What is the best house to build in Banished?
This is a question I had after several playthroughs. The stone house is an upgrade from the wood house. Its advantages are it costs less resources to keep warm in winter, and is fireproof when the kids are playing with matches. The cons are it is very expensive to build, if you are upgrading an existing house, the people living there become homeless unless you have an even more expensive boarding house for them to move into for a while. Maybe build the stone house instead of the wood house? Well it takes much more "work" time to complete and still uses more resources, both of which do not help in the early game when you are trying to get the houses finished before winter sets in and your colonists freeze to death, and you do not start with much stone, and even if you build your starting homes in a stone field full of stone, the colonists take forever mining it and them building with it. Even in the midgame, several of the production buildings take a lot of stone, which you will not have when you build a lot of stone houses.
Things get even more complicated when you play Mega Mod, or Colonial Charters. Each introduces several dozen new houses, and many of those have multiple upgrades that require mid to late game resources to upgrade. I have found a few websites with some basic math information on some of these homes, but nothing that includes all of them. So I have gone through about 80-100 hours of playthroughs on 5 different maps and have built most, if not all of these different homes. I have collected all the housewares, furniture, servewares, etc to upgrade every type of home, followed each family member in their daily travels to see their productivity, noted down what fuel was used and how much, and did the math to determine the best.
Please note all of these playthroughs were played on Mega Mod with basic functions enabled. I ran none with mods that provided extra resources, or doubled the ranges or production of any building to play as vanilla as possible, with just the new building and resources. All of these playthroughs did focus on trading, mostly for lots of extra food, but also to provide some of the more complicated resources like Building Supplies, Hardwares, Fancy Hardwares, Joists, Glasswares, etc. I did build all of the production buildings at least once, before determining which ones were a waste of time and resources when traders offered them regularly. In fact the easiest way to get any building material you need is to build the train engines, where you can trade "Coin" for any resource available in the game. So as long as you trade for coins, or create the train depots that trade resources for coins, you can get all that you need. I generally have a dedicated Industry Trading Post, if not multiple, just to get these kinds of things just to build the different housing.
What is the best house to build in Banished?
And the final verdict is: the basic wooden house is the winner. Yes, there are literally dozens of homes that provide more warmth, have space for more than 5 occupants, have much larger storage capacity. But none of this matter that much in a basic playthrough. I have built the White House, the Light House home, all of the grand manors, the 3 story homes, the estates, the farm houses, the log cabins. All of the houses that connect directly to production buildings, All of the houses that go on water. And here is what I found. Only one family out of thousands that I saw had more than 3 kids in the home at one time, and I think that one was a nomad family moving into a newly refurbished manor home that could hold 8 people. Never once did I ever see an existing family, even when building homes for two 12 year olds so they could get to breeding early, ever have more than 3 kids. In fact the vast majority had only 2 kids. I build a marketplace and surrounded it with an 80 wood, 40 stone, 2 houseware stately manor that held 8 people, for a total of 16 homes. 6 had 3 kids, 9 had 2 kids, one just had one child. So building the larger homes had almost no effect on population growth. There were several homes that only allow 4 people, even a couple of tents that allow 3. None of these are viable just for that reason.
There are several other viable options. There is one called a small home, that specifically states it has the same stats as a wood house, the difference is a wood house is 4x5, and the small house is 3x4. So on the side of a marketplace, with roads extending out on all sides, you can fit 3 wooden houses, or 4 small houses. Each cost 16 wood and 8 stone. Another one I liked is under the townhomes, there are 2 tower like homes, one 4x4, one 4x2. These smaller footprints are great on filling up some of those nocks and crannies created by hills, creek, rivers, or other map oddities. The Rustic Home uses zero stone, but there are no variations, so they are all just gray boxes. The Townhome with a 2x6 uses 16 wood, 8 stone and 1 iron, and comes in different colors, build fast and don't take up a lot of space, I just don't like the modern look of them, but they would look great in a planned community with some of the more modern looking building and decorations.
Heating is never a problem with these poorly insulated homes, as you are already maxing out firewood production for trade, so everyone can grab some early on. With Mega Mod, charcoal burners are an early addition needed for setting up some of the basic industries. Even with these industries using the charcoal to produce more efficient fuel sources, a single charcoal burner can provide enough fuel to heat 100-150 homes. Once the firewood starts to fill your trading posts, the market vendors with start stocking charcoal and the nearby homes with start using it instead. Most will take around 100 charcoal, and I find this one time stocking keeps them warm for 4-5 years in game! In my 100 hours of playtesting, the only times I would see the freezing icon come up was when some idiot would get stuck on the opposite side if a creek, or a builder would finish up a waterside building from the side and get stuck on the edge of the water. Building a quick bridge, or using the land flattener to raise the land under a stuck citizen would fix the problem.
The only real issue for all these wooden homes is if you play with disasters on. Fire is a problem, but if I am playing hardcore, I use some of that stone I am saving and build a well in every corner of the marketplace pod surrounded by homes. That way every home is no more than 2 houses away from a water source. Building these housing pods near the river or creeks helps with this as well. I did one playthrough on the land of lakes map with the vast majority of buildings built over the water and had no fore issues ever. The tornado that did a circle 8 did take out a third of my homes about 30 years in one playthrough though.
Hope this helps those new players or new to the mod players, and especially to those players out there Googling for help, as there are not a lot of good websites with comprehensive information. Everyone in this subreddit has been great to me, and the Steam forum is nice, but there is not a lot of info on what all these new mod building do, or why would you use them.
Questions and comments always welcome.

