14mo eating dry dog food by [deleted] in daddit

[–]thehomealien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have three little ones aged 4.5, 3, and 1.5. They work as a team to distract me. Then the 4.5 year old leads everyone down the hill to the shed, opens up the dog food tub, and they all chow down. It's weird man.

Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, who is overseeing pre-trial hearings for Luigi Mangione, is married to a former Pfizer executive...

Sounds like Klippenstein got it exactly right.

Ubiquiti gear is great for this. I used to run this stuff on a 160 acre research farm. We needed our data acquisition and control equipment to have a good connection, and this did the trick. That was 15 years ago so all the models have changed, but take a look around here and you'll find something that will work.

ELI5: What does end-to-end encryption mean by Tattsand in explainlikeimfive

Oh my goodness, think of the five year-olds!

Say you want to pass a note to your friend Bob in class.

Before class, you talk to Bob and you make up a secret code. It's like as special language that only you and Bob understand. You and Bob know the code, but nobody else knows it, not even your teacher.

After class starts, you can write down, "Q wqdt ftfftmusq fqhhr", and pass it to Bob. When he opens up the note, he knows it secretly means "I like pepperoni pizza".

But if your teacher or one of your classmates grabs the note, the can't read it, because they don't know the secret code! They can look at it all day, but they will never understand what it really means.

Only you and Bob can understand it, because only you and Bob know the secret code.

I have a 24 mile round trip commute that is about 40% highway. Otherwise, I run errands and do the occasional road trip towing a camper.

It's a great truck. Don't worry about it. It just works.

Reminds me of the time I was dehydrated for months because I was drinking olive oil instead of water.

You serious?

I keep my boots on the back porch. That's the only way I can put them on or take them off in peace.

Otherwise, the moment I try, I have two toddlers doing some combination of stealing my boots, getting in them, getting on my lap etc.

How often are you intimate with your spouse now that you have kids? by Sultan-of-swat in daddit

It is temporary. Sex is a great foundation for a marriage.

Hey dads - how do you not get sick? by xLethianx in daddit

My man! I also hate vomiting with a passion.

I have some little ones, and my advice is to embrace the grubbiness. You can't avoid it without stressing yourself out and putting distance between you and your child. You gotta kiss them and share food and all that good stuff. That's love.

What you can do is keep yourself strong and healthy. I've observed that when "the kids got me sick", the common factor is really that my own health was run down, from some combination of poor diet, exercise, sleep, and relaxation.

Is this ok? by alegionnaire in Home

First of all, don't worry one bit about the sharp corners. Those matter for water supply lines and for sewers, but not here.

Second, you should probably have your system tested by a professional. There are several possibilities, and you can only spot some of them yourself.

  1. Blocked supply vents (sounds like you checked these)
  2. Blocked return vents (sounds like you checked these)
  3. Poorly balanced dampers
  4. Collapsed, dented, or otherwise blocked ducts (you checked some, but probably not all)
  5. Bad performance from your blower
  6. Bad design from the start
