- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 1 week ago:
I think part of it is maybe people change or are shocked by the realization of the immediate added responsibility, but also remember that you’re certainly not going to sleep as much, like ever again. Losing sleep regularly when you had so much control over your sleeping habits is really impactful to your mental state.
My wife and I didn’t really get angry with each other or change our behavior towards each other, but we definitely were much more tired. At the same time though, you have this wonderful little person that you are shaping (that shits and eats ALL the time) - it’s a massive change of routine. People inherently don’t like change.
I feel a lot of what you’re afraid of stems from this. Just ensure that you both go into it knowing you will need each other to support each other. Do it as a team, share the responsibilities, and truly enjoy those moments because they go by SO fucking fast.
Treat it like a marathon and not a sprint. Compete with each other to be the first to apologize and diffuse the situation when things get heated. Marriage isn’t easy, but it can be rewarding to share that part with your better half.
I hope you figure out how to weather your storm! It’s an amazing thing to see them grow up and to be there every step of the way as a team.
- Comment on Heat setting magnets is bad. 2 weeks ago:
This should be higher up. OP clearly learned a lesson here but one larger lesson most everyone can learn is that neodymium magnets aren’t the only kind of magnets. Especially when high temperature performance is needed. Samarium Cobalt magnets are much better suited for high temperature and corrosive applications. Plus if I remember correctly they’ve been around longer.
Most neodymium loses it’s magnetism at 200-230C. Some Samarium Cobalt can retain their magnetic properties all the way up to 350C or higher grades up to 500C (1022F)
I nerded out on this a few years ago when I made a magnetic thermal blanket for my pellet smoker and experienced the same thing. Samarium Cobalt did the trick in my application.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 2 weeks ago:
I’m really bad about buying new games at launch where I like the franchise and getting burned (looking at you bf2042).
However with all of the stupid politics, tariffs, and recession coming in the US, I’m sure the hell not buying this at $80, even if I’m a long term borderlands fan. I have way too many games in my library I should be playing/finishing anyway.
I hope others speak with their wallets as well.
- Comment on YSK if you have a library card or are a student, there's a free streaming service called Kanopy 3 weeks ago:
There’s also a similar service for renting books through your e-reader called Libby. On kobo their Overdrive service uses Libby for the same end result - renting books from your local library on your digital reader. And it’s free!

Prepare for the weather properly! Your friend should take care of most of the tough parts, but one thing you can do is understand what “the mountains” means in your area.
For example, for me the mountains in Colorado get down below freezing still this time of year, so if I were camping I’d need to ensure I have a proper sleeping bag (temperature rated for the overnight temps you’ll be in up in the mountains) and pad to go under it (absolutely necessary for thermal reasons really any time you’re camping) plus clothes to wear overnight, such as thermal tops and bottoms and socks, even a hat/beanie if it’s cold enough. If you’ve never camped in cold weather, it can be intimidating, miserable, or even deadly if you’re unprepared. I absolutely love doing it (I use a hammock and not a tent, it’s a blast).
However your friend may have most of this for you, so focus on your clothes, he should probably have advice on this topic as well.
Enjoy your first time! It can be an incredible experience with the right company and planning. It’s always fun to connect with nature and disconnect from our everyday lives and technology.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, certainly if he were a normal President. But he’s a textbook narcissist who only gives a shit about himself and capitulating to the ultra elite. Throw some performance goals set up by his boss Vladimir Putin, and what do you get?
Absolute fucking chaos alongside fleecing the lower 99.99% for anything you can get and manufacturing a crash in the stock market so you and your elite friends can, you guessed it, profit from it tremendously.
A rational president, you bet. This dude is not that.

- Comment on Nintendo president responds to Switch 2 price increase fears amid Trump tariff fallout 1 month ago:
Yeah I’m not in it at either price point. I’ll for once be a patient gamer and wait until it’s reasonable or I’ll skip this one. I’m betting there’s lots like us.
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 1 month ago:
You literally swear on the Bible before taking office
Haha and even more ironic here is that trump skipped this step this time and nobody said a word.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 month ago:
Well I’ve had essentially every console Nintendo has ever produced, but at least for now I’m not excited about the switch 2 for this very reason, I’m fairly put off about it.
I’m either going to buy a steamdeck or wait for the cost to go down (Nintendo is usually firm with their pricing though) on the Switch 2 before I’ll ever buy it or any games.
Especially while the US languishes under trump for the next nearly four years. I’m not going to have a lot of extra space for added expenses and price gouging.

- Comment on A Foot Pedal To Supplement Your Keyboard 2 months ago:
Unfortunately, those foot pedals are incredibly cheap in their construction. All plastic with a metal spring. Typically the plastic rod holding the upper piece to the lower piece is what breaks first. I’ve gone through many over the years using them as my push to talk button for various programs like teamspeak, mumble, and discord.
It’s handy (or footy - ha! Dad joke) though to give yourself another key you can map to something other than your hands.
- Comment on Why don't people going to college get HUD, Food Stamps, and free Medicare/Medicaid while enrolled? Instead of the parents footing the bill or the student working 3 jobs and school? 2 months ago:
I was an orphan at the time, but when I was putting myself through college I had food stamps and it helped me a ton with keeping me fed. I was fortunate to have that program available to me at that time in my life. I also worked several jobs at the same time.
- Comment on Can you actually suffocate to death from holding your breath? 2 months ago:
I don’t think so, but I’m certainly not an expert on the subject. However, I would think at worst you could hold it until you pass out. Once you pass out, your body would no longer consciously be purposely trying not to breathe, and you would then start breathing before you regain consciousness.
Logically that’s how I think it would go, at least.

Hey, I’m glad you can pull it off! I would look really weird with a shaved head. I would think there’s still maintenance involved though. How often do you have to shave it?

- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 7 months ago:
My Comcast has a terabyte monthly data cap. They will send you an email if you get close to it, and if memory serves they allow you one time to go over it before they charge you some.
Even with downloading many big games sometimes when I refresh my PC and using streaming video apps all the time, I’ve never hit it but have come close several times. I also work from home.
