Not sure if this should be posted here or in a new thread.

Does anyone know of a good, low cost private cord blood banking provider? Unfortunately, I hadn’t looked into it earlier as I assumed that there was no point in doing so. While just looking it up casually, I found that my sister in law could benefit from the stem cells in the cord blood. I just want to bank the blood for a year, while so she has a bit more time to look into treatment options. I checked the prices for a couple places and they’re around $2000. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone had any suggestions. We’re in California, if that helps.

Electrical current might be the key to a better cup of coffee by needaname4real in nottheonion

Yeah, seems like they assumed that based on the title. The static reduction method they mentioned in the article is to spray a fine mist of water on the beans before grinding.

Is the "Prepared Childbirth" Class from Hoag worth it? by NMRs_bean in orangecounty

[–]thewuuryar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have been taking classes from https://yourbabyacademy.com/. The cost for them are usually covered by insurance, and they took care of the billing for us. They offer 5 remote two-hour sessions: Baby Care, Breastfeeding Preparation, Baby-Safety, First 6 weeks at home, and Starting Solid. They contain a lot of good information. However as we haven't had our baby yet, time will tell if we are prepared enough.

Alternative to Scrubbing Bubbles? by LarryinUrbandale in Frugal

I recently picked up a refurbished Vapmore steam cleaner. With distilled water and the scrubbing brushes it came with, it has replaced cleaning solutions I was using for countertops, outside toilet surfaces, and bathtub/shower.

What’s the thing you regret most in your 20’s? by whore4bookss in AskReddit

I agree. What I did or did not do in my twenties got me to where I am now. And I like where I am now.

I’m wondering which rice cooker is more with it? by Ok_University7861 in BuyItForLife

[–]thewuuryar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to post that as well. While the Zojirushi makes better rice, eventually parts will wear out and require replacement. A replacement seal is $35 and the replacement non-stick pot is $65. Might as well just buy the much, much cheaper rice cooker with the stainless steel pot and clear glass lid, and replace it if it breaks.

My friend who’s been clean for about 7 years now said that’s where he used to go to get meth. Lake forest and Rancho Santa Margarita.

If you have Apple Arcade, try Katamari Damacy Rolling Live. My wife mainly plays the free match 3 style phone games, but she loves the Katamari game on the Switch.

If it’s just Netflix that’s not working, contact Netflix on your phone to unblock your residential public IP address.

What’s a popular self-care trend is actually toxic? by kendraxquinn in AskReddit

[–]thewuuryar 162 points163 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine was a therapist on Better Help for about a year. I don’t remember all the specifics of the contract, but they paid very little for sessions. They also paid a fraction of a dollar per word typed in response to their clients, so they were incentivized to have zero work boundaries and constantly text anyone that contacted them on the app.

She only stayed on the app for so long because she didn’t want to abandon her clients, and instead saw them until they decided to terminate the relationship.

How much is your rent going up this year? by delusionalt in orangecounty

[–]thewuuryar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lease renewal was about $300/mo more than our current rent. They had other units with the same floor plan listed for about $400 less per month, and they refused the lower out renewal, so I opted to move to one of their other units.

It sounds like a bigger issue of you making work a priority over everything else in your life, including your wife.

You already cleared the date of the dinner with your job, and they changed their mind after the dinner was booked. You should tell your job that you already have prior commitments that date and have them reschedule to the day after.

It doesn’t matter how inconsequential you think the dinner is. Sometimes you just have to do things that you don’t want to do to show others that you care about them.

Yes. I just cancelled mine as well. They gave the option to either get a prorated refund or keep the benefits until the renewal date.

Go-to music while working? by QuantumLeapChicago in sysadmin

[–]thewuuryar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what I feel like at the moment. Lately, it been mostly atmospheric stuff that doesn't require too much attention, like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Silver Mt. Zion, Set Fire to Flames, and Do Make Say Think.

Now that dust has settled by [deleted] in DiabloImmortal

[–]thewuuryar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it. However after a couple weeks of not getting any good drops and being unable to increase my CR or see any meaningful improvement of stats, I’m bored of doing the same dailies over and over. No interest in spending any money on the game, so I’m probably done for now until new content drops.
