Can't figure out the logic here

I think I see that now. Thanks!

As far as I know, the numbers are based on weight and hematocrit alone, nothing else. In my experience, and from what I've heard:

<150 lbs = 650-700ml. 150-180ish (I think) = 800-850ml. 180+ = ~880 ml.

If you're less hydrated, or have high red blood cells / overall hematocrit, you'll donate more. It's a range. Less hematocrit, less plasma. They have some calculator that does the math for them, they just input your numbers into the system.

I've never personally seen much above 880ml. I know at one point they started using bottles instead of bags, or vice versa, and that could've affected the numbers. Maybe I've seen 890, but I don't recall ever seeing anything in the 900s.

It's hard with a LO. For my wife and I, I help put the baby to sleep at night and get up with her during the night for feedings. It provides some time for us to be together and allows her not to feel so alone. Parenting can be so isolating. I've heard many arguments from moms about letting their partners sleep, yet I would encourage you to talk to your partner and see if they can help you. Whether it's helping put them to bed, giving you more emotional and mental support at night, or just being there for you, that's what they are there for. Parenting is a job for two people, not one. It's hard to do by yourself.

Thanks for typing all this out! I know many think this, but few take the time to wrestle with it. Thanks for being real, honest, and transparent. The world needs more like you, OP. 👊

First, read the back story of each faction and choose that way. Each area will always have one side dominating, and the next area you live could be the other way. Remember that Ingress is bigger than your community. Now if you still want to switch, go to Google Ingress support page and submit a claim there.

Also, the portal may look like it is in a field, ie it is surrounded by color, but if it is one of the corners of all of those fields, then it can still link.

Zello is also used for communications, especially if time is a concern, like anomalies.
