As someone who has two living IVF babies, 8 frozen embryos remaining, and is also Christian, this line struck a particularly strong chord:

"Nobody understands more that an embryo is not a child, than the person yearning for that embryo to be a child."

Yeah, I watched this a few days ago and also came away thinking it was one of the better episodes I've seen.

Have a 9 month old and am also concerned. At least I am on maternity leave until September and so he's not in daycare yet.

I work in construction and when I was younger and single I did a couple years ago a remote work site; two weeks on and one week off rotations. We all stayed in the company provided camp while there. Definitely formed some strong friendships with my coworkers while there and made/saved a ton of money. It was an interesting experience.

I was a field engineer but jobs in the trades are always in high demand pretty much everywhere.

I make butter chicken from sometimes but if I'm doing a "too lazy to cook" version it's with jarred sauce and leftover rotisserie chicken.

I also heard that one floating around the engineering school I attended.

I work in construction and I don't know that I agree. They're digging a tunnel for a road, not mining, and earthworks crews generally consistent of equipment operators and labourers.

My dad has a gun licence (Canadian) and interestingly, he mentioned there was a place in the application where your spouse (and/or former spouse) must sign off on your application too. I can see how that might hinder a few violent exes.

I mean, if you're breastfeeding they do get like that sometimes, but the placement of the boobs so far apart is what weirds me out

This class did a big chunk of their highschool through the pandemic didn't they? I imagine they probably are a bit behind because of it.

As someone with family members who are type 1 diabetics, I have heard the joke that everyone who gets diagnosed with it is told there will be a cure in 10 years. It's nice to see they've started trials on this at least.