In my opinion, it is legitimately shocking that anyone who has any idea what is going on believes that Israel is committing genocide. I'm completely opened to having my mind changed as I'm admittedly probably uneducated on this topic, just looking for some other opinions. For this entire post, I will be operating under the assumption that "Seventy-one percent of all Palestinians supported Hamas’s decision to attack Israel on October 7", "Only 5 percent of Palestinians think Hamas’s massacre on October 7 constitutes a war crime." and that "Fifty-nine percent of all Palestinians thought Hamas should rule Gaza, and 70 percent were satisfied with the role Hamas has played during the war." (Source)
For the sake of a hypothetical, let us pretend that Israel and Palestine/Hamas suddenly swapped places, meaning the Palestinians now have full access to the military of Israel. Does anyone honestly believe that they would waste any time in slaughtering every Jew they could possibly find? If they had a "Kill every Jew button", they would press it 100 times every day until the end of time just to make sure that every Jew was dead.
Israel essentially has a "Kill every Palestinian" button. If they really wanted to, they could completely flatten the entirety of Gaza and murder every single person there. But they haven't. Around 35,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed since October 7th, and around 80,000 have been wounded. This is around 140 deaths and 320 wounded per day since October 7th. If you genuinely believe that Israel's main goal in this conflict is to commit a genocide and wipe the Palestinian people off the face of Earth, then you also must admit that this is the single worst attempt at genocide in all of human history, period. So far, in Israel's quest to "genocide" the people of Palestine, while also being backed by the greatest military power in history, they have only managed to kill less than a percent of the population. While this is a significant number, this is not anywhere close to the maximum amount of civilians they could have killed, nor anywhere close enough to constitute genocide in my opinion. For lack of a better term, there are plenty of "more successful" genocides in human history. Cambodia for example was around 2 million people over 4 years, and after some basic math that was 8.5x as deadly as the quote "genocide" in Gaza. Also worth noting that Cambodia was not at war at the time, it only began after the end of the civil war.
I also believe that a key hallmark of a genocide is the sacrifice of other, often borderline essential, parts of the war machine and resources at large in order to maximize the amount of people being killed in said genocide. I am yet to see any sort of convincing evidence or argument to show that this is what Israel is doing. They are not wasting military resources to maximize civilian deaths from what I have seen. That being said, they do not try to minimize civilian deaths. While this is obviously reprehensible and they should absolutely be criticized for doing so, it is not a genocide. Their unwillingness to minimize civilian deaths, in my opinion, does not show an "intent to destroy" ethnic Palestinians.
This makes it very hard for me to justify any sort of support for Hamas/Palestine. It is most definitely horrible for 2 warring countries to not make efforts to minimize the deaths of civilians, but that is not the same as genocide. I honestly believe that Israel is just being petty, at least that is my interpretation. I would not consider myself a Zionist or someone who supports Israel, but it is impossible for me to justify supporting Palestine when I know for a fact that given the same tools Israel has, they would attempt to eradicate Jewish people from Earth. Before you say "That is Hamas not Palestinians", understand that I am operating under the belief that 70-75% of Palestinians support Hamas,
Tldr; Israel is not doing anything to minimize the deaths of Palestinian civilians, but they are also not trying to maximize the deaths of Palestinian civilians. While this is bad and they should be criticized for it, it is not a genocide. On the flipside, if Hamas/Palestine had the ability to do so, they would try as hard as possible to Maximize civilian deaths. This makes it hard for me to justify support of Hamas and Palestine, considering 70% of their population supports Hamas, leaving me to assume that that same 70% also wants to eradicate Jews, just like Hamas.
Again, I am more than willing to change my mind, I just need 1. Evidence that Israel is actively trying to kill as many Palestinian civilians as possible, or 2. Evidence that Palestinians not only do not support Hamas, but also are not advocates for the eradication of Jews. In other words, they could "not support Hamas" because the leadership is terrible, not because they disagree with the ideals.

