Large companies here will usually top up the EI benefits to the full amount for 3 months. And you can split the time up however you and your partner want.

I guess I’m used to 52 weeks of maternity/paternity combined leave being standard with firms obligated to have you back.

At a minimum I’d word it a bit more professionally than ‘Pregnancy Pause’. Also - I’d expect most people would be returning to their same place of employment so why bother? I never put months on a resume or LinkedIn profile so a 12 month absence wouldn’t be obvious in any case. 

My wife and I two kids by midwife in a hospital here in Toronto. It wasn’t some kind of Goop lifestyle choice, we just wanted simple, quality care. The midwife we had was very qualified and was prepared to hand us off to an OB if the birth was going to be a problem.

I’ve bought tons of stuff from AliExpress which is Alibaba but for individuals. Alibaba is where you buy an ISO container full of something.

Mold is likely MORE of an issue in a new house. The older homes aren’t air tight so moisture gets trapped and moisture = mold.

I immediately thought of Gerald Bull and the work done in Project HARP.

I always sort my clothes so that quick drying items like lycra leggings and sports tops are combined. That way they don’t get over cooked in the dryer with something that takes a long time like a towel is in there.

had to restate over a year’s worth of sales they booked, should have recognized it over multiple years and some of it was COGS not revenue

Whenever I see Greg Maffei’s name I know that meritocracy is a lie. This is the guy who while he was CEO of 360Networks they had to book negative revenue one quarter.

the pain was the worst gas pain I’ve ever had. They were tasty but not worth it especially as they’re expensive.

everyone of my bikes gets a bell, front light and a rear light. For my city bike I use one of these as it rings at 100 dB and while loud isn’t too obnoxious.

I have this problem with our built in cans. This is perfect Lifehacker material
