So much time spent RR online as a kid.

 

Hey all,

I'm looking for some advice on some age appropriate punishments for my four year old when they hit/push/scratch. My older, 8 yearold is easier to pick punishments for, because we can limit or restrict certain things they like to do, but because my four year old is still in a go with the flow phase, it is a bit harder. What ideas do you have?

 

Hello! I have a sling bag that I really like, but the strap doesn't take it as close to my body as I would like. I have a sewing machine, but I have never used it for stitching seatbelt webbing. What sort of needle would I need to use, and which type of thread would be best suited for the material?

 

Hello! I am interested in creating my own cloud storage network, but I have to idea how to even start it. It's just for myself, mainly pictures and videos. Ideally what I would like to do is be able to manually and/or automatically upload pictures and videos from my phone to my home cloud storage. I have Xfinity as my service provider. What is the cheapest and simplest way to achieve this?

 

Hey all! I wanted to build/buy a retro gaming console with Raspberry Pi to play roms. What is the simplest way to do this? Can I buy a Raspberry Pi that has RetroPi installed already, then just dump my roms onto it?

Thanks ๐Ÿ‘

Four kids here. 8 (boy), 6 (girl), 4(girl), 1(girl). It really does get better. There are hard times, and sometimes you may regret it, but it always gets better. There are lots of great books out there to help you out. I've read a great deal of them, and I'd be happy to recommend as many as you need. There is a great podcast by Janet Lansbury called Unruffled. I highly recommend it.

 

Hey there! I'm looking for a compact and lightweight rod to take with me while hiking and backpacking. It will be used almost certainly only for panfish, most likely catch and release. This is something that will probably be used only a dozen times a year, so I'd prefer to spend less that 50 dollars. I'd also like it to fit either inside a backpack, or comfortably attach to it.

Thanks!

From SLR to DSLR. Advice? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello! I recently got into photography, and purchased a Minolta x700, with several MD lenses. I'm very happy with it, but I didn't realize how expensive film photography can be. I am considering to switching to DSLR once I develop my skills, and I was wondering what some good options are for entry level DSLR cameras would be.

Ideally the DSLR should or can accept my current Minolta MD lenses.

Thanks!

Edit: I'm not even sure that DSLR photography will be more cost effective, so if I'm wrong, please fill me in! I paid 24 dollars for a 3 pack of Fujifilm 200, and it is 17 dollars to develop a single roll at CVS (there are no other photo labs in the area, and they send it away, anyway).

This may seem like a silly question, but can I use this image on my website without any legal issues? Obviously I wouldn't claim any ownership over it
