  • I always wanted to be a stay at home dad. My wife’s a gig worker and tried branching out on her own business and quickly realized she didn’t like the actual business aspect. Which is fine, I genuinely love what I do most days and make enough to where she can mostly stay at home.

    I’m about to go on a 3 month paternity leave and oh boy am I excited. After the first few weeks once my wife recovers from surgery it’ll most be my oldest and I hanging out while my wife is with our second. I bought stuff for my son and I to record our guitars (he’s 3 but he gets so into it), have a little list of science experiments that he loves, plenty of home renovation projects that he gets surprisingly into, a bunch of seeds and a few more raised beds for the garden, and of course, foam baseball bats to hit eachother with.

    I’m getting git just thinking about it.

    I don’t see how anyone could get tired of that, I’m already dreading going back to work and my break hasn’t even started.

    PS: not to say that it’s all fun, I know a lot more goes into being a stay at home parent that baseball bat fights.





  • I highly doubt it, if the store is too busy they’ll likely either do nothing because why would they or if it’s really bad add some robots who can handle the workload so they can get rid of those pesky employees.

    In the past few years almost all of the fast food places in the closest plaza to me have been working on a skeleton crew. Lines wrapped around the building, 2 miserable employees, upset customers, but the money is still coming in.

    Most people can’t just leave their job, even a days wage can crush a lot of people.



  • That’s always a possibility especially when every company under the sun is making smart things on a whim for as cheap as possible. I don’t trust any of them as far as I can throw an oven.

    I have a few random smart things, but before I connect them to the internet I make sure they have a decent api that I can use, block external access from the router and set up a little interface so that I can VPN into my home and control stuff if I need to. So in order for anything to be compromised my whole network would have to be owned. Which is still possible but I trust that a lot more than letting 20 different apps for each device have access to anything in my home.
