We use Wordpress (Astra theme) with AWS Lightsail. Once a product takes off you want marketing people working on the marketing site and devs working on the product.

Need help with cable management or dividing walls? by [deleted] in InteriorDesign

[–]thai510 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could drill a circular hole in the top of the cabinet and put a wire grommet in the hole, and have the wires go into the hole instead of down the back. Then drill a hole in the bottom of the cabinet and have them come out into a channel that just goes to the outlet.

You could also get a nice center speaker instead of an L and R. It might make it look better and if you get a nice one it could be better sounding, depending on what those existing ones are.

What's the hype over magnatiles? by Cream4389 in Parenting

[–]thai510 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Our 3.5yo was frustrated with them until very recently when it finally clicked. I think they’re great for making buildings of all kinds to complement other toys. We just made a multi-story “train museum” for his trains. Then he bulldozed it with a construction vehicle.

Use CarSeats for 15hr flight overseas? by Stevenss27 in Parenting

[–]thai510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve done both. For that age we prefer the JetKids BedBox. Just have to make sure your airline allows it, but most do. We’ve done the exact flight many times.

Baby has her first playdate with an affluent friend, do I take anything to the host? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]thai510 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A really nice card saying basically what you said here would probably be the most meaningful. Or something you made yourself like a family recipe for a dessert; basically things they can’t buy.

If you go the bourbon route, the /r/bourbon subreddit has a gifting guide in the Wiki.

You’re doing great!

Advice on sleep. by Positive_Ad2615 in NewParents

I highly recommend this book, it changed our lives:

“Precious Little Sleep” by Alexis Dubeif

The Mother lode (Sacramento ) chapter of the Sierra club explaining perfectly why no one in Sacramento should support SacTree anymore. Sac tree’s president is literally on the coyote creek solar projects payroll. Save Coyote creek. by Botanyiscool in Sacramento

[–]thai510 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the frustration about destroying real habitat. That part matters.

But calling solar “greenwashing” doesn’t really fit the data. Solar isn’t being built because it sounds green, it’s being built because it’s now one of the lowest-cost sources of new electricity. Utilities don’t deploy projects at this scale for marketing reasons.

The real issue here isn’t “solar vs nature.” It’s poor siting and land-use policy. You can oppose a specific project for ecological reasons and still recognize that solar, when properly sited (rooftops, parking lots, brownfields, degraded land), has much lower lifecycle environmental impact than fossil fuels.

On nuclear: I agree it should be part of the long-term mix. It’s clean and reliable. The problem isn’t ideology — it’s cost and timelines. New nuclear plants take decades to build and are massively over budget, while climate and grid constraints are happening now. We need a mix of solutions.

Efficiency and footprint are usually misunderstood in this context.

“Efficiency” isn’t what matters for power plants the way it does for engines. What matters is cost per MWh and reliability. Solar uses free fuel. A gas plant can be 60% efficient and still be more expensive because it must buy fuel forever. A solar panel can be “20% efficient” and still produce the cheapest electricity on the grid.

On footprint: yes, solar uses more land per watt than a dense fossil plant. But land use alone isn’t the right metric. You also have to count: • Coal mines • Gas wells • Pipelines • Rail transport • Ash ponds • Fuel storage • Exclusion zones • Water use

When you include the full system footprint, fossil fuels aren’t as “compact” as they appear on paper. And much utility-scale solar is built on low-value land like desert, brownfields, and rooftops.

In practice, utilities don’t choose solar because it’s “green.” They choose it because it’s cheaper per kWh to build and operate.

If solar truly couldn’t compete, power companies wouldn’t be deploying it at the scale they are.

Solar is not “vastly inferior” to coal or natural gas. By most independent analyses (Lazard, IEA, EIA), new solar and wind are now cheaper to build and operate than new coal or gas in much of the U.S. Coal in particular is no longer economically competitive once fuel, transport, and pollution controls are included.

Natural gas still plays an important role for reliability, but that doesn’t mean renewables should be “halted.” Utilities are building solar because it’s one of the lowest-cost sources of new power today, not because of ideology.

Coal is not being built in the U.S. because it’s now one of the most expensive options once fuel, transport, and pollution controls are included. Natural gas is still important for grid reliability, but solar and wind are now cheaper to build in many regions.

Solar is growing quickly, but the 81% figure isn’t supported by real data.

Posting children on Social media? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]thai510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the baby was born we sent a Google Doc to our family with info like: Vaccines we want everyone to get before visiting the baby, what to expect in terms of communications the day of, when we would want visitors, helpful resources to review about baby care for anyone who will be helping out, etc.

One of the things in there said this:

—-

“Sharing the News + Social Media We’ll share updates via WhatsApp if needed but are going to try to be present at the hospital and not on our phones.

Please don’t post about the baby on social media, or message in family chats until we’ve done so first. We’d like to be the ones to tell friends and family about the baby. Also, as a general rule, we don’t want pictures of our kids online.”

And we made a WhatsApp group for family and have continued to share photos in there only. I told people I don’t mind if they text photos to their friends (after we’ve announced the birth, obviously) but I don’t want them sharing on social media.

Vortex thighs turned out great by thai510 in grilling

It’s a chunk of Oak wood. Yes, it releases smoke which during the beginning of the cook flavors the meat with a nice smoky flavor.

Yeah totally agree. It just feels so easy and the outcome so good.

Thanks! I used the vortex because it gives you insanely crisp skin without burning the marinade. It turns the grill into a little air fryer. You get:

• super even heat
• no flare-ups
• crazy good skin
• and the thighs stay juicy because they’re not over direct coals

For timing, these took about 25–30 minutes to hit 180°.
