    HomeLab thread? Whitebox, PowerEdge, ESXi, Hyper-V...

    The problem with Hyper-V for business use is that most vendors implement their product/advanced features first for Vmware. This will hopefully become less of a problem as time goes on, but right now there are a lot of great "new" vendors doing new things with new ways but their products don't...

    You might pose your questions to your state licensing board for day care. Here in VA, it's legal for a personal vehicle to be used as long as it meets normal DMV requirements and the proper safety restraints are used, which are very vague and basically say if the kid is under 8, they need to be...

    The "Am I stupid AF for wanting a motorcycle" thread.

    It's going to be fall soon. You probably can't get into an MSF course until Spring when your child will be born. You probably won't have the time to do a course then nor during the next several months, pushing you into spring 2016 probably as the earliest. By then, you will have realized kids...

    Our almost two year old twin girls will attempt to console each other when one of them is upset, but it has little effect. When they are in meltdown mode, it's pointless. This weekend one of them figured out how to climb up on our tall bed. Of course it's the fearless one who has had several...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    There is no modem, but they will give you a wifi router that also has a coax connection to allow set top boxes to download the channel guide, do video on demand, etc. They actually snip your existing copper phone line too, so there's no telephone landline to be billed. However, they usually...

    Welcome to being a parent. Everything you thought was your life, is now, probably not your life. This includes essentials, like, sleeping. Because really, you can do your job on no sleep. If you can't, someone else can. Bust your ass or be unemployed. Hooray, kids!

    So you're rather challenge your child in various after school activities, that pay amazing wages down the line (artist and violinist and hockey camp), than actually challenge him in academics, even if it is only 2nd grade. MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO ME.

    Grills

    3 burners are good so you can do 2 zone grilling. Sear burner on a gas grill is important so you can do high temps for finishing steaks. Weber is a solid brand. There are other good brands, look for something that has more than a 1 year warranty.

    We tried a swing, vibrating bouncers, chest sleeping...what our twins ended up using for nighttime sleeping were the Fisher Price rock n plays. For naps, they would use their high chairs, chicco polymagic. We would push them back and forth and they'd eventually conk out. Now at almost 18 months...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Last many posts = soda vs pop. Someone is wrong, in this case I don't know nor care, but it's fucking soda. Throw some extra shit on fries and call it something else, okay, fine, but when you have to explain the difference between thanksgiving and your stupid food, you are doing it wrong.

    The girls' hematologist said not to have them take the iron with milk/formula. /shrug that's how we did it for awhile until they said something.

    Ours are still on iron supplements going on 18 months. They will take that one because it doesn't taste like alien blood like the polyvisol they used to take. They take trivisol now instead which has much more of a candy flavor. Our older twin has glasses now for her far sightedness. And of...

    Is she playing an FM radio? Perhaps you could get one of those fm transmitters and make her play something different, or at least change the station. If it's internet radio, pay off someone in IT to take care of that.
