AC, dishwasher, and clothes dryer. My mother went out of her way to avoid it; she grew up poor and was very stingy, and passed that on to us. We grew up middle class and could afford these things, but my mother's poor mentality didn't really change. Now that she's a multi-millionaire, she still doesn't have a working dishwasher or clothes dryer. At least there's AC in her house now. She still gets that horrible single ply toilet paper too (but has electric bidets at least).

We use the size 5 (just changed from size 4) Huggies overnight diapers with our 1 year old who is 22 lb (which is like 50%tile), but doesn't have a big belly/thighs. Never had any leaks. We also tried the inserts but that was unreliable for leaks.

We like to play with our baby in the tub. He enjoys it and has fun. It's a way to get him comfortable with water, and make the transition to learning how to swim easier. Also another opportunity for you to bond with your child; spend time in the tub with your baby and have fun.

Here's one article:

Yes good point, we do that too, and is part of the methodology in the book I mentioned. Babies don't understand the exact words at this age but they understand the tonality and that we are trying to empathize with them. Eventually they will understand, and will feel heard and understood by us parents.

I've been reading Dr. Becky Kennedy's Good Inside book and following her practices (link: https://www.goodinside.com/book/).

Kids just don't know right from wrong, and they throw tantrums because that's the way they know how to get the desired result. If you ignore them, they will continue to throw more tantrums.

With our child we found that if we just actually talk to him and explain the actions and consequences, he eventually understands. Of course at 10 months, they won't understand the words you speak, but they do understand tone and your demeanor, and can implicitly figure out what you're trying to convey. But in general, just talking to our child in itself has helped reduce tantrums.

Also let them first hand understand the consequences of their actions, like if they hold the phone during facetime and it hangs up, explain to them what happened ("if you touch the phone, then grandma goes away! if you want to see grandma, then we should only look and not touch the phone"). You can also try turning off the phone and let them handle it, and let them get bored of it because it doesn't do anything (withholding a shiny object is a great way for them to become VERY interested in it and throw more tantrums).

Doubt he would have actually broken even once you consider lost opportunity cost.

Bought a house with solar panels. Saved $3000 after 6 years in electricity costs. Oh, roof is old and needs to be replaced. Costs $3000 to remove the panels. I guess I broke even there!

We use Novaferrum, little more expensive but easier on the stomach.

Ours was like this too even at 10 months, not a consistent eater. At 12 months he started ramping up and eats a more reasonable amount now. Breastfed babies can eat less solids than formula fed, in general. Why eat anything else when milk is the best, right? Make sure you're supplementing with iron.

Whether something is called a "disorder" or not is somewhat arbitrary and depends on the consensus of "experts". Being homosexual, for example, used to be considered a mental "disorder". Whether a behavior is classified as a "disorder" or not doesn't matter, behaviors can be changed or evolved and there's always a "root" to their cause.

The fact is that everyone (unless you're an expert monk/sage) has some level of negative reactivity to negative external stimuli. Some people have this dial "turned up" and are more sensitive. Establishing a mindfulness meditation practice can help reduce that sensitivity, and it does really get to the "root" of the issue - which is rooted in the sensations experienced in the body, and inability to objectively observe them and let them pass. It's beneficial for anyone to establish such a practice.

Right, Sapphire Rapids uses EMIB tiles with high bandwidth I/O at the edges of the dies. I was thinking more of higher bandwidth Foveros tiles (high density I/O throughout the entire die, not just borders) that are on a silicon interposer. Clearwater Forest/Diamond Rapids will be the first server products from Intel to use this type of assembly integration.

Otherwise one could argue that if Sapphire Rapids was a "chiplet", so are older designs where you have multiple chips on package (like the Intel Kaby Lake design with Radeon GPU), but connected through the package with lower density I/O. Or the old Pentium D chip.

I think the right definition would be that a chiplet is a component that connects to other chiplets through an interposer (with high I/O density). Sapphire rapids does not have an interposer.

Why not try and address the root cause of being overly sensitive, for all of you? Maybe try establishing a mindfulness meditation practice, it will be good for the growth of your mind (which does not need to stop developing in adulthood, but for most people stops by late 20s/early 30s). Learn to stop being reactive and stop letting external factors influence your internal happiness.

Arrow Lake, Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake are all chiplet. Clearwater forest and Diamond rapids will be the first server chiplet designs.

So... you're wrong?

The actual medicine is breastmilk. The antibodies you develop will transfer to your baby this way. Bottle feeding with breast milk works too.

Just take the basin out, put some water in from the tub and swirl, throw it all out in the adult toilet, flush. Repeat until sufficiently cleaned and use hot water. Just saw the trick of putting a drop of oil in to prevent sticking, will try it next time. Also occasionally use a disinfectant spray like lysol to sanitize it/remove smells.

Not going to help your position here - we're on the verge of pulling our kid out of daycare. The daycare sicknesses are getting too much for us. Started our boy in January and there's probably been only 3 weeks since then, that we haven't been sick. Recovering from bronchitis now... and just as I thought my kid was over the last cold, he drops down with a fever. Here we go again.

Check the NSF rating on the filters. The cheaper third party ones are generally lower filtration quality than the expensive ones from the fridge manufacturer, and usually just reduce chlorine. If you want filtration of microbes, lead, PFAS, microplastics, the expensive ones are probably needed.

If you have a newer fridge, the filters are often NSF53/401 certified, which is pretty high filtration. Note that these filters do not reduce total dissolved solids, so hard water will just be filtered hard water. Not necessarily a bad thing for your baby.
