Since you’re here to gatekeep any negative feedback on the article... Maybe we can say the same thing about Meghan (or likely the “person who makes the article titles as click-baity as possible) calling parents “Toxic” rather than something following their own advice about labels. Except that’s not what we do. We…

Wow. I call my kid picky, so now I’m a “toxic parent”? Is it possible we’re maybe going a little too far with the labels here, hmm?

I wonder how long it’ll be before there are “Stride Rumbles”, involving warring runner enemies, or people figuring out how to game the system to effectively ruin any possibility of fun.  

I’ve basically given up on Kinja on my phone, its an exercise in complete frustration, most times I can’t even log in, let alone comment.

I’ve been known to break a sweat while brushing my teeth...

Speed bumps, and/or banana peels.  

When Mrs. Ham was 5.5 months pregnant with our 2nd, and our first needed emergency brain surgery on Christmas eve after several months of a “mystery illness” where no doctors would listen to us that it wasn’t “just a stomach bug”.  

I agree with you.

Can we also look at the counterpoint? Where people who are hired for entry level jobs, literally because they have no experience, come into a role and start acting like they don’t need any guidance, or assistance?

I’d say part of the issue is also that they have a “captive audience”. I’m not sure how the numbers break down, but i’d bet a good ratio of truck purchasers use their vehicle for their job (i.e. not just to get back and forth, but to haul, tow, etc).  This means you can “make money” with the vehicle and that is…

Yearbooks were a reasonable thing before you could literally stay connected to everyone you knew (or didn’t know) to a completely ridiculous degree.

I feel like the shortages of things at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown made their mark. Anyone who said “I’m not going to hoard TP” probably wound up scrounging for it like we did at our house. (We never fully ran out, but we did use some products that I felt were testing the boundaries of what you’d call “tissu…

You didn’t mention one of the biggest benefits of COBRA (of which there are sort of few, given its cost). COBRA can be used retroactively. Meaning, you can sign up for COBRA on the 59th day of eligibility (and pay your premiums) and the insurance company is required to cover you as if you hadn’t had a lapse in…

holy shit... While it might be on the uglier side, you may want to consider using a surface mount box for that, particularly as a DIY’er, that hole is not the right size for a box, and I’d be hesitant to start digging around...

I’ve found that there seems to be a direct correlation between the number of exclamation points used, and the chances that a review is a.) complete bullshit (5 star), or b.) completely unreasonable (1 star).

I’d need to see a picture, this doesn’t sound like typical stick framing construction... 

This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.   The Venn diagram of companies that are small enough that whoever you find will have any clue and companies large enough where whoever you find won’t slack your email to everyone to show them you’re being a psycho is very, very small.  

Tooth Payment Adjacent Tip: One of our little hams is an incredibly light sleeper.  We bought a small jewelry box and labeled it the “tooth fairy tooth box” and made a bit of a show of telling her that she needed to put the tooth in the box so that the TF would get it.  It makes doing the swap SOOOOOO much easier.  

This.
