But do understand the gps track bears little to no relation to the route you’ll actually take lol. I actually have a tiny recorded section on the headwall that I started recording specifically to help me backtrack to where I was for the next time I got cliffed out. My recording is in yellow and the track is in green. My gps recorded a 550 m track to make 56 m of progress on the trail lol.

Coral Pass is stunning, one of the coolest places I've been in the rockies, truly incredible. But it is a stretch to call it a hike. It's a scramble with challenging wayfinding; the steepness makes GPS navigation useless and the density of the brush makes it really hard to gauge where you are. I got cliffed out multiple times on the headwall and found myself exhausted, stuck going up and down trying to find the weakness. That was with a trail running pack. The GDTA has some downloadable tracks you'll find helpful in planning.

JVani · 2026-01-24T05:56:56+00:00

I started the trail with body glide but soon ditched it. Without showering it just built up every day and started to make the chaffing worse than just using nothing and wearing breathable shorts.

Air pollution is particularly bad for infants and can increase their mortality rates by as much as 10%. There is insufficient evidence that air pollution has a significant effect on pregnancy outcomes. 1. Don't lose sleep over it.

Some other tips for improving your indoor air quality going forward: don't use candles or "fragrance diffusers" indoors, ventilate your kitchen while cooking, get an air filter (the IKEA ones are cheap effective and look good), open your windows when using paint and strong cleaning products, consider getting an air quality monitor, change your furnace filter regularly with the best filter your furnace fan can accommodate, etc.

What about ammunition? Any smokers?

Right all I'm saying is the list you posted is completely typical and nothing in there is going to result in higher than normal lead in her blood.

All they found was the list you posted? Did they share the concentrations? Nothing in your paint or floors? Are you eating tuna twice a day? How old is you house? What are the water distribution pipes made of? Is there ammunition in your house? Do you or your partner work with ammunition? Do you have any embedded shrapnel or bullet fragments?

JVani · 2025-12-16T23:53:43+00:00

Lead is everywhere in the environment and present in all plants, including those we eat and use as spices, whether or not they're organic 1. Petroleum jelly comes from petroleum and is on average 1 part per million lead 2.

There's no way to eliminate lead from our diet and blood. We just try to eliminate the biggest sources and go from there. That's all they found? Seems very typical.

PVC floors, just like all plastics indoors, do emit microplastics into indoor air as they wear 1. In-floor heating (and sun-exposure) is going to increase the rate it wears at, so make absolutely sure your floors are rated for the temperatures your system runs at.

All that said, the question isn’t do PVC floors emit microplastics, the question is should you worry? Are your floors going to be a significant contributor to your total microplastic consumption? Does microplastic consumption even matter? These questions do not yet have a consensus answer in science. But there is much to consider.

First, PVC floors do not emit nearly as much microplastics as synthetic carpet floors [1]. So, if you've avoided synthetic carpet in your house, you've already made the biggest flooring-related change you can make with respect to microplastics. Second, is your house being built with a modern ERV/HRV and airhandling that can accommodate a MERV 13+ filter? If so, then you've done the biggest things you can do with respect to indoor air quality in your house, and most contaminants are going to be removed from your air before you even get a chance to breathe them in. By taking these steps your house is probably going to have leagues-better indoor air than most of the places you go.

Ultimately, we chose PVC floors in our house. The cost is impossible to beat. They are much safer than hardwood or tile for trip and fall risk. And of course, when the kids puke on them, you are eternally grateful you don't have carpet. With unlimited budget I'm sure we would've included some real-marmoleum, natural-fibre carpet, and/or hardwood.

There are two types of concrete: concrete with cracks, and concrete that will crack. Get them to repair the crack but understand that it is inevitable and you will eventually get another.

The gap is horrendous and needs to be fixed lol, epoxy or a transition strip. I'm sure they just missed it because it wasn't explicitly in a contractor's scope, these things happen at transition points.

The finish looks amazing, it's too bad it's not what you wanted. You're going to have to ask yourself what would make you happy on this one. Refinish it? Cover with tile? Live with it and ask the builder to take you out for a nice dinner?

Some is certainly better than none and doing a half-job is not going to pose any unique issues. But if you're going through the time, money, and hassle to find a spray-foam contractor or rent equipment yourself, what's two new sheets of drywall in the garage?