Please add stuff that I missed in the comments. Or things you think should be looked into and adjusted.

• Stratagems

1. -1 Stratagem slot modifier needs to go. Or, you could still choose to bring a stratagem in a red slot but it's disabled during the mission. It'll be back online after you completed additional objectives such as disabling all AA fire in the area. \ \
   
2. 500Kg bomb's hilariously small AOE. And its inconsistencies at killing some enemies despite having landed right in their faces.
   
3. Orbital Railcannon Strike cooldown too long. And please give its pre-nerf auto select range back.
   
4. Orbital Barrage. Instead of precision aiming allies they better have a vague aim for enemy buildings and big units.
   
5. Eagle Rocket Pods should prioritize landing all rockets on a single big enemy near its beacon instead of spreading it evenly like siblings sharing a pint of orange juice.
   
6. Shield Generator Relay is too weak. It needs to last much longer and cover 20% more area.
   
7. MD-I4 Incendiary Mines. Cover bigger area and more mines. Also we need more mines type stratagems for democracy!
   
8. Sentries. Either let us place it on high ground like a normal logical coherent thing it is. Or make it so it gets lower aggro. I'm still baffled by the devs' pursuit of realism while you can't even place sentries on a slightly elevated flat surface. It's so wacky lol. Btw the machinegun sentry might needs lower cooldown
   
9. Orbital Gatlin is just not good.
   
10. It would make sense that anything came from the orbit to deal high damage. Would be a nice addition if the Orbital EMS, Smoke and Gas Strikes shell can kill enemies or destroy buildings on initial impact.
    

• Support weapons

1. Airburst Locket Rauncher needs a button for us to detonate the rocket manually.
   
2. I've only seen 3 to 5 persons used the Arc Thrower in the past month and half of the time they got it from a point of interest. I think that explained its situation pretty well.
   
3. Why can't we just make the Stalwart replace your primary weapon after picking it up?
   
4. Give Quasar Cannon -1 or 2 seconds of cooldown and it'll be perfectly balanced.
   
5. Railgun should be able to penetrate and damage enemies in a line.
   
6. Spear :)
   
7. It would be nice for the Laser Cannon to have shorter wind up time.
   

• Backpacks

1. Guard Dog and Guard Dog Rover need to stop headshotting players. Either make it fly at a different angle or let Helldivers take significantly reduced damage from it.
   
2. After the darkfluid backpack we can all agree the Jump Pack MUST get a shorter recharge time and a stronger thrust. It'll be very nice to make it an upgrade or reward for completing a MO.
   
3. Please give us the pre-nerf shield generator back. There are simply too little options for survivability related stratagems.
   
4. So about the Ballistic shield backpack...Why can't we just salvage the shield Devastator's shield and make our own REAL ballistic shield with it. Instead of this one we currently have that's made out of reinforced cardboard?
   

