I don’t know if my title makes sense, but I’d like to collate a lot of iphone videos of my family into one long video in the quickest and easiest way possible (I don’t want to edit any of the videos, just put them all together so they are one file so they play one after the other without needing to click anything).

I love my old family VHS tapes where you could just play it from start to finish, and it would go from one video to the next. I want to do this for my child to look back on in the future, probably on a USB, without needing to physically click on each video one by one. What is the best way to do this?

I don’t want the file to be massive either, but it will end up being quite long, so I don’t know if there’s a way to do it in lower quality or something? Clearly I’m not tech savvy at all so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also would love to be able to do it straight from my iPhone so I don’t have to transfer the videos from my phone to my laptop first. Thanks!

(TW pregnancy loss)

I have a 3 year old, she doesn’t nap in the day but sleeps well at night, I usually get to sleep from 10pm-6am with either no interruptions or maybe one if she wakes up in the night. She is not too full on, just a typical 3 year old. But I am just always so, so tired.

The past year has been pretty traumatic as I had an extremely high risk twin pregnancy that I ended up losing at 20 weeks in November, and a PPD diagnosis that I’m now medicated for (the medication has worked wonders). I feel like emotionally I am doing well now, and I feel like I have been doing well for a few months. But my fatigue just will not go away. I have had blood tests done multiple times in the last few months, everything is fine. But I feel nauseous from the fatigue daily, by 3pm I’m wrecked, each day I am just surviving on coffee and getting family to help with my daughter when possible so I can nap or rest.

Is this just what life is like as a mum? I don’t remember being this exhausted prior to my twin pregnancy. It doesn’t feel right, but anytime I bring it up to family or doctors they just say this is what being a parent and/or grieving feels like.

Hi! I bought a Camp Snap V105 today, and I want to change the filter on the camera, but it won’t connect to my Acer laptop. I’ve tried multiple different types of cords, tried with the camera on and off, it always says “FULL” and nothing comes up on my laptop.

I’ve plugged it straight into my iPhone and it works straight away, I’ve been able to import the photos onto my phone, but no luck getting it to connect to my laptop to change filters.

I haven’t taken many photos at all, probably less than 20, and they’ve all been deleted off the camera, so it’s definitely not full. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

* SPOILERS for the Waitress plot *

EDIT: Wow I did not expect so much debate! Firstly I agree with the commenters who said I misinterpreted the musical's main genre as romance. I knew nothing about the musical going in so assumed it was primarily about the romance between her and the doctor, and that's why I was so focused on it while watching (I fully 100% thought it was going to end with them together, so I was watching the whole musical through the lens of "how on earth are they going to justify the cheating to give this story a satisfying ending?!"). I enjoyed watching Jenna overcome her dreadful situation and end the musical in a better place for her and her child, as a mum it made me super emotional. Just didn't like the romanticisation of the cheating and the light-heartedness with which it was written.

I also agree with the commenters who mentioned the massive ethical issues around him being her doctor - I had quite a few issues with the musical's story and that was definitely one of them, but I only wanted to mention the cheating in this post as that was what I was specifically wanting to speak on.

To the commenters pretty much calling me an idiot or saying I'm an example of how media literacy is dead, ooooof. Talk about making me never want to post in this sub-reddit again! Differences in opinion do not necessarily mean someone is dumb or doesn't understand the nuances of a story.

Just saw Waitress in Melbourne. To preface this I want to say the talent was INCREDIBLE, the singing, acting, music and the sets were brilliant. We saw the understudy Jenna and she was fantastic.

But I was so distracted by the cheating plot. I guess the fact that Jenna’s husband was abusive made her cheating on him seem more justifiable in a way, but why on earth did the doctor have to be married?! The whole time I couldn’t stop thinking about his poor wife. At intermission I wondered whether there’d be a revelation that his wife was abusive too, or that they were divorcing or something, but… nope. She was just a lovely lady who had no idea what her husband was doing behind her back.

I looked up reviews for Waitress and lots of other issues I had with the show were mentioned, but no reviews seemed to mention the cheating element.

And I know protagonists don’t have to be perfect, and real people are flawed and make bad decisions and they kinda delve into that in the plot, but I just couldn’t enjoy the romance plot at all. And Rob Mills was SO CHARMING! If his character was single I would’ve absolutely loved their romance.

When Jenna sang “she was messy, but she was kind” I was like huh????? What about to the WIFE?! And then the whole “everyone deserves a slice of happiness” - what about the wife’s happiness 😭

Please tell me it’s not just me feeling this way about the plot lol
