They are great for ambient noise based on the surroundings. You can also do one or two 'instant' sounds like a large door booming. Any more than that and it starts to feel like a radio dj testing all the fart sounds in their mixer.

Same here. I was 10 images in and thought it was a little overblown. Picture 11 was the kitchen.

Is this actually what they are referring to with that acronym? Because that was my first thought too but I am hoping I'm wrong.

That last line is one reason we're able to fish successfully. Even large fish tire out because they can't pull enough oxygen from the water to struggle forever.

I feel for you, man. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully you feel a little better after letting it out.

Are you seeing someone about your anxiety? That seems like the primary issue. My spouse is a stay-at-home parent while I work full time and I still have all the responsibilities on your list. It's often stressful, but that's being a parent. If it's pushing you into anxiety attacks then you definitely need to address that first.

You'll also have to be clear on your limits. If she wants you to organize playdates and you don't have any time left then make it clear they won't get organized. There are only so many hours in a day.

If it's just piano then it's basically Muzak. The bus itself may even be playing some imperceptibly which you can harmonize with.

I've tried headphones with babies before and it's hit or miss. One would howl instantly if you put them on him while another loved them.

Seems like you found the least intrusive way to keep your kid calm, which I think most people will appreciate.

Great game. I like that you aren't generally allowed to talk, so everyone ends up with their own conflicting plans.

Siouxsie is such a strange phenomenon. Nobody I know has ever heard of her, and I think I only heard her on the radio once growing up. But whenever I look up a band or artist on Wikipedia she's listed as an inspiration. Just monolithic across the industry yet I feel like I'm the only normal person who knows she exists.

For once I am actually happy I turned the sound on.

I Think You Should Leave is such a gold mine of meme templates.

That looks great. How did get such good adhesion? My bed is super uneven so I switched to glass and had incredible results, but I have to babysit the first few layers because 50% of the prints are wrapped around the nozzle by the end.

 

I saw an article about keelhauling and realized I don't know much about pirates (those on the sea, not the internet) beyond what I've seen in movies. Tell me your most interesting pirate facts. Mythical or historical.

 

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this.

Two partial sheets of 3/4" birch plywood with French cleats attached, painted white, were mounted on the walls. Then the desk just slots into the second-lowest cleat, using the bottom cleat as support.

As he grows we can raise the desk a couple times, eventually bringing it up to 29" from the ground which is about regular desk height.

I also made a few shelves and a box for him to organize with out of the plywood scrap.

He likes that he can rearrange his storage as he pleases. I made a couple more medium-sized shelves that aren't pictured, and I may someday make a corner triangular shelf for Bowser to sit on.