• Vehicles

1. Come on man just equip the Exosuits with actual heavy armors instead of toilet papers.

• Automatons

1. Hulks have faster turning speed than the Helldivers. It's equipped with advanced flamethrower which fires way more lethal damage and wider longer range. Makes me wonder why we can't salvage those and upgrade ours. They can also tank 4×6=24 and more impact grenades right on the head.
   
2. Factory Striders can use their height and snipe the generators in defense missions.
   
3. Shield Devastator and Rocket Devastator. Both have unlimited ammo, long range, short reload, super accuracy, wall hack and tanky body. What the duck. They're quacking imbalanced.
   
4. Automatons can shoot through solid covers. Automatons can aim and shoot through thick fogs like it's nonexistent. Automatons are still locked onto you and shooting despite being half a map away. Their aggro distance is insane.
   
5. You can get juggled around by their explosives and stunlocked in that stupid ragdoll animations till you die. Tbh it's painfully funny.
   
6. Warning: You are in range of enemy artillery. Warning: You are in range of enemy artillery. Warning: You are in range of enemy artillery. Warning: You are in range of enemy artillery. Warning: You are in range of enemy artillery.
   
7. Our helmets got no extra stats or passives to protect us from headshots. Wonder why you still get one shot lots of times wearing heavy armor with the 50% explosion resistant passive? That's why.
   

• Terminids

1. Spewers vomit can one shot heavy armor in 0.3 seconds. Its damage should be a stackable damage over time and Spitters damage can amplify it.
   
2. Hunters are super agile, have high damage, appears in great numbers, medium health and they can also apply this insanely annoying slow effect on you. They and the stealth Spewers are the bane of everyone's existence.
   
3. Bile Titan can apply slow on your without line of sight. Also I wish my joints were as strong as theirs.
   

• Game wide issues.

1. Alt-tab can crush the game. Tab-ESC can crush the game. Pressing Window key can crush the game. Double tapping ESC during a loading screen after a mission can freeze the game or it can kick everyone out of your squad. (These are my personal experience tho)
   
2. Misaligned scopes. Scopes with limited visibility. Scopes with poorly designed patterns further crippling the visibility.
   
3. Stems, the thing that you use in emergencies to save your life, can be interrupted EASILY with ANY damage you take from the enemies. Rendering it completely useless in emergencies. How is that a coherent design?
   
4. Overused slow effects. Ragdolling takes too long to recover from.
   
5. Despite having big fat clappy butts weighted over several tons some enemies can still play stealthily better than anyone. Such as tanks and Spewers who are completely silent for some reason.
   
6. Enemies walking through piles of corpses like it's nothing but players are forced to circle around it because we can't climb it for some reason.
   
7. Enemy corpses are deadlier than when they were alive.
   
8. Very tight window to shut down enemies that are calling for reinforcements. The reinforced enemies immediately call in for support. The support forces arrived and the next thing they do is to call for their comrades. What the heck.
   
9. Mission preview doesn't include possible enemy type encounters. Maybe we can have this as an upgrade or the reward for keeping some planets liberated.
   

I absolutely despise the place i was born. Since we are kids they tell us to love our country... love what? "love our flag, colors, traditions" when it's all shit. I don't give a fuck about that damned flag, or to what people enjoy about this hellish place. People here r always trying to pretend like life in my country is a party, everything is great because we live in a great nation admired by people all over the world, when this place actually sucks so hard. I've been hating my country since i was a kid, it just happened that i was born in a shithole, i never had a bigger perspective my whole life because we are taught that there's nothing better than our country, "why moving out to another place? there's nothing better than here".
Why i hate living here? well, to start my country is noisy as fuck, people actually enjoy being loud, playing loud music, everyday you can hear fireworks not those beautiful sparkling fireworks, just the noisy ones that damage animals ears. It's violent, the streets are messy, you can't have a nightwalk because you might be killed/robbed, public transport is completely awful and crowded, low salaries, low life expectancy, low quality of life. One of the things i hate is the goddamned football, holy fuck people won't care if their houses are in flames but they will kill you if their trash football club lost a game. The music is worthless too, there's idiots blasting this noise which is just some women moaning with sound effects. What i hate the most is the fact that people actually like living in this place, i could never relate with them, i wished i was born in a country like Switzerland with great landscapes and chill lifestyle, or Japan with a quite unique society and ancient traditions. I live in Bra *toilet sounds* zil if you are wondering, one of the worst places on whole the universe.

