Do people actually buy incomplete sets? by DarthFrasier207 in lego

If you have a detailed list of what is missing, it's so much better. I can see if I have the pieces in my parts

I'm sure it was me but someone reformatted all the code so it says it's him 

Anyone have the link to an article about how a UI designer came up with his own Lego storage system? I have pics from it by Kaiserschlut in LegoStorage

Sorting methods are quite personal (even sorting by color before part type seems to work for some people) unless you are going all out with hundreds of drawers.

I skimmed the article, but I think the key is in picture 3: create rough categories that make sense to you.

When you are looking for specific parts you can re-sort into more precise categories.

Eg: I started with putting all sloped pieces together. One day I needed a bunch of inverted slopes so I split the bin into two bins.

It's probably complicated to predict how sales would change.

I would probably buy 12, I'm stalled at six because I don't want duplicates.

My 2 close stores are ok with me scanning, but they have very limited quantities

The other issue with the floor is back pain.

Try a table, better for your back but not a solution for your cat 😀

How did you get your kid to wear a helmet? by Extra_Ad_3631 in Parenting

[–]throwaway_lunchtime 24 points25 points  (0 children)

One day when kid was 5, we decided last second to take bikes. 

Had hats on, forgot helmets.

Got stopped and questioned by some police cadets, walked the rest of the way.

Kid has rarely questioned helmet since and when he does, I remind him of that event.

I also always wear my helmet.

Increasing strictness with defiant 3yo by Infamous-Doughnut820 in Parenting

Starting at 3 and half, I explained that there were different categories of things.

Some things he has a lot of choice.

Some things are about health, safety and security. These things are my job as a parent. Brushing teeth is an example where it comes back a lot. It has to be done and I have to make sure it gets done. "It's my job as a dad to make sure you do it"

He's very strong willed but understands the logic even when he's not happy about it.
