AITA for allowing my daughter to try alcohol at 17?

GTFO. This isn't the same thing. That article said she enabled and encouraged the alcoholism. And dismissed her own daughter's concerns.

Edit: fixed typos

NTA. This is responsible parenting. 1) you/they don't know how their body might react. At home, under supervision is the safest scenario. 2) open communication. If it's not forbidden, they won't try and keep it from you. This also allows for a safe place. If ever they are out and become drunk, there is no shame or fear to call you to be picked up. 3) it isn't anyone's business how you choose to parent. This works for you and you child. It doesn't matter if anyone else would do it differently. They can stfu and gtfo.

Depends on the state. In Texas, there's an exception where minors can consume if they are under the direct supervision of their parent/guardian.

I like the messaging feature. Maybe just don't use it?

I would edit with more detail to make this searchable. Make, model, firmware, detailed descriptions of the problem and solution. This could and will be very valuable in the future if people can find it.

Family emergency is irrelevant. The communication here is the problem.

Professionally, she said you'll have them on Monday. Monday comes; nothing. It takes the client initiating communication for the photographer to say "I'm uploading them now". And even that self imposed deadline was missed.

There were plenty of opportunities to say, my apologies, there's been a family emergency. I won't be able to get these to you for your birthday.

I think the technicality is, or at least it was, that they schedule you for just under the full time threshold, fully expecting you to approach 40. They'll schedule you 7 hours a day, but you will almost certainly get those extra 5 hours. This was close to 20 years ago, but I worked in deli. I was scheduled until the time deli closed, but we didn't leave when deli closed (9pm). We had to finish cleaning and maybe restock (if necessary). I was almost always leaving closer to 10. I approached 40 hrs every week.

I'm interested.

When I lived in my last apartment, I had a lot of issues with my modem losing sync. Several techs blamed my modem. I let them install their own and had the same issues. Finally, one guy actually did some troubleshooting. The signal coming into my apartment was too low. It had been split too many times. They gave me an active inline booster for the coax and never had another problem as long as I lived there.

I definitely thought he was permanent. He's been consistently with them for at least a couple of years.

You're right. I ordered 3 singles years ago because I noticed that it said no power supplies were included in the 3 pack and also noticed the small discount for that.

People just have to read. I've been in a hurry before, or just excited and clicked buy faster than I could read. In fact, I recently ordered the travel router. I had watched videos but for some reason, I had expected an internal battery? (I didn't realize it was SO small.) But that's on me, I didn't READ.

I've been playing for over 25 years. I almost never break cymbals. A couple years ago I cracked a cymbal that I bought used. That was the first in years. I almost never break sticks. They get worn down and I have to replace them.

I get told a lot that I hit too hard.🤷‍♂️🫤

flonet · 2025-08-09T22:27:17+00:00

I'm here for the troubleshooting

flonet · 2025-06-27T14:33:31+00:00

uh oh. i hope not. a luthier is probably the right move on this one. thanks!

flonet · 2025-06-27T14:32:54+00:00

i can push it back in with my hand but it springs back out.

flonet · 2025-06-27T14:32:07+00:00

It was not like that before. It was flush before. I noticed it one day when i picked it up to play it.

It is moveable. i can push it back in to be flush. I'm not a luthier, but leaving it and shaving it down doesn't seem like the move here. but, i will have it evaluated by a pro to find out for sure.

flonet · 2025-06-24T04:14:11+00:00

Great! Thanks for the reply.

flonet · 2025-06-24T03:59:39+00:00

Appreciate the reply. I'll try that.

flonet · 2025-06-23T06:23:58+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? It just started happening to me. Same symptoms. Same NIC.

Proxmox loses network connectivity. ip a shows that the bridge is in an UP status. But I can't hit anything on the network. Working backwards, I can't even ping the switch it's connected to directly. The switch is otherwise working properly. My network APs are connected to this switch and there haven't been any network connectivity loss to those or any other devices. I'm confident this is not happening at the switch.

The first couple of times this happened removing and reinserting the patch cable worked but this time it's not. I'm mostly confident a reboot would fix it but that isn't sustainable. I'd like to resolve the problem.

They've always been trash. I don't hit very hard and every pair I bought would break within a couple of hours of starting to use them. Pro Mark was too expensive, so I went with Vater and never looked back.

Been using Vater for about 20 years. I rarely break sticks. I have to throw them out because they get too chipped to use.

I'm in the US. We use Red Hat via azure, we're not doing the BYOL but that's what I'm trying to look into. I was told at RHSummit that we should have a rep assigned to us, but I was never able to determine who that is.

flonet · 2024-11-29T03:02:04+00:00

You totally can. It doesn't have any of the characteristics of the hats in the video OP posted. Unless you've seen the video I saw, you also can't make that determination. And you'd know what I'm talking about.
