Long weekend!! 👍

For child 1: he would take 2 hours to get to sleep and then wake up every 45 min, every night. We used the sleep training described in Precious Little Sleep, and in 3 nights he was falling asleep himself and sleeping through the night.

For child 2: same start as child 1. We tried the above, and everything else we could think of. Nothing ever worked. I finally convinced my wife to keep him in our room and he disturbs our sleep every night still; but at least one of us doesnt have to go to the other room and screaming doesn’t wake the other child. He’s recently turned 5 and promised he will sleep in his own room, so tonight is literally the first night we’re trying to get him to sleep on his own.

My advice is: good luck. Try whatever sounds good to you, but ultimately, parents aren’t the ones in charge and kids do what they feel like.

But is power also knowledge??

3.6 Roentgen, Not Great, Not Terrible

I’ve lost way too much of my life to PoE and have no intention of getting back into it, but the most fun I’ve had in the game has been playing with new people online while in voice chat on Discord and grinding/farming maps.

The game is also really fun on the Steam Deck as long as you make a build that doesnt need mouse aiming (my last playthrough was with blade vortex). Every couple of days I would then spend time on my PC doing inventory management and trades. Good times.

How do you use it in you setup?

Others explained what it is. To implement it, I basically followed this guide: https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/qbittorrent-with-gluetun-vpn-in-container-manager-on-a-synology-nas/

Please DM me when it is about to pop so I can short it.

Have you even tried lying back and bellowing?

My wife had my number saved on her phone as < first name >< last name >, and didn’t get why I found that odd. I had to change it myself.

The whole idea of “superiority” is so dumb. People should get what works for them.

For most normies/noobs, they don’t even know how to start thinking of gaming PCs. No ideas of GPUs. Don’t want to make the wrong choice and overpay for an ancient system labeled “gaming ready”. Consoles work great in not having to think about anything and just playing. Also you get exclusives. It comes at the cost of higher price, online subscriptions, system lock in, few options for mid cycle upgrade, etc.

PC works great for me and I haven’t had a console in 20 years. I’d recommend it to anyone who is even slightly inclined to learn the basics. The Steam Deck would be a great console experience for anyone…but the sales number compared to the Switch and lack of mainstream recognition shows that a lot of people don’t have an appetite for PC gaming. Fine, use what works for you.

Another problem is that online PC communities have a real obsession with going “top tier”. Most people can do perfectly well with last generation parts and secondhand or refurbished bargains. Budget gaming, retro gaming, patient gaming, are all valid and cheap.

Blended hooves and beef you say?

There has never been a time in history that wasn’t “the worst time ever”, and those problems are long forgotten.

From my parents time: a scary unstoppable new killer virus called HIV, cold war and nuclear arms race, rising violent crime, the disappearing ozone layer, etc, etc.

Not underplaying anyone’s difficulties now…life is certainly hard for a lot of people. But there’s reason to be optimistic. These problems will pass, and then there will be whole whole load of really shit new existential problems…and the cycle will continue.

They see this as an absolute win
