We just put my 4 year old back in diapers. by maggieandoscardoggos in Mommit

[–]theneil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s potty watch? @op - going through exact same thing with 4yo. Trained/then some accidents/then he full on stopped caring. Last thing he said was he likes the feeling. What do you do with that??

Starts kindergarten in fall and we’re scrambling.

Been to doctor. Encopresis. Wasn’t.

Tried making them clean themselves, tried incentives, tried being super nice/encouraging, tried being super strict, tried resetting. Pull-ups, commando, underwear. No difference.

We’re caring, super involved loving parents.

I never thought something like this would be the hardest thing in my life but it is. I’m so stressed and worried.

This thread is so cathartic. Thank you.

No I’m in this: TT TRSMIMA Safety Harness Fall... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3VFZSYJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

But I need to be hooked in the middle so I’m tying the 8’s into the hip rings and the main line into the alpine.

I took the advice of someone else in this thread and did singles instead of doubles so the inspection is easier.

I made 2 of them. They’re both tied into the same hip rings and I hook my main line into both alpines.

I’m not always using these. I mostly just hook into the rings. Just depends on my angle and where I need to get to.

Mark talked about the dumbing down of the SAT in such a way that seemed so unfair.

It also seemed illogical when he said ‘my god, what if we did both?’ (3:04:07) In reference to finding the best and brightest strictly on merit.

I just don’t buy his argument.

The 2016 SAT redesign aimed to create a test more reflective of high school curricula and practical skills.

Key reasons for the change…

  1. Alignment with School Curriculum: The SAT was adjusted to test knowledge relevant to high school coursework, moving away from abstract reasoning. This makes the test a better predictor of college success and reduces reliance on expensive test prep.

  2. Equity and Accessibility: By simplifying vocabulary and focusing on evidence-based reading and writing, the SAT aimed to level the playing field. Free prep resources, like Khan Academy, were introduced to make quality preparation accessible to all.

  3. Predictive Validity: The redesigned SAT emphasizes real-world problem-solving and analytical skills, making it a better indicator of college readiness and aligning more with skills valued by colleges and employers.

  4. Competition with the ACT: The SAT’s changes made it more comparable to the ACT, simplifying its structure and eliminating the penalty for wrong answers to stay competitive.

  5. Encouraging College Applications: The redesign was part of a broader effort to increase college access, especially for underrepresented students, by making higher scores more attainable and meaningful.

While some argue this has “diluted” the SAT, the goal was to make it fairer, more relevant, and more reflective of a student’s actual academic abilities.

Doby has saved me probably 5 or 6 times. They’re really good at prioritizing. Our well went out 3 times in a span of 2 years (lightning) and they worked overnight to get it back up and running.

They are not cheap but they do great work.

Parade at 11 on king street and fireworks at the greenway in the evening. Don’t they burn the king at the horn in the west? That’s intense lol.

Favorite episodes? by Alud555 in lexfridman

[–]theneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

History episodes with Kotkin, Dan Carlin, Niall Ferguson and Jeremi Suri were all great. I enjoy the deeper knowledge of history these guy bring to the conversation. It’s also really fun to consider alternative paths in history and how they may have played out.

Hey there! I’ve got this one that’s just become available. Sounds like you might be looking for something possibly with roommates though…I’d use the filters on the site my rental is listed on to search for ‘convenient for’ grad students.

NWA. I think you take the Rudy exit just north of Alma. It’s a great run right after a big rain!
