Who remembers getting the squid to work like in good days?? None of these immigrants pointing their compound bows down at you through the fossil record was it.

If you showed up after the Milesiasn then as far as I'm concerned you can gently caress off back home, and we're only acceptable because the Nemedians all died out. Bunch of jumped up parvenus. Celts go home, this is our Gaelic and Pictish clay

Because you'll cause a chimney fire or smoke out your house? So please proceed, Mr Prime Minister

Failed Imagineer posted:Because you'll cause a chimney fire or smoke out your house? So please proceed, Mr Prime Minister I read a (possibly bullshit) story about a family in America who tried to get rid of their Xmas tree simply by putting the pointy end into the fire, figuring that they could gradually feed the rest in as it burned away and burned their house down instead.

A dry Xmas tree, due to it's structure of many small branches and needles, burns incredibly fast and incredibly hot. I saw a fire safety video and it's quite a thing.

Also pine resin is flammable I think.

Long ago we replaced clipping candles to the branches with electric tree lights, to reduce the considerable fire risk. I think this is nanny state oppression. Furthermore baubles should be explosive

pine resin can be very flammable and prone to spitting out gobs of burning stuff, fatwood from pine (wood with loads of sap, normally from where a branch joins or a healed scar etc) is a prized firelighter for bushcrafting/survival stuff as it will take off with a hint of a spark and burn hot it also produces a thick acrid smoke that clogs chimneys with flammable tar worra leggend tho

The LFB have specifically warned against burning Christmas trees in the past. https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/news/2020-news/december/recycle-your-christmas-tree-don-t-burn-it-warns-brigade/ Worra legend indeed.

One year you are living it large at xmas, partying drinking Prosecco , feeling the arses of the secretary totty, PPE contracts already handed out to all your chums. Then the next, you're posing as a Mall Santa, desperate for 1000 words while setting the fire alarm off.

Or foreign cars driven by migrant workers and dual citizens? Not sure what the point is though. Like if you go on a road trip to Spain across France, I don't think that Johnny English is going to buy separate French and Spanish insurances to his car, his own insurance company will handle the paperwork.

I assume Johnny English has insurance through work.

No idea if this will stick but given theres been zero consequences for this so far its better than nothing.

Z the IVth posted:You can get ready to go bottled milk. Some even come ready with teats. It's a lifesaver when the baby is screaming, mom's exhausted and the little monkey refuses to latch on. Yeah those are a great option too and you should always keep a bottle or two of that in your changing bag for emergencies, but they come in super handy vs the powder (though they're a tad pricier). The bottle prep machine we got was the tommee tippee one and it's basically a glorified hot water maker (kind of like the nespressos). You put the powder in the bottle itself and then just add water to the tank of the machine. That goes through a water filter thing like the Britta ones i guess and when you make a bottle it passes that water through a heating element so that it comes out at 70 degrees or whatever to help dissolve the formula in the bottle. The rest of the bottle is then topped up with the remaining cooler filtered water that was in the tank to bring it to feeding temperature. We've not had any problem with it, but we cycle through the water fairly regularly to make sure it's relatively fresh and use the cleaning/descaling cycles regularly too. Another thing popped into my mind with being a new parent too and it's about just how much your lifestyle changes. We were very comfy in our routine of work -> commute -> evening relaxing -> sleep/wake repeat that it was a bit of a huge system shock when the first kid came along. It sounds extreme, but if you've still got most of the pregnancy to go, I'd almost recommend trying to preemptively dial back any free/relaxing time you've got just now so that it's less of a change. Maybe do some volunteering or something (if you don't already). For example, right now both of my kids are having their midday nap and I'm trying to decide whether i use the next hour and a half to get some chores done or watch a TV show or something. Free "grown-up" time becomes a big luxury in the early years.

I'm 4 weeks in to a new baby and yes the shock to the routine has probably been the worst thing for me. That and the sleep loss. The days of having 3-4 hours to do 'whatever' no longer exist. I came home from work last night and just took the baby until we went to bed, and then i got up at 4am and had the baby until 9.

we were fortunate that my wife was able to breastfeed both our kids, the stuff is basically magic. Mostly thanks to the nearby clinic support group for new mothers, i cant imagine how much tougher it would be without access to a resource like that. It's also perfect for the lazy dads of the world since there's no faffing about with powder and bottles and sterilising e: my pro tip for new parents is to get familiar with medicines and dosing now while youre a functional human, before you need to use them. there is nothing worse than trying to figure out how much of X to give a shrieking baby at 3am when you're running on fumes yourself kecske fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Jan 6, 2024 |

Congratulations and good luck to the new goon parents out there. It's an absolute headfuck at first, but mine are 2 and 4 now, and generally speaking it's just loads of fun and joy (and, of course, immeasurable stress).

Our second was born just under a month ago, happy to do a bit of an effortpost with our experiences later on when I have a proper keyboard available. Generally the second one was much less stressful since you now know how a baby works generally, but the downside is that you also have a toddler to take care of at the same time. Baby 2 is spitting up milk at least once a day though which we aren't used to, as our oldest rarely spit up anything at all. Both were/are exclusively breastfed
