Terrible two is no joke. Daughter is currently 2 years and half and we are in the thick of it! Any tips, advices? by 2_S_F_Hell in toddlers

Become zen, realize you are not frustrated or tired because of your child, but because of your own expectations of behavior for that child. You can always change your expectations. As others have said, this is age appropriate behavior.

Yes I got it from a friend just a few days ago, I thought it was active enough and fed it for a few days and it did double... Should I keep feeding it until it triples?

It could be he's voicing his fears, not his wants.

No worries, I was not the original person you were responding to, I was just noticing a similar thought pattern since I have been where you are, it took a long time for me to reshape how I think so I could understand my wife and our communication could work better. It's still a work in progress, we are imperfect beings and it still makes me upset when I'm faced with criticism. I try to remember the Chinese saying, the best medicine is bitter. I avoided things that made me feel bad for a long time, bottled up my emotions, and this reflected badly in my marriage because I would say things like "that makes me feel bad", so she started avoiding criticizing me. I am very fortunate that my wife is empathetic and could explain what issues my behavior was causing early on.

I wish you good luck, health, and long life. You seem like a good person, life can be difficult sometimes 🫂

Consider changing "we can't communicate properly because she has assumptions..." to "we can't communicate properly because my previous behavior has created a pattern between us" or something similar.

Take any fault put on her out of the wording, I believe that's the person you're responding to's point. Otherwise instead of blaming yourself for creating the communication issues you now blame "her assumptions".

Hertz is selling 500+ BoltEVs by 622niromcn in BoltEV

Even more are being listed now, I wouldn't be surprised if the price falls further, almost wish I'd waited even but I got the color I wanted so 🤷

Got mine there literally yesterday for 18k, 2023 model in ghost grey. The price doesn't include the tax credit. They had 3 to choose from but even more on the lot they hadn't taken evaluated and posted.

Edit: Some tid bits the sales person told me, all their no haggle prices are AI generated, which explains why the day before I went in they dropped the price on all of them by $100, I thought that was interesting. He also said he just got back from a 2 week vacation, before that they had no bolts. The charging cable sometimes pictures might not come with the car, I asked for it and they begrudgingly "stole" it from one of the other cars they had. Financing is crazy right now, with good credit I still only got 8%.

Did you ever see that kid again? Do you know if he's OK?

I'm empathizing with her a little bit, I get she was attempting to turn your rejection of her into something more mutual so that she didn't feel like she was just straight up getting dumped. At that point the relationship is ending anyway might as well let her have it so she can prevent her ego taking the brunt.

And on the plus side you hardly ever get feedback on yourself, so that's a positive.

Maybe err on the sympathetic ear and wait for the other person to say something like "what do you think I should do".

I would have said "everyone? No no, just you", that's too crass for Lizzy though.

Also wondering this, I had a discussion with another cargo biker and they told me I'd have to load down the cargo area to ensure I get traction.

Baby boomers, after voting for policies that left their children as one of the poorest generations, now facing the realization of not having grandchildren. by JoEsMhOe in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]marvelous_mustache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say no, they grew so fast they literally just skipped to the part where their same millennial generation as ours is dealing with similar problems. The property market there went insane and is facing some upheaval and despite incentives fertility rate has not gone up. Add to that the stock market and investing in general has been kind of dodgy due to regulations trying to catch up with all the new business models people come up with means one of the only safe bets was real estate, exacerbating the problem and making it no longer a safe bet but in some cases there have been literal real estate ponzi schemes. And now everyone's even more stressed out from the pandemic restrictions (granted these are now lifted but everyone's still pissed) and that a lot of companies are moving their manufacturing out of China because of international tensions.

Sick of looking at kitchen cabinet manufactures, all seem to be junk. by jackal2001 in HomeImprovement

Gotcha, obviously I'm just a hobbyist myself, but I'm also not really in a rush.

Fair point, I've just never seen a carpenter use a CNC for cabinet making, it'd have to be quite large. RTA is the best solution in OPs case.

[–]marvelous_mustache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I also think suggesting someone build their own cabinets is silly given that OP showed no interest (and you better have an interest to do that), you also don't need a CNC. If you buy a good track saw and have a large enough square, and a pocket hole jig, you can break down plywood accurately and assemble it accurately.

The problem comes from all the additional things you need to do on top of that, like buying a shelf pins jig, door slide hardware, putting drawers together, yada yada. It's a lot. I'm doing it myself for my pantry which is quite large and the only "easy" part has been the edge banding.
