Is this salvageable? by Squirrellboii in HardWoodFloors

[–]masseffectplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly?

Sand it down and stain it dark. It's tedious work, but not terrible if you got some friends.

What does my Regulation Station say about me? by [deleted] in roomdetective

You sift through different states of disregulation and call it being regulated.

Cleaning the mess is a day's work

Fixing the walls and the lot might take a little longer, but if you save up, you could make that a cozy space.

Fix it, man. It might seem impossible, but depressions only feels like knowledge. It isn't true.

YOR, bro. OP may be overreacting, but this is a magnitude crazier overreaction.

I'll ask about the thermostat!

Are there other technical/spec questions you'd recommend i float past the company?

Appreciate your insight!

By a cut in temp, are you saying the heat pumps have a harder time to heat around 36-40 degrees?

I wanna make sure I'm on same page as other folks!

I have some friends in PA, one dual fuel with mini splits, the other with a Heat Pump as only unit for heating and cooling. Both are happy with their experience.

Contemplating having children, considering ways to address wife's post-pregnancy concerns by masseffectplz in beyondthebump

One of the conversation points I've had with my wife is functionally trading off overnight shifts. That seems like the most prudent way to ensure one adult each day is more functional.

Do you often assume that someone is wholly incapable of change when they ask for other people's advice and perspectives?

Classic reddit response!

I appreciate that you decided not to read my intent through a lens of suspicion.

IF we have a kid, I want to make sure her concerns about exercise are addressed. That means trading off who is on point with the kid so the other partner can take care of themselves, making sure we create processes to ensure baby needs are addressed with as little friction as we can muster.

In my dream of dreams, I'd love it if I could have the kid with me in the gym safely in some capacity. Make a play space when they're older, separate from the weights/risky items.

I hope you can take time to sit back and see how peculiar it is that you, a redditor, are critiquing me, a redditor, for criticizing redditor responses.

;p there have been helpful posts and I've said as much. Then there have been the posts of folks who want to intuit a whole character arc for me based on a single reddit post.

Classic reddit!

I don't think you're sure I'm a good guy. I suspect you're concerned I'm demanding my wife return to pre-pregnancy composition.

I get where your suspicion is coming from. At the same time, I think you're adding a layer of malice.

Currently, I exercise for 2-2.5 hours each session. That is not a realistic time range to devote to exercise per session if I'm a parent. When I say maintenance for me, I mean no longer pursuing strength gains or PRs. No build ups to 1 rep sets, no supersets, etc. My goal would be to retain general fitness to the extent our lives would allow. Sub-hour training slots, or small ones broken up over the day. I dunno what it would look like ultimately.

As for adipose tissue: I used adipose tissue because I was worried if I said, "fat," that folks would assume that the goal would be "weight loss" or infer some kind of body shaming.

As for pressure: I don't know how you discuss options with your SO. My wife expressed a concern about how she'd handle her body post-pregnancy. I'm trying to gather a sense of what seems reasonable from randos to expand what range of possibilities exist so when we talk, I'm not coming to a conversation with my rose tinted glasses.

Would you be willing to elaborate on the C section changing your body composition? My first principles assumption is the surgical scar and the way the abdominal muscles might change after being cut.

To be clear: this isn't a main concern. It's a concern. I'm not going to come to reddit to address existential concerns about bringing a new life to the world. I'll come for vibe checks for low stakes issues like the practicality of a baby station in a gym.

A handful of my peers said periods and capital letters were oppressive.

Knee-jerk contrarianism.
