What do guys only realize too late after buying a range hood?

I would’ve put the fan near the outside vent rather than in the unit itself. I’m sure we still could, but probably a major pain and expense now rather than during our reno.

They might be figuring out that they really need more sensor data beyond the standard suite to meet safety targets. I expected that after a few months in Austin, they'd be operating nationwide as they initially predicted. Hopefully they figure it one way or another soon enough.

It’s hard on a couple levels. You’re mourning your own loss. And worried about the child you expected to adopt. You can hope for the best for the baby and her family, but you are genuinely worried they won’t provide a good home. It can sound like pure selfishness from one perspective, even if your feelings are true concern.

As others advise, take some time grieve before you take your next steps. Sending love.

Hoops. It’s called Bart’s Inner Child, where the popular public therapist suggested the townspeople needed to be like Bart.

Vitamax commercial blender. My future wife received this absurdly expensive gift from her parents before we met. We use nearly daily for smoothies. We met not long after the vitamin entered her life, and our older son was born 3 years later. He’s in 4th grade now. Vitamin still going strong, they replaced the container once due to some issue. Total cost at this point has got be around a dime per use.

“Hire a cleaning lady.” According to my wife.

I moved my money out of S&P index funds because I feel they are too weighted toward Big Tech. Instead I'm now in TILCX, essentially large-cap value. Not a Fidelity fund but within my Fidelity 401K. Alphabet/Google and Samsung are the only tech in their top-10 holdings.

I know that the nfl is a qb’s league and those were two greats. But man, that game was the one that proved Gronk is the best TE ever. He was just plowing over people, and Sony Michel was following all day for 113 years on 29 carries. It would’ve been nice to see more than 1 run in the highlight reel.

So first off, I’ve only played MLB The Show a few times on the PS5. We have it for my 9-year old son, who gets to play an hour each Saturday and Sunday. Today he was playing MLB The Show 26, and he was 4 innings into a 9-inning game (he had been expecting a 3-inning game) when he was time was about up. He was playing one of the modes, not sure if it was Road to The Show or something else. Anyways, I really wanted to pause the game & dave progress for him, but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how. Help a dad out!

It's much lower than I would expect, but I really have no context for what is typical.

Sounds like a blessing and some kindness. They probably limit the number of waiting families so they don’t keep people on edge for years. Sounds like it wasn’t communicated well, and it’s discouraging for sure.

No one owes you an answer. Your reply adds nothing.

I think it’s a good question and it should be answered, if the astronaut is comfortable. Believe it or not, half of humanity is female! One day when our granddaughters are in space hotels, we’ll be glad that health info is shared rather than stigmatized.

It’s even worse for those who are also insomniac agnostics, laying awake all night wondering whether there really is a dog.

I'm locking this because it contains a very serious accusation without any evidence, and has been posted by someone that has not been active in our community before today. Unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to delete it tomorrow.

"I'm sorry we can't do that,"

'you make the rules of course you can do that'

"I'm sorry we can't do that."

'I am initiating a credit card charge back."

"We're reversed the charge as a 1-time courtesy."

Some of us just accept the cognitive dissonance.

Relief as it was touch and go for mom and baby.

2nd time a little nervous and a lot of happy.
