my kid was sick all week (again!! twice this month, i hope he can have a streak of good health now). my wife has been feeling kinda run down too while ive been smugly congratulating myself on my powerful immune system... classic hubris, now i am starting to feel sick. glad my kid is healthy again at least, he's very sweet and easy to handle normally but he's demonic when he's sick.

Those of us lucky to live closer enough to a park or anything to walk, sure. I'm very lucky in that regard, there's like 2 parks/playgrounds in walking distance, but there aren't many places where you can walk to a park and then conveniently stop by a place to kick back and get some food and drinks for a bit on the way home. You're gonna be walking so far and crossing so many streets with traffic the whole way, and there's not even any guarantee you'll have sidewalks the whole way E: also not much to see walking around towns, most places you can live. You can wander around parking lots and strip malls and houses but there isn't much to see or do, again unless you're lucky

bitmap posted:wait don't you guys just, you know, walk around your towns to the park with your kids and stuff? north america is designed for cars first. i live in a walkable area because it's the edge of an old small town that's exploded with suburban development. there's nice parks and a library all a close walk from here, but 5 km north and there's nothing but concrete and tiny suburban lawns.

A bit off track from parenting but I've lived in or near the burbs in a few cities of australia, england, sweden and now ireland and while there are obvious exceptions most of them seem to naturally enjoy hubs of a kind where you might have a little high street with like grocers, newsagents, a park, a bar, a train station etc within easy walking distance of any residence. is it just some kind of hosed up north american zoning deal?

I had to call my brother in law to come help me jump start my car today because the battery was flat from disuse, nearly 3 weeks! walking the kiddos to one of the nearby parks is great and I lament that it's not doable for everyone

In Copenhagen in the late 1800s, the prime minister decided we needed a new wall. This was largely idiotic from a military perspective, but it means that I have a park kind of thing with a channel and a hill going 10+ kilometers with very few interruptions from my home. Best military failure in history. It even has bunkers you can go into and stuff. The American failure is both car culture and hostility towards public spaces (where homeless/black people could gather)

 I'm spoiled because I live in Toronto like 3 blocks from this giant beach, and at the top of the picture you can see the start of Tommy Thompson Park, which is a 5km man made peninsula and nature preserve jutting out into lake Ontario with a bike path running through it. I bike it 4-5 days a week. Toronto is a really cool (and very expensive) place to live.

Just left Michael's empty-handed after an hour of getting increasingly angry about how the gently caress I'm supposed to "help" build a model phosphorous atom 46 loving foam balls or whatever, how the gently caress am I supposed to make a spherical nucleus out of 31 balls every idea seemed like it would end in disaster i loving hate these kinds of projects

Couldnt you just get one big foam ball have your kid glue on smaller foam balls after you have halved them?

Get a big inflatable ball. The bigger the better. Have your kid explain the model is to scale so the protons and neutrons are stationed around town. Share some images of various town landmarks with balls photoshopped in and a “map” of where the other balls “are”

Share some images of various town landmarks with balls photoshopped in and a “map” of where the other balls “are” That's electrons, friend. The nucleons are in an extremely tight ever changing orbit with each other dominated by the strong force, but basically "occupy" the entire nucleus, to the extent that is a meaningful concept with subatomic particles.

Babby watched me making breakfast yesterday and got really interested in the eggs, especially after i cracked them. I knew this would be something to watch for but i forgot about it by the end of the day. Today we had one of those "it's too quiet" moments and found her in the kitchen having cracked all the rest of the eggs on the floor and smearing it around on her face, and the dog happily licking it up

Ugh, my wife dragged COVID home from work. At least our kids seem to be doing fine. Our 4 year old was sick for a day, our 1 year old is still sick, going on day 2. Seems like just a cold for them (thankfully)
