This can't be emphasized enough. Kids are anti-jedi, they just don't see how things are going to move, and they'll knock you the gently caress out if you're not careful. Past the first year their heads are plenty hard :-|

My kid who's still under half my weight discovered he could "pull" me off the ground when I belay him and he throws himself off the climbing wall (he can't, I'm just arresting him dynamically) adn proceeded to try it out a couple more time for funsies. Gave me a loving heart condition.

i was always a weedy nerd until I had kids. i remember picking up their cousin (2 years older) and struggling when she was about 6, but by the time my kids were that age i was so much stronger from carrying them & all the associated crap. then they got too big to carry and im growing a dad gut, but for a brief period i was strooong

yes, the wiryness is real. I still carry my 7yo on my shoulders in the woods sometimes, keeps the back strong, though he's cresting 60lbs now so it could go badly

I do have a pihole so could be....but could also be buffering/lack of as my connection is a bit variable (and my WiFi coverage is terrible)

get the gently caress in


I figured this box was part of the electrical system because the meter is on the other side of the wall, but it's actually got all the aerial cables, whatever the gently caress those brown ones are, and a bunch of cat5e that must be the phone sockets

so this also explains why none of the aerial sockets work (but there is satellite that does so doesn't really matter), or the phone lines: they ran to the sockets and then just.....didn't connect the other ends

but also yeah, can convert that to data if I can work out the wiring type. I'm guessing relay with those cables going to each floor then round in a ring between sockets.

do you have any junction boxes on the underside of the eaves of the house? wouldn't be shocked if the mystery coax is there for a security camera system.

Hmm not that I've noticed, and there is a separate alarm system with motion sensors (that we never use tbh). the black coax appears to terminate up there but there's no aerial I can actually see connected to it

the brown coax I'd expect to be a satellite run....but I'm guessing they moved the dish and just ran a new one on the outside for whatever reason because that's what currently connects to the actual tv

night 1 of going away with brother in law's family (two kids) ours is the middle child and is charging around hyperactively copying her cousin and it is the literal opposite of relaxing.

also she jugged a juice (which she rarely has but it was free) too fast after eating, sucked in a load of air, misjudged a burp and then did an enormous :barf: all over my wife

thank god I hadn't picked her up because she was asking for me and I would probably :barf: right back
