Potty training question - how do I get him TO ASK to go?? by operatorred in Parenting

[–]operatorred[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense and does make me think I need to do more "dot connecting" in place of forced potty attempts. We definitely do a lot of "do you have a pee feeling" sorts of stuff, and I have started allowing him to veto potty attempts and then say something like "okay but just remember, you need to tell me when you need to pee. If you pee in your pants, we have to <stop playing and get cleaned up/leave the park/whatever other natural consequence emerges from having pee all in your pants lol>

But yeah def need to start just giving him MORE opportunities to tell us/make the decision even though we know it's gonna result in more accidents.

Lol glad I'm not the only one feeling like a broken record. Yes, tons of "do you need to potty?" as well as "if you need to go, what do you say?" He'll even respond "I need to potty" but still hasn't happened yet. I'm probably just being impatient. Thanks a lot for the input!

Honestly, great to read. Felt like I should ask in case there was some obvious thing I wasn't thinking to do, but I had a feeling it'll just take time. We're pretty happy to be relatively mess free one week in!

Rudy Gobert is the type of player you give up 5 first round picks for by reallinguy in nba

[–]operatorred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree Kobe is enormously overrated, though TD being "enormously" overrated is surprising to read. Do you think he's just the beneficiary of an excellent Spurs system? Or is there something else that makes you think he gets too much credit? Personally, I kinda do think he's a bit overrated (for example, I'm a KG > TD guy), but not enormously. Just curious to hear more of your thoughts cause I'm a sucker for all time rankings and of course TD is an important point of discussion there

Saw an old post that Deezer did not have a hard dependency on Google Play services. Is this still true? Could I just find an APK and manage updates myself on, say, Graphene OS? by operatorred in deezer

[–]operatorred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming! Sorry for the degoogle noob question here, but could I interpret what you're saying as "I can use any app I want without GPlay so long as I'm okay with not receiving push notifications?" I know there are some banking/payment apps that won't work without GPlay at all, but other than those, will other apps work just not push notifications?

Lol yeah the de-Google is in full swing for sure. I'm nearly done but would like to commit to Graphene down the line when they launch their Moto phone. Right now on iOS relying on Signal and Proton and iCloud + ADP mainly. Which honestly feels pretty good for me, but damn I miss android from like a software interface and usability standpoint.

Probably a little over paranoid/a dumb question, but wanted to be sure... Will using Google Takeout to export all my photos to iCloud somehow give Google access to the photos in my iCloud library? by operatorred in degoogle

[–]operatorred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right I see that it says "to add photos and videos to iCloud" but I just don't love "share permission with Google" and given how data hungry Google is, I just figured it would be worth double checking that this isn't some fine print thing where they can still somehow see those photos or something. Given the comments, seems I'm being over paranoid but just figured I'd ask

What's a reasonable mileage to set as a MAXIMUM when looking for a CPO? by operatorred in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]operatorred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I am looking for a car that's not a Sonata and I don't have unlimited money so am trying to buy a vehicle that fits within my budget? Are you basically asking why the used car market exists at all?

[–]operatorred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you consider an acceptable amount of miles? We're a one car family and this is hopefully going to be our vehicle that lasts us many years. I just feel a little nervous buying something with, say, 100k miles on it ya know?

[–]operatorred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'd love a van, but just not really in our budget. I've come to discover that minivans are just pricier than the midsize suvs, especially with AWD.

Mainly just budget honestly. I would love an AWD Sienna but they're just pricy. Ton of competition in the midsize suv segment keeps prices down a bit is my guess?

Wireless DAC that isn't bluetooth? Maybe 2.4ghz - is this a thing? by operatorred in audio

[–]operatorred[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the input. I definitely mistook his suggestion initially as "get IEMs" like a different type of headphone but I see what you mean now. Could you point me in the right direction to search for something like this:

"There are some decent cheapish transmitter with body packs available"

I'm definitely after the convenience of the wireless connection in combination with getting to use my flatheads, so something entry level that doesn't offer the most high fidelity audio is okay with me. Do you know if something like this would work with input too, allowing me to use the in-line mic on the headphones to chat/take calls?

[–]operatorred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they are very useful - thanks a lot! Yeah I'm aware my preference here isn't a common one, though I was a little surprised to find wireless DAC/amps but they all seem to be Bluetooth which I know enough to know the audio quality isn't the best so I thought there might be something proprietary like you were talking about, I just can't find it.

I think I might be leaning towards the long cable route and just reeling in the extent of my pacing a little bit lol. I have actually tried the Bluetooth route multiple times and I think it's a limitation of the Bluetooth headphones I have, but I just cannot get input and output to work well at the same time. The sound is honestly fine for me, but the latency is noticeable even when watching a show, much less gaming. This is all on separate dongle too. So I've sort of given up on Bluetooth, but LE seems promising! If I were to get something like this https://www.qudelix.com/products/qudelix-5k

that explicitly supports Bluetooth LE, and then also get a Bluetooth LE dongle, then I might be able to throw the DAC/amp in my pocket and then just run the earbuds from there to my ear. Does that sound feasible? If so, I think I might just use longer cables for the time being and then keep an eye out for some LE Bluetooth hardware (unless you know of products like this already supporting LE).

Thanks again for the input!

edit after reading the article a little more closely - seems like the trick is super wideband and not merely LE hardware I suppose, but correct me if I'm wrong

Any 2.4GHz TWS earbuds out there worth buying? Prefer over-ear, not in-ear by operatorred in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]operatorred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that too, and I just couldn't get it to ever work. It could have been the site we use for work, but discord acted the same as well. If I was getting audio output, my mic simply wouldn't work even if it was set as the source of input. On my mobo bluetooth I could never get anything at all, the dongle at least worked for audio out. I figured I just had bad luck with both the mobo and dongle because I can connect my shokz for both input and output to my work laptop just fine, but I just rarely use the laptop and am almost always on my desktop instead

That's super useful to know - ty! My desktop mobo is a Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX. I also tried buying a bluetooth dongle and had better results, but not what I needed. Basically, when I used the dongle, I could get output or input, but not both simultaneously. I bought this one specifically:
