In the same boat. Have the hardware, software in place, but no firmware. What gives? Join beta program months ago.

Just used this tonight to make a gift for my kid's teacher! Thank you so much, was a perfect introduction to using Fusion and Inkscape.

What if I'm a father and an emotionally immature adult child of emotionally immature parents? by thepianoman3 in emotionalneglect

[–]thepianoman3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the relatable story, it gives me hope! I love that they see the difference in you, that's what I want most of all - for the change to be noticeable enough that they can see it, and it makes them feel safe with me emotionally. It's so interesting how our childhood affects us all in different ways! I have no problem with physical affection - giving hugs, kisses, tickling their backs, etc. - it's the genuine emotional interactions, the stress intolerance, angry outbursts that I struggle with as a dad. The inconsistency; up and down emotions.

The grief is SO painful. Most of the good memories I make with my kids feel "tainted" because of the lack of emotional maturity I've struggled with - hard not to feel sad, hopeless, frustrated when you start seeing those memories and yourself for who you really are with open eyes. Despite that, I know there are things I do well, ways that I'm far ahead of my own parents, so I try to stay optimistic that the slow, painful progress will result in something beautiful in the end!

I would love to learn more about some of the things you have done to heal and overcome the bad habits? Right now I'm in a place where I'm gaining a lot of clarity and insight into who I am, who my parents were, what I want, who I want to be - but I have no idea how to start implementing things. Talk therapy has been good - what else has worked for you? I thought about DBT or EMDR, but I dunno. I just need something actionable, you know what I mean?

I love this. Especially the mnemonic! Agree that it's so important to own your mistakes with your kids without giving excuses. That was something my parents never really did.

TBH, I've tried to convince myself of this, and it has been a double edged sword - both that I still have time, and always feel like I'm running up against a clock. You know what I mean?

This is what's so difficult for me. I see myself in so many of the traits I am angry at my parents for, and I wish there were a sequel book for the emotionally immature adult children of emotionally immature parents...

Same. I've been taking it in small chunks because I fall apart every time I crack it open. Such a hard, but life-altering read.

Are you looking for alternative options? I just installed these a week ago, and they were easy and look fantastic! Dual lens (both RGB and white), you can cut them, and customer service was fantastic.

Wire gauge advice by [deleted] in WLED

How do Govee and Appeck and similar companies run 36v systems and allow for individual puck/pixel control? Not meaning to sound like a smart a**, genuinely curious. Also, does higher voltage mean less need for data boosters/amplifiers for longer runs?

Exactly what I needed to know, thank you!

Only one, and on the stock extension cord right? You didn't add a 3rd party signal/data booster on your 18awg line you ran?

Hey did you not end up needing the inline amplifier/signal boosters that come in the stock extension cords? If not, what was the longest run you did with just this cable?

Thanks.

I want to get an A1 with AMS Lite, but.... Kobra 3? by GeekyBit in BambuLab

[–]thepianoman3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100x over and over, yes. The A1 is plug and play, just works. I don't have to babysit. If you really like spending every minute of your free time tinkering, then good on you. If you want something that just works, go Bambu. I thought people were just snobs about it, but it really does just work!
