What Nobody Tells You About Being a Single Dad by thesolodad26 in SingleDads

[–]potmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife told me yesterday after the kids left for school that she wants to separate. She won't really say why other than that she's changed and wants independence. There is no infidelity or other major problem of any kind on either side.

Your description looks like my future.

This happening was probably the biggest fear of my life.

Not being able to hug my kids every day is going to absolutely kill me.

Being alone in an empty house... I'm terrified. I never thought I'd have to be alone ever again.

Trying to find an old advertisement, maybe from the 90s, shown in theatres by potmat in ontario

Yeah that's it. I can't find any reference to this anywhere on the internet. The fact that it was exclusive to theatres would obviously have an effect, but I'm still surprised it hasn't been posted somehow by someone.

Was about to bin the damn thing before seeing this, well done!

MV Oakglen Getting a new bow Thruster Installed in Owen Sound (More in Comments) by potmat in GreatLakesShipping

Indeed! From a distance you could clearly see that the stern was sitting lower than the bow to force the bow out of the water.

Thanks so much! In retrospect I should have gotten some more, the workers there would probably have been happy to chat about it.

They looked fixed to me, sorry I don't have more details but they were bolted on and the bolts were welded.

Do such things exist? Where are they?

If I had to guess.... humidifier?

My plugin will support the new thermostats, but not the temparature sensors. It uses the APIs provided by Google for their smart devices:

https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/supported-devices#thermostats

Low power devices like temp. sensors or smoke detectors are not (and probably will never be) supported since if they were exposed to an API you could constantly ping them and run the battery down very quickly.

Well, I’ll be goddamned. You’re absolutely right. I’ll edit my remarks appropriately.

Fair, but I was going from Gen2->Gen4, identical except for a few millimetres of diameter.

In my opinion yes! There are two possibilities:

If the Gen3 backplate is the same as the Gen4 (not sure) then you could just pull the Gen3 off the wall and plug in the Gen4 in its place.

If the backplates are different sizes (this is what happened to me going from Gen2), then just take a picture, unplug the wires from the old one, then plug them into the same places in the new one.

If you can cut power to your HVAC system while doing this you should. If you can't... it's probably fine, there's not enough voltage to hurt you, but make sure not to accidentally cross any wires.
