 Is it reasonable to ask for a title change without a raise?

 Yes. Ask for the specific title you want and tie it to current responsibilities and client visibility. Give two or three recent examples and state you are not requesting compensation now, only alignment for external credibility. Propose a review date for pay at the next cycle.

 Idk, this worked for me. I quantify tasks with durations and constraints, then present two options. For email, I write: 'Two-week option delivers X and Y, full scope with Z is six weeks due to time zones and the 72-hour compliance review. Which do you prefer.' In a live meeting I say the same in one breath and stop talking. Silence forces a choice and keeps it neutral.

 I actually paint alongside my kids & durability plus easy cleanup matter... Student level acrylics check those boxes and still look bright once dry. Look for water based and low odor, and labels that mention washability from skin and common clothing fibers, it makes spontaneous sessions less stressful. Quick drying helps attention spans although it can feel rushed at first, so start with small areas and simple shapes to learn timing. For color choices, start with a basic set and add a larger white. We burn through white mixing pastels and soft tints, every time.
 My baby monitor keeps losing signal at night and it's driving me crazy—how can I fix this?

 Night dropouts usually stem from interference or a slight power sag when night vision kicks in. Fix it by setting the router to a fixed 20 MHz channel like 1 or 11, spacing the units from routers and chargers & using a shorter thicker cable with the original adapter on wall power, and avoiding metal or glass between them.

 YEP, been there.
Quick technical notes for best results which, yeah set the valve to closed with the pin up before attaching anything. Seat the locking adapter with a firm quarter turn and support the hose so it is not tugging while the pump vibrates.
Dual stage pumps usually switch on their own. If yours needs a choice, run high volume until the hull is full and the deck feels rigid, roughly mid single digits on the gauge, then go high pressure to finish. For a 10 foot 6 board, 12 to 15 PSI gives good stiffness. Stay under the printed maximum. I go near the top of that range if the water is cold since pressure sags after launch.
To avoid losing air, keep the valve closed, straighten the hose, press inward a hair to unload the tabs, twist off smoothly, and cap right away. A brief puff is fine. Big rush means the O ring is missing or dry or the adapter never fully locked. Works great.
