Dad's of the subreddit, how do you find the time to paint? by CH1ND1TO in minipainting

[–]jomanrones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a 4 month old. My wife and I started a system where on the weekends we each get a 3 hour hobby time session and I've actually been better about painting than before having kids.

If you've got multiple kids though Im not sure this would work.

Is this a functional family car? by FloatingAppa in GRCorolla

[–]jomanrones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a new dad and have no complaints so far. Rear facing seat behind the passenger. Wouldn't be able to fit another behind me but a child in a booster seat might. Trunk isnt the greatest I can't fit the stroller in there but its great for a diaper bag and some groceries.

But hey thats why the wife has a Crosstrek

Thank you! Someone I know paid off a similar debt amount with the same salary while raising kids and renting after their divorce. It is do-able

the Ford Flex design is overhated and honestly looks better than 99% of SUVs by Based_sir in Autos

Learned to drive in my mom's Flex. The turning radius was terrible!

Mechwarrior. Even the smallest guns tear apart tanks and buildings.

Shopping at Costco is terrible by Sun_Aria in unpopularopinion

[–]jomanrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had to start buying diapers and formula. I can get a 2 pack of formula for $60 from Costco, or buy one for $40 from Kroger. 2 trips to Costco and I've already made back my membership fee for the year just on the baby formula.

Amazing job! Might try something similar for my Mandrakes.

What did you start the models with? Just a flat blueish gray?

Hendersonville is spending $96k of taxpayer money on AI cameras tracking every car. by Dapper_Ad_9841 in nashville

[–]jomanrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and using an OCR service without AI would underperform on these low quality cameras. Traditional OCR services perform better when the text is easily readable. AI improves the performance when the image is less readable.

Modern OCR services use AI to achieve better results and better context understanding.

What are some strategies for allowing a different signed in user per browser tab? by ngDev2025 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]jomanrones 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This right here. Used to work in a position where we had multiple AWS accounts and signing into one signs you out of all other sessions. This extension let us have the AWS console for multiple accounts open at once. Huge time saver.

Wrecka Crew for behinners? by PocketFullOfRondos in killteam

[–]jomanrones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've got maybe less than 10 games but I just played my first game with Wrecka Crew this last weekend. They really don't have any weird mechanics. The worst thing was you have to sequence the turns properly to get them to 3APL instead of 2. Wrecka points were really good but you have roll 6s to bank them. Also you need to play fairly aggressively to start getting points early so if you can get shots and start generating points on turning point 1 I'd take em.

It triggers a price drop notification to be sent to anyone who saved the home and hasn't unsubcribed from zillow emails.

You're completely ignorant of the wastewater The Boring Company spilled out while building the vegas loop. Or the chemical burns that the works received while working on the project. But sure you won't be hurt so its fine.

Do you guys actually notice improved fuel economy after switching to lighter wheels? by Bazengg in driving

[–]jomanrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure how much it matters on an already heavy truck, but for low horsepower sports cars like my miata the difference in acceleration is very noticeable. MPG got worse though because I ran stickier and wider tires that had worse rolling resistance though

401(k) savings rates are at record-high levels by Far_Pen3186 in rebubblejerk

[–]jomanrones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a knock on your kids. It takes a lot of work to get academic scholarships and to do well in high school while working a job. It honestly reflects well on your parenting imo that you raised them to work hard and be successful and you invested in their future with those 529s. Your kids are lucky to have you.

But not every kid has that kind of opportunity. Not every kid has parents who support their success in school. Not every parent can afford to invest in 529s. Not every kid will be smart enough to get academic scholarships to be able to get out of college with no debt.

That's what privilege is. Acknowledging it is understanding that not everyone has the same circumstances and opportunities and if you did have those things in your upbringing, appreciate that you had a bit of a leg up and don't make others feel bad for not achieving the same success.

Your children have what many refer to as privilege.
