    Teaching your kid sign language has developmental benefits. Also, think how frustrating it would be as a kid to only have one way to communicate you want/need ANYTHING. Sign language isn't just for the parents.

    We had our son's frenulum clipped as well to help with breastfeeding. Didn't help one bit. He takes to bottles much better than breasts. Breastfeeding and work, even though there's laws about it, is still a huge pain in the ass, so he's on formula now. Hope there's no drawback to getting...

    Which Mass Effect installment is your favorite?

    The ending DLC made it worse in context of the original. They staunchly defend the original ending as "art" and "well, you guys just don't get it!", but after continued bitching and bad press, they give us these shallow choice endings that still fall short of what it should have been.

    Doesn't take that long. But I know you read the thread, so just go back and read the arguments again. There's a purpose to sous vide, and time saver, directly, is not one of them.

    I'm less pissed about the thing being on all the time last night and more pissed that the previous owners possibly voided the warranty on my heater because they wanted to buy a cheaper model. Really hope I'm remembering wrong and I have a NPE model at home

    Windows aren't drafty, but they do have some condensation on them on the upper floor. They are single pane. Don't think I can fix the condensation without replacing them with double pane.

    Ugh, fucking heater has been on all damn night. Anyone know of a good way to determine where most of the heat is being lost? Or is this normal for these temperatures(-4 last night)? Note: I have a tankless water heater and baseboard heating. No idea if that applies or not. And no...

    I'm sure if you've kept on this thread, you know my opinion on such things. I prefer to have control over what I'm eating rather than not trust myself to eat something. Counting calories allowed me to do that. The control and knowledge substituted for whatever sweets I wasn't getting while...

    I think I am confused about the fire code thing. How are cat5e cables a fire/toxic fume hazard if run parallel inside a joist pocket? I have baseboard heating, so at most, that vent was allowing air from the top level into the joist pocket. The bottom grate is sealed off, should it not be...

    And you can see from the second pick the bottom part is blocked off. How much air can be really moving through there? I've taken a peak in the adjacent room that shares the same joist space and there's all sorts of electrical wiring. I guess I won't block it off completely, still gotta fit...

    The red arrows are correct in direction, almost placement too. If we use baseboard heating, do we have to worry about that fire code then? I'm planning on running it through the vent, then sideways over to another room which has suspended ceiling, then under the joists from there. Thanks...
