How to handle a toddler tantrum:

Ha yeah sometimes you put a foot down and feel that... weird tingly feeling, and you gotta wonder... do I really *need* that foot?

Pinky and ring finger = probably ulnar nerve (cubital tunnel along the bottom of your elbow - when you whack this it’s the “funny bone”). If you get this, stop rolling your elbows on your desk and get a soft pad between your elbows and the desk before you build up scar tissue and get cubital tunnel syndrome. That…

well, I was as serious about the ball bag heater as I was about the massaging cupholders :P I’m from southern california so heated seats seem silly (here). A lot of cars come with them if you want certain other features but they’re pretty useless here. Just highlights the issue - though a lot of people still flock to…

I’ve heard that you guys in the north have all sorts of standalone options, while in the US everything keeps getting more and more trim-level-ified.

I think it’s everyones annoyance that they’re bundled under trim levels. I can’t order the base model with better headlights. I have to order massaging cupholders and a scrotum warmer to get the better headlights. I don’t want those other things, I just want decent lights. 

I think part of it is, so many cars come with awful headlights that people do HID conversions in halogen housings and it blinds everyone. The other is, lots of people, even with factory LED or HID lights, drive around with the high beam shutter activated “for safety”.

There’s a dude with a car referred to as “the death fiero” with I believe a mitsubishi 4g63 - it’s absurd and wrong in all the right ways :D I believe matt farah did an episode on it.

A v8 fiero is one of my all time favorite cars to build/drive - though mine was using a cadillac PFI v8. Torquey, low revving, didn’t really match the character of the car, but I was a high school kid with a car that could almost pull the front tires off the ground and looked “exotic enough”. If anyone ever wants to…

Anyone looking to get into streaming/podcasting/youtube/etc. - do remember that a mic, no matter how good it is, will be picking up *your voice*. If you buy a fancy mic and you still don’t sound great, don’t be disheartened - not everyone naturally has a good voice. There are tons of resources for free voice training…

Are there canadians in the detention centers too?

I asked to avoid making an assumption, so you can step back off your soapbox. 

I think, with so many trolls in comments these days, that people assuming I was up to no good was pretty safe, so I don’t take any of the replies personally :)

I get you. I was straddling the fence between being ignorant, and potentially being rude. I felt like possibly apologizing for being rude was better than remaining ignorant :)

:shrug: in my experience, both  parents present, the kids always run to mom. Thats why I asked - more anthropological curiosity. 

It wasn’t intended to be rude, in retrospect I think I just articulated the question poorly in the interest of being brief. 

Thank you for the reply - I wasn’t trolling, just asking questions out of curiosity because I don’t know any other way to learn what I was asking - Google failed me on this one other than some bloggy opinion pieces and I figured people here would be a little more receptive to the question.

I think I just articulated it poorly - it’s just something outside my experience and it was a tough thing to google so I thought this would be a place to benefit from others’ first-hand experience. Thanks for the level reply. I wasn’t thinking things like food prep, it was more - when a young kid falls off a slide and…

My experiential base has all included pretty consistent roles divided between the gender of my parents, friends’ parents, and peers that are now parents - I didn’t want to *assume* it was all the same, so I asked the question. I wasn’t intending to cause offense, I was legitimately curious if it was the same in same…

Thanks for the level reply, I grew up with and had always observed certain paternal duties going to one parent or the other, typically along gender lines, and wondered if that dynamic remained consistent in a same sex couple. Apologies if it came across as offensive.
