Threema is awesome. They even have a Mastodon account: mastodon.social/
Here are the settings I recommend during app and account setup:
• Tap next instead of making a Threema Safe password, and Tap Yes, you really want to continue without enabling Threema Safe • Tap next instead of entering your phone number, and tap Yes to confirm you don’t want to enter your phone number • Turn off “Sync contacts”
Make sure to scan each other’s QR codes in person to get your three green dots.
Since you have to pay for the app, it’s less likely you’re the product.
Babies are definitely much more aware of body language at a young age. They’ll cry even before learning words if you express that they should cry. Example: they hit themselves with a shovel you run over, worried, and ask if they’re okay, they think “oh I was supposed to be in pain” and will cry. If you’re chill in that situation the kid might not even be aware they could reasonably cry in that situation
Oh yeah, that has happened with my son 😂. Like he starts crying when you go over to check if he’s OK and hug him. The same thing happens and I don’t do that, he just carries on doing whatever he wanted to do 😂… or forgets what it was he wanted to do (the hit interrupts his thought process 😂) and just does something else 😂.
Depends what you mean by body language. I think that most can recognise basic facial expressions like happiness and fear before they can talk, and understand things like pointing and reaching for things to express interest etc.
I didn’t think of Slack, but that’d be nice… I already have it open all the time for work and a friend’s server. Kid probably needs an email address to sign up, but it’s about time to get one of those too… thanks!
You must have developed a way to read at least facial expressions. I should have added that in the title, since that is probably the first thing babies learn, but I was in a hurry.
You can make pasta with flour, water, and salt. Add yeast, and you can make country loaf bread. Add a little sugar, butter, & milk, and you can make white sandwhich bread, or dumplings for soup. These are absurdly easy recipes, almost impossible to mess up. Change the portions, and you have sugar cookies, like you said! Splurge on chocolate chips and you can have chocolate chip cookies. Get some baking soda, and you can make crackers.
Flour’s about 80¢/lb. Salt is $10 for 26 oz, which will last many, many recipes. Yeast is $1.50/oz. For $25, you can make about 25 loaves of bread, and still have a bunch of salt left over.
Flour is the single best, and most versitile, calorie-to-dollar value food.
Do you mean bare bones no cash for big output cheap food?
or do you mean “I can swing a big initial output of money to save tons”?
If its the first one, find a dollar general with a fridge/frozen food section. You can make quite a few good, low intiail cost meals from what you can get from there.
if you mean “I can swing a big upfront payout to get a lot of stuff thats bargain barrel price per unit”, then buying a whole pig or cow and having it butchered is probably the best way to get a ton of meat, dollar per pound wise.
There is a disproportionate amount of wealth concentrated in the older generation and those who will inherit it will probably be even worse with that money than the last generation.
Don't worry, this isn't going to happen. Inheritance, I mean. Almost all of that generations wealth is going to be eaten by elder care. At $10k per month, and zero of that being covered by Medicare until you're basically destitute, nursing homes are going to demolish that store of wealth and their descendants will be left with nothing.
