I have a framed attic space I’m finishing into a bedroom/office. There’s a gas line of copper pipe that runs right across the opening into what would be the obvious closet. Needs to be shifted three feet back to the other side of the studs.

I don’t mess with gas so wanted to get someone licensed to do it. One ghosted his appointment. Another asked for $150 to even show up to give a quote. The one quote I have says $2500-3500. Three others haven’t picked up or returned calls. I’ve worked copper pipe before. This would take me an hour, tops. Maybe $50 materials. I guess I’ll go without a closet here.

Same story for adding a window. $8000 initial estimate from the one person willing to show up. Guess the existing window is good enough for me now.

Everything else I’m doing myself and having a good time with it.

Everyone in all groups also had an NSAID

History and the motivation to make money say you’re spot on. Despite that, I’m still happy to be opening up new pathways for pain reduction. I’m hoping for the best for this and other options.

I’m with you. A good 5+ year lag after FDA approval is a good idea if that’s an option. That being said, the FDA is generally good with drug safety and these studies look good.

The placebo control is key, and it was at least statistically better than placebo.

You’re right that it’s hard to tell if it is more or less effective than hydrocodone+acetaminophen but it’s good news either way because it can potentially reduce the use of opioids and be another option.

The linked memo states

except for assistance received directly by individuals.

I don’t know what this means. Nobody knows what this means. I work in a federal agency. The instructions coming down are vague and even self-conflicting but threaten severe consequences if not exactly followed.

Cool.

Antiferromagnets could be incorporated into future memory chips that store and process more data while using less energy and taking up a fraction of the space of existing devices, owing to the stability of magnetic domains.

Waking up the bees is exactly what happens. If any other advice comes to mind this is gold.

Thank you. Suggesting to just do the prep for homework is genius.

My 10 year old has ADHD, and threads like this have helped my understanding. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

What does my daughter need from me, her Dad? She has an understanding pediatrician and a good therapist. My wife and I have given her freedom to choose how she organizes her day within reason. She has never done poorly in school and has impressive interest in art and science. We’ve been fortunate to have flexible school teachers most years. The kid has developed coping skills of her own, but I can still tell that brushing her teeth or getting in the shower or getting started on her homework are monumental struggles every. single. time. I don’t doubt that she will be fine in the long term, but I would love any advice on how to help day to day life to be a little less exhausting for her while still helping her learn how to function independently.

What are things people have said or done for you that helped you feel seen and loved?

Oh. Wow.

Quick, everybody down vote op for asking a question

Amazing quality of life upgrade. It feels like a million bucks to have hot water instantly. However, when I looked into this for my home it seemed like it saves water at the increased energy expense of heating your pipes, right? For me it would end up costing more than living without it.

Do I have this wrong?

Fun!

Still trying to figure out exactly what was wrong about what he did. A linked article says:

“…the defendant violated the Lacey Act that restricts wildlife trafficking and prohibits the sale of falsely labeled wildlife.”

I guess specifically bringing embryos/sperm of a banned animal into Montana, more than the cloning operation.

Usually, but not always. Some 5-10 year old games are still north of $50. The price for some movies and TV series has gone up rather than down over the years.

Luckily, as you said there’s so much out there that as long as I don’t get too picky there’s more than enough available without paying gouged prices.

Bought a new keyboard a few weeks ago. Had function keys set to alternative hot keys. Only way Logitech offered to change that was to download their “options+” software. Don’t remember for sure, but the final download size was MASSIVE. The software included AI tools, but had bare minimal settings options. It added support for additional gestures on the keyboard’s track pad, but made the track pad jittery. Made the fn key switch, then uninstalled the software. The setting change didn’t stick once the utility was gone.

Returned the keyboard. So excited for the day when my shoelaces and sunglasses require an Internet connection.

Keeping the floss in am the shower was my eureka moment! Haven’t missed a day since.

Keeping the dish drying rack empty. If it’s empty, it is much more likely that the people you live with will wash their own dishes.

Also, if I am having a rough start to my day sometimes just grinning like a maniac into empty space for a minute sparks a better mood and motivation.
