No more or less flawless than windows, Android, or the iOS stuff.

It’s different flaws.

I mean, I referenced the tacticool thing already, but you do you

You aren’t kidding lol. Projectile diarrhea is even worse imo. And I’ve had both get past ppe before. Not good times

Yeah, molle rocks. The bag I had when I was working, I kept gloves and wipes in two front pouches I could swap out fast. I’d have multiples prepped so I could grab and go, stick them on and be out the door faster. Super nice when I would have multiple patients and something messy happened, or I’d need to resupply at home. Take care of the prep once a week or so assembly line style and spend less time not getting paid to do work stuff.

Baby supplies are really similar, and a parent of an infant is going to have similar time issues (for different reasons).

Modularity is awesome.

Heh, good one.

Legit though, I used to have to carry similar supplies (minus the actual diapers and infant) for my job, and it was really hard to find things that were durable, well compartmentalized, had good capacity and could be cleaned relatively easy.

Towards the end of my working years, that kind of “military inspired” stuff started showing up, and it really did beat the pants off of other options I had been using.

It was super nice to be able to really organize all the ppe, wipes, gloves, spare pads, etc I had to tote around to patients. Not that nothing else worked, it just didn’t work as well.

I felt like a moron with the whole tacticool vibe, but not enough to switch back lol

Well, other than it being all tacti-cool in aesthetics, standard baby gear is not as well arranged as what’s in the picture.

That gear in the pic would let you carry the baby stuff with your hands free and able to actually take care of an infant out and about. Waaay better than the usual shoulder sling or backpack options, and absurdly better than the kinds meant to be carried by hand.

There’s a reason surplus gear used to be wildly popular. It was mostly designed to work. It would be better than what you could get outside of a surplus store, even when what you were getting was years out of date and current issue was better. With companies making stuff that’s built with stuff like molle in mind, following principles that make what’s being carried leave hands free but be reasonably accessible, shit just works better, even though it looks ugly.

If I’m toting an infant around, I don’t need pretty, I need comfortable and capable.

Eh, short term it’s no big deal. Teeth are durable as hell and won’t get fucked up by anything that minor if it’s a rare thing. But, the more you do it, the more damage accumulates over time. A few times a year over decades? Never gonna notice it.

A few times a month, and it’ll be a decade or two before it would be a problem.

A few times a week, and you’d better have dental coverage and/or good income, because you’re looking at a few years before it starts showing up as carries. Less if circumstances are bad, or you didn’t start out with very good teeth.

There’s also the fact that keeping in the habit of brushing after eating stays a habit better if you don’t deviate from it without an important reason. In my mind, if you’re awake enough to eat, you’re awake enough to brush afterward. If you aren’t awake enough to brush, then you probably shouldn’t be eating either. Fucks with digestion and metabolism. It’s better to just stay on track and skip the snack, if you dig me.

But nah, if it’s a rare thing, you’ll take more damage from a soda than a single night skipping brushing after a midnight nosh. It’s all about the acids.

Now, if you can’t be bothered to at least swish out with some water, I’d say you’ve got worse things to worry about because you can do that on your way back to bed, swallow it and take zero extra effort beyond the mouthful of water. If your energy is that low, or there’s some other impediment involved, focus on that.

My patience.

I’m too old for this shit, and that shit is getting old fast, so just bloody well hurry up while dishing it out. Good stuff, bad stuff, I just ain’t got the time to wait around with my thumb up my ass all damn day.

How immersed?

Tye sphincter can and will resist pressure, but only so much. You won’t run into that kind of pressure freediving, or even anywhere you could use a wet suit afaik, but you get deep enough and it would become an issue.

Or, if you’re immersed somewhere with water moving heavily, you could get breaches in your breeches I suppose.

Ummmmmm…

Yeah, I’d be looking for someone else too. I don’t believe in being a slave to a clock, but he’s just not matching your needs and expectations even when he’s there, so it just isn’t a good pairing. A trainer and client have to be on the same page for them to be able to really guide you.

Sorry you’re working so hard and not being supported right. There’s plenty of room for a relaxed trainer, but that’s not what you need to meet your goals. Sucky position to be in. If it wasn’t prepaid, I’d say just walk entirely since it’s a recurring issue.

Good thing is that trainers tend to have a fairly high turnover rate, so he may end up not being there long.

IDGAF about five minutes in most circumstances. There’s just too much shit that matters way more.

If it was something that was a dealbreaker metrics because it fucked other things up for me, I’d want to know what the deal was, communicate that my needs weren’t being met, and decide to stay a member/customer based on that, but it’s not something that would bother me.

I refuse to be a fucking slave to the clock on my phone, and wouldn’t insist anyone else be either. Back before network clocks, we all did fine without and nobody died.

I mean, no update?

Amen to that. Keeping a sense of open communication is vital while kids are going to be experimenting and exploring. Not just their bodies amd sexuality, but definitely for those.

It’s a little weird for sure. But the whole “do not shove things into you that aren’t fingers or designed for it” conversation is a lot less disturbing than the potential disturbance of that hospital visit. For that matter, it applies to the “don’t shove yourself or rub yourself against anything not designed for it or on/in a consenting and legal human” as well.

