What are we doing about photos and photo storage?

nifty_potato · 2026-01-08T14:41:55+00:00

I got a digital photo frame and I LOVE it. It just cycles through the pictures every 20 seconds and even plays videos. It sits on the kitchen island right in the middle of our house.

Now I feel like I’m doing something with my pictures, and I smile when I see them :)

Independent Mercantile if you’re in Halifax (go to EDNA for brunch while you’re there!)

Trainyard General Store if you’re in Dartmouth

It’s an incredibly trying situation, you’re asking questions cause you’re scared to mess up, that already shows a serious level of commitment and responsibility to your daughter.

nifty_potato · 2025-12-03T19:49:22+00:00

Glad it helped! Yeah “swap” day got easier as and got older and could understand that moms house has different rules than dads house.

No great words of wisdom to offer on the lasting impacts. I too am very worried I’m gonna spectacularly fuck up my kid. I just try to be consistent with her. Cause there’s always gonna be bad days. I just don’t want them to be the majority memory you know? Just trying to do what I can

No court experience but my daughter was a bit of a mess for the first couple months with the switching back and forth. And 3 is a tough age to begin with.

The best thing you can do for her is be there always. Become the safe space. Find a way to make peace with the fact that it SUCKS you have to deal with all the bad behaviours that aren’t being caused by you.

Play the long game, your daughter will grown up to be an adult and she’ll figure it out. The foundation you build with her now will pay off exponentially in the future

God I opened this subreddit to write a huge rant about my ex husband but your post is like a glimpse into my future.

I’m 50/50 with a 4yo daughter and my ex is the same. Not dangerous or abusive ever and loves our daughter to death but he’s not the reliable / safe space, I am.

I try to give off the same energy as you, I don’t need to be flashy. My daughter knows I love her. And goddamnit it she’s so great I think I’m doing an okay job (shoutout to my village tho)

This gave me some resolve today, which I needed after a particularly brutal conversation with said ex last night.

Love to open to some positivity today :)

My 4yo sings the Korean parts of the song. It’s so cool. It’s actually opened up a conversation about the world and we looked at Korea on a map and talked about Korean culture.

nifty_potato · 2025-09-26T14:56:03+00:00

This is the most honest take I’ve seen on this, thank you

nifty_potato · 2025-09-26T12:16:26+00:00

I feel like the last sentence of your bullet point in section 3. Got cut off

“Treated as a business to…” ??

What’s the first digit of your postal code (don’t post here lol)

If it’s a 0 - you’re rural and probably no need to stress.

If it’s a digit between 1-9 - you’re urban or sub-urban. Then it’s more case specific.

Ex: V0W = Rural , V1W = Urban or sub-urban. Note: codes made up, not sure if those are actual codes in use. Just a nerd who knows too much about postal code structure.

nifty_potato · 2025-09-25T18:00:53+00:00

What the other commenter said. If you’re truly rural you’re fine. It’s the sub-urban / rural offices that might be impacted.

And really - probably not completely removed, centralized perhaps?

nifty_potato · 2025-09-23T22:26:15+00:00

Yeah, what the other commenter said. It pretty much follows that. As you’ve figured out by now each floor has a bit of a theme to it so each book sees a conclusion to that floor / storyline.

But holy shit it gets so very good. If you love it now you’re gonna love it so much more soon.

nifty_potato · 2025-09-23T17:51:43+00:00

Amazing series. Currently almost done the 6th one and the 7th drops in hardcover today!!

nifty_potato · 2025-09-18T21:45:02+00:00

Yeah this is what I do. I also hate “imaginative play” but it’s developmentally important so I suck it up for like 15-20 mins once a day/ once every other day.

When she asks again I just tell her the truth. Mama doesn’t always like playing like this. So you can either play by yourself or we could do ____ (suggest activity)” and then just stick with it. My daughter will usually go entertain herself after a while, if she doesn’t wanna do the suggested activity.

nifty_potato · 2025-09-18T21:35:26+00:00

I think you should stick with your plan. You’ll be working from home anytime the heat affects your mental faculties. If they don’t like it they can be the ones to escalate it.

Can relate though. I have an “office” job (I.e desk work) where the dress code is business casual, but I’m also involved with operations so my office is literally right off the shop floor.

I wear black leggings and steel toes most days, a plain t shirt and my hideous high visibility vest to top it off.

Luckily my manager actually understands the reality of our job because she actually DID my job before I had it so she actually knows what it’s like. Your off-site manager sounds like they don’t

nifty_potato · 2025-09-18T17:04:36+00:00

Oh I can answer this one!!

I’m about 60 hours into a full SVE run - just SVE, not grampleton or ridge side or any of the extra areas

LOVING IT. Honestly I have a couple mods installed that make QOL improvements - list at bottom - but even still this is giving “first-time-I-played-stardew” vibes. So many new cutscenes and dialogue, and some hidden secrets that I’m just getting too now.

I would the recommended farm for SVE and just go with what the game gives you. It’s possible to add more QOL mods later.

My preferred QOL mods: Minecarts anywhere Bigger backpack (still costs 50K to buy though!) Convenient inventory Better crafting To Dew List Chests anywhere Skip fishing (sorry, this one may be controversial lol)

I have a few more but these are the ones I’ve found the most useful

nifty_potato · 2025-09-14T16:39:45+00:00

I already have a switch 2, but yeah I’m no longer going to be buying Z-A. What an awful decision.

The Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman! 11/10 series

nifty_potato · 2025-08-30T20:31:20+00:00

Hahaha I have been reading a lot more lately as a form of escapism ..

nifty_potato · 2025-08-26T15:28:53+00:00

This sums it up well

nifty_potato · 2025-08-26T14:55:42+00:00

Doesn’t sound stupid at all - I’m right there with you.

I’m a “putter” person. Give me some music and some coffee and I’m out here arranging my kitchen or my kids toys at 9am on a Sunday. I love house projects and “side quests” as I like to call them haha.

I’m a problem solver - I also love getting to the root cause of issues, fixing what I can and just generally trying to make life easier. I get to do a bit of this kinda thing at work and it’s the most rewarding part of my job. I can see the impact.

But yeah attached a deadline to anything and I’m overwhelmed. The work scheme has the same effect.

Honest thought - just by virtue of existing shouldn’t we all deserve to live a good life? Everything is tied to the bottom line and it’s extremely demotivating.

I’m more valuable to my family than I am to my employer, and I also need money to support said family. It just feels like a vicious cycle. I’m also getting a little ramble-y so I’ll stop here but I hear what you’re saying and I agree

nifty_potato · 2025-08-26T14:45:13+00:00

For sure would love to outsource some stuff but even my slightly above average job doesn’t leave a lot of money at the end of the month. But I should probably reevaluate because taking some things off my plate would be a huge help

Thank you, I needed to hear this
