I never started using it. It’s the cancer version of messaging.

I sometimes get weird looks from people when I tell them I refuse to use it.

Signal is the way to go.

Look on the right side. Graffiti says “Carlos Perez” and the flag has the word “presidente” in it. Neither Dubai nor Mumbai since nobody there would write graffiti in Latin alphabet or in Spanish for that matter.

You are not missing something, they are.

The first couple of years are the most important for a child’s development. The more you can be there for your kid, the better. And sharing the load of child rearing will increase the bond between you and your spouse. It’s disgusting to see American men reduce “supporting the family” to just bringing home money. Your family needs so much more than that!

I applaud you for taking paternity leave. Most of the criticism towards you is probably a mixture of ignorance and jealously. Take your 12 weeks and come back with a smile on your face and brag how awesome that time was - because it will be.

For comparison: I live in Austria, childcare leave can last from a year to two years and parents can split it 18mo/6mo for instance. Add to that 8 weeks of mandatory “birth time protection” before and after the predicted birth date where mothers aren’t allowed to work by law but receive full salary. I WISH my wife and I could have split our maternity/paternity leave but it didn’t work out financially back then.

This. When I got my CPR training, the consensus was: if you hear or feal something crack, don’t stop. Messing up is better than doing nothing.

I used my Pixel 5 as a mobile recording rig. Plugged in my audio interface via USB-C (which powered it as well), two wireless XLR receivers and used the app n-track to record an interview with an astronaut at an ESA event (lav mic on myself and the astronaut).

In that moment, I felt like a pro.

Unfortunately, the interview didn’t get a lot of views on my YouTube channel haha
