My first Chromecast i bought years ago for 20$. It's still faster than the Google TV with a remote and I quite like to use my phone as a remote.

LTT screwdriver - although quite expensive has been a great tool when moving a few times, and for everything really.

An old receiver I got used, for 30$ has been with me for 5 years now, and it's sadly starting to misbehave, but I can't afford a new one ATM so I'll suffer through it as it powers everything I throw at it with ease.

Dog and cat food are based almost entirely on protein sources that also contain some fat, but often minimal in carbohydrates. That includes hearts, lungs and liver, which is not common for a baby.

Here you can buy baby food with meat and chicken for babies over 6 months old. Usually it's not a lot of meat as it's harder to process, but 5-10% of the product is meat.

My kids have been eating almost the same as me from when they got a few teeth, and I don't eat dinner without a good protein.

I got quite the busy weekend planned outside of this so I'll probably not stay awake for all the practice sessions...

How old is old as fuck? Success and charm is part of the equation to expand the possible pool, yes, but why not do anything about that? If you like your job, then you should have some confidence in what you do, that eliminates the need for a big salary, to a certain degree.

Your character should never be set in stone. If you are at that point, then it's time to roll up your sleeves and learn a new skill, pick up a different hobby or do something other than your daily routine. Recently I've started reading books and listening to podcasts about a whole bunch of different things because I was tired of being stuck. You might toss away some ideas and others will excite you and keep you progressing.

If you have the opportunity to go to a gym or get any other form of exercise, please allow yourself to do it. Your mental and physical health are one and united. It's hard to eat real, unprocessed food on a budget, but maybe you can afford a meal each weekend that you take your time to prepare and really enjoy both making and eating?

Friendship is a real important factor to everyone, and I'm sorry you lack close friends. Friendship is more important than courtship. If you can shift focus to finding new, close friends that might open up a new mindset and other options down the road.

Well, it has its ups and downs... I'm in the process of getting a divorce and my youngest son is soon to be a year old.

For me it's been a learning process and I don't have any regrets, not even with the situation I'm in right now. We know each other well, and it has been good for almost 10 years, but it's time to find something that makes me happy. I've neglected a big part of myself for the past years, but it's a choice I've made to be able to have two great children and a partner to share things with. We are just not compatible as a husband and wife any more.

The children aspect brings me more joy than anything else I've experienced, but that's probably a personal trait and not for everyone. To watch them grow and become goof machines is a big part of why my life has never been better.

10/10 would recommend both, but they are a ton of work, a source to misery and failure, but that's a part of the experience.

One major problem with books at our school for kids that age is that the language is too simple. Keep it simple enough, but with some variety. One of the main reasons they read is to develop a functional language and that involves some complex sentence and "new" words.

As for the constraints of the story I have no clue how to keep it enganging within a presumably short book. But I wish you the best of luck 👍
