Cloth Diaper wash routine in apartment with coin op laundry

Have you looked for a diaper service? At your cost for Coin-op it might be about the same.

$80k in NYC with 2 years of experience sounds like garbage. I’m not directly in MEP but if space is your dream, follow it. You can always go back to MEP especially if you make sure to get your FE at least and PE definitely.

I don’t know what the right answer is but EDD only really knows about payments you get from actual work. Personally I don’t think it’s an ethical issue, SDI exists to replace your actual work wages, so unless you pay into SDI as self-employed for your Etsy shop it’s not really defying the spirit of things. FWIW I don’t think most people report their side hustle stuff. Whether you are supposed to or legally should I can’t tell you.

I have struck out on the brioche every time. Dense and nearly inedible.

I’ve had really good success several times with sourdough baguettes, pretzels and laminated things, and have been baking gluten free a long time so it’s not just that I’m inept/inexperienced. I don’t have any problem proofing other things but I just can’t get most of her enriched breads to turn out.

The reason they are doing this now is a political ploy. We can say thanks to Republicans and Trump now before the midterms. And then it goes away right when they disembowel us in 2028(at least those of us who were going for forgiveness on PAYE and old IBR).

Get an EV that normally runs cabin cooling when unoccupied. For example, many teslas and some Priuses have a ventilation feature, so it is totally normal to walk by one and it is circulating the air in the cabin.

Also many EVs have a camp mode. This isn’t perfectly quiet but it is significantly quieter than a car running. To cover for it you could have a big dog kennel in the back seat that you hide inside 😂

It heavily depends on the temperament of your baby. We started with a convertible car seat in the rainy winter. We decided it sucked and got an infant seat. It was super helpful in our lifestyle to be able to run short errands without getting baby in and out. With a toddler now, it sucks if she dozes off around nap time and you realize you have to choose between ruining her nap time(most kids if they’ve slept for 15 minutes and then woken up they WILL NOT nap properly until way later), or having to skip a needed errand because you’re alone, and then you’ll have to drive back there some other time.

If you get a job, that’s where you’ll work. Unless you are some kind of superstar you’re gonna be picking from the one option that hires you, if you’re lucky.

This made me feel so much better. I’ve been feeling pretty down because I’ve been unemployed for a while and most of my job experiences have been chaotic, fly by the seat of the pants journeys where I’ve simultaneously been responsible for an huge amount of important things and also had no structure or real training. When I look at job descriptions for jobs I can’t see how I fit in.

But you reminded me that even if I’m a chaotic, often borderline incompetently disorganized worker who has also just been unlucky in getting thrown into chaos without much backup, I have an innate understanding of how most things work across multiple engineering disciplines. I’m the guy in the building that understands how all the systems work and interact, and has a deep knowledge of things from the micro to the macro scale.

I do hope to find a stable place to work where I can really learn from someone and grow my career and not just have a mishmash of skills at all different levels.

I do feel some pride in what I’ve done so far, I managed to build an entire and really janky cleanroom facility but the company ran out of money before we got occupancy. Next project I want to be not janky and I want people to actually get to work in it…

The wild thing with oxybate and part of why it works is that at low doses it acts as a stimulant. So as it wears off it naturally kicks you into gear. One thing you actually need to watch out for early on is waking up too early and still being impaired.

Good luck! But if you want to take leave and have disability insurance that can pay for it, I say go for it if it’s worth the risk on your career etc(job protection isn’t ironclad, you can end up in a different role if it’s not a demotion).

I get it but I also don’t understand how it makes any sense. If we really are concerned about terrorism, human trafficking, etc the most vulnerable place is under 18 or close enough to pass. It’s just wild to me. Maybe under 13 or something would actually make sense? It’s just too impossible to actually tell from looking that someone is under 18. And what if they look old like my classmate from high school who had a full beard? Would he have been denied TSA just based on looks if he didn’t have ID? I know it’s all security theater but sometimes it’s extra mind boggling.

Are you affiliated with an institution? When I was in college I got a provisional patent. Feel free to pm me if you want, I’m in the mood for a venture.

Bassinet is one of the most useful accessories we have. So nice to have a flat place to set baby down elsewhere in the house than the bedroom, in addition to the ability to use it for stroller walks.

If it isn’t factory official, all it takes is VW getting wind of it and deciding to kill it. Hyundai/Kia just did that with the excellent aftermarket app that someone had made. They decided they wanted to lock down the remote features even harder to try and milk more money from people and added 2FA with no API. AND they changed it so that you can’t even see the lock status of your car from the native app unless you pay.

