Children and parents shouldn’t be “best friends”. When the children are adults, and especially after having moved out of the house, they have their own social life, their own partners, their own friends, they should stand on their own feet economically and with their households.

Of course i can understand the moving back in temporarily and needing some “familiarity” in the form of family after the break-up. However that cannot go on indefinitely as it risks falling back into being too dependent and recreating relationship patterns that befit parents and non-adult children, but not adults.

I might be a bit biased though as i moved out at the youngest age of all my siblings and i had an older sibling stay very long with my parents. Towards the end of that everyone was just getting on each others nerves but seemed unable to break out of that relationship pattern. For my parents it was the last child to move out, so they felt scared of having to deal with the fact that this phase of their live is now over and a new phase begins. In the same wake for that sibling it kept them back from finally standing on their own feet, making their own decisions and finding their own solutions. After moving out at last, everybody involved got much better for themselves.

Spending time with your parents, or adult children can be great and in our time probably happens way to little. But if it is the center of each others life, that is not good for adults imo. And well, as parent or child the rights and duties you have upon each other are different from the rights and duties you have with your best friend. Your best friend most likely didn’t wipe your butt when you were little. Your best friend is most likely not expected to do so, when you grow too old to do it yourself. Your best friend can give you great life advise, but it isn’t their responsibility to steer you towards choosing a solid path in life. And best friends should not come with the baggage of having made mistakes, that parents inadvertently make in doing so.

Finally in regards to old patterns, when i moved out, my parents “got off my back” at last. It took the physical separation to really acknowledge that i am a self responsible person now and vice versa for me not to lean into the inclination to have my parents help me sort my things out, when they are within my ability. So in regards to OPs question i see the risk of them living out a time they had, or wished that they had, when the son was just a boy. But that time is not coming back. Trying to hang onto it, will cause more harm in the long run.

As a bad metaphor: No matter how much you loved that one hoodie you had as a teenager, eventually you grew out of it. There is no fitting you back into it, no matter how hard you try. You would only make yourself suffer as it constricts your body and eventually it would tear. It is better to cherish the memory of that hoodie, but wear things that fit you now.

Since he is your husbands son, i take it that you are not the mother.

Could it be that your husband harbors bad feelings about whatever happened between the mother of his son, his son and him or that he felt, he couldn’t be there as a father back then?
Could it be that they didn’t went through the process of the adult child emancipating itself from the parents, which always is difficult?
You have described their relationship as “more like best friends”. Is your husband having good friends and social contacts aside from you and his son?
Also being best friends doesn’t necessarily work well with living together. I have seen some close friendships die out as living together removed the aspect of choice from them.

I think in addressing the situation it is important to find out what your husband sees in spending so much time with his son, but also how the son feels. From your description it does not sound like their current relation is a “healthy” father-son relationship for two adults. Of course it is good if the relationship between adult parents and children become more like friendships, but they are not the same and they should not fill that role in either sides life.

I think if you can carefully disentangle some of these aspects in talking with your husband, you could help them move on in a way that is sustainable.

That is more than a 10% loss of that customer base in 2 month.

For any industry that is huge.

I used to run SuSE and i appreciate their 100% open-source philosophy. But when i can’t run videos on websites because the codec isn’t open source, it is not suitable as a daily driver.

I feel like many programmers (or their management) have grown ignorant to resource limitations over the past decade or so.

Obviously there is good examples like many linux distros running well on 4GB RAM and the like, but when it comes to windows, websites and proprietary programs, they gobble up insane amounts of RAM to provide almost the same functionality as in 2010.

If it is very dry, doesn’t that also mean it is less likely to spread/leak into the aquifer?

E.g. dried cow-manure seems to be fine for the environment to handle.

Solar energy, temperate climates and a self regulation mechanism to distribute heat well, liquid and clean water, plants and animals providing nutrition, materials for anything from a clay hut to microchips…

Accepting either presented level of shittiness is what got us here in the first place.

Trump couldn’t have done it without Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. The House Reps would struggle more, if it wasn’t for people like Schumer. If Democrats had called out AIPAC over the past twenty years instead of drooling over the opportunity to aid and abet war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide for them, we’d never had the whole “yeah i am voting for the slow genocide” argumentation being somehow “acceptable”.

And the most important thing is that the current Democrats are not going to be a driver for positive change. They are still fighting against moderate progressives like Mamdani and pushing for neoliberal reactionaries like Newsom instead.

It is affected by how efficient your muscles are as you don’t reach a 100% energy conversion. Given the typical representation of Super-Heroes as muscular, but usually not hippo-sized, their muscles being “super efficient” would be one way of explaining why they manage to get more strength out of less muscles.

Also he worked out by lifting train carts.

They are both linked through their families colonizing history in South Africa, including staunch Nazi support in their families.

I would just not care about the biofilm and wash it regularly. If you fill the bottle from a clean source and it doesnt smell or taste strange, the water should be fine for consumption.

You know your fresh water pipes also have biofilms in them? If it isnt contaminated, the microorganisms there are harmless. So if you get clean water from the pipes and your mouth has a healthy microbiome, where should potentially harmful microorganisms come from?

Only in rare amounts from the environment when you open the bottle. For that to create a buildup will take time. If you properly wash your bottle like once a week you should be fine.

No bottle will stay clean if you dont wash it from time to time.

We live in a society and you can’t have it all your way.

Social norms are necessary when people come together.

Someones interest in not wearing pants needs to be weighted against other peoples interest not wanting to see their hairy balls halfway falling out of their slip. Imagine if that coworker whose “jokes” are just short of sexual harassment now gets to run around naked and rub his balls on your desk and you are not allowed to tell him to fuck off, because that would violate his “no-pants”-rights.

I think you are missing the point that the limits are intended.

We can observe evolution. We cannot observe if the steps are purely random.

E.g. if you mix eggs and butter and flour in a specified ratio and put it in an oven, it is not random that a cake evolves in the oven.

The eyes of mammals are designed in a way that they “see less” than for instance certain birds or reptiles.

You call this “fuck up some weird convulted way”, when it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Thereby it is consistent with the way the visual nerve cells are designed and work together with the rest of physics and chemistry. The design is intelligent as it factors in all aspects as part of a coherent complete design. A design far too complex for any human mind to grasp in full.

Basically your question is like asking, why there is no “magic solution” that directly breaks the observable laws of physics. The genius of the design is in not requiring to break the observable laws of physics to achieve the desired outcome.

You say this is “unscientific garbage” when your only alternative explanation is “everything just happened randomly and here we are.” Neither approach, “intelligent design” nor “extremely long chain of random occurrences” can be empirically observed and only argued logically. I find it unscientific to denounce a hypothesis as “unscientific garbage” when it cannot be falsified, while the counter hypothesis cannot be proven.

Jokes on you, i tried using qwant and they just straight up deny me access because using a VPN apparently is “suspicious”.

Plenty of animals have their excretion outlet and their food inlet in the same place.

For birds the cloaca is both for excretion and sex.

From the point of intelligent design:

We see that there is different sensory focuses. For instance many animals can smell and hear much better than humans do. Some animals have exceptionally better eyes than humans, but overall humans are very focused on vision.

Now when we look at modern inner city environments and the like. Would you think it to be actually better if our senses, particularly our eyes were that much better and delivering even more input to our brains? We already see many people that are overwhelmed in terms of their sensory input and frankly the ones that aren’t still suffer slowly from living in cities. In terms of where we are now, i don’t think it is too bad that we don’t have hawk eyes.
