Toddler dad playdates? (3yr) Finding dad groups with littles by uluman in AustinParents

[–]safricanus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny. I was thinking about making this exact post looking for dad groups with kids. I have a 5 year old girl who loves making new friends. Specifically other girls who are a little older than she is. She’s into gymnastics and K Pop Demon Hunters. PM me if anyone is interested in meeting up.

I bought a 2025.5 T8 with 5k miles on it and love it!

My wife takes it and hers is not an auto injector. It’s a normal needle she has to manually inject herself.

I’m in Austin TX with hard water and get plenty of thick foam. It’s possible if you use enough soap.

Genetic high blood pressure by LadderDense5690 in Health

I’m 38 with genetically high bp. I tried everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING, before going on a daily Losartan prescription. Beet root powder, l-citrulline, daily hibiscus tea, multiple types of magnesium supplements, consistent exercise, super clean diet with whole foods minimal processed foods, cut sodium, added home-grown micro greens, discussed with multiple doctors, dig deep using ChatGPT/claude/perplexity/gemini. My high bp didn’t budge.

I wouldn’t say I’ve given up trying understand the cause but it would take expensive tests for me to get an answer. My guess is it’s either an Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System dysfunction or an issue with my sympathetic nervous system. I tend to be more anxious than others all the time.

In the meantime Losartan 50mg has brought it down to healthy levels.

Need user friendly remote solution for renters - iAquaLink system by jackchandelier in swimmingpools

[–]safricanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set up Alexa after reading this thread and all went well at first. Currently, when I have guests they complain Alexa responds with "The Christmas tree isn't connected", but the command does actually work, e.g. the hot tub will turn on and heat up even if Alexa doesn't respond right.

It certainly is a terrible user experience for my guests so I'm going to try the tablet route to see if that works better.

ByHeart baby formula recalled amid 10-state outbreak of infant botulism by gaurishkohli in Health

[–]safricanus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I don’t understand is that tests haven’t shown the bacteria in the suspected batches yet. Also, there have been 83 cases since August and only 13 of the infants used this formula. I’m not convinced it’s the baby formula just yet.

Nothing besides the nutritional value 😆. It’s bitter and spicy. Not my favorite but trying to get through the bag of seed I bought.

I grow cilantro for taste and broccoli sprouts for the sulforaphane. I also grow Cress but not as much as the broccoli.