I’ve known a few people that suffered injury from humping stuff that wasn’t wise.

Ignoring context, it would be unusual, but not inherently worrying. There’s plenty of mothers that help guide their daughters to an age appropriate sex toy, and some that will do the same for their sons. Rarer, there are fathers that will do so, but men have to worry more about external opinions about such. A mothers buys a dildo for their kid, the default assumption is that it’s weird, but not bad. A father does it, and the default assumption is that he’s over the line.

That being said parents should be the default source is advice about such things, because a bunch of young idiots (as opposed to old idiots) trying to advise each other about things they don’t have much experience with is a recipe for hospital visits.

In terms of general purpose guidance, and funding/ordering sex toys, there’s nothing wrong with a parent helping their kids in that way, assuming care is taken. There’s even an argument to be made that verbal instructions on safe use are even to be encouraged, and helpful hints aren’t exactly out of line (for real, a lot of young people masturbate in unhealthy ways that just a few sentences could prevent much trouble down the line).

In context, with the info you provided in comments, the mother in question is not being a good parent in this case, so it fits the word abnormal in the sense that it is unhealthy.

Ignoring all the politicians…

Anthony Anderson, the actor. But it’s not as an actor he annoys me. I’m actually a bit of a fan of him on the job. Sometimes gets a little hammy, but not too bad. Great at comedy.

But he always has a stick up his ass in interviews. I’m not sure why, since he seems like an otherwise decent guy, but damn. Like, relax man, just ease up.

Really rarely, and very little when I do.

I dislike being drunk, period. I’m not a huge fan of being tipsy, though every few years it can be nice, i’m not exaggerating the time scale, it’s a very unusual thing for me to have enough to get me to that point because I prefer not to be that significantly impaired. Even then, it’s only in specific settings and situations.

That being said, I have found as I’ve aged that I enjoy some alcoholic beverages for their own sake, which I never did when I was younger. Back in my teens and twenties I could say that I didn’t like anything alcoholic at all. No beer, no wine, definitely not liquor. The closest I got was wine coolers, and even then I’d have preferred just a soda. Some mixed drinks were okay as one offs. Ciders were always kind okay though.

But in my thirties, I found a few beers I could halfway enjoy, then a couple of wines that pleased my palate enough to drink on their own. Then my tastes opened to to include bourbon and some other whiskeys here and there.

By my forties, I could appreciate scotch, if not enjoy it. And my enjoyment of bourbon increased to the point that it’s my default drink when I do drink. I discovered a range of wines and beers I could enjoy with food easily, and a few more by themselves.

In a given year, over the last decade or so, I might have something like beer, wine, or cider with a meal three or four times. A glass of bourbon maybe twice, if that. This year I haven’t had any alcohol that wasn’t an ingredient in a recipe being cooked. And I’ll gladly take a sip of something if someone offers, just to try something new.

Legit though, I’ve been thinking about popping open a cider, or maybe buying a bug zapper so I could chill in the back yard with my chickens and a bourbon on ice. Dunno, might happen or might not.

Mind you, I don’t have a moral objection to alcohol use. No issues with other people enjoying it if they do. Can’t say I enjoy being around people when they’re drunk, mostly. There’s a handful of exceptions where I can tolerate or enjoy the company of individuals when they’re drinking a good amount, but in general I’d rather hang out with a junkie than a drunk, as an indicator of my scale of difficulty in putting up with someone under the influence of something.

But I’d rather hang around a drunk than a tweaker or crack head. Pot heads are fine to hang with entirely, no objections usually.

Which is tangential to the post’s subject, but I know people outside of lemmy that use lemmy that drink, and I wouldn’t want them feeling bad because they thought I don’t like them because they drink. Just because I don’t like something, and have personal limits on what I can be around doesn’t mean that it’s some kind of horrible thing. If I’m a friend of someone that drinks regularly, it’s because they’re not only a friend, but they don’t act poorly when drinking, so it isn’t an issue.

Yeah, we have one that covers this side of town during early spring until late fall.

I’ve even seen them out in winter, but I suspect they’re selling warm products, not frozen, then.

Well, part of it is the margaritas I specific. That tangy goodness is going to match well with the general range of spices used in Mexican foods. Fajitas in specific have that bold and spice forward flavor profile that goes well with anything citrusy. Tequila has a fairly distinct flavor that mixes well with that lime and orangey mix. Most people already put lime on fajitas to begin with.

Stuff like guac is fatty enough to benefit from something like that to cut through it as well.

So you’ve essentially got a mouthful of amazing flavors that are used in Mexican food because they go well together.

Some alcoholic beverages are going to work with damn near anything. But if you tried a margarita with your meatloaf, you’d not be as impressed. Not until the fourth or fifth drink anyway.

Something like a low hop beer goes with pretty much any non dessert foods, allowing for personal preference. But you can select bears or wines that would not do well with mexican. Or select for those that would be as good as a margarita. Same with a u cuisine; the right beverage enhances the food, and vice versa.
