Kid #1 will be born sometime within the next 2-5 weeks. I am just soaking up all the information right now...

Personally, I listen to my local classical station online, and if I like a particular version of a song, I find it on their playlist and see if it’s on Spotify. This wouldn’t be worth the subscription fee to me.

Agreed.

I work for a small all-male company. I’m pregnant with our first. The owners already tend to disclose what kid-related emergency they’re leaving to address (snow day? illness? school event?), so I’m grateful for the precedent.

Yes! My normal cycles have been anywhere from 29 to 45 days. Mostly I would get anxious about ruining underwear and waste a ton of pads and liners by wearing them “just in case” I started my period. This could be weeks off the mark. Now I’ve got it down to the day (+/- a day).

I agree, respecting the advice of medical professionals is incredibly important! Hormone-based therapy can do a lot of good for correcting the clinical disorders you mentioned.

My husband and I have used the sympto-thermal method for years. We have had zero unplanned pregnancies and now one planned pregnancy.

These are great coping suggestions!

I’ve traveled to China twice for work - the first time, I tossed an entire bottle of Dayquil into my bag at the last minute, just in case I were to get sick on the three-week winter trip. I regretted packing that unwieldy bottle almost immediately, and took it off my packing list when I got home. I should have just…

Oh, this is exactly what my Friday afternoon needs. Excited for some really pumped-up CAD work.

Does anyone know if the Google Play Edition devices are treated any differently? Would HTC/Samsung or Google have the final say in the updates? This has always been a bit of a mystery to me.

My two-year old HTC One bricked today, seemingly irreversibly without an expensive off-warranty repair. It has been enough for me to give a second glance at iOS (seeing as I’ve been a Mac user for years). I would miss Google Now, Google Keep, the seamless integration with my well-organized Google contacts, and the…

I’m a proud engineering alumna from one of the top 5 schools listed here. I am also proud to have accepted my dream job (and, along with it, the lowest starting salary of my graduating class). It’s not all about the numbers — my choice of college and the effort I put towards my education gave me the option to choose a…

I got this one as a Christmas gift last year. I like the lid and that the bottom is grippy to help keep it upright while grinding. I don't know too much about Hario's other models to compare, but this is a quality product.

You sound frighteningly like someone I know... and have also outlined a situation I'm afraid I may find myself in when I graduate in a little over a year (also in mechanical engineering).

Nothing wrong with living in Kentucky... there are some very nice places to live in the state. Unfortunately, the simple act of living here doesn't make everything automatically affordable (that would be nice), but I'll admit it probably helps.

I'm a bit late to the game, but I'm an engineering student, and this is how I work!

Yeah, this one was part of Delta's fleet heading from Atlanta to Germany. The way back was much better (window seat, individual screens).

Definitely don't book your flight late and get stuck in the middle of the middle section on a packed trans-Atlantic flight... between two large gentlemen and RIGHT in front of a communal TV screen that stays on ALL NIGHT.

An electric alarm clock and my phone both reside on my nightstand overnight. The alarm clock is set to go off 11 minutes before the phone. After the alarm clock goes off, I get to hit snooze three times before my phone starts to emit the most obnoxious sound I could pick.
