This here too. Saved us once when the taxi broke down on the way to the airport, and we were still there in plenty of time (taxi company sent another one out to pick us up).

It’s not too bad, you should get a pretty good confidence interval result from that (even when corrected) sample size. (If I remember my stats classes correctly.)

Same thing, one’s just state-level and one’s national.

iPhone actually, but the phone fumbling is also annoying. Loud and lots of activity compared to just looking at my wrist and tapping the button. I’m very near-sighted so I’d have to pick up the phone and hold it near my face.

The backup was for my fear it might slip off during the night, or that I’d sleepily shut it off and fall back asleep.

This could have been written by me - my husband used to sleep later than I did, and I switched to using my Fitbit One (in its cloth-and-Velcro wristband accessory) as my alarm clock. It rests against the inside of my wrist and buzzes against it to wake me. I set my phone alarm for 10 minutes later as a backup alarm…

I tend to think I’m a pretty heavy sleeper, and it works fine for me. YMMV.

The “protein powder” part of that is important. That is super-concentrated protein with no or almost no fat/carbs, and therefore lowish in calories as well. It’s also something the average person does not have sitting around the house, and doesn’t really think about needing, finding useful, etc. I had an “average…

I’d love to hope I would have the presence of mind (but probably wouldn’t) to counsel this newly-transitioning woman into how to get laser hair removal for facial hair, seek out a sympathetic doctor for hormones, and maybe even offer to shop in that Target with her for makeup and clothing - wouldn’t want that…

Yes, was going to post about this - the medical center where I work uses it as well. It’s very useful, plus more secure than unencrypted e-mail.

Yup. Better be feminine or masculine enough, or GTFO.

Yeah, very much YMMV it seems. Never (knowingly) pregnant here, even - I was prescribed a dose of misoprostol to take(to soften up the cervix) the night before, and sure, there was some pain on insertion but it was more the ‘hold your breath and get through it’ level. Afterwards some minor cramping and bingo, no more…

Like this guy?

You can have no-BGH-used milk without having to pay for organic, though I suspect there’s a higher overlap with organic.

And yeah, I’ll grant that, which is why you should treat it like a blind date. (Your friends/relatives have shitty taste sometimes, admit it.)

Well, that’s why you treat online dating like a blind date that someone set you up on. Get to an in-public, in-person meeting quickly rather than dragging it out, have it somewhere easy to leave, set up short dates and figure out if there’s chemistry OR if you get the “whoa, something’s up” feeling. I’m still not…

I get what you're saying, but think about it, you don't really have any way of knowing that the people you meet in person aren't awful human beings either.

Not with this subscription, but what I’ve done is to get a bunch of small sandwich or snack-size Ziploc-type bags, check the portion size on the label, and count/weigh/portion out the serving size into individual bags. Label if needed (snack name, maybe some nutritional info like calories/protein/whatever you care…

Happened to my mom, except there wasn’t any sound. She got up before him, and finally went to wake him up because he wasn’t up yet, and he was already pretty cold.

Admittedly, there is a lot of info out there claiming that it will feel better after a while if you keep going. :(