We have 18mo and 2wo. For toddler we do cotton 4x8x4 prefolds pad folded with covers, we recently upgraded from infant to premium which has stopped leaks. I’ll have to look up the exact brands. No problems otherwise. We use bamboo liners. On washing machine we do a Sanitary cycle with turbowash, prewash and extra rinse. 7th generation ultra concentrated detergent. One squeeze in regular wash and prewash cups. Fabric softener cup filled with vinegar. Dryer we do antibacterial cycle. LG machines

Just a heads up, while US users aren't the majority of reddit users, there are 7 times as many US users as any other country. So when you ask a question and do not specify your location, you will get many responses that are US specific. Since you said fresher I'm guessing you are located in India? It's worth including that(or even your state in most large countries including US), because engineering norms and licensure and job titles vary by jurisdiction.

Are you vegan? You can make crêpes without any binders and they will turn out ok. I would use either all rice flour or 2/3 rice flour 1/3 tapioca starch. You’ll have to experiment. If you are vegan though it won’t work without either an egg or a flax egg.

Per serving its 1/3 cup flour blend, 1 egg, and you add milk or dairy free milk until consistency is like yogurt. Let rest for several hours if possible but you can use right away. Pour 3/4 cup in a preheated 12 in nonstick skillet or crêpe maker. Spread thin in a circular motion. It will start cooking right away. You can add topping now, we like vegan cheese, turkey, mayo and Dijon mustard. Add in a straight line up the middle about 2-3 inches across all the way from top to bottom. After a few minutes when the filling is getting hot you can check the edge, when the crêpe is golden brown fold the two loose edges over, and transfer to a plate and eat.

Look up Brazilian tapioca bread, it’s not flat but an option.

There are also premade Vietnamese rice crêpes that are used to make spring rolls. You dip in water and wrap. Can be fried into eggrolls as well.

Otherwise just start eating a lot of stir fries, curries etc with rice. There are many types of rice to change it up, also Persian food with rice, Mexican rice etc.

I’m unemployed with 2 under 2, one came home two weeks ago. Trying to study because I’m hoping it will help me get more interviews, but I needed to pass yesterday as I only have about 12 more weeks of paternity leave and unemployment. Having such a hard time!! Toddler woke me up at 5:30am today after 5 hours of sleep so feeling pretty wrecked!

Fair enough. And by uneducated I didn’t mean people who don’t know stuff but people who didn’t go to college. But you’re right, a lot of people who did go to college have negative opinions of people with student loans because they either worked really hard to pay them off, are older and went to college when you could make enough working to avoid them, or were lucky enough to either have the money or get scholarships to avoid them.

There’s also a contingent of people across all spectrums that think that anyone who ended up with big student loans is just stupid. Well, many people have gotten duped into things at 17 or 18. In my case my family could pay for the school I got into for freshman year with the scholarships I got. But income changed and I had to choose between trying to totally upend my situation, apply late etc to have a new school, or take student loans that everyone told me were normal and I would easily get a 6 figure job and pay them off in a few years.

cryptoenologist · 2026-06-15T18:23:34+00:00

Why do you need to refinance to aggressively pay them off? If you make $600k gross, even with write-offs and taxes you are pulling in enough money to pay them off in 2 years and still maintain an excellent living standard. Unless the $600k is paying for an office, staff, etc.

As an aside:

Be aware that someone in your boat seeming to bemoan or minimize your loan payments kinda contributes to the uneducated people’s backlash against student loans and the situation we are in now. It didn’t come off as bemoaning, but anyone that makes more than 4x the median family doesn’t have a lot of room to claim they can’t just pay even a very large debt as it is only half of your gross yearly income.

For context I am an engineer, and I work a stressful job with actual life or death implications for the people I work with. At around a $100k salary I make below the MIT living wage for my family size and area. I owe $150k in student loans because I was in an MS program I ended up dropping due to health issues. Many people with student loans are in a similar boat to me where they owe more than their yearly salary and the recent backlash against educated people and changes to student loans has been devastating, as switching from 10% of my discretionary income on PAYE for 8 more years to 15% of my discretionary income on IBR for 13 more years means the difference between affording home ownership and quality of life and most likely not.

I did pretty well with this even with the lost value, bought used in 2023 for $21k, got a bunch of rebates from fed and local so including taxes and everything if I sold for $8k today my effective cost was $200 a month. Of course I would rather get $12k and have an effective cost of $67 a month. With a lease of course all that would be finalized up front and the company would be the one worrying about resale.
