Hey all,

I'm looking for some advice on some age appropriate punishments for my four year old when they hit/push/scratch. My older, 8 yearold is easier to pick punishments for, because we can limit or restrict certain things they like to do, but because my four year old is still in a go with the flow phase, it is a bit harder. What ideas do you have?

Okay :) what type of needle would you recommend? Someone else recommended a denim needle

Thanks! Serious question: what's the worst that could happen?

 

Hello! I have a sling bag that I really like, but the strap doesn't take it as close to my body as I would like. I have a sewing machine, but I have never used it for stitching seatbelt webbing. What sort of needle would I need to use, and which type of thread would be best suited for the material?

 

Hello! I am interested in creating my own cloud storage network, but I have to idea how to even start it. It's just for myself, mainly pictures and videos. Ideally what I would like to do is be able to manually and/or automatically upload pictures and videos from my phone to my home cloud storage. I have Xfinity as my service provider. What is the cheapest and simplest way to achieve this?

Join my Myanonamouse. They have the largest collection of ebooks and audiobooks. It's 100% worth it. You can find nearly any title you're looking for on there. You can only join during a certain weekly window, and have to pass a test that is based on their rules, but it is absolutely worth it, my friend.

 

Hey all! I wanted to build/buy a retro gaming console with Raspberry Pi to play roms. What is the simplest way to do this? Can I buy a Raspberry Pi that has RetroPi installed already, then just dump my roms onto it?

Thanks 👍

 

Hello!

I am learning how to use a map and compass for navigation, and I have been using Be Expert with Map and Compass. So far everything is straight forward and makes sense in theory and in practice, but then I hit a wall on page 126, second and third paragraph. It is about drawing in magnetic north lines on a map using declination. I'm going to take a picture of the page because it is too much to type on my phone :)

I can't highlight or underline anything because it is a library book. Can someone explain this section to me if the map I am using has a longitude line of 44°52.5 N' in the upper margin, and 44°45' N in the lower margin?

Edit: I think I realized my mistake here. Those lines I mentioned would be my latitude lines, not longitude. My longitude lines read identical at the top and bottom of 86° 0' W

But even so, if the longitude lines at the top and bottom didn't line up, say 86° 0' W and 86° 9' W, how do I add magnetic north lines using a meridian, and which longitudinal lines are considered meridians?

 

Hey there! I'm looking for a compact and lightweight rod to take with me while hiking and backpacking. It will be used almost certainly only for panfish, most likely catch and release. This is something that will probably be used only a dozen times a year, so I'd prefer to spend less that 50 dollars. I'd also like it to fit either inside a backpack, or comfortably attach to it.

Thanks!

Hello :)

I just started shopping for women's clothing, mostly pants. I am AMAB, but I'm on the smaller side. I'm 5'7, 135lbs with a 28in waist. I like my clothing I be pretty tight and form fitting, but I'm not sure which department to go shopping in. I started in the Women's department, but wasn't really impressed. Would the petite or misses section serve me better fitting clothing? I was hoping to find some skinny or slim fit pants that are shorter inseam, like capris, or a little shorter :)

Any advice?

Thanks 👍

 

I want to start wearing clothes that are more feminine-leaning in terms of style, patterns and colors, but I don't want to necessarily wear clothing that is designed for women. I need some help with this because this is entirely new territory for me, and I don't have any kind of support group around me that can help me with this. Are there certain stores that are better to shop at that will help me with this? Online or brick and mortar are fine. If it helps to narrow things down, I'm 37, 5'7", 135lbs with a 28 inch waist. I always wear slim fit, small clothing. I prefer not to spend a lot of money, also :)

Everything I currently wear is masculine-leaning, but I want to find clothes that'll fit my gender fluidity better and make me feel more comfortable. I typically wear casual clothes, but I do get dressed up a couple times a year, too.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Edit: if my location helps, I live in the Metro Detroit area

 

Okay, I was assigned male at birth, but I have questions:

  1. I mostly identified as non-binary/agender, but is it possible for me to also be genderfluid in that capacity? I have felt more fluid recently, but is that generally accepted?

  2. Regardless of fluidity, do I fall into the LGBTQ+ community because of my identification, or am I excluded from it?

  3. Is queer a socially acceptable term to use for those in the community, or does it carry the same weight it did when I was a kid in the late 90s?

I don't have anybody in my community I can discuss this with, which is why I came here. Hopefully you all can help give me a little guidance ✌️
