  • I am posting this comment before checking myself because I'm worried I'll forget what I was doing and not make the post.

    Isn't that tick bite indicative of Lyme's disease? (The bullseye welt.) Most tick bites end up looking like amped up mosquito bites, or a small wasp sting from my personal experience (small/medium welt with puncture in center, inflamed red circle radiating outward, no white ring)

    Also, what is the bug in the tick image? Doesn't look like a tick. And the bed bug silhouette looks like a stink bug.

  • My son has had access to an iPhone 6s and iPad 2 since he was 1 or so (7 now). His devices have always been moderated to prevent him from seeing inappropriate content whether by accident or on purpose, and as he gets older I ease up on the restrictions. We have had little to no issue with him being attached to the devices, and my opinion is because he had mostly free reign over his usage barring bedtime. Even to this day he prefers to be outside playing.

    I'm sure we're all familiar with getting something we all wanted later in life than most people. We get super attached. I did get my son an Xbox one rather late (he had wanted one for at least a year before he got one), and he is attached to that. Because he spent a good amount of time dreaming and fantasizing about it.

    My son is also high functioning autistic, (as am I), if that means anything. But this is my parenting style. Allow freedom within reasonable limits to promote individuality, unlike my parents. He sometimes watches the dumbest stuff on YouTube, but we all did and do. It's not up to me to mold his sense of humor, I just make sure it's appropriate for his age. Regardless if I think it's dumb or not. I'm not 7 anymore.

  • Yeah, like others have said, play them in order starting with 1. If you play them backwards or out of order, you aren't very likely to finish the first one, maybe the second, the first is kind of a slog, but worth playing. This way they just get better each time you go to the next

  • That's rich!

  • Same here, buddy...

  • Nice! How was it?

  • Nintendo has kind of always sucked as far as passionate fans are concerned. Their products are some of the best out there, sure, but they are ruthless.

    Playing devil's advocate, they're just protecting their IP. Problem is they can't spend resources or time figuring out who is or is not profiting from their work, so they just stamp out all the bugs in the house that get big enough to be noticed. I guess, I really don't know.

  • This changes everything

  • Get gud

  • Idk man. I am shoving respect into my son's head at all times, I show respect and love to my wife/his mom all the time, and he is misogynistic AF. I don't get it. I am trying so hard to raise him to be respectful towards women and he just doesn't accept it.

    He's 7, ADHD, Autistic, etc. But I really don't know if that even has anything to do with it because I am, too.

    I wouldn't say it's been debunked. Probably improbable, but in no way debunked

  • Mint was my first used, was straightforward and easy to get going. Still use mint.

    I've always read it doesn't really matter what distro you choose, just to pick one you like. That's confusing to a noob because they don't know why they should or shouldn't like a specific one.

    Mint is very simple to setup and works very much like a windows PC by default. Can even set it up to work like a Mac if you want to.

  • NileRed is one of my "keystone YouTubers."

  • Dead Cells is amazing. It's a side scrolling, action-adventure, RPG-ish Rogue-like game. I've spent so much time playing this game.

    The player takes the role of an amorphous creature called the Prisoner. As the Prisoner, the player must fight their way out of a diseased island in order to slay the island's King. The player gains weapons, treasure and other tools through exploration of the procedurally-generated levels. Dead Cells features a permadeath system, causing the player to lose all items and other abilities upon dying. A currency called Cells can be collected from defeated enemies, allowing the player to purchase permanent upgrades.

    I personally played it on my phone with a controller, but it's available on all major consoles iirc

  • I get what you're saying, but it's not a black and white situation. Drugs and porn are not the same category. One will have life-changing effects, the other usually won't.

    Plus, parents have the ability to mostly control a child's access to inappropriate content, as well as tobacco shops.

    It applies in the real world and the Internet on a case by case basis depending on the inherent dangers of the content.

    How to read this Landis & Gyr electric meter?

    My provider keeps screwing me with estimated readings in excess of $400+, when my actual usage has been consistently under $200/mo. Granted they do credit the average when they actually take a real reading, I'm not a loan company and I'm getting frustrated overpaying.

    Is this a fuse? If so, what kind? if not, what is it?

    I'm learning about electronic components. I believe this is the part which has broken and made this heating pad unsafe to use. Well, unusable, not just unsafe lol.

    I made a boat elevator for Minecraft Bedrock 1.20

    I tried posting to the Minecraft subreddit, but the post would get deleted immediately. I just want to show someone!

