Briefly looked at the wife's side of the closest. First article that I stumbled upon with a Shein tag was a long sleeve blouse: neck tag labeled made in China, material tag (inner botton-left) labeled 5% elastane, 95% polyester.
Another article, cardigan: China, 100% acrylic.
The wife is right-handed whereas I'm left-handed, and we both currently prefer cradling with our non-dominant arm; my prevailing driver is head control (while standing), whereas hers is both head control and dexterity during feeding (while sitting).
Despite our daughter being just a month old and 9 lbs, the wife is already remarking that she's starting to get "heavy". As our child puts on more weight, I'm expecting to see the wife use her dominant arm more to cradle in certain scenarios, predicated by the baby's growth outpacing her arm strength buildup. In contrast, my non-dominant arm is notionally several times stronger than her dominant, so I suspect there will much fewer reasons for me to pivot as the child grows.
As an aside, I truly do find it strange that child weight doesn't appear to be taken into any meaningful consideration. I understand that an innovation out of Europe which spread like wildfire in the US are car seats with rotating carriages (delayed adoption speculatively due to safety regulations). Many years ago, a close friend was first exposed to them when renting a car while on vacation in Iceland; he claimed that the UX of moving his daughter in and out was such a "game changer" that he immediately ordered one upon return, and it was one of the first things he recommended when I was soliciting wisdom in the months before my child was born.
You can't make this shit up...ask me how I know.

> Only now I pay $106/mo (w/modem rental).
The price you're paying today has merely tracked nominal inflation relative to the price you were paying 12 years ago[1].

> And in a March 2023 research paper, the economist Isabella Weber at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, referred to it as “seller’s inflation.”
...which links to this absolute must read paper[1].
I suspect it would be meaningful to parametrically filter these inop edge cases out by default.
> The crack appears to be a sudden shear in the nose bridge, which would be the weakest part of the glass mold. Those with the issue speaking to Apple Support have been told to pay the AppleCare deductible of $300 for a repair.
> Without AppleCare a cover glass repair would cost $800.
Minimum "deductible" to the tune of several hundred dollars?! How is this obvious defect not covered in full by the device's basic 1-year limited warranty[2]?
If these claims are indeed true at face value, then I fully expect a massive class action lawsuit would be entirely in order.

That's a good thing, right[1]?
Something about "the one thing all models have in common..." comes to mind.
The country is a proverbial magnet for typhoons, and it seems like a major disaster strikes every year; wiki[1] claims half of the top 10 deadliest were within the past 2 decades, and the top 10 most destructive were all in the past 15 years!

There's a buried third in there: "typhoon season"[1].
I do wonder how they intend to both lean into and protect such a massive, fragile investment when all it'll take is the debris from a single tropical storm to wreck some serious infrastructure carnage, let alone a full-blown super typhoon.

Sounds nice for the office, but find myself conflicted with the notional operating value prop of continuously juicing north of 200W less graphics compute (?!) just putting idle pixels on screen on a home workstation that seldom gets shutdown.
Curious if you've realized meaningful productivity gains since switching to that setup, and what graphics card(s) are you using to drive them?
Not just at Intel's Ohio fab, but across the nation as part of a much broader onshoring movement[1].
- a park with heavy foot/vehicle traffic that's half a mile from the intersection of two major interstates;
- an arboretum that's immediately adjacent to a major interstate beltway exit; and
- a beach surrounded by commercial development locally known for its active nightlife scene.
Perhaps just as ironic is a state park in an area known for its retired affluence---where the only major road is a 2-laner that's sparsely traveled---with a higher "quiet score" than 2 of these locations.
I think it's safe to conclude that a cup here is in UK terms:
> Individuals aged 37–73 years were recruited in 22 assessment centres across the United Kingdom, between 13 March 2006 and 1 October 2010.
> Harvey in 2017 was damaging due to its consistent rain over the area as it stalled.
The outsider impression that I took away was that a major reason why Houston got so rekt by a mere Cat 2 hurricane was in large part driven by property developers building communities in low lying areas that the Army Corp of Engineers had designated as "emergency spillways"[1][2]...the Army knew about the risk, the city turned a blind eye, and the devil in the details weren't disclosed to homebuyers.
Perhaps there's more to the story?
> While I'm not against a cat 6 or higher rating existing, for the sake of human communication "cat 5" means "get the hell out of there" already.
I agree, but skipping town isn't always an option even if you wanted to; experienced two such events[3][4] on Guam as a kid.

Keyword bookmarks have been a thing in Firefox since 1.0.x days and well before Chrome was officially released. It's an opinionated implementation that lives today as ~2 decades of deeply engrained tech debt. How do you even come off expecting Mozilla to operate at the same level as Google and its $1.7+ trillion market cap?? The level of entitlement in your remarks is simply beyond absurd.

For conductors with robust enough insulation (i.e. at least 105 degC rated), and assuming you're not beholden to RoHS, they make for quick, permanent, production-worthy splicing with just a heat gun...and you can actually buy them today.
Curious, would you mind expanding on where you think the actual problem is?
Apparently, we haven't learned shit from the Great Financial Crisis on what happens when we take a basic living essential, and rather than shepherd it as a vehicle for responsible capital preservation, the market instead shills it as growth investment.
No doubt in my mind that real estate speculation will go down as this century's most epic tragedy of the commons.
