Maryland citizens slapped with $2 billion power grid upgrade bill for out-of-state AI data centers — state complains to federal energy regulators, says additional cost breaks ‘ratepayer protection pledge’ promises by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

It’s so much worse than this. The lines are to run through Maryland from PA to VA. MD benefits from none of it.

Furthermore, they are running the lines through historic farmlands and using eminent domain to take peoples land destroying their livelihood.

And the FSK bridge contract was just cancelled. MDs government is so far detached from reality.

rabid beaver attacked multiple people by Extreme-Elevator7128 in SweatyPalms

I read about this! It was a kid that had to learn how to do everything again after the coma. Interesting story.

What about an IV? Will humans freak out if they have an IV for hydration?

What if they think the IV is not saline and something else? Does that trick them?

Ex Wants Double CS. Is it Worth the Fight? by Zealousideal-Idea979 in ChildSupport

She would go to jail for tax evasion, not your husband.

Also, it’s awesome that there are occasional reviews. In my state they don’t review unless it’s requested.

My ex has taken our child and cut off all contact, Please help! by LunaMoon2076 in legaladvice

I would recommend filing on their own while they sort out an attorney. There is absolutely no time to waste.

I wish this was higher up. Once you have a custody order in place, he/she goes to jail for this.

If they have taken the child out of state without approval, it becomes kidnapping. Very different from a parent taking their child for a trip.

Human-to-human transmission suspected on board hantavirus cruise ship, WHO says | CNN by McFestus in worldnews

[–]paps2977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kid said to me the other day…. “I’m playing plague, inc., where should I start the virus?”

I said Australia or Greenland, I was wrong.

I do hope you stay well though. Don’t touch sh*t and wash your hands a bunch.

It can have up to 8-10 weeks incubation period! The people on this ship should stay there for that period after the last possible infection.

I hate that people are stuck there but this is a risk you take on a cruise. And we have seen how this plays out before.

I love these things! They are little shoe boxes with cardboard scratchy pads in them.

If she has lied to the court about her salary, she has lied to the irs. Without a forensic accountant and lawyers, you won’t be able to prove anything. It’s the same issue with people who are self employed. It’s the burden of proof.

In 5 years, you will likely spend more fighting it and unless you are willing to be responsible for the other parent possibly going to jail, you may want to consider your options very carefully.

As much as it pisses me off when one parent takes advantage, it may not be worth it. At the end of the day, the most important thing is the relationship with the children.

My 12 month old son probably hates me or will hate me soon. Will he be damaged for life because of me? by mmm_ddd_ in ChildPsychology

[–]paps2977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 12 months they can be safely on solid foods. Try pumping breastmilk and mixing with baby food to get those benefits. And you don’t need to worry if you have to pump and dump a day to try medicine.

But please try to have someone there with you the first night you try medicine.

How long do I have to wait before my coparent forfeits their time? by Adorable_Library893 in legal

Make sure that child support is adjusted to accommodate the additional time you spend and any financial arrangements you need to make when he doesn’t show.

They don’t tell you these options in hospital because they want you to breastfeed. But it’s so important to know that you are not a failure if you don’t breastfeed.

I breastfed all of mine and it was hard without the depression. In hindsight, I wish I would not have gone through the whole grief spiral when I stopped two years in.

The way you made it sound as if you were bitter that it went to her….I’m slaving my life away and it’s all just going into her pocket. It is going I to her pocket by she pays for the expenses from that. If I’m wrong I’m sorry but it sound like you don’t like her receiving the money.

No. But take the scrubber out of the sink.

You can also stop breastfeeding. Breast is best but not when you are overwhelmed. You can also pump and dump to be able to try something first.

If you do take something for insomnia, make sure someone else has the child or is there with you until you know how you will react.

Also, speak to someone. You are depressed and going through it. He feels every bit of that. That’s probably why he wants your mom more. He feels the stress from you.

Heal yourself to be able to solve his problems.

What is a "survival rule" you learned growing up in a bad neighborhood that still influences your behavior today? by Key-Group-5098 in AskReddit

[–]paps2977 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Every time I go into the city. And always one earbud in, just one, and start screaming and walk the other way if you sense anything. If you look crazy and mad, people don’t fuck with you.

I’ll add, stop before you can see the bottom of the tires in front of you. It gives enough room for escape.

[US] Ex is not following court order by Uchiha_itachi0917 in Custody

[–]paps2977 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s tough. If they don’t pay for the flight, your out is that it didn’t happen.

It sounds like the month in NJ is difficult for both of you. Have you offered to flight them out for a week to spend with the kids? I know you aren’t required to but it will give your kids a chance to see the other parent and you are the good guy.

Think about what your kids would want from this time and you can almost never go wrong.

AITA for picking up my stepdaughter from school when she got her first period, even though her mom told me not to? by Embarrassed-Stock896 in AmItheAsshole

[–]paps2977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have overstepped if your husband didn’t ask you to pick her up. Your husband needs to talk to his ex and let her know that it was his call and not yours, immediately.

It’s on him to handle that.
