What does the outlet do? The white square makes me think it's a motion sensor perhaps but IDK.

It's a nightlight. It also has a light sensor so it turns on/off (and dims) with the ambient light. That part is way too sensitive, but it's also an LED so what do I care. Makes a great baby toy.

My cousin and her partner are dishing out 25 grand so their baby can be born in Canada. A small price to pay so the poor little girl doesn't have to be born American, in my eyes.

This is not a derail worth doing. Also I was off by $4k and that was just the facility charge.

Certainly sound worth it to me since it's a big purchase in the buy thread. Certainly interesting to know how expensive these things can get. Not planning on having a debate on the subject though, just wanted to know if the figure was realistic.

The answer is yes and no, depends on the state and your insurance plan.

Because if so, jaunting off to Canada and having the baby there still makes it an American citizen.

For us I think we were around ~$1250 out of pocket soup to (literal) nuts. We have a $500 deductible 90/10 PPO and were in network everything. These are all contract rates: Hospital $12k, OB $1.8k (all visits and delivery), Baby hospital charge $1.7k. Plus some nickel and dime charges, and others that were covered "without cost sharing" (to the tune of $6k, which I assume is THANKS OBAMA but who knows it's insurance.) In theory the math is ($12000+1800+1700-1000)*.10 + $1000 = total, but :iiam: . ($500 deductible per patient.)

Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!
Adding to my Kinks LP collection by slowly buying up original Pye mono releases.

So far have added, just before Christmas,

:allears:

Shortly after the new year got this one

:circlefap:

and

awiting the arrival of this one, due in probably midweek this week :dance:



I've got the stereo Pye releases, but mono is God's own sound (and the way they were originally recorded). The American Reprise mono LPs are ghastly in comparison to their British cousins.

I'm not up on my Canadian citizenship laws but it may also have the baby being a Canadian citizen. Anchor babies could be en vogue in this administration as a way out.

I think I'd really want the wifi version to monitor my steaks over internet, hopefully it doesn't stay twice the price of bluetooth forever.

The Wifi is pointless; all it does is let you change the temperature remotely, which you don't need to do because thats the opposite of cooking sous vide, and it tells you when your timer goes off, which you can do with a loving timer.

I've have the bluetooth version since Christmas, and I haven't used the bluetooth capabilities since the first time I tried it to see how it worked.

My cousin is Canadian, her wife is Argentinian, and they live in Switzerland. Apparently they can't both be the parents in either Switzerland or France without jumping through some extraordinary hoops, so coming back here for a month and shelling out 25k was the lesser of three evils.

Yeah, luckily the baby can get Canadian citizenship no problem.
In France they would have had to get married in France 2 months before the baby was born, and live there for at least a month, then spend approximately 4 years in a legal grey area to maybe be allowed to adopt their own baby.
At least if they stay in Geneva their grandchildren will be naturalized Swiss citizens.

I bought this Gourmia Sous Vide unit and it works great and has WiFi and is only $120 though I got mine for $100 on sale around christmas.

I was kinda skeptical about sous vide at first but I have fallen in love with steaks done that way. So much better. The only real issue I see is if you have multiple people who like their steaks different temps but then I guess you could do them all to the lowest temp and just sear them a little more for the ones who like terrible steaks overcooked their meat cooked more.
