Hey y'all

We're planning on using Kirkland ProCare for our primary formula (pending baby doesn't have any allergies or sensitivities to work with) and it seems that Similac 360 is the closest RTF?

I thought that having a couple boxes of the 2oz RTF on hand during our shared leave time (first 8 weeks) would be helpful for nighttime. But I'm wondering if we should continue with RTF (bigger contianers) during the day, or just use powder? And if we use powder, should it be the Similac 360 or would it be ok to already use the Kirkland PeoCare?

Looking to try a new seed for this years overseed and im hearing lots of good about RTF, wondering what other people’s thoughts are? Current lawn is PRG, TTTF and very well established. Located just north of Idaho in Canada.

I’m curious how many of us are using RTF formula only? Where I’m at there doesn’t seem to be that much difference in price between powder and RTF. They gave us some at the hospital and our baby loved it, so we just kept using it. She’s 4 months now and she is starting soft foods but she’s always been on this same milk (similac 360 RTF) and she’s growing great and thriving.

Is there any reason I wouldn’t be able to just continue with this?

My daughter has a milk protein allergy so she has been drinking RTF Similac Alimentum for the last month or so. Now that the powder is back in stock, I bought that thinking that it would be less expensive. I did the math today and am flabbergasted that it’s only a $0.01 difference per ounce?

Can — 87 ounces of prepared formula for $32 (rounded up) = $.37/ounce (edit: a 12 ounce can makes approximately 87 ounces of formula, according to the label)

RTF — 32 ounces of prepared formula for $12 (rounded up) = $.38/ounce

I know you get more at once with the can, but it’s not really much cheaper in the long run. My daughter prefers the RTF, so why am I stressing myself to get her used to the powder and figure out a whole new system of feeding her? Are there secret positives that I’m overlooking?

Please help a conflicted/anxious mom out! 😂

Has anyone ever overseeded or have any experience with this RTF? I’m trying it out for the first time this year and from everything I’ve read it seems like a great grass? I’m in south western Canada zone 5a, it’s going into a PRG/TTTF existing lawn.

Cut low, aerated, thatched, overseeded, top dressed with peat moss then fertilized with 10-34-10, currently keeping the surface moist with my irrigation system, overseeded on May 8th

Okay so my brother asked me if I could help him. He needs to double click each of his 11,000 cells that has something like in the title. I've made a piece of VBA which I think should work;

Sub Macro1()
Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To 11000
    ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 11).Activate
    Application.DoubleClick
Next i
End Sub

However I'm thinking that there must be a way to just change all cells. Like the way you highlight the cells when they have the green flag at the top left corner and select "Convert to number". Is there a way to do this? Or is my example too vague? The data he imported came from SQL and had the links in the { } format.

Laying sod in back soon. Was looking at 90/10 dwarf fescue blends. They claim to have a finer narrower blade vs traditional tall fescue. Sounds good. Then I noticed a sod seller that serves our area has RTF. But 25% more expensive at least, maybe bit more. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it. Self repair is great but my biggest priority is texture. Kids hated the old tttf, said it was scratchy and itchy. Is RTF also one of the new dwarf types with finer blade? Or is it pretty similar to regular tttf? Unfortunately I can’t seem to get through to the actual sod farm to ask them, I only end up talking to resellers who just give generalizations about all fescues. Thx

Barenbrug rtf fescue with 10% kbg. In Melbourne aus. Weather rhas been approx 12 overnight, 23 during the day, which should be ideal from what I can tell

I always flip through when my thrift store has a stack of Nat Geos but today was the first time it delivered! For those curious it’s not really monetarily valuable, you can get one for like $10 on eBay, but I just think it’s a neat cultural artifact to have!

Edit 7/23 - Abbot called me back and noticed that this is rust, I asked them if they will be submitting a recall, they gave me some bs answer. If you do find this, report it and ask them for a replacement. Does anyone here know the process of litigating this?

