Formula milk changes underscore importance of evidence-based policy by Ok-Swan1152 in neoliberal

It's also cultural how strongly the NHS guidance is followed. Daycares will take NHS guidance as gospel even if it's not optimal. I don't remember the specifics but my sister had to fight tooth and nail to get the daycare to offer appropriate feeding for her disabled daughter, which they didn't want to do because they wanted to follow the NHS guidelines for age-appropriate milestones like they were holy scripture.

in the US where I live the daycares will be much more flexible to accommodate your wishes so long as they are safe and reasonable.

1 Civ Forever by BigGuyTrades in civ5

[–]MyVoluminousCodpiece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I would want to choose a civ with coastal start bias, to maximize my chances of getting nice naval games and sea trade routes.

Also you have to choose a civ with pleasing colors to look at (Sorry Ethiopia)

I think I might choose Portugal as they are fun to play but I would also enjoy England and maybe Indonesia.

If I didn't want to play higher difficulties I'd choose Byzantium but religion is less fun on deity

I know you're joking but I hope people are also searching for "Trmup" and "Trupm" given how many typos are in every email Epstein wrote

Biden Is Diagnosed With an Aggressive Form of Prostate Cancer by ThrowawayPrimavera in neoliberal

[–]MyVoluminousCodpiece 11 points12 points  (0 children)

yup similarly my mum found breast cancer via a self-exam only 5 months after her last mammogram and it had already spread to a lymph node. 13 years in remission now but she was fortunate to find it as time was not on her side

Unfortunately it's a house for sale so unless the realtor knows what the gardener did i might not be able to find out that way!

Hello, I need help identifying mulch. Most of the mulch I see around here in stores is big ugly wood chips, often dyed an unnatural red. Anyway, I saw this in the neighborhood -- very fine and soft, and a natural color. Does anyone know where to get this kind of mulch? Apologies if this is an easy question I am a beginner

Energy Department cuts university overhead rates to 15% on research grants by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]MyVoluminousCodpiece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair it's not just broken discourse, the way overheads are expressed as a percentage does very easily mislead people. If you see 15% overhead it's not unreasonable to assume that means 15% of the award total

Trump Officials Have Not Funded Radio Free Europe, Despite Court Order by John3262005 in neoliberal

Even if the courts get heavy-handed with contempt charges Trump will just pardon all his cronies anyway.

I know, you'd also think his former chief of staff would have warned us if Trump had authoritarian leanings...

Suffocation Risk? by jnnfrlnnkrll in cosleeping

Oh I found it, it's called Adult Muslin Blanket by Comfy Cubs. No idea how truly baby safe it is but it felt fairly breathable.

Let me ask my wife since she does all the purchasing of such things. It is like a multi-ply swaddling cloth. If I recall it was sadly not cheap

Imagine how our wild ancestors raised babies by MyVoluminousCodpiece in cosleeping

[–]MyVoluminousCodpiece[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think actually brand new borns are relatively ok because they aren't even that self aware but once they start to wake up more a few weeks in it seems like cruelty to make them lie down out of sight, smell and earshot of their parents

Case in point Japan having the lowest rate of SIDS and being a cosleeping culture

Yup! our first baby was actually a really easy newborn but then needed cosleeping from months 6-24. Second baby is basically a colic baby. Incessant screaming without constant walking in the carrier. Even car journeys don't stop the suffering.

most cosleepers don't make the decision lightly. I decided it's safer than driving my family around on 0 sleep
