MY spouse and I are at the stage of life where we're considering becoming parents, and I'm curious what we can be doing now to prepare financially before fully embracing the Messy Middle. We're currently in step 7, saving 25% for retirement (with employer match in that count), and we're building up cash to someday replace my wife's car whenever it goes out. What are some things we should be doing now to be financially as ready as possible for parenthood?

I'm looking for a lemonade drink mix that doesn't contain sugar but also doesn't come in individual packets, as I feel bad making all that trash every time I make some lemonade. I was hoping to find something like those big Old Country tubs of lemonade mix.

I'm interested in setting up Pi Hole on our home network, and while I'm confident in my ability to set it up, I don't think my expertise runs far beyond following the provided instructions. We have a number of devices on our network running Covenant Eyes, which is a service that filters explicit content. I believe it works by routing all device traffic through its own DNS; I know that in the past, trying to modify device level DNS settings ended up causing issues with the service.

I'm curious if the Pi Hole doing DNS rerouting at the network level might interact poorly with the Covenant Eyes service.

Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question.

I recently used the SMS Backup & Restore app to create a backup file on my Samsung phone. In the app, I can see the file, and it shows my an abbreviated path to it. The thing is, when I use a file browser (either the built-in one, or through Windows Explorer via USB), I can't find said path.

Does anyone have experience with this app and know how I might be able to find this backup file it created?

I bought a car out of state 2 months ago. After 30 days, they finally got the paperwork in, and it was incorrectly filled out. It sounds like they have a third party who manages their titling paperwork, and something got screwed up in the process. They were able to issue me new temporary plates, but now those expire in a matter of days. I've called and they've promised someone will get back to me. At this point, beyond taking time out of my day to repeatedly call them, is there anything I can do to get my title?