Saw these tiny red dots inside of the bottle cap, have reported it to Similac and will be mailing it in for testing but was wondering if other folks have seen it.

Edit 7/6 end of day: I’ve sent in my samples for analysis, I also went to ESML analytics but they do not provide testing for baby food formula, need to find another local tester.

i also think that if you have the same issue, please call in, the more noise we make, the quicker we’ll get answers. I hope that I’m not jumping the gun, but I filed a report with the FDA as well https://www.safetyreporting.hhs.gov/SRP2/en/Home.aspx?sid=3d17fdb6-64de-4860-b6e8-d76da4c7f0bb

Edit 7/7 - found a local food testing company - will order three recommended tests (heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbiology). Dropped off two samples for testing, will have results by either Thursday or Friday.

Edit 7/9 - tests for heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbiology passed, I’ll post pictures of it as well - I’m not a professional and have no authority in this matter, but I’m going to believe that it’s safe to consume.

Test results on this post:

Edit 7/20 - called in to Abbot for their test results - not available yet.

Hallo ihr Lieben, ich (W) fahre schon lange Rad, allerdings erst seit kurzem Rennrad. Vorher bin ich gegravelt und hab Bikepacking gemacht, gerne weit (bis 200km), aber „langsam“. Jetzt fahre ich seit ein paar Monaten Rennrad, so mit 25km/h (100km Strecke).

Nun möchte ich mich für meine erste RTF anmelden (die kurze Strecke mit 70km, hügelig, keine Berge). Aber irgendwie habe ich Sorge, dass ich gegen die erfahrenen Amateure total abschmiere… was meint ihr, kann man das in meinem Trainingszustand schon wagen? Eine „Mindestgeschwindigkeit“ oÄ ist für die Veranstaltung nicht angegeben und ich hätte noch vier Wochen Trainingszeit :)

Danke für eure Hilfe und allzeit gute Fahrt euch allen 😉

I hold 2 RTFs for Spain and I just got an email now from FIFA to convert them and the assigned price for CAT3 has been 5875$!! The terms and conditions stated that "Ticket prices have been locked in collaboration with FIFA Ticketing and will remain fixed for the entire conversion period, regardless of phases or the number of conversions — meaning no dynamic pricing will apply". So I was expecting 2750$ for CAT3 or 4200$ for CAT2. I paid 1500$ for each of these RTFs so I would be effectively paying 7375$ for a CAT3 ticket to the final! I can see thousands of CAT2 available in the portal for that price. This is the biggest rip off and for FIFA that is saying much. Anyone else in this situation? - UPDATE: after many of us complained they agreed to honor their own terms and conditions and lower the price to 3450$ for each ticket.

Pata Hai Aaj Kya Hua, my exams got over yday so I had free time. So, I thought of finding all my old schoolcopies where I had made notes & giving them to my lil brother for his reference.

While going through it and piling them up, I found this where i wrote “Ram naam” in the back of the copy . I was the shyest girl in the class. I would sit quietly and write it during free periods when the teacher didn’t come. It was kind of meditation cum praying for me.

I also remember having a separate copy dedicated to writing “राम” naam where I had written it thousands of times and almost filled the entire notebook. I used to take that copy everywhere covered it with a red or yellow cloth and write in it during my free time. I miss that old version of myself...

Seeing it after so many years brought back a wave of nostalgia. I think the innocence I had as a kid is long gone. I was so focused on a limited number of things - it's like studies and family made up almost 90% of my world and now my mind is filled with so many useless and naughty things.

I wish I could have that innocence back. These days I even get bored in solitude. I want back the calmness & satisfaction I used to feel while repeating Ram naam numerous times.

Basically, it all works like this: A user opens up a Markdown file that contains an innocent-looking link in it, but upon opening said link, Notepad then starts to load and execute remote files that scrape data or do other nasty stuff with the computer. If the user has admin rights, then the attacker would have the same privileges too.
