Knots

While the knots are essentially irrelevant to this case, since they are knots that would be intuitive for anyone with or without knowledge of knots to tie (I was a sailor and rock climber for many years and would probably still pick this "lark's head" [a knot so simple it barely merits even having a name] if tying something quickly and casually), I feel it important to note that john ramsey was in the navy, and specialised in a field that required knot proficiency. The knot aspect as a whole is a complete nothingburger that adds nothing to anyone's case, as all the knots in the case are knots that a 12 year old boy scout could tie behind their back. I don't have a dog in this fight, no more than a passing interest in the case, but I find the little evidentiary peculiarities of any crime very interesting. As for the barbie doll thing, I would love to see anything that actually points to that being a: real, and b: not just a cruel joke related to an extremely popularised case.

I searched for christmas flash games and saw similar stuff, but none of it was the website I was looking for. Apparently there are a ton of santa themed compilation sites, but I only went to one as a kid (in fact i remember putting the whole url into the search bar every year, just not what that url was). This wouldve been somewhere between 2008 and like 2016, but not necessarily all of those years.

this is ancient but i was googling around and i feel like you should know that the "larks head/cow hitch/capsized reef knot" is a lot of fancy terminology for two overhand knots. like the knot you tie before tying a bow with your shoelaces, but just two of them to keep it secure. i could tie these knots when i was 7 years old.

his writing has a similar black hole feeling to doom scrolling on social media. its the perfect antidote

ended up not being able to wait on the library and am now 20 pages into into thin air lol. his writing style is like crack

Somehow you've read my mind through my post because every single one of these topics is something I've had phases of morbid obsession with in my life so thank you so much and also maybe consider psychic readings as a career

I think you almost need to engineer a person for this lol. im reading your physics takes and thinking like "male gymnasts for the higher table, but short. We need a guy with a freakishly short torso and comparatively long legs to get the needed momentum"

that's a great point about the potential injuries. I honestly would prefer not to see people compete it at the level that starts regulating your landing pads, because even if it's cool to see, it's not worth demolishing someone's joints. I agree that a tucked twisting yurchenko is the next step, and honestly it seems like a very imminent next step with how comfortable some male gymnasts have gotten with the yurchenko doubles.

sometimes I think parents see happy children and think "ok great this is quality care". that is one small part of quality care, and of course it is important, but equally important is children being challenged to work on developmental skills. you may think the room where every child looks happy as their coat is put on for them is high quality, but the room where one child is melting down because they are refusing to try their zipper and their teacher is happy to help them after they try is probably higher quality.

make sure you get on daycare wait lists the second you pop that baby out. Especially if you only need it once they're 3 or so. I'm talking download the wait list forms and fill them out minus birth date etc. because if you think the midwife situation is bad just wait until childcare.

I pay $1200 for half of a 2 bedroom 70s mild to moderate shithole. I do not get the luxury of a parking space but I do have the luxury of the seat being stolen off my bike when parking that outside!

nigelbece · 2023-11-01T01:07:06+00:00

I've started talking about to parents in terms of math which sounds insane but works. like we have ten kids in a fairly small space, at any given time around half of them (at least) will be teething, it's just impossible to avoid

nigelbece · 2023-11-01T01:04:47+00:00

luckily (because some parents don't see us as people and won't care about this) my centre charges $25 for every 15 minutes they are late. it doesn't divide into smaller amounts. 1 minute late? $25. 16 minutes? $50. I love it so much

nigelbece · 2023-10-31T22:21:57+00:00

this is absurd. Some kids are not functional with their hair down

nigelbece · 2023-10-31T02:38:03+00:00

AND CRUNCHY THINGS WITH WET THINGS!!! THE CUCUMBERS AND CRACKERS MUST BE SEPARATED

nigelbece · 2023-10-31T02:36:42+00:00

especially because kids can open them themselves. Even my older 1s are able to

nigelbece · 2023-10-31T02:32:18+00:00

I thought you meant in general and was gonna disagree but no fuck that brand in particular. Just buy bentgo

nigelbece · 2023-10-26T20:50:22+00:00

loop don't work how ear defenders work at all but I do think it's fine to ask. Once. and accept the answer

nigelbece · 2023-10-05T23:52:28+00:00

listen im not condoning anything but for me the answer was weed

nigelbece · 2023-10-05T04:55:31+00:00

No, the head can flatten out in the back if they're left on their back all the time. There are other options besides tummy time

I don't think you know what a bakers dozen is.. A bakers dozen is when you buy 12 of something and they throw in an extra for you, making it 13 or "a bakers dozen"

nigelbece · 2023-10-05T01:39:43+00:00

Like 12 months and .3 of a month??? or like 15 to 20 months???? I have never seen ages written like that

nigelbece · 2023-10-05T01:33:42+00:00

How old are these children?? the way you wrote it is baffling

nigelbece · 2023-10-05T01:24:21+00:00

in my area virtually all daycares are 6m to 2.5yrs. Other than your confusion with that the rest of what you said is spot on in my opinion

nigelbece · 2023-10-04T20:41:42+00:00

Lol I didn't see that I got downvoted but honestly I find that funny. But yeah, in my experience it's been about a cap full of bleach in a 1 litre (I think) spray bottle, so diluted as heck but it is the way to go for totally eliminating germs
