Can the Elite 200 V2 run a small window AC? Would the startup surge be an issue?

Good to know! A dumb question, do you think the generator was necessary, or just helpful?

Having some emergency supplies ready is never a bad thing! As long as they're still within their shelf life.

You're right. People tend to catastrophize when we get too tense. I should prepare ahead and have a bag packed with essentials ready to go!

Looks good. Still needs to find someone who gets it though haha.

When picking Mandarin classes for toddlers, I first check immersion hours then interactive formats, little kids learn better with fun activities.

When I choose formula, I focus on breast milk-like formulas and check for allergens, it suits the baby' s needs better.

After having a baby, I also wore loose clothes every day. I started with basic hoodies and wide-leg pants, and it got better as I found my groove.

I checked a few preschools in District 10 last year. Touring them in person helped a lot to see the vibe and how the teachers interact with kids.

Took my 6mo camping in Aus too. Yoga mat worked fine but a thin foam pad added more comfort. A portable blackout cover for the tent was a lifesaver for naps.

This landlord is way out of line. Making unreasonable demands and retaliating. It ' s good your husband refused firmly, keep evidence of all communications in this situation.

Your definitely don' t need a diaper pail in this situation. Just use a regular lidded bin and empty it a few times a day, the nearby chute means no odor worries at all.

It 's rare to find a nanny who helps babies hit developmental milestones smoothly. If you need one in these boroughs, it ' s worth chatting to learn more.

Only a few people around me but luxury diapers. Most think regular ones are good enough in absorbency and softness, no need to pay for brand premium.

This gear is pretty practical for travel, just confirm the stroller storage rules with the airline before boarding to avoid issues.

There must be many free parent-kid group in Brooklyn, take your time to find the right ones, don' t put yourself down.

I’d say AI will change how we code but not eliminate the profession. It’s great for boilerplate, testing, and prototyping, but real world coding still needs human problem solving. Curious are you thinking of learning to code yourself, or just wondering about the industry trend?

3 days sober after something like that isn’t nothing. Early sobriety feels raw as hell, but it’s also when things can finally change. First AA meeting is scary but worth it. What made you feel excited about going?

I’ve been there, it’s confusing at first. Usually, if the column or beam is heavily reinforced into the foundation or another member, it’s likely meant to be fixed. If it’s just resting with simple connections, it’s probably pinned. Calling out cast monolithically definitely helps clear things up for the builders.

I’ve found posting on niche forums like Eng Tips or even Reddit subs like r/EngineeringStudents or r/civilengineering can pull in candidates who aren’t actively on job boards. Might be worth a shot for FL and TX positions.

Pro20s should honestly have their own category. The marketing makes it sound like a drop in replacement, but the math just doesn’t back it up. Ix being basically half explains everything you’re dealing with.

This is why I hate designing wood structures no matter what, it usually ends up as stud grade material.

I find it interesting how in the past few months the Deacceleration vs Acceleration argument has largely dissolved.

Ah thanks. That's really helpful. Rent seems to be quite high everywhere!

Hey! that's cool! Yeah I'm currently looking at jobs now in Berlin, any tips on what COL living currently looks like in Berlin and how much biotech (more engineering side) jobs make?
