That makes sense, even seeing that parts of the ride is Gravel 2 and well…. PA horrible maintained roads and some railroad crossings. The rest is pretty good pavement.
We started buying BR and CDs for our daughter because we found the physical selection more rewarding to her and interactive. With the exception of the PBS app, no way that could all be a collection.
So sorry to hear about your wife. Hoping for all the best in her recovery. I’m a firm believer you got to do what is best for your family, especially the kids.
It’s unbelievable difficult when they have you at the throats financially. I don’t think you fully understand this until you in the middle of it. Being the primary provider for my daughter, I have basically two options. One is to work on a way out so she can have a better life (current plan) OR to risk that she will be an orphan by actively going against the government as everyone outside of US expects. If you have your own children, take a minute to really think if you okay with your child becoming an orphan or homeless, because that’s the reality here. Even posting this risks my employment, as freedom of speech is long gone. This is just my opinion, and does not reflect the opinion of my employer.
We had no direct family help and our little one was the same for 12 weeks. We ended up finding a rhythm of three hour shifts overnight. It tremendously helped that I had paternal leave for 14 weeks, so I really hope you or your partner have something similar. It turned out that she was full of gas because of issues with breastfeeding, so we switched to formula. Couple weeks later she slept through the night like a champ.
A big motto we adopted during the time is: “I got to take care of myself, so I can take care of her”. So alternating sleeping times was the biggest benefit, since sleep deprivation was a hellscape.
I could never hate my daughter (3 y.o). Does it get frustrating that she purposely tests boundaries every second and malicious compliance is her middle name? Sure! However, the unconditional love is the best feeling in itself. Especially days like yesterday when I only saw her for 15 min, due to work, and we cuddled and read bedtime stories.
Not sure how it changes when they get older, but from personal experience growing up, think it’s always important to embrace them for who they are and guide them the best you can. What helps is a lot of personal reflection, because it’s so easy to want to mold them into a specific individual to feel in control when everything around you is falling apart or you got personal trauma that is not addressed properly. However, that’s so counterproductive. You just got to let your kid be themselves.
Not today, but tomorrow (01Jan). Technically a holiday for the company but I wanted to get this run done so I volunteered and let the team have off. Benefit is I’m allowed to shuffle my working holidays to a different day off.
I have been using Tuta myself and pretty happy with it.
I don’t see a difference honestly, plus you know there is underhand contributions going on.
Why not Proton as well? The CEO is not any better.

That makes sense, thanks for the advice!
Interesting calculator, says I should go with 36/37.
Is there an app for it?
I just want Dr. Katherine Pulaski
I love you all for posting Babylon 5 memes!
Dang, the Bose QC are marked red. I use them daily as they are comfortable. Seems like most over the head headphones get hit hard.

How do you get out of it, especially when it’s seasonal. I’m having the hardest time disconnecting, even on vacation.

It gets better, I promise.
