On vacation with my 3 kids

Life After Divorce

My ex and I took a number of vacations as a family, and I always remember them being stressful and anxious. The kids (3 boys, 10, 9 and 3) always seemed to be acting too crazy, to needy, constantly annoying everyone. She always complained I didn't do enough, didn't help her with the kids, that she never got a break

My ex and I got divorced in May and the summer with the kids has been eye opening. My second week with the kids coincided with the sale of our house, and so I emptied it early and took the kids to Puerto Rico. This has been the most relaxing, enjoyable va

I (37M) just got out of a meeting with my lawyer where we talked about my options. My wife (37F) and I have been married 11.5 years and have 3 kids (3,8,10.) When we first got together, we had similar jobs, she was better paid, and she had the better education. But she wanted kids, so she focused on keeping a job that she loved, that had good subsidized childcare, despite the fact that it paid half the industry average (we both work as Software Developers.)

Shortly after we were married, she started an affair with one of my groomsmen. That lasted for 5 years, and I knew it was going on, but she lied about it until the very end. We went to counseling at my request, but she kept telling

As an existing (11 year) customer I couldn't get verizon to give me the new customer pricing or anything close to it, so I'm cancelling my account and my wife set up an installation for a few weeks from now for the $80/month gigabit plan. My 2 year contract expires a week after my wife's scheduled installation. My existing setup is that I have ethernet from the ONT into an ubiquiti edge router lite, and then into my home network's switch panel. I have the ONT and the fiber set up exactly where I want it, and I would prefer not to have a second one installed. My ONT is only 3 years old, and should be capable of gigabit. What are the chances that the installer can re-use the existing ha

My house has 14 smoke detectors, all interconnected. Last night, I wasn't paying close enough attention to one of the burners on the stove and the oil in the pan started smoking. For the next 10 minutes, I was running around the house with a chair disconnecting and ripping the batteries out of screaming smoke detectors to get them to shut up. This happens about 3 or 4 times a year, and it's infuriating.

I know Nest's protect detectors used to be able to dismiss alerts, but they took that feature away for safety reasons. Anyway, I'm not about to spend $1400 to rent a bunch of devices from a company that will break them as soon as it suits their business case.

Is there a ZWave or Wifi smo

I have a Google watch, a Google phone, a Google music subscription, a Google TV and Google speakers. Pretty much the only thing I want to do with Google assistant or OK Google is play music on my speakers while I'm cooking and my hands are too busy/messy to touch my phone, but Google can't make these devices/services work together with voice control.

Google: Instead of focusing on getting your AI to tell jokes, how about you make it do something, anything, for those of us who have been buying your crap for years!

My wife has been struggling with coverage on her iPhone 5s ever since an early July "Carrier Data Update." Places that she used to get full signal, like our back yard, are now "no coverage" or EDGE only. I have a Moto X Pure, and my signal has only gotten better since the same time period. We recently traveled to Northern NH, and while I had band 2 and 4 in lots of places along I-93, she was only getting coverage where my phone read Band 4 (Using LTE Discovery). Our home zipcode is 01720, but we were traveling up to 03838.

We called T-Mobile support over the weekend and they suggested resetting the network settings on the iPhone, but the guy we talked to had no idea what LTE bands even

r/MotoX•

My 16GB MotoX Pure ran itself out of disk space trying to restore applications from my 16 GB Nexus 5, and the nexus 5 had 2GB of cached music on it. As far as I can tell, the Nexus 5 16GB shipped with 13GB of "total space", meaning 3GB used for the OS and the recovery partition. But my MotoX has a measly 9.6 GB. I've moved every app I can to my 64GB SD card, but I still end up with ~460MB free on the internal storage.

Why is motorola shipping these devices with 6.4GB of space reserved for the OS when the same OS on the Nexus 5 only needed 3GB? Is there a way to recover the space, up to and including flashing a third party ROM?

Edit: it looks like us

I'm looking to build a good system to get back into PC gaming, as I've been using laptops and Macs for the past 6 years or so. At the moment, I'd like to play games like Minecraft, Portal2, Quantum Connundrum, etc, but eventually to play MMORPGs like Guild Wars or SWG.

I have an ATX Lian Li case from 2002 that I'm going to re-use, as well as an EVGA Geforce 8800 GT that I got from a friend, and 2x 750GB SATA drives.

I'll probably add an SSD if loading times become a problem, or when I have some spare cash for one, and replace the GPU in about a year