Hello everyone, I'm moving into a smaller space so I'm needing to downsize so I'm selling just about my entire lab. Timestamps. Only accepting Paypal with invoice for payment. Buyer pays for shipping to their locale. Feel free to send any offers as a PM.
First item for sale is a Supermicro CSE-846 chassis that has been pretty heavily kitted out for silence. I paid $700 for the unit and sunk several hundreds of dollars into it. Asking $1000. Details on improvements below.

• I replaced the BPN-SAS2-846EL1 backplane that initially came with it and replaced it with a BPN-SAS3-846EL1 backplane for higher throughput. SAS3 unit costed me $200.
• I removed the original 80mm fan wall, had a 3x 120mm fan wall 3D printed, and installed that in it's place, installed with 3 120mm Noctua fans(the original fan wall and original fans can be included if you ask for them). I think the wall costed $100 to print and the fans were $100 new for a $200 value.
• I additionally had a 3x 140mm fan bezel that goes on top of the drives 3D printed to push air though the drives, installed with 3 140mm Noctua fans. This one costed a couple hundred to print plus another $100 for the fans for a $300 value.
• Includes 1x 920w super quiet(SQ) power supply. $30 value
• Includes a LSI9300-16i in IT mode and a cable matched to the backplane so you shouldn't need to worry about finding a matching HBA when you buy the unit. $50 value
• Includes a front panel adapter that allows you to power on and use non-Supermicro motherboards with the unit. $15 value, OEM part bought from Supermicro.
• Includes a Supermicro CBL-0424L 8-pin to two 6+2 Pin adapter cable. Allows you to power an 8pin PCIe card using stock power supplies. $40 value, OEM part bought from Supermicro.

Second item for sale is an AsRock Rack X470D4U server motherboard for Ryzen CPUs, asking $375. I/O plate included.
Third for sale is a Ryzen 7 3700X. Includes the Noctua cooler on top. Not 100% sure what the cooler is since I can't find my purchase order for it, but it's a solid cooler and cools the CPU just fine. Asking $110.
Fourth for sale is an Aruba S2500-48P-4x10G 48-Port PoE Gigabit Switch. Reason I bought it is because it's one of the cheapest switches on the market with 4 full dedicated 10Gb SFP+ ports with no additional licensing needed to use them. All ports are PoE. It's old but it's cheap, rock solid and has full simultaneous throughput on all ports. I have noctua swapped this unit with 2 40mm noctua fans. $80 switch, $30 in fans, asking $100.
Next up is a Supermicro 826, includes 1x Supermicro 920w super quiet(sq) power supply. Asking $200.
Last but not least, I have an Eaton 9PX3000RT double conversion 3000VA UPS with a matching 9PXEBM72RT. Powers my 100W~ lab for-goddamned-ever. Asking $1000 for the pair.
Feel free to reach out with any comments, questions or concerns.

The endless skies of Pandora are home to many races who reside within the great Islands that drift through its winds, its gusted tides ridden by the great Shardships of the Skylords and the most daring of isolated crews that sail its skies in search of Recognition, reward and plenty. . . but this, this is not where your story begins.
Like the many who are in the favor of perhaps kinder Skylords, and the many more who are free beneath those that are not. you however are no longer among them, Whether guilty or not you and your fellows have been cast aside and Branded. . . Marked by the glyphs of the lost, Slaves to the free. Un-claimed slaves like yourself serve your sentences within the Aetheryte Mines of "The Sliver", A particularly inhospitable Sky-island. Its magically infused mines a prison for marked slaves to work their lives in harvesting the vital fuel of the Great ships of better men. but perhaps this too, this grim fate is not. . . the end of your story.
Hello and welcome everyone, its my great pleasure to announce the call to arms for my new homebrew game. I'm looking for 4-5 eager skyfarers itching to make a name for themselves in the dangerous skies of Pandora. If you're a player who is looking for a consistent and experienced gm, with a drive to create interesting content and weaving character stories into an over arching narrative while also yourself being just as willing to fully throw yourself into the role of your character you will find yourself more than welcome at my table.

