You wake your kids up to feed them? Seriously? Whatever ever happened to feeding the kid when it wakes up hungry and demands it? I'm no expert, but waking the kid up to feed it sounds like a bad pattern to get into for the kid.
You're right. You're not an expert. For newborns, making sure they stay nourished is extremely important especially in the first month or so. So if you have a fussy eater or the mom has trouble nursing and wants to be sure the child is getting her milk (better in many ways than any formula out there - especially early on), then yes you might have to wake the baby up every couple of hours.
I mentioned above, TFA refers to it as "sleep maintenance insomnia". I ran into this article yesterday at work and was interested that maybe I'm not as weird as I thought. To make it through the night, my doc gave me a mild sleep-aid that helps some.
I'm the same way. TFA refers to it as "sleep maintenance insomnia". Doesn't really help giving it a name except to know that it may be more common than you may have thought.
For example, all sorts of drugs are tested for all sorts of diseases, but generally the results aren't published unless there is some success.
Unfortunately a lot of failures are published, but sensationalized so that the people doing the research don't appear to have been wasting their time and their sponsors' money. Example:
Researcher: I have reason to believe that Tylenol causes cancer. If this is true, it could have dramatic effects across the planet and could possibly save millions of lives. I only need $150k to research this and believe that the possibility of saving lives drastically outweighs the cost.
Sponsor (University or whatever): If we could prove that, our public image would soar once the world learns what we've done for society. Here's a check.
[Results are inconclusive]
Embarrassed researcher: After my research, I can not say that Tylenol is safe to take from a cancer standpoint. Many people taking it did indeed develop cancer while on the drug.
Sponsor: Splendid - Let's publish and tell the world that we've done the study and can not say conclusively that Tylenol doesn't cause cancer.
"We (in the sense of you and me, specifically) will indeed never get off this rock. But our grandchildren might."
My grandfather said those exact words.
I'm betting you are as wrong as he was
In the case of your grandfather, depending on when he said that, he was right in line with mass public opinion at the time. And he was mistaken - To the astonishment of many, we did get off this rock. Not very many of us made it off and it was just a couple of quick trips to that little rock that spins around us, but you have to admit it was a giant leap for mankind.
Yes they track you - Or at least try as hard as they can. It also means that you're not really affected by this as the data is not associated with a Google account.
What if I bought a camera, and then a bunch of lenses for it.
This is slashdot - We use car analogies. What if I bought a 1949 Ford and spent a bunch of money improving it. Then, just a few years later, Ford stops making replacement parts for it and my improvements are incompatible to remove and install in their new model. I could go buy the replacement parts used, but instead I'll boycott Ford.
I just have to be the best dad I can be in the interim even if she is constantly trying to convince them I'm and abusive lunatic. The best revenge is living well.
Agree 100%. For the record, I consider NOT talking shit about their mom to them part of being a good dad. It may make me feel better and may even hurt her some, but it hurts my boys too. So, I treat them well (resisting the temptation of spoiling them to bias affection), try to encourage a healthy relationship with their (soon-to-be) step-brother, step-sister, and step mom, and generally take care of my own life.
I don't know what this dude wrote about his ex on FB and it's a complete load of crap that he has to go online and apologize unless it was a plea agreement for slander or something, but moving out of the place where you feel the need to talk shit even when you're taking it in the tooter from the state is the healthiest thing to do for everyone involved.
(BTW - As a guilty side note ex-wife is pretty cute, but fiancee is hot - By real world standards, not/. standards. That has nothing to do with why I'm choosing to marry her, but I do think it irks the ex...)
Good luck with that. See how long that rational, amicable divorce crap holds up when she turns into a vindictive psycho (even if *she* was the one who cheated or wanted the divorce in the first place).
My cousin had a nice, rational wife. She had his dog put to sleep during their divorce. True story.
Do I know you? My ex is the only one that I'd heard of that literally had my dog put to sleep during the divorce. I was out of town on business. And, when I came back, she decided she wanted full custody and said that if I tried to pick up the kids from school on one of my days "on", she'd call the cops and have them go to the school. Completely groundless and she knew that, but it means that the kids and teachers see the person she's been talking shit about confronted by the cops and asked to leave...
I've got them 50/50 now, but it took months and better than $10k in lawyer's fees even though there were no mitigating issues and the law is dead clear (at least in this state).
Logically, you can't say "If X is true, then Y has a big reason to lie about it, so X is probably true!"
So, logically you can't say "If the landings were faked, then the government would have a big reason to lie about it, so the moon landings were probably faked!"
Makes sense to me - And I've seen more than a couple of conspiracy theorists use similar "logic" to support all kinds of crazy stuff.
I don't know how common it is, but a lot of the produce that isn't sold in my local market is donated to local animal shelters. And yes, many consumers prefer the artificially colored/waxed/preserved stuff that is so much prettier than the rest, but I can't believe there's anything like 40% "waste".
Is it the US government's responsibility to ensure that Megaupload's business model remains viable during litigation?
I don't expect these guys to be exonerated (but it could happen...) However, if I was accused of a crime I didn't commit I'd be extremely upset if my family and I were blocked from paying the bills resulting in a foreclosed home, repossessed car, and auctioned-off possessions when I was released.
At least in the short term. But presumably, after formatting the servers, rather than preserve them for posterity they'd incorporate them for other storage uses, so any remaining data would begin its trip to the netherworld fairly quickly.
True but then, why not experiment with the LEAST harmful virus to learn about "natural process", instead of starting with one already hyper-deadly?
Emergency broadcast from the CDC: "We've had reports that a new mutated strain of the common cold virus has been detected in multiple metropolitan areas and seems to be spreading at exponential rates among the population. Thanks to years of research by our dedicated scientists, we are prepared for this circumstance and have procedures in place. We recommend that everyone wash their hands regularly and cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. If you suspect that you may have already contracted this disease, please stay home for 2 or 3 days before returning to work, eat some chicken soup, drink plenty of fluids, and get some bed rest. Thank the gods we were prepared for this terrible epidemic and know how to react."

Am I really reading an argument over the semantics of the word 'semantics'?

Bottled water and/or meat are probably stronger examples here than honey.
If only because Penn & Teller did Bullshit episodes on the topics that slashdotters will be familiar with...

"Steel" string isn't going to cut it. There are bigger hurdles than getting it up there and a reasonable alternative to "steel" is just one of them.
This is fantastic. Finally my ship will stop drifting backwards when I fire my ion cannons.
TFA states that it was an airline official who refused to allow the passenger to board, not an agent of the government.
To be fair, TFS says that too... But I guess you were right anticipating government policy rants rather than airport policy rants.
I think you're misunderstanding that post:

Let's ban child phonography.... cut off their customer base, and drive the bastards out of business.
I hope you were just being clever there because you're right. The British Phonographic Industry are acting like children.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
It has happened before, it will happen again.
These are wild animals, not typical adoption shelters. You can toss a hungry bear pretty much anything and be assured that he'll eat it.
I don't know how common it is, but a lot of the produce that isn't sold in my local market is donated to local animal shelters.

It's still just a variation of the Flu. Some people will be resistant.
Wonderful. We've just shifted out of 12 Monkeys and entered The Stand...
