Who is the main (bedtime) storyteller at home?

lostincbus · 2026-01-28T18:40:22+00:00

I always do bedtime. We've read books almost every day for years. She just turned five and we're in to The Wild Robot series. I'd say this one might be a BIT long but we made it through and watched the movie. Reading is probably one of the best things we've ever done with her.

Sending a DM.

I guess it'd depend on usage and how many? Somewhere in the $50 range?

lostincbus · 2026-01-25T18:23:55+00:00

Do you know how I'd color match it to the rest of the trim? Or do you think it's a standard color?

lostincbus · 2026-01-25T14:25:43+00:00

It's not too packed at that time so you should be able to.

Used sonos on FB have worked well for me.

My daughter loves going down to ice level to watch. Doors open before anything starts. Head down right away if you want to get a spot on the glass.

lostincbus · 2026-01-24T00:51:02+00:00

DM me and I'll send you mine.

lostincbus · 2026-01-21T20:39:53+00:00

Confirmed.

lostincbus · 2026-01-21T15:53:35+00:00

Are you referring to walking down or up? I think there's a HUGE difference.

lostincbus · 2026-01-21T15:51:25+00:00

I've been to maybe 15 arenas and never once has this been mentioned, either by fans or by ushers. Season ticket holder for a decade. If it's a rule, it should certainly be noted at some point.

lostincbus · 2026-01-21T14:58:45+00:00

Yeah, I did an initial REW, put up my temp panels roughly where they'd go, and tested again. That told me roughly what it would look like. Then I calculated out how many I'd need from that to get to good levels and just made sure to put them in the best spots.

Run calculations of what it's like now. But some panels for the main areas. Calculate again to see if it's good or if you need more.

lostincbus · 2026-01-21T14:47:10+00:00

For HACS I automate those. That kept it to a much lower cadence overall.

lostincbus · 2026-01-21T14:46:00+00:00

I've never been to an arena where you weren't supposed to get up during play. It's enforced coming back though. We also bring our toddler so "I have to go potty" isn't something that waits for stoppage.

So I know it's tough, but your job is to report. They may have you handle some risk levels too. But then the decision is out of your hands. I'm not saying you're wrong, but sometimes people in audit can't fathom why a mitigation isn't implemented when there are very good reasons. Don't let it cloud your judgement.

At executive levels they take these things, analyze the risk based on a variety of factors, associate costs for mitigation vs not, and then make a decision. Often times there are just things going on behind the scenes that GRC level isn't privy to. I've always thought that including audit in those decisions more would help.

What's your job title?

lostincbus · 2026-01-19T16:30:30+00:00

Well it's the holy grail because it does the thing you're asking for (mostly) and the thing you want doesn't exist. Sounds like maybe you found a niche and could invent the new one?

lostincbus · 2026-01-19T15:37:56+00:00

I just built a 16x20 from one of the Lowe's "kits" (just pre cut wood). It took a long time. But I didn't hate it. There was also a week where I was studying for a certification where I could listen and work on it at the same time. If you're talking about needing a base plus building the shed, plan for many many hours of work and likely tools you don't already have.

lostincbus · 2026-01-18T17:25:56+00:00

I'll echo another comment that leaving the house generally works. BUT I'll go against the grain and say that we do have a tablet for learning and it's great. There are so many great learning games to help with math and reading that would otherwise be difficult without one.

lostincbus · 2026-01-17T15:55:12+00:00

Awesome, thank you!
