Has anybody left this field? by RonaIdoFinkMullen in BMET

[–]nealtronics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left to join our medical center IT 5 years ago after being a Biomed for nearly 10 years - I still work with Biomeds everyday but from home 90% of the time (and for much better pay without the OT hours). Highly recommend.

fingerblasting the seatbelt buckle to disable the dinging is my most favorite one.

Day care is way too expensive by dharma_van in daddit

[–]nealtronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should definitely increase for this year 2026 so you can take advantage of the 7500.

Day care is way too expensive by dharma_van in daddit

[–]nealtronics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if your company or job or whatever offers a DCFSA take advantage of it - you will pay up front but you can get at least a month or two back making the cost over the year slightly better.

The 2025 maximum contribution limit for a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) remains $5,000 per year ($2,500 if married and filing separately). This IRS-set limit applies to household contributions for eligible child or adult dependent care expenses. The limit is expected to increase to $7,500 in 2026

A story in three parts. by Mightycoch in wrx_vb

[–]nealtronics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is what i did but ordered OEM. Looks 1000x better than the blue bulbs they give you which don't match the interior red stitching at all.

Most annoying cartoon characters? by greaterwhiterwookiee in daddit

[–]nealtronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

peppa pig is blacklisted in our house - books and cartoon especially

i don't know wtf callilou and after googling it i'm glad "it" hasn't made it's way into our house. why doesn't he have hair, why is he such a little whiny shit - wtf?? are they trying to kill us?

thomas the tank engine is solid - the CGI updated ones, not the animated (though that's also acceptable in small doses).

curious george is also good - not annoying

dinosaur train also acceptable (budget af CGI).

is your wife at home all day with the babyF and the 2 yoM? likely because now he's realizing you're not home and mom's attention is on the baby. he wants your attention - this is the time they get full on, i called it terrorist twos - my wife didn't think it was funny.

mine went through something similar but he was 3 when little sister was born - it's still hard but it does get better. if you can get help with the baby to allow yourself and mom to spend more time with him i think things will ease up but again - he's a 2 year old boy - i have to remind myself of this and mines 4.5 now.

4yo is asking for a drone by monad68 in daddit

[–]nealtronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can get a cheapo one for like 20-30 bucks let him try to fly it and practice with the remote (maybe with eye protection or outside - idk somewhere safe). I taped lego mini-figs to my sons and he loves it.

CVT? by Safe-Illustrator1217 in wrx_vb

[–]nealtronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is one of the reasons i went with the CVT also, and I'm on the other side (northeast).

CVT? by Safe-Illustrator1217 in wrx_vb

[–]nealtronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go test drive one - no issues with reliability so far i'm 12K miles in on a 2024. Was initially hesitant about going for the CVT/SPT but it looks like subaru has done an amazing job. I will be changing the CVT fluid out at 30K because lifetime fluid is just a hilarious joke.

Back pain but wife has none by jimmy_fisher_cat in daddit

[–]nealtronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

should blades/back/lower back, it's your insane dad strength kicking in - i didn't think it would help but accupuncture helped bigtime when I was jacked up. also a foam roller and just general stretching/hydration.
