tanglisha Link ParentTouch screen gloves are so iffy. I managed to improve mine with more conductive thread, but they're still not precise enough to type with. Voice to text is such a bad idea at a crowded bus stop.Touch screen gloves are so iffy. I managed to improve mine with more conductive thread, but they're still not precise enough to type with.

Several times a day work would grind to a halt so Macafee could do it's thing for what felt like a couple of hours. And of course we had to get someone from IT to help out anytime we wanted to do something crazy like install intellij.
Powershell is at least an improvement on the old cmd language, but the console it comes with is terrible. I really don't understand why selection works like it does. Also docker wouldn't work with any Linux os, though I'm guessing that's better with the new integration.

tanglisha LinkI don't have a phone recommendation, but you can buy a mini stylus that'll work with any touch screen. It won't be part of the phone, but you could keep it on a keychain or find a case/phone pouch...I don't have a phone recommendation, but you can buy a mini stylus that'll work with any touch screen.

Unsweetened tart cherry juice can be substituted for wine - I once did this for a big mixed group of people and they loved it. This cherry juice is so good. It’s expensive for juice but completely reasonable compared to a bottle of wine.
It’s better the second day. I usually freeze half in serving size portions on the second day, it reheats beautifully in a covered pot on the stove. If it didn’t take up my whole French oven I’d double the whole thing and freeze that whole second batch.
Edit: On a side note, I freeze half of all freezeable recipes like this. I was made a lot last winter and ate risotto, beef borg, and a variety of stews all summer without heating up the house much.

The last I saw of it, it wasn't great. I think they need a show runner refresh with someone who actually likes the show.

This clarified something for me, they don't see anything involving money to be a shared responsibility. I wonder if this may be carrying into the other things you've brought up.
Perhaps they see housework as your thing, this happens to women all the time. The person who cares about the housework does most or all of the housework, at least in part because they have the ability to see what needs to be done. It's not okay that this happens, but it's pretty common.
I'm not clear on how much their ex is involved with the kids, even if they're not in the picture the past might be driving your partner's parenting behavior.
I apologize if I've missed you saying you already had a counseling discussion. Counseling is a step in the right direction if you really do want to stay together, as well as a source of feeling like you've done everything you can do if things end up not working out. You can't know what's going on in someone else's mind unless they tell you, a trained person is going to be good at asking the right questions to draw out miscommunications and misunderstandings.

I was really surprised that the latest Superman was set in the present and think they did a good job handling facial recognition. You just know in that world there's a whole swath of people doing nothing but trying to figure out who he is.
I realized it was happening when I started hearing songs from my childhood in tv commercials.

Even new movies do this, Moviemakers sometimes slip in what they call an homage to honor the thing they're being a character or story on.
At it's most recognizable, there's the chosen one story type. We see it over and over and most people seem to love it. Well known examples are Superman, Star Wars, The Matrix, and Harry Potter.

I'm so happy they're making kvm switches again, they seemed to all but disappear for a while.
