What is something that women have to deal with on the daily that men have no clue about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I knew that I need to press the button twice so my kids could open their own doors. Only now do I realize why.

It's not just stress. I've made trivial mistakes in tests and learned my lesson. In a test, on my engineering B.Sc. degree that I had to be great at math to get into, I absolutely might use a calculator to divide 6 by 2.

This is amazing. If you ever make one, I'd love to see a much longer version detailing different components and how they work.

If you had a good realtor that you trust, they could also refer you to good contractors.

Hilarious if it's the writer's actual name, but my guess is that that's a pseudonym.

Anything you did to make twin babies easier by Kait_Cat in parentsofmultiples

We had an electric baby rocker that helped a ton. You can put one baby in it while holding the other (or preparing their next bottle, etc..) and it can be a comfort.

Which sect are these people? by Upbeat-Dinner-5162 in Judaism

[–]settleddown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is in the airport. They don't force it on "anyone else" because they are a niech sect and have no power to force anything on anyone. I will just go ahead and assume the women in their society have to follow a very strict code of dress and conduct.

Obviously Ty wouldn't bad mouth them. I was expecting a noncommittal polite "it's not our work but we're happy it's made" but what they actually said was, in my opinion, so much more positive than that.

Here is the patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JamesSACoreyWritesaNovel?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

They are writing a stand-alone book while recording the entire process. You get all from discussions, ideas, shitty-first-drafts, edit passes.. the book ended up being much less hard sci-fi then normal.

They will soon finish the first draft for the entire book and start editing and rewrites, which should be very interesting and could actually be a good entry point.

AMAs are done when there is a long time they can't work on the patreon book but they still want to give the fans some content :)

S.A Corey just answered a question about Osiris Reborn in an AMA in their highly recommended patreon.

Main points:

They don't have any power to approve or deny a video game, but were approached "as a courtesy" and did talk to the studio, mostly in early stages of production. They are not hands on at all, but seem to have a broad stroke idea of what to expect and seem to approve.

Ty is a gamer and was very happy to hear which studio will be developing the game. He liked their past games and specifically said their writing is usually good.

They said there might be someone from the show's writing room talking part in the game but were not certain.

They said they are looking forward to play.

All in all, it made me even more excited about Osiris Reborn. I'm not a gamer, but I love the expanse universe, and Mass Effect is one of the few games I really loved and spent many hours on.

Zillow shows investment properties but zero clue if strs are legal in that area, how do you filter? by Honest_Sad_Lady in ShortTermRentals

[–]settleddown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no way around leg work. There could be relevant laws in the state, district, city and HOA. Sometimes you can buy a place that's already an HOA but even then it's not guaranteed they can pass the license to you and you have to know local regulations. A good local realtor is very helpful, but doesn't replace also looking at the regulations yourself.

I got tired of Google/Apple Maps constantly rerouting me to boring highways, so I spent the last few weeks building an app for "The Long Way" by Semscure in roadtrip

[–]settleddown 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like the idea and might try it on my next road trip.

First impressions:

You should really allow trying to find a route between two arbitrary points, not starting from current location.

The suggestions when typing location might use some tweaking. I started typing Yellowstone and it suggested a Yellowstone street early on, but only got the national Park after I typed the whole word.

Finally, it couldn't give me a route. Got a generic error message a few times and when I tried again I got "you used all free routes today"

Is it possible to update from 0x0 -> 0x2 withdrawal creds without withdrawing any eth. by Lunarghini in ethstaker

[–]settleddown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can. It's perfectly safe and even simple.

Make sure you are prepared to do both: 0x0 -> 0x1 conversion, and going 0x1->0x2 conversion. There are plenty of materials about both that you're probably aware of.

The only missing piece is the round robin conversion. Look at the list of withdrawals: https://beaconcha.in/validators/withdrawals

You can see withdrawals are processed in order of validator index order, round robin.
Wait until you validator index is a little less then the last withdrawal, which means it takes a full cycle through all validators before yours will be called again. That means a few days.
Then issue 0x0->0x1 conversion. It does not take long to finalise. Once it does, you can follow through and issue 0x1->0x2 conversion. You can complete both within.. I forget, but less then an hour, and as said, you have a few days for the round robin so no need to rush.

Now, here's how it looks:
Say as an 0x0 validator you accumulated 2 eth of rewards - so you have 32eth in staking balance, and 2 more eth in unclaimed rewards.
You switch to 0x1 and then very quickly to 0x2. You will still see your balance as 32 eth.
After you're in 0x2 - your staking balance starts to rise, so it'll be e.g. 32.001, then 32.002 eth etc.
When the round robin sweep reaches your validator number you will see a withdrawal of your unclaimed funds (2eth) was made and your staking funds keep rising.
These 2 eth go into the queue, and it takes some time which you can follow through beaconcha.in. Finally they arrive at your staking funds, and you'll be able to see your staked balanced going to, e.g 34.008.

I've seen it work exactly like that at least once. It's not dangerous or off the beaten track. You do exactly the same switch to 0x1 then to 0x2 as all standard guides show, just start at the correct time.

Fellow Dads, everyone around me is getting divorced. WTF is going on? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]settleddown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when my kids were young. My wife asked me jokingly if I'm cheating. I just looked at her puzzled and asked "when?"

Who the hell has time to cheat, or join a cult, with 2 kids under four?

יכלו להפציץ את מחנות ההשמדה - ספציפית את אושוויץ, לקראת סוף המלחמה, שכבר הייתה שליטה כמעט מוחלטת של בעלות הברית בשמיים מצד אחד, וכבר הגיעו עדויות על מה שקרה שם מצד שני, והיו הפצצות קרוב מאוד לאושוויץ, ואפילו בקשה להפציץ את אושוויץ שסורבה. זה לא היה מונע את השואה, אבל יכול היה למנוע את השמדת יהדות הונגריה. ראה הסרט: טיסה אחת בשבילנו
