I feel for you, man. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully you feel a little better after letting it out.

Are you seeing someone about your anxiety? That seems like the primary issue. My spouse is a stay-at-home parent while I work full time and I still have all the responsibilities on your list. It's often stressful, but that's being a parent. If it's pushing you into anxiety attacks then you definitely need to address that first.

You'll also have to be clear on your limits. If she wants you to organize playdates and you don't have any time left then make it clear they won't get organized. There are only so many hours in a day.

If it's just piano then it's basically Muzak. The bus itself may even be playing some imperceptibly which you can harmonize with.

I've tried headphones with babies before and it's hit or miss. One would howl instantly if you put them on him while another loved them.

Seems like you found the least intrusive way to keep your kid calm, which I think most people will appreciate.

Great game. I like that you aren't generally allowed to talk, so everyone ends up with their own conflicting plans.

Siouxsie is such a strange phenomenon. Nobody I know has ever heard of her, and I think I only heard her on the radio once growing up. But whenever I look up a band or artist on Wikipedia she's listed as an inspiration. Just monolithic across the industry yet I feel like I'm the only normal person who knows she exists.

For once I am actually happy I turned the sound on.

I Think You Should Leave is such a gold mine of meme templates.

That looks great. How did get such good adhesion? My bed is super uneven so I switched to glass and had incredible results, but I have to babysit the first few layers because 50% of the prints are wrapped around the nozzle by the end.

I had to preheat for 20 minutes when I was using a glass bed. Took ages but the results were so smooth.

Yeah, it was all tapes. We only had to use them once when I worked there: after finding out the UPS connected to the mainframe was a dud. And then it really was roulette because the first two tapes were unreadable, so we ended up with three week old data.

The trouble is that Management's only job seems to be turning their problems into our problems. Or maybe it's just the only thing they're good at.

I'd believe it's real. In 2016 I was at a company trying to migrate off an old IBM mainframe and green screens. It wasn't like an airline with complex or critical code; it was just a barely functional ERP for a warehouse. Source control was the furthest thing from their minds. Some companies and IT departments are very reluctant to change, regardless of how much time and money it save.
