Tell Rizzo he's one of the cutest pups I've ever seen.

That makes sense. I also totally get you on the last point. As soon as I manage to own a house, the yard is getting planted with local flora, fruit bushes, and a vegetable garden.

I think for some people it's like a form of meditation, especially for those with a big lawn and a riding mower. I don't personally get it, but that's the vibe these guys give off.

I start to get weak and fussy if it's 12:30 pm and I haven't had lunch. Assuming I get lost in the woods after breakfast that means I have a good 3-4 hours to find a settlement before I drop dead of being a little bitch.

Mathematically it works out to half the ~~cancer~~ type 2 diabetes and stroke.

Pros: price

Cons: the watch doesn't work and now you have lead poisoning

I can smell this comment, and now I have even more microplastic in my blood.

I have no idea about the site itself, but having the domain registration showing as private isn't necessarily a red flag in itself. I do it myself to avoid spam, and it's a free service offered by many registrars.

As someone else commented, however, if it feels fishy you're probably correct.

Classic Lemmy user, bringing not one but two laptops to a live show.

Given that I mostly play heavily-modded games, a run is usually "complete" when it is abandoned due to its inevitable TPS death.

Right? At this point I'm just sticking with WordPress because I can't be bothered to migrate a bunch of sites off of it. Every year for the past decade it's felt jankier. Tumblr's backend has to be a dumpster fire for this to seem like a good idea.

My criticism aside, WP still has the convenience factor of being the open source web platform that has a plugin for just about any need. Whether those plugins are gonna break for site or introduce interesting new vulnerabilities is a different discussion.

Good to know. I've only been using Proton for like 4 months now and have thus far generally liked the experience, but that's too bad about your experiences with the Drive client. I've used several paid business suites over the years through work and they all have their issues though. The only one that was generally solid was Google's and I've gradually taken steps to remove their products from my life so there's no going back to them for me. It was also almost 10 years ago since I last used Google's paid email/Drive, so maybe it's also gone to shit.

 

I hope this isn't an inappropriate question to pose here.

If all goes well I'll be a first-time dad this summer and I want to do my research. I've done some general searching online for answers to specific questions, but I'd love two or three more comprehensive resources. You know, the kind of thing to give me answers to questions I hadn't even considered.

I spent some time searching for pregnancy books oriented to men, thinking it could give me some useful insight into being an ideal partner during the process. At the same time, I'm hoping it'll give me a good general idea of what to expect. The results of my search were rather disappointing. It seems like the majority of books of that nature seem overly bro-ey and just generally too macho for me. I found titles legit along the lines of "Baby Hacks EVERY Man Must Know." Ok, not for me ...

A few popped up that on the surface seemed more promising, but when I looked into them I got wary. One seemed to be sponsored by some men's parenting social media site and the other was written by a self-professed influencer. Also not for me. (I'm on Lemmy because I can't stand influencer-culture.)

I finally settled on a book that seemed a little more my speed in terms of attitude, but with very little substance. It's basically 150 pages of, "Hey, you should be nice to your wife." OK. That's already my standard operating procedure, so we're good there.

I feel like what I want has to be out there. I'm just looking for a resource to tell me all of the little things. You know, stuff like signs to watch out for regarding potential dangers during the pregnancy, what the hell I'm supposed to do while my wife is giving birth, how to avoid falling down the stairs with my new baby, etc.

Anyway ... Do any of ya'll have any hidden gems to recommend? My wife and I are elder millenials so we've got some life experience under our belts. As it probably matters for the topic of parenting, we're quite progressive but don't buy into anything too woo-woo (we're big believers in science).