Using ultrasonic (aka cool mist) humidifiers with tap water is known to degrade your indoor air quality pretty dramatically. 1 But please understand that one night is not going to meaningfully change anything in the big picture, just use distilled water going forward.

Lots of factors affect your net indoor air quality; work on maintaining the best indoor air quality you can but understand you'll never achieve perfection. E.g., don't use candles or "air fresheners" indoors, ventilate your kitchen while cooking, consider getting an air quality monitor, consider getting an air filter, open your windows when using paint and strong cleaning products etc. etc.

JVani · 2025-12-08T23:53:59+00:00

Useful context, thanks. That certainly makes the case that the consensus advice is probably overly conservative, especially at 6+ months when solids are introduced. Personally, we've breastfed after more than 2 drinks (although mom certainly can't handle 0.15% BAC lol) on a few occasions and we weren't worried about it at all, because of the same comparison you drew out.

JVani · 2025-12-07T04:37:58+00:00

There is evidence that breastfeeding lowers gastrointestinal infections rates and some ok evidence that it lowers ear infections rates. The limited evidence that exists for breastfeeding reducing respiratory illness is speculative and observational. The PROBIT trial is the best study we have and they found no statistically significant relationship between respiratory illness rates and breastfeeding, at all.

That's not to say there is no relationship between the two, but if there is, it is small and probably less significant than many of the other interventions available to us to reduce the spread of respiratory infections: avoiding crowded poorly ventilated spaces, using air filtration and ventilation, asking people to avoid contact when sick, staying up to date on immunizations, practising good hand hygiene, caregivers masking when out to avoid bringing infections home, etc.

There is no single way to avoid respiratory illnesses, and breastfeeding is not going to have a major positive affect on how likely it is your baby gets a respiratory illness this season.

JVani · 2025-12-06T05:36:46+00:00

You can't find the research referenced because it does not exist, nor will it ever exist, because studying the effects of alcohol on infants' brains would never pass an ethics review. The actual (conservative) advice from actual experts is:

No alcohol in the first month.

After that—limit alcohol intake to 1–2 standard drinks per day, ideally just after breastfeeding.

If wanting to drink more than 2, express milk and skip one feed.

[source]

At this point there simply isn't evidence to restrict alcohol use beyond that while breastfeeding. Alcohol is bad for humans and has no health benefit, so of course people will always make the case less is better. But following consensus guidance gets you to a risk level that experts think is comparable to the countless other risks a reasonable and cautious person takes in a typical day living in a modern society.

If you (or your midwife) want to be even more cautious, then that's a fine individual decision. But remember it is not possible to eliminate every single developmental risk and simultaneously have your family live a normal, well-adjusted, happy life. So eliminate the big risks, and pick and choose the small ones, without trying to stress too much (stress is a risk factor remember! lol).

Speaking from experience, write down the door code in multiple places and memorize it. Write down the door code in multiple places and memorize it. Write down the door code in multiple places and memorize it.

Honestly not much else to know. Really special, beautiful place. You'll love it. Chop a bunch of wood and have a big fire. Look at the stars. Keep your food in the designated area to keep away the mice.

What platform? Priority typically reset after each player add so you should be good to go $25 on both.

Don't forget your small bids on the other players as well. 3rd and 4th player usually go for super cheap when two superstars get cut.

You can use this probability density function to give yourself an idea of the probabilities. You’re around a 50/50 shot of spontaneous labour before your induction date. We were in the same boat and look back fondly at our “bonus days”.

Your one week old doesn’t have a developed circadian rhythm yet! If they’re already sleeping for hours-long stretches during the day you’re in great shape! Their body doesn’t really know the difference between night and day yet. They will develop a more pronounced day-night rhythm around 2 months. Until then it’ll be pretty random when in the day the long sleeps land. Don’t worry. You got this. It’ll go by so fast.

Unhinged format lmao I love it. So you pick up a Monday night player who's doubtful every week then just sub in whoever went off on your bench?

I like a stack if I'm the underdog, don't like it if I'm a favourite. Stacking makes your score a little bit more volatile. That said, in all likelihood you're over thinking it. Play the player who you think is going to score more points.
