Hey.

I'm Dan. A 36 year old father of two who doesn't have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

  • Does blowing on our hot food before we put it into our mouths actually make a difference to how hot it is?

    Jump

  • You're right. But in the interest of no stupid questions I thought I'd ask anyway, because...you know, what if?.

    And thanks for the grammar lesson, I didn't ask for that one but I'll take it on board.

  • Thank you.

    I think I saw a show 20 or so years ago that tried to debunk this and obviously either they messed up, or I wasn't paying attention.

    (The show was called Brainiac).

  • How is your week starting?

    Jump

  • Turned 2 a few weeks back. I think we're entering, or have just entered the terrible twos. Fun fun fun.

  • Son broke my favourite mug. And he then threw my phone at my wrist, which hit my watch and scratched the phone screen. Yeah, its been a fun one.

  • I've stopped looking at my notifications on Reddit, it's just too anxiety inducing for me. Thankfully I've not had that same problem here, although I'm sure it'll happen eventually.

    Hope you feel better.

    How do we feel about the opening titles?

  • And so it begins.

    Jump

  • I don't think mine is totally ready right now, but I remember with my elder that there was a pretty big window between when she was ready and when she was willing to sit on the thing.

    So the plan here is to let him get used to it being around the home, let him sit on it and interact with it and then when he's ready to start dropping his trousers... hopefully the transition will be a bit quicker than with my daughter.

  • Would you watch the earth form from nothing to the current time for 500.000 $?

    Jump

  • Maybe I could use that time to watch The West Wing? I've heard nothing but good things about it but...who's got the time.

  • Watching GoT yesterday and saw this.

    Jump

  • Joking aside, the scene where Tywin schools Joff on how no true king needs to say that he's a king is peak GoT. Absolutely incredible writing, acting and production from all involved.

  • I've spent my time continuing through, and then finishing my first run on the new Suzerain DLC.

    Had a good time with it but I think it's maybe not as.. fully thought out as the games OG campaign was. That said, I'm definitely going back to it at some point because I made some frankly awful decisions and it all went wrong very quickly.

    I was a bit worried about how well the Steamdeck would handle it but I actually found playing with the Decks touchpads to be preferable to the games gamepad mode.

  • I just wish the Fury part of Bowsers Fury was a little less all consuming. The little open world they constructed was great, but I found the constant interruption from Bowser to be a little grating after a while.

  • I dunno, I could spend a good long while playing nothing but Football Manager if I didn't have to worry about being anywhere else.

  • I mean, is this in real time because I won't lie, I bet there's an awful lot of 'boring' mixed in with all the amazing moments.

  • I think Farrell suffered a similar sort of thing as Brad Pitt did in the 90s in that he's super attractive...oh and he was in that bad Daredevil movie. Aside from that I can't remember him ever being the reason a movie was bad, and whenever I see him he's absolutely fantastic.

  • How do you balance playing with your kids and leaving them to play by themselves/with siblings?

  • Eldest just turned 6. Youngest just turned 2.

    Second Child

    Jump

  • Won't lie. Having a second was never something I expected to happen. I'm not sure either of us were ready for it and it's absolutely gutted our sense of self, our relationship and our overall level of happiness.

    That said we both absolutely love our two kids. We wouldn't be without them and they make our lives so much more......full. It's amazing to watch them play together, and to watch my eldest show genuine care for another human, and to watch my youngest learn and mimic his big sister.

    It's not been easy. I think we'd both admit that we've struggled with the transition from 1 to 2 in ways we never did form 0 to 1, and our youngest has been significantly more challenging than our eldest was, but even with that, he's an absolute light in my world.

  • Britain’s staycation boom may be over as bookings dry up

  • Is it considered a staycation if you get a caravan for a week? Or is that below the Guardian?

  • Yeah we've got some of this, although perhaps not as frustratingly bad as you guys.

    She's very picky, but we've gotten to the point that we just cook what the other three of us eat and if she doesn't want it then so be it.

    I should emphasize that we generally only eat what we know she likes, but for some reason she'll decide on a random wednesday that now she doesn't like peas and .....yeah okay.

    Banana before bed I guess.
