Jesus, that mug sitting exactly at the corner of the “desk” on a notepad hanging over both edges is giving me massive anxiety

HAS SCIENCE GONE TO FAR?!

Das „butterähnlichste“ zu einem vernünftigen Preis ist imo noch immer Alsan - enthält aber afaik Palmöl.

Ansonsten ohne Palmöl: 1. „Sojola“ für wenig Eigengeschmack und 2. unser aktueller Favorit immer die Hausmarke (gibt es eigentlich bei allen gängigen Supermärkten eine) „Sonnenblumenmargarine“, die schont dann auch den Geldbeutel :)

My dad once felt a sneeze coming while brushing teeth. He tried to suppress it and closed his mouth, resulting in a mouthful of minty toothpaste pressure-washing his nose.

He didn’t recommend this experience at all, besides the burning agony that lasted quite a while, crumbs of dry toothpaste kept falling out of his nose for like a week sporadically.

Or press the tip of your tongue very firmly against the roof of your mouth. Helps me mitigate sneezes

I read an article on this a while back that made me refrain from actually getting bees. I can’t find it right now, but the gist is that domesticated honeybees will compete with a lot of other pollinators (mainly solitary bees) over the exact same food sources.

However, the honeybees have a gigantic advantage in being supervised, housed and generally looked after by the apiary. Which will also employ methods to stimulate hive-growth, driving the hives demand for food.

That is something a solitary bee - or another pollinator depending on the same nutrition - cannot compete with, driving them away.

So, in a nutshell: adding bees to a place already rich in honeybees? Whatever. Adding honeybees into a local ecosystem not having them rn? That will drastically lower biodiversity

Just a wild guess: are you using the 5ghz or 2.4ghz Wifi? 5ghz is way faster but very fidgety with larger distance to the router, walls in the way or other routers nearby.

So, maybe you can troubleshoot your way out:

  • play as close as possible to the router using 5ghz and see if problems persist
  • check if changing to 2ghz makes a difference
  • use a network analyser on your phone to check if others use the same band as you, which might disrupt your connection. If so, check your router settings to change band to another one

Good luck!

Blue hours (self.dads)
submitted 8 months ago by frosch to c/[email protected]
 

My 2yo has one night with kind of a blue hour every other week, where he wakes up in the night and is just completely awake for 1-2,5 hours. Wanting to read books, maybe snack a bit.

They’re more common for him when there’s something up (milestones like learning a lot new words, when he learned to walk, teething, …)

Do any of you experience them? How do you handle this? We manage okay with keeping the light low, reading books that he can choose, but otherwise enforced staying in the bed.

So, we switched from one really big blanket to two individual smaller ones. And every day I’m struggling with the decision. Do I

a) let them overlap, which looks good but is a damn hassle to get undone for sleeping

b) have them separate and kinda crinkle them so they only cover one half of the bed, which looks ridiculously bad

c) some third option my simple mind could not come up with?
