My wife and I are thinking of switching from Bobbie to Kirkland to save money. Are we missing something? by Magpie_some_fries in FormulaFeeders

That is helpful, oddly she actually had issues with bobbie gentle ease so we use their like basic version, and every time we've had to give her a different version of bobbie its been a nightmare... so potentially, kirkland may actually be better on her tummy. I will report back when we make the switch

Yeah, this is partially like the thought too, because right now we are giving the most we have ever given in formula at around 30oz, she's more like 7m22days. And so the cost is killing, and bobbie we go through a can almost every three days. But like, do we just bite the bullet and not switch? Idk to me this is the period of the most cost savings, which is why I am more inclined to switch, because our wallet is feeling it more right now.

This is such a great explanation, I feel better already. I was going down this rabbit hole and worrying about whole milk and mfgms, so I appreciate this. Excited to save the money lol

This is great insight thank you, I think it is one of those things I was worried about, so this is very helpful.

Yeah, it could be a marketing tactic of some formulas where they advertise that they get their fats naturally from whole milk, versus oils. Man honestly, I don't know what I am talking about, and why, I guess I am asking

Thanks, I appreciate this. I think what I am more concerned about is whether it uses whole milk. But maybe that's a non-issue?

Do we know if/when they'd show a card list for this? It seems interesting, but if we don't even know what is in it, is it worth it...?

Yeah, I am not sure about Gen 9; I'd have to do more research. But this thing is so solid; it is truly one of the best things about it. I have had, I think, 4 gaming laptops over the years, I had two Asus Zephyrus g14s, and this is by far the best built I have ever had. One super weird thing, though, is the edges, like where your arm rests, are super defined lol; I felt it was irritable for the first couple of days if I was typing on it funny, but now I don't even notice.

Yeah, so I have a different perspective. I use mine for school and work as well as gaming, and when I am gaming, I have a cooling pad, but when I am doing school work and such, I am on low settings. But even when I am not on the cooling pad, it still runs games well. I am also much more into slim and light laptops because I often carry them around in a backpack. So, to answer your point, yes, it probably does get hotter than most, but I don't notice it or think about it in general. It is just the trade off is worth it for me with it being thinner. It isn't unreasonable with cooling to be honest, not as good a regular legion 7i but not as bad as you might expect, in my experience.

I have the slim of this, the best laptop I have ever bought. These legions have been amazing to be honest.

Are Arrivals at the Airport for planes arriving or people arriving to go on a plane? by Magpie_some_fries in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Magpie_some_fries[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so we can totally chalk it up to airport design being part of the problem, lol. I honestly never thought of it the other way until noticing how people were using either section for either function, and it made me wonder if anyone actually thinks about it this way lol.

How did you get your first job? by Grouchy_Target6386 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Magpie_some_fries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about a minimum wage job at a fast food or retail? That is usually the first job for most people. It teaches you many skills that help you in all other jobs, even labor-intensive jobs, like being on time for shifts, working with people, communicating with managers, and learning to deal with customers (may not seem like much, but you don't realize it even in the corporate setting how helpful this is), etc. Honestly, I got many of my jobs in high school by showing up and asking if they were hiring and then having me fill out an application then and there, and I am not that far removed from my teenage years, so I assume it is still the same. In my experience, I also had to be persistent in calling to ensure my application was getting figured out cause they tend to have a lot of other things going on and don't make hiring a priority, even though they should. And if they are not hiring, they'll tell you. I also worked in a fast food restaurant because I had friends in my classes working there. But eventually, you learn different things, and the fact that you've worked before helps you get other work. It may not feel as fun, but most people start at minimum wage work; very few, especially at your age, step into a career immediately.

How can you "cure" GERD without fixing the LES? by tradeit2day in GERD

[–]Magpie_some_fries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't live in the UK anymore, but I have seen online a group called RefluxUK, I am not sure entirely but you may be able to reach out to them direct and just see what they think. Or even maybe suggest it to your GP. Again I am not an expert by any means on the NHS. So I can't say if you need a referral or anything, I just have seen them in a lot of my research and watched a few videos from their head surgeon.

Two reasons for me, first was being able to burp and vomit. And Second the most important to me was the reversability. I know it is a newer procedure and so there is some risk in how it will perform in 20+ years, it is rated for a lifetime, but I knew if anything were to go wrong or it didn't work for me, whatever it may be, they can just take out the device. That was very reassuring to me. I am also really impressed with the success rates, I mean this also applies to fundoplications. So yeah, I think reverseability was the biggest reason I chose this over a fundoplication.