    It's mostly silent, minus the dispensers clicking and occasional water splash, but it's much smoother than a flying machine, and not to terribly slow, rising at a little over 2 blocks per second. It's a good way to transport things vertically

    How to add hard-coded website to square space?

    I have a couple sites on Google and since they sold to square space I thought I'd try to keep my stuff there. But I can't figure it out. Square space is a site builder with a GUI and I can't find anywhere to just deploy my site to them as a react app. I have found a few areas where I can add some code, but they are for specific areas of the provided templates. I've even tried to use developer mode, but it looks like you still need to follow their template rules to get anywhere.

    It's been a huge headache, Google made it so easy.

    Does anyone know of any kid-friendly "horror" games out there for children ~7 years old?

    My son loves the adrenaline rush of getting scared, particularly with jump scares, however, I have a lot of difficulty finding a game or show which is appropriate for him. He is prone to nightmares, and more adult-oriented "kid horror" is too much (Poppy's Playtime, Cartoon Cat?) And others like Siren Head. His peers exposed him to those things and made my own nights pretty sleepless for a while.

    It's a tough plate to fill, but surely there's gotta be something. He's played Luigi's Mansion and got a kick out of that. That game would be a good example I suppose.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Do not fire your propulsion Cannon at your cyclops if you have lockers on the interior walls...!

    I know I'm playing this very late. Anyway I was pretty deep in a certain cave (1,200 ft) with a leviathan and I was taking care of some stowaways on the hull of the sub. Thinking it'd be more fun to use the cannon instead of the knife, I blasted away. A couple seconds later I watched in horror as all my lockers clip through the cyclops and sink to the bottom.

    The leviathan would attack on every pass and the lockers would either get blasted away even farther apart or respawn entirely. In the end, they all despawned... I was working on building a base with a platform shield over top so I could collect everything again, but it all went poof.

    Luckily, I saved within the last 30 minutes... But if I hadn't have, I would have lost all the resources (about 40+ lockers full) and I probably would have just quit the game lol.

    I'm a new developer and I need help learning how to get code running in the cloud

    I have looked at Google Cloud Run, Microsoft Azure and Kamatera so far. These are free trials, and I deleted and removed all projects after playing with them.

    I am working on a chatting application for my portfolio. I'm using MERN to create the app and I can run it locally and connect to the local server with any device on the network. Before I got into this I didn't realize setting up a cloud server was going to be so confusing, and that's after trying to watch tutorials on youtube and going through documentation.

    On google, people have talked about VM Instances, (Bare Metal Solution?) Servers, networks, VPC's, VPC Networks, serverless VPC, etc. and I have explored all of these things and I just don't understand why it's so hard to get a node.js file running somewhere remote.

    Microsoft Azure and Kamatera were pretty much the same experience.

    I'm not the smartest or faster person, I've got cognitive issues, but if anyone can kind of give me some simple steps or explanations to get

    I'm a beginner web developer and coder and just want to show this little work-in-progress Pokemon app I'm building to help me learn React and API integration

    I am currently trying to build a search component so users can search for Pokemon (since it is currently paginated with 20 per page.) I'm having some difficulty figuring it out, but I'm making progress.

    All the information is auto-populated. It's probably an easy thing for seasoned developers, but I'm proud to have linked the card colors, types and backgrounds to their relevant Pokemon.

    Edit: search function is working now! But I I need to add "toLowerCase()"... And add prefix to the type images of some types. Otherwise, it's working decently! The search field works in real-time, so the page is a little sluggish to load. You can search by Name, ID, Type or Ability, just start typing and your results will appear.

    I opted for a single search field for simplicity and to condense the page. I can add filters, but I like it this way for now.

    ~~Next I am adding a click-to-zoom on the cards, and when they fill the screen, additional info will populate the card, and even more info on the ba

    35 y/o male on the spectrum

    Hey, saw this community and that it was nearly empty so wanted to add a little about myself to break the ice.

    I'm high-functioning according to scientific terms, but man it's a struggle every day. I am very socially inept in most situations, I've become a kind of hermit. But that's fine with me because ai have my wife and son and that's all I need.

    I also have ADD and Bipolar Disorder, and although not specifically diagnosed, i wonder about ASPD and AVPD as well. To top it all off, I also have constant brain fog with short moments of clarity, and aphantasia.

    Yes this all really sucks, but it's not all bad. I have a supporting wife, and awesome (and crazy) son who is just like me... Which makes me upset about what he may go through in life, but also glad because I can give hime real, understanding support he won't get from most people.

    I spent 8 years as a carpenter (retail before, but couldn't keep it up due to the customer contact.) And I am now a certified web developer and cont
