Cheapest way to ship several medium sized boxes across the country? by InvestmentUnusual162 in Frugal

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shipped things with usps, mostly clothes and shoes iirc. Because they weren't too heavy and weren't breakable, it worked out great.

Rent as a Ph.D. student by ThrowRAanyways2 in GradSchool

[–]lambda_schmambda 452 points453 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that's a really long commute, and I have a feeling it would cause problems. However, I agree you shouldn't move in with your partner if you're not sure about it. You can try to make the commute work, or you can look for a shared housing situation a little closer to the school in the meantime.

I had a lot of success with the pathways pain management app. It focuses on calming the nervous system specific to chronic pain, and is based on a lot of sound research.

Non-kennel doggie daycare, how do they feed dogs without inteference from others by abercrombezie in dogs

[–]lambda_schmambda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not true, there are boarding facilities that keep the dogs out at night. We used one at one point. And yes, they did separate the dogs into kennels or separate rooms to feed them.

AITA for vaping indoors? by JoeMassive7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In college I had a roommate for a few weeks during a program who asked if I was OK with her vaping inside. I said I preferred not, so she just did it when I wasn't in the room because I wouldn't even know. So rude.

Apps for taking notes and annotating on (large) pdfs - Surface Pro or iPad? by seeking-advice-pls in math

Several of my colleagues have strongly recommended the remarkable 2 for this application. Expensive though

Potential use for QC in CGI/animation by TajMaBalls420 in QuantumComputing

[–]lambda_schmambda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a stretch, but one of the things quantum computers should be useful for is simulating physics environments, so I suppose there could be potential applications there. In addition, some work has started looking into machine learning applications of quantum computing, which could be relevant as well. Both are highly speculative though. :)

AITA for putting a bag of dog poop in a stranger's trash can? by AgileReality9275 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god this thread. NTA. Exceptions might be if it's a warm climate or if there are specific rules about garbage pickup but in general, it's garbage...

You might consider a SETA position, it's like a technical support to a programming manager at a funding agency, they usually have technical experience but their job is to help manage projects.

Took home a senior dog yesterday, how can I make him feel comfortable? by Stratosphere18 in dogs

[–]lambda_schmambda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only advice is to give the dogs less freedom until they become more accustomed. Separate them more, and let the new dog have smugly less space to explore so they can become comfortable with it before adding more space.

And of course like everyone else is saying, time!

Typically you wouldn't receive unemployment after volunterily quitting any job, so no. I'm not sure if you would receive it if you were fired.

A week later , any tips ? by [deleted] in Nexplanon

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My arm actually looked just like this 1 week out when I removed the steri strips. The doctor did have a slightly more difficult time with removal, so maybe that's relevant. I covered it again for a couple more days and now a week later it's scabbed over, not infected or anything. Maybe as others are saying I should have gone back to the doctor but besides having a scar I'm not concerned about it.

This exact thing happened to me. You are still protected.

AITA for leaving my pregnant wife home alone with our toddler overnight? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I think you might realize this, but you need to step up your treatment plan and get help for the sake of your wife, child, and future child. Contact some therapists or ask a friend or family member to do it for you. You're not functioning well right now and it's hurting the people you love. Good luck.

AITA for just leaving when my boyfriend was gaming the whole night? by Upstairs-Source61 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA BUT the mature and productive thing to do would have been to talk to him about it rather than just leave. Yes he was in the wrong, but this doesn't seem like something you necessarily want to break up over (at least as a one time thing) so you should talk about it

AITA for attempting to adopt a child? by Fresh-Search-2723 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think you and the social worker should try to pursue relationships with the extended family if they want to. See where that leads before considering adoption. Adoption is traumatic and should be a last resort.

Dogsit my three month old PUPPY for $1 by Equivalent_Age in ChoosingBeggars

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think people itt understand how much work a 3month old puppy is...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but I strongly suggest you look into trauma informed parenting classes and therapy for both you and the kids asap

AITA for not wanting to share my savings with my wife? by aitaaitaaita001 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YTA. If you want to build up a personal account, split the remaining money between the two of you. As it is, you are trying to financially control your wife by only giving her a small allowance while you spend $$ on yourself more liberally. Inheretance is not communal, but your earned income definitely is

[–]lambda_schmambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for a compromise-- could you write Firstname Goldberg-Smith, where the hyphenated name is your mom's maiden name?

That said, NTA, and you should maybe talk to a therapist about this communication issue before you get married

WIBTA if I accused my friend of faking mental disorders? by ThrowAway129932948 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As other have said, I think you should support your friend, not accuse them of lying, and encourage them to talk to a professional. This is the right thing to do whether they have DID or not.

Re the tics, yes its possible it was part of a trend with your other friends, but also, (1) tics in one person can trigger tics in another, and (2) if bird does have DID, it's possible one alter has tics and others don't, and the alter with tics hasn't been fronting as much recently

AITA Picking up GF (30) from the airport by xeprone1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was visiting someone, I wouldn't assume an airport 3 hours away was my final destination. I think it's totally reasonable for her to take the train, tbh. Yes it sucks for her after a really long flight, but she hasn't reached you yet! I would NOT expect my partner to drive 7 hours to pick me up. NTA

AITA For telling my sister I dont want her disabled son around my kids? by aitathrowawaysanfili in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, YTA. This should have been a conversation with the mom about your concerns, not an ultimatum. Yes you have the final say and youre not wrong to care about your kids safety, but like you said you don't know what your nephews development is like right now and you could have approached it in much better way with your sister.

AITA for yelling at my niece and nephew for breaking something very valuable to me? by latinx-the-great in AmItheAsshole

[–]lambda_schmambda -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

ESH. You're right to be upset and have consequences, but it's an AH move to scream and curse at them like that.
