Digital Family Calendar
Main Post:
I’m looking for one of those large family digital calendars and I specifically want both mine and my husband’s work calendars (Outlook) to show so that everyone knows when we have meetings. I don’t want to manually update it.
Does this exist?
Top Comment: Alternative option to one of those fancy ones: we bought a refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tab for like $100? last year and got a mount for the wall. We downloaded a calendar app on there. It does everything we need to without costing an arm and a leg. The tablet lives there permanently.
DVD versions of Family Guy on digital
Main Post:
Does anyone know of any streaming service or website where they have the uncensored DVD versions of all (or some but would be better if all) seasons of Family Guy? I know Netflix had them when it was on Netflix in the US. I don't know how it is with the remaining countries where Family Guy is still on Netflix but according to this post they switched back to the TV version in Canada. Hulu and iTunes have the censored TV versions and it still really annoys me because, at least for the older half of the show, I'm used to the DVD versions and imo they are so much better. Listening to anything uncensored and the way it was intended just sounds and feels so much better.
And no I'm not gonna buy a physical dvd because I dont want to. I prefer digital everything

Have fun then if you hate anything non digital,without buying the DVD season sets you probably will NEVER find the uncensored episodes. Only clips of the uncensored scenes,never full episodes that are 100% as uncensored just exactly like the DVD.
Can my family use one digital copy of Splatoon 2 to play on two Switches with a Nintendo Switch Online family plan?
Main Post:
I’m thinking about getting a Switch Lite to play Splatoon 2 with my son. I’m the primary account on our current Switch. If he plays on that Switch with his account and I play on the Lite with my primary account, can we play against each other as “friends” with one digital copy of the game? How about local play over Wi-Fi?

Digital nomad family
Main Post:
Does anyone travel full time with a family ?
How much do you earn/spend each month ? Please break down what that means.
Healthcare Accommodation Flights Online schooling Food Travelling in the country you are staying Etc...
I know this will vary on the country so please list the countries you did this in and the costs with it.
Please also list any other hardships that come travelling with a family full time.

Some people do pull this off. You can search this sub for examples. The vast majority of people don't because being nomadic is more complicated than having a fixed home, and having kids is more complicated than being children free.
So most people give up on being nomadic when they have children and choose either to be expats, or return to their home country.
If you want to be nomadic and have children consider who will be the full time parent and who will be the full time worker.
Beyond that, no one can give good advice without knowing how old the children are, how many children, and where you plan to travel. Advice for 2 under 2 in SEA will be different than advice for four school age children in Western EU.
Deciding our digital nomad family base for the next 2-3 years
Main Post:
Hey community, would love some advice/input. Digital Nomads since 2016, now changing a bit our normal travel rhythm as we have 16 months twins.
We are looking for a place to settle for a 2-3 years so we can build up savings towards a property that we can then use as a base (property would not necessarily be in the same country)
Below is an approximate checklist.
-3k monthly budget for a family of 4 including childcare.
-Spanish speaking country if possible
-Racially diverse or at least no racial issues
-Safe
-Access to good/decent health care
-Digital nomad visa or similar scheme
We have Peru (which we love) and Argentina in our shortlist, but would love to know if we are maybe missing other obvious destinations. Would also love to hear of any long term experiences in these countries.
Top Comment:
My man everyone would love a safe, cheap place to live. There are always trade offs. You have Latin America in the shortlist but want safety and no racial issues. Argentina is considered one of, if not the most, racist country in South America. Good luck brother let me know where you end up!
Lima vs Cuzco - Digital Nomad Family with 2 toddlers
Main Post:
Hi!
We are a digital Nomad family slow nomading with two twins under 2y. I have been nomading since 2016 but mostly in Asia, Europe and North America.
We are heading to Peru late December and we are trying to decide the time we spend in each city.
We will have been island-hooping in the Caribbean for almost a year when we get to Peru and to be honest, I know I will be craving a bit of city life (shopping, social life, museums) so we initially thought to spend 2 months in Lima and 1 month in Cuzco.
I would love to hear about your experiences in both cities before finalizing our itinerary!
Top Comment:
Keep in mind that getting around in Peru and South America generally is not as easy as the other places you mention. Longer distances, often have to be done by bus, airports aren't super nice, etc. Lima also is foggy. Maybe BA has a more fun city vibe.
I'd love to hear about your island hopping! Favorite/cheapest/easiest to settle in/safest countries?
