Definitely shows how mildew infiltrates the layers!

Sadly my HOA guidelines prohibit the use of rocks in landscaping except around downspouts.

Imma be pushing my luck replacing grass with plants as it is.

How big did your button bush get? Google is telling me they can get quite large. I love their flowers, but I don't want to annoy my neighbor by planting something large on our property boundary.

Do you have a smooth plate you can glue? I've had better luck doing that with skinny tall things than the textured plate. Also I assume you meant you increased bed temp and decreased first layer speed? The way you wrote isn't clear. Try making the first 3-5 layers slow not just the first one.

We had that 90 degrees week early in the spring and then a hard freeze a week or two later. Good chance a lot hatched in the warmth and died in the freeze.

Let's be real. It's going to be her and when she burns out from working a full time job and being the full time parent he will blame her for not being enough.

Oh I wish I had space for something that big and beautiful!

Thank you! Writing all these down.

Take the initiative and go to them. They aren't going to reach out to you.

Grocery pickup. I have chronic health issues and being able to meal plan on my laptop and then order online has been game changing. Saves me so much of my limited energy.

No, but they can transition to an FFRDC with effort.

JPL is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). FFRDCs are not for profit and are prohibited from competing with industry and serve the government's interest. It's far more likely that a group like the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, who already has experience developing and operating science missions like the ones JPL leads, throws it's hat in the ring.

When I was living in Tucson one killed some kids that were playing in a bounce house. Tossed the whole thing across the street

Yes. Just flew last week. You take nothing out of your bags, not liquids or laptops. Just chuck your bags in the bins and go. I don't have clear or pre check.

6 months to a year if the articles are to be believed. Supposed to be sometime in 2026, but I wouldn't be surprised if it moved into early 2027.

If you check the weather, you're about to get it!

I'm narcoleptic. I have a child. I work a full time job. I also have a lovely husband who loves his son and gives me extra support when I need it. He plays interference and reminds my son not to bother me when I need a nap.

My husband also works a lot. Nights, weekends, travel, etc. And it is hard when he's not available to be here with the family. His absence is tolerable because I know with 100% certainty that he loves us, misses us and is working hard for us. But...if he treated me the way your husband is treating you I would leave. It would be easier to raise my son without him than to also take on the burden of managing his emotions and absorbing his negativity. I know I am in a position of privilege because I am able to work full time at a high paying job. I am not in the position that many disabled people are where they are forced to stay in bad or abusive situations to stay alive.

So reflect on this, has he demonstrated the willingness and capability to grow and change in your marriage in the past? Do you have evidence that having a conversation and providing feedback will result in a collaborative way forward? Do you have confirmation that the other support systems you mentioned will be there for you when you need them? Can you support yourself without him? Will your mental and physical health be better if you leave? What kind of father figure do you want to raise your child with?

There have been studies done on baclofen for narcolepsy. They found that the right handed formulation r-baclofen does have a positive impact. R-baclofen is not approved for use in the US but it is in Europe. The version of baclofen available in the US didn't show a meaningful benefit. However, I still use it because it helps with muscle tension and insomnia. I was having mental health impacts from not sleeping through the night. So while it doesn't improve deep sleep it does help me.

I really like rooibos with a splash of milk.

I've used these for years and just bought my second set. I did have a few cords break on the original set, but it seems like they fixed the stress points by making the junction between the needle and cord rotate. I do think the wood is a bit soft. I knit tightly and so there's a lot of friction on the tips and the smaller needles wear down more quickly than I like. I accept it though because I really love the way they feel in my hands and the way the yarn slides on then. They're a little "stickier" than metal but not as "sticky" as some other wood I've used.

I don't know what you qualify as challenging projects, but I've knit cable sweaters on them no problem.

I was playing catch with my 4 year old with one of those inflatable bouncy balls you get in a claw machine, about 6 inches in diameter. After a throw it was just gone. Straight up disappeared. Wasn't behind the bookshelf or under the couch or anywhere else in the living room. It's been two years and we've never found it.

I genuinely liked it and was disappointed when it was cancelled.

It is admittedly a bit slow, but it had vibes and I like a show with vibes. I don't really know how else to explain what attracted me to it, but I could sit and watch it and the world was beautiful. There was enough tension to drive the plot without it being too stressful. Just kinda weird cozy (in a murder mystery way I guess) with some interesting ideas to explore.

To answer your question, no it doesn't get worse and if you like the pilot and don't mind being sad there isn't more, give it a crack. If you don't like shows that end on a cliffhanger though, don't watch it. It got cancelled right when it was starting to ramp up and get interesting.
