Make a movie about evil toilets." and I'd say "Sure."
No, he's probably not the film snobs choice to direct Citizen Kane 2049 but he's got money and gets to do creative things. He doesn't have to understand it, just make your kids want to go see it

Hit them with some light trauma that I've already resolved or worked through and see what they suggest. See if they come to the problem with an actual angle or idea or if they get hung up on something stupid. The old "if you can't handle my smallest problem, how do I trust you with the bigger ones?"
Also, I'm decently paranoid and if I don't get a good feel right off the bat, I won't feel comfortable being open.

Other managers expect me to snap my fingers and resolve host errors while simultaneously fixing all the VPs computer problems at their home setup remotely! It's like "Do they even understand that I can't help them if they don't give detailed ticket notes?"
and
The client messages me for a photo shoot and when I arrive they ask about video instead! I brought a 50mm portrait lens not my C100! What, do they want me to shoot at 3200 ISO? Then the boss gets mad at me because the client said I was unprepared. It's like "Do they even understand the different needs for a night time video shoot and a portrait session?"
The therapist will pick up on frustration at others not understanding capabilities and requirements - not all the jargon. Trust me, there's plenty of bad therapists out there. I've met plenty (for one session). Don't worry about them not understanding the technical aspects.

Every time I look at KS for new board games I see a lot to love but also a lot I know I won't have the time for. DRG, Gloomhaven, FrostHaven, big complex games usually get beaten by Sequoia, Ticket To Ride or Catan Jr. I'm hard pressed to even get a game of Carcassonne on...
Why buy more when I can only get players for something shorter or more simple?

The last Switch Lite I did was almost a two hour affair because a rubber membrane would slip every time I closed it.
Still, I think it's fun and I hate the fact that they make you wait and pay anything at all.

If there were more wagon/estate options, I'd take them but when a small lift (Crosstrek) nets a few grand extra than otherwise (Impreza) companies sure as hell aren't going to let you have a Station Wagon when they can upcharge you into a full size SUV.

If you're taking about 28mpg vs 15mpg, you can go twice the nearly twice the distance while being just as "wasteful" with your travel... Except you're wasting less space, less fuel, etc too.
If you have to be perfect to criticize anything else, we'll never get anywhere.

Most Jeep owners don't even go truly off road, just unimproved roads.
All that to say - there's not many places to go truly off road with any car, let alone take your car to one of the three tracks in any given state that haven't been shut down yet. It's perfectly valid to criticize a vehicle that has a much larger footprint, carbon and literal, for being an extravagance than a smaller option that's not utilized to it's full potential.
But, yeah, everyone either buys the car they have to buy or buys the car they want to be. For most it's a bit of both.

So, as long as Kyle would've threatened his kid it maybe would've been okay I guess?

Not to say you can't nap but having a bassinet downstairs or in the living room and making the bedroom a sleep palace will vastly improve the quality of the limited hours of sleep you and your partner get.
2.) Sorry, your life is the baby's now. Any time you choose to prioritize yourself is taking time from your partner. Be very clear when you need things. And, if you need to, the 12am - 4am baby shift is a great time to game quietly. You and your partner have to do the rest of the temporal budgeting together - be clear and honest and what time you need and are using it for.
3.) Babies are kind of potatoes for a while. They need constantly but just the same three things - food, cleaning, and sleep. Worry about language later, you've got tiresome work ahead for the next... Eighteen years.
4.) Nothing is a cure all. All babies don't respond to the same stimuli. All of YOUR babies won't respond to the same stimuli. If anyone has advice, answers, or comments just thank them and drive on... Unless it's a doctor, listen to them.
5.) Nothing is important, everything is. The best times sneak up on when you don't have your camera or are reading an article on your phone. Nothing will break your heart like the first time they don't want to do something you've done every night for years. The bad times will end. The good times will end. To a kid, going to the store can be the most exciting day of their life. Little scientists, exploring which drawers make the best clanging sounds and why putting your knee there makes daddy squeal like that.

Comment on The American elevator explains why housing costs have skyrocketed in ~engineering
Sodliddesu LinkSo, Overly simplifying the opinion I basically see "regulation bad" and "more migrants to do the work for wages that'll reduce the cost more" and from that point of view, sure, he's got a point....So, Overly simplifying the opinion
Elevators in North America have become over-engineered, bespoke, handcrafted and expensive pieces of equipment that are unaffordable in all the places where they are most needed. Special interests here have run wild with an outdated, inefficient, overregulated system. Accessibility rules miss the forest for the trees. Our broken immigration system cannot supply the labor that the construction industry desperately needs.
I basically see "regulation bad" and "more migrants to do the work for wages that'll reduce the cost more" and from that point of view, sure, he's got a point. Are elevators really more expensive than square footage? With the spiraling cost of everything, we'll likely reach the break even eventually.
But, from his own research which he linked in the piece...
High-income countries with strong labor movements and high safety standards from South Korea to Switzerland have found
ways to install wheelchair-accessible elevators in mid-rise apartment buildings for around $50,000 each, even after adjusting for America’s typically higher general price levels. In the United States and Canada, on the other hand, these installations start at around $150,000 in even
low-cost areas.He points out that American crews take twice as long to do the job as well, increasing costs. So, open your elevator firm and undercut the competition! He's done the whole paper, he opened the non-profit to study this, he's just gotta pull the trigger! Yeah, he points out valid problems with the ADA but just make the IKEA of elevators already.
I wasn't feeling the article but reading his paper felt like the Snyder cut of the article.

- Pay your child support
- Don't threaten the other parent
- Don't hire stalkers from the Internet
Ways to seem like an unstable loser.
- Photoshop the other parent in a prison jumpsuit
- Hire stalkers from the Internet and admit it publicly
Yeah, I'm glad he threw in the line about making "nerds" mad because he clearly stopped developing when he saw Revenge of the Nerds. His comment about most of the pictures coming "from women" reeks of "I can't be racist" vibes and, even if he was somehow in the right, all of his actions make him seem unhinged.
Maybe spend some of your spy money on your child support, Charlie, and the courts will arrange visitation time. Dude needs mental help, not an audience.

I'm currently working through the Yakuza series and Fire Emblem on my Switch (have to beat that one before I can move on to the Persona series.)
Well, due to it's size and the fact that FO:L's website seems to be down the way to get it is their giveaway it seems.
Plus, GOG specifically uses the 'giveaway' language.
