I guess it's the cops doing God's work : don't date women with kids.

You really don't want a titanium stroller. Especialy in Europe or if you intend to frequently travel by plane. If it's anything like in France, look at what the yoyo stroller looks like, go to a place with a bunch of toddlers and notice 70%+ have this one, in the nice neighborhood. It's...

Yoyo babyzen is very nice, that's the absolute maximum you should allow your wife to pick, I got it for like 350€, basic one, and it's true the quality is good, it's quite light and it's convenient in planes. Those I know that picked uber expensive one, ended up regretting it, especially the...

Considering the outcome we're seeing in this forum, and probably around us, I would say, unless the kid is obviously not functional in society at all, do nothing is the best... I doubt any of us got any 'help' in any way, and indeed most would be diagnosed with various shit. My daughter was...

I've pretty much always spent more time with our daughter than my wife, sometimes A LOT more time, I've been working about a total of 600 hours a year since she was born, vs 1600ish for my wife, and I can tell you that our daughter has been glued to me from pretty much day 1. To me it seems...

Consequences of parenting might not be as long lasting as commonly thought, but short term consequences are very real, and bad parenting will easily turn your life into hell for one or two decades...

It's also worth noticing that China has been dominating the country for 20 years (they're about 80% of the FDI, they're selling weapons, they sent 10.000 to 20.000 people there). I'm sure these investment are really paying off for China. Oh, they're already giving up after 20 years ! I guess...

https://onemileatatime.com/boeing-737-max-pilot-simulator/ Seems to confirm what the guy from Mentour pilot was saying, 737 max isn't bad at flying, nor even especialy difficult to fly, it's just not the same beast as the others 737, so pilots should have a specific training for the 737 max. The...

No one was saying that race is the only factor, that being said, in the absence of serious studies it's difficult to say how much it is. I was looking into this kind of stuff for the savings, and it does seem that it's correlated...

Same gene but nowhere near the same environment. I guess that's your way of saying that massive social pressure + very religious people is good for the families ?

Still no end of 737 grounding in sight : https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/new-snags-add-to-uncertainty-over-boeing-737-maxs-return-to-service/ Faulty wiring on both max and NG, would require 7k planes to be fixed, probably not the most expansive thing to fix...

I have a friend married to a japanese woman, that always fly to korea and then to japan, cheaper than flying straight to japan. If you're in Busan, you can get a boat to Fukuoka for very cheap, like $50, 3 hours of boat.

And that's for the "reasonable" people, what I'm seeing is often in the line of : Get approved for X, look for stuff around X, find out that 1.15X is extra shiny, look for another bank that will approve 1.15X... End up eating noodles for the next decade.

Ah no, sorry the interests aren't flat, they're compounded. But at 1% it doesn't make much of a difference. Actually it's sorta half, the insurance is flat and the interest are compounded. Insurance is only around 0.5%, but in some cases it's getting more expensive than the interests themselves...

Yeah we had some seriously shaddy stuff going on in the 80's, now banks aren't really allowed to do anything but flat, fixed interest rates. Anyway you'd have to be retarded to get a variable rate loan, when the interest rate is around 1%... My parents had some really funny stuff in the early...

There is a "buying tax", about 8.5%, and usually real estate will indeed take around 3% (up to 6% in the country where real estate is cheap), so you're taking a 12% hit the moment you're buying. I just made the computation for the purchase I made exactly 3 years ago (appartment): Downpayment...

Buying a house should be a codly calculated move indeed, but there are certainly a lot of instance in which owning a house for much less than the duration of the loan is good. What you should compute is how much renting would cost, how much buying would cost, how long do you plan to live in that...

You're black or something ?

Especialy if it's taxes !

Kinda agree with you, there's a storm coming, but... It could very well be in 20 years from now, look at Japan; 200% debt, low interests rates for decades, there's absolutely no telling when that madness will end.

The future of food in the globalists Green utopia

Boeing is getting a lot of money directly from the tax payer. And they both should ! Else we're going to fly in chinese planes soon...

Managing through excel spreadsheet and trying to get a 15% IRR is what started the western decline. 15% IRR doesn't sound like a bad idea on the paper but the end game is that the present is worth a lot and the future not so much, i.e. turning us into Africa.

737 max still not allowed to fly, a nice summary of the dilemas that Boeing is currently facing. Considering the risks, it probably mean that Boeing think that the odd of the 737 being allowed to fly within 3 months is low, I guess the airlines are now wondering whether they'll be allowed to...

Why the fuck do they have to end each episode on a cliffhanger, when they release them all at once. Especialy on a good show, who's going to not watch them in max 3 days ?

I'm really enjoying Fairy Gone, S1 was mostly setting things up, S2 is really good.

They might not want to play SNES game in 2 years, when they've been exposed to modern video games. And quite honestly that'd be a shame. I'd say that if you are allowing them to watch TV, there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't substitute TV time with some video games time, there is simply no...

Does anyone know someone who played too much video games ? To me it's a legend, never met the guy. Quite the opposite actually, I've met a bunch of people that were on a pretty bad path when they picked video games... and now they've got a disturbingly normal life... And we all know it, 6 hours...

15 minutes in EP 1. It's weird, it does sound like Star Wars.

This shit has been around forever and I don't think many people lose sleep over greedy idiots losing money. What I'm wondering here is a more elaborate scam in which regular investor are losing money. Someone manipulate a stock into indexes, triggering a massive buying of it, they are now...

Probably some individuals thought they could make some quick buck on it, as its price should have increased if they joined an MSCI index, but this article Bloomberg - Are you a robot? says Vanguard and other managers of ETF buying. So it mght also be "cautious" investors who lost money. Or maybe...

I guess those ~$5B haven't been lost for everyone... That's the kind of shit we'd need data as to who was holding the shares when it crashed.

Monster is really a great anime. An anime you're not supposed to binge, but it is hard not to... Here are a few (non obvious) oldies I like very much : Paranoia Agent Haibane Renmei Now & Then, Here & There Juuni Kokki Uchuu No Stellvia Witch Hunter Robin Black Lagoon Spice and Wolf Noir...

Yeah, so do I, but she's bottom 5% in size and bottom 1% in weight. She's not skinny, just not a lot of fat compared to her peers.

I don't mind if she's not clearing her place personnaly, but what she doesn't eat isn't going to be substitued by something else. If she wants something extra, like a biscuit or some chocolate, she's got to finish her plate.

Gotta love the broccoli and blueberry meal... The diaper the next day is... Oh I don't even want to think about it.

The very first food my daughter was allowed to eat on her own was boiled vegetables and fruits, she very much liked be able to eat on her own and not be fed. So now she loves boiled vegetables and fruits. It's even a problem, because sometimes she'll eat 1 pound of broccoli, be full and not eat...

Cold winter ahead ? https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/uk-braced-coldest-winter-50-17120351

My daughter, getting close to 3, is bitting other kids. The problem is that she does it in "self defence", I've witnessed it twice yesterday, she's playing with a toy, a kid comes near her and try to take the toy off her hands. So she bites her. Then she's sitting in a chair, a kid is trying to...
