I don’t give money to panhandlers because I don’t like being solicited. (Also why I don’t buy things at my door, or via telemarketing) however I do support the idea of programs distributing funds directly to those in need.

We’ve got a 3 year age difference between our two kids. When the eldest stopped needing naps we said that he didn’t have to nap but that it WAS quiet time so he could do puzzles or look at a book, or colour.

Obviously your options there are a little limited by the age.

Kind of a side note but:

Kids are expert negotiators/ manipulators, so they will push you to your absolute limit if it gets them what they want. The reason they tantrum is because it gets them what they want. It will take many unsuccessful tantrums before they learn that tantrums don’t work. Make the best way for them to get what they want, something other than a tantrum.

I think a reset is in order. I would try a few days with no nap to try to get the night bed time more sane. Then introduce quiet time. Maybe say “I’ll read you 3 books, then it’s quiet time”. They don’t need to have their eyes closed, just lie quietly in bed, it doesn’t need to be for very long, just introduce it as something that’s not a big burden but is non-negotiable.

Good luck, it’s not easy.

I’d probably start designing and building a rolling ball clock/ sculpture, then hit some sort of obstacle and switch to making a self recirculating eddy current tube, get frustrated and try to design and build an electronically commutated counter rotating propeller driver, get frustrated and try to build a garage sized 3d printer, get frustrated and try to build a delayed action door closer get frustrated and try to build a co-planar compound cycloidal reducer, get frustrated and then forget my wife’s anniversary until 4pm the day before.

Imo the article writers probably feel that they are decrying the way people are demeaning her, but it’s just adding visibility for the judgemental.

You should look up time management strategies for people with ADHD because these are both classic symptoms.

Go to the hardware store and get some pex tubing, and a shark bite union fitting.

Cut the tubing to the size you want, use the fitting to close the loop. The fitting can be removed by pressing on the ring around where the tubing goes in. They’re may be a tool that will make this easier.

So you can put all your chokers on the ring, then rotate the one you want to the opening

Everybody should also know that the Communist Manifesto is different from Marx’s magnum opus Capital.

Religion is deliberately non-falsifiable.

I think it would be more accurate to say that the non-falsifiablity of religion has evolved as a result of a sort of natural selection. Essentially all the falsifiable religious beliefs have been falsified, and thus have trouble propagating.

Shoes, but it also kinda sounded like cheese, or sometimes Jesus, which was really weird.

Second one is the song that Hell’s Bells by ACDC should have been. (The song promised by the intro)

First one would be Lake Bodom by Children of Bodum

Your explanation makes sense to me, an uninvolved spectator with no particular knowledge of generators.

Maybe you direct the generator exhaust over the exterior of the tank? Would that be adequate heat?

My thought was to recall that my 20# propane tank has some sort of safety valve integrated into it that will clamp outflow if there is too big a surge in flow. Flow needs to be 0 for a minute or so for it to reset. But that doesn’t explain your experience with the larger tank.

Thanks!

I haven’t been following the specifics of ai image generation.

How much does it cost to do this? I thought Dall-e was unrelated to chat gpt, did you link them somehow?

What happened to your kids?

Dbrand is lucky they haven’t been sued by the board manufacturers for creating an unlicensed derivative work (which is what the case art is, just as the photo of a sculpture, even stylized, has been deemed derivative - especially when the reproduction is intended to represent the original).

I think “lucky” is an overstatement but this is an interesting point and could be the knockoff company’s defense ie:

we couldn’t have infringed their IP because they don’t own the IP

But I think this line of defense would open both case makers up to a suit from the phone manufacturers. Dbrand is well familiar with IP issues with hardware OEMs though so I don’t know…

Thanks, yeah when I spoke to my neighbour I got the impression that they do have something like that set up. But I’ll try to get them to understand the importance of making it difficult to reverse or work around.

Yes

Yeah sorry I guess it’s not clear.
