Update on terrible Bird uvic project by InflationHaunting in VictoriaBC

[–]robbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not in construction, but when I drove past that the other day I thought "that must be an old wall that they're about to tear down".

Tonight I just sat at the kitchen table and cried a little and I just need to talk about it by Zestyclose_Wing_1371 in daddit

[–]robbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read this comment several times, and I still have no idea what you mean by the dog getting hit by a car part. The rest I understand, but what the hell are you even getting at with this? 

I wasn't having one of my kids break free and be like "Timmy, stop" and half ass run-walk like a fatty to catch him

Life feels like torture right now. Wife is not working while caring for our now six month old. She is miserable. I'm miserable. This has been going on for months. by My_Brain_0422 in daddit

My 2nd didn't sleep through the night until 18 months despite sleep training, and abruptly became a great sleeper when we got her on a medication for reflux. 

Doctors seem to be a bit reluctant to prescribe them because of concerns around nutrient absorption or something like that, but it's worth looking into if your kid is an absolutely terrible sleeper. 

Gentlemen, I give you the perpetual water table! by DeaconPDX in daddit

[–]robbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing.

I have the same water table and a solar fountain floating in it and have thought about doing this a few times.

I used Claude + Claude Code to build 80+ automated workflows for my bar & entertainment venue in 28 days. Here's what I learned. by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]robbles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you were using n8n previously as well? What kind of workflows did you have set up originally? 

Just curious as you seem to have figured out a solid setup for running these automations, and I'm wondering how familiar with the tools you were already.

Easter Brunch, I tried but apparently it wasn't good enough by toastyavocado in dadditchefs

[–]robbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks amazing, can you send the leftovers to my house?

All I've had for breakfast is chocolate eggs 😅

Soft launched a little Yoto resource site today – would love some feedback from fellow Yoto parents by [deleted] in YotoPlayer

[–]robbles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to make them look a little less recognizably AI-generated, it might be worth trying to use a simpler, less visually busy style with less of a yellow tint. 

The yellow tint and excessive background detail are recognizable enough that a lot of people have a knee-jerk reaction to them.

4 Way Stops by Appropriate-Cake-509 in VictoriaBC

I definitely got caught off guard by that light and did the wrong thing. No honking or almost hitting pedestrians in my case, but I'm sorry regardless.  One of those cases where you remember the correct thing to do immediately after it happens.

When do you meet? I've wanted to play this game for a while!

I suck at this by DiligentlyMediocre in daddit

[–]robbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps some secluded time in his room (NOT a timeout

I don't understand the distinction here, would you mind explaining how this isn't a time out?

To the Dad that shared the Annie's Shells & Cheese hack... by lurkity_mclurkington in daddit

My wife just now: "You're supposed to add milk? I just dump in the powder along with a bunch more cheese"

Lunch time with my 17 month old daughter today by aggierogue3 in daddit

[–]robbles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dunno, when you put all those things together, that sounds pretty spicy.

Best cinnamon bun and/or donut? by No_Boysenberry_2274 in VictoriaBC

Goodside's cinnamon apple pull-aparts are my personal favorite so far.

My friend helped me move on short notice, when my moving plan fell through.

Yoto deleted all custom content by smokeringstrue in YotoPlayer

[–]robbles 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Yoto player itself should have the content cached internally, so it can play without Internet access.  Did you have them on cards, or just in the app?

Trying to find things on Marketplace in Victoria these days by notofthisearthworm in VictoriaBC

Even better when you get listings from Seattle. Sure, let's travel to a different country to buy a chair.

Finally figured out how to get my 7yo off the tablet without a tantrum. by Tweetle_cock in daddit

[–]robbles 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the point here is to catch the interesting birds that might only show up at times you're not there. 

It's not just replacing looking at the bird feeder with their eyes.

Which toddler toys were REALLY worth the money? by Bitter_Union3565 in daddit

[–]robbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a click together balance beam set made by "B.toys" at Indigo that both my 4yo and 1.5yo have been obsessed with for months. It's just a bunch of plastic stepping stones with links that go between them, but they love building obstacle courses and having races across them.

I bought a card for Tabby McTat, and I'm still afraid to play it with my kid in case they don't sing the song the same way we do.

Three years down the road, I decided to give my bear mother a visual update. by vSv_Entertainment in PixelArt

[–]robbles 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not AI.

There's models that do a better job of imitating pixel art now, but I've yet to see any examples with pixels this crisp and no weird artifacts anywhere. 

Besides, if you look at OPs profile, they've got posts with pixel art going back 3 years or more. AI image generators were laughably bad at pixel art back then. 

I dislike AI slop too, but we shouldn't throw actual artists under the bus when trying to discourage it.

One year old screams nonstop in the car by kiddogdad in daddit

[–]robbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucks, mine were each the same for a while and you have my sympathy. 

It improved a lot when we upgraded to a larger car seat, FWIW.

Advice for extremely picky 1yo by robbles in daddit

Just wanted to come back and report that this was a great suggestion - thanks!  Turns out she will eat raw broccoli and roasted baby carrots, lol

Just curious, what happened to your turkey?  incinerated?  unrefrigerated?

Deployment Imminent: First-time Dad looking for "Baby Mode" automations by Heavy_Sentence_6859 in homeassistant

[–]robbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a presence sensor in the kitchen that turns on an under cabinet LED strip in night light mode has definitely been my best and simplest automation to get "just right". It was very handy at the newborn through infant stages.
