STR posted:Ultimately, I guess stability may mean moving back in with her mother. She's STILL trying to pretend we can make a 2 bedroom apt work. That's a hell to the loving no. I'm not putting myself through that (I've tried that song and dance before, it doesn't end well), and definitely not putting her through that. It would be nothing but heartache for her anytime I actually wound up dating, and it would just be awkward all the way around. I've tried living with ex's before after a breakup, and out of every ex I've tried to live with after a breakup, I speak to exactly zero of them. It hurts really bad to inflict this kind of pain on someone, I'm usually the one getting dumped, but... damnit. I appreciate your devotion to the campground principle of leaving a relationship with the other person as good as or better than when you found them, but you've done a hell of a lot to make things good. This is a grenade that you don't have to jump on

My wife started playing Animal Crossing, which is awesome because she really seems to get into it. Apr-June was supposed to be her chunk of time to go to medical conferences, etc. and that's not happening any time soon. She's also "on vacation" this week, which is an incredibly meaningless term. A few of my friends from college have been playing since it came out and I need to figure out how to introduce them so they can give each other stuff. I'm a little jealous that she finishes all the quests on our island before I can get to them though!

STR posted:TBH I think taking a 1-2 month leave of absence and going into some kind of psychiatric treatment (maybe a week inside a private facility, the rest outside, but still off of work) would be better. She has more than enough PTO (she's grandfathered in under a plan that isn't "use it or lose it", I think she has like 6 months saved up), she's enrolled in short and long term disability, her insurance will cover mental health... we have almost identical medical benefits aside from deductibles, right down to the insurance company. Yeah, try and convince her to take her PTO and take a leave of absence so it leaves her options open. She can go stay with her mom - Sounds like a good place for her to be right now and means that it is not your problem and wont become it. If she has that much PTO stored up she might as well use it up and then at the end of it she can either leave or come back to the job

I've forced myself to PC game only so I don't start spending a bunch of money on consoles. I'm cheap and pretty content with old stuff, though. My trusty six+ year old Radeon R7 265 is dying so I just had to order a new video card, but it beats paying for a new console.

Even her boss, and boss's boss, can't perform her job. But this sounds like the best thing mentioned so far. Sometimes I hate being a caring rear end in a top hat. Okay, most of the time.

We got a Switch a few months after it came out and it sees mixed usage. Sometimes I go months without touching a video game, and sometimes a play a bunch. It's still a really solid purchase.

Thought of putting this in the failure thread but figured here. Sat through an internal company web presentation today, developed from our American head office. Something jumped out at me immediately as soon as I saw this page. I can't believe I was the first person to notice this but I told them afterwards and they had absolutely zero clue. Tell me what I saw (slightly obfuscated to remove identifying company stuff).

Anyone have one of those gas flat top griddles made for outdoor use? I've noticed lots of them for sale lately so they must be a thing now, would be pretty cool to whip poo poo up like it was a diner flat top, breakfast and smashburgers and all that kinda stuff.

My wife doesn't really play games, but has played the last 3 Animal Crossing games. She already has almost 300 hours logged in the new one. She gets absurdly into it. Its great, but means I never get any time on the Switch. Not a huge problem since Metroid got delayed though.

It fell out the back of someones ute as wasn't tied down, then dropped into a skip. It's sat under my house all busted up since, and only last few months we've got it working and got rid of the old belt drive. And before someone mentions it - yes a chain guard does exist.