About me:

• I'm a passionate artist and gm who has been playing ttrpg's (Mostly running) for the past 8 years, When it comes to my games I love rp and developing character stories within the plots of the game. And just generally the theatrics of playing out npc's for players to bounce off of.
• My games are generally within the 60% RP to 40% combat range but can vary depending on circumstances in the game. I'm a gm who isnt afraid to play to the Golden rule of fun for creative idea's and problem solving. but am an always open teach to a systems rules when needed.
• My tables are open to any and all who are committed to promoting a positive game experience at the table and willingness to throw themselves in the narrative with their own creativity.

About the Game:

• This game takes place within my original world of Pandora's Board, A setting heavily inspired by floating island fiction with my own take to bring a level of grim realism to the epic fantasy I also try to keep pronounced within it.
• This game is designed to take place over the course from 2nd level to level 13-15, And the world is open for the players to play freely but as I feel is good within all good stories and tables played within the overarching arc of the story.
• Grim as the intro may sound, This game is not one of a grim and hopeless prison break. But one of the ragged and lost, rebuilding themselves in a great search through the skies of pandora in a race for goals against other parties both good bad and neutral. So don't expect to be in prison long, fate will see you quickly out.
• This game will have a lot of sailing on flying ships occurring however will also have most of its content taking place on solid land. So keep that in mind that your characters will be serving on a vessel.

Build Help/Ready:

After a half-century of gaming
1) More than specs, I want parts free of stupid.
(i.e. I want to relax and PLAY! I'm sick of hardware that requires a reboot 1 in 10 times, or has fussy/needy drivers, etc)
2) All LEDs that can’t be permanently switched off will be painted black and covered in duct tape.
Budget
Flexible: $1300 USD (Or to me: $1800 Canadian before tax)
Gaming
-Mainly Baldur’s Gate 3, Console Emulation, driving (1080,60fps,High) plus:
VR
---I need a good frame-rate & resolution in VR to not get a migraine.
---Will turning down all other graphics settings make this possible?
---Keep in mind that I’m old enough to unironically love BattleZone 1980.
HTPC
--Have I shot myself in the foot anywhere?
--(I’ll deal with 4k optical some other year, Unless someone knows of a dream UHD4K rippeplayer)
Overall:
Any choices that don’t make sense?
I tried to cram via gamernexus/techspot, but my knowledge peaked in the era where hardware settings were adjusted via 99 jumper pins :D
-I already have an 850w PSU, peripherals, Windows, and a really nice case.

TW: nursing, oversupply
TL;DR: lots of planning, careful packing, and increasing comfort with pumping in public made it possible to pump and maintain my supply while away from my baby for 8 days, and despite annoying Spanish policies I made it back home with all the milk!
I just got back from a work trip to Spain and wanted to share my experience in case it's helpful for anyone else. I planned for this EXTENSIVELY and, other than some stomach problems keeping me from partaking too much of the actual work-related events, it went well. First, some background - my baby had just turned 3mo. We mostly nurse but I had started pumping early on when he was in the NICU, and kept pumping so my husband could do a bottle at night and in the morning.
This trip was on my radar since before he was born, so I also purposefully cultivated somewhat of an oversupply with a goal of having 200oz frozen by the time I left, so he could continue to get breastmilk while I was gone. (He has a disease of the colon and it's particularly important that he have breastmilk; otherwise I would have been fine with him having partial or mostly formula). In the end, I was so fortunate (this time! I wasn't able to breastfeed my first at all!) and had about 400oz frozen when I left. 200oz seemed like a huge number when he was 1mo and I was pumping 5-10oz a day (and giving two bottles) but I did the math and knew it was possible even if I only had a few ounces leftover each day.
Once it looked like my stash would be okay, I started thinking about the logistics of pumping while traveling. Here's my packing list:

• pump bag - I tried a ton and bought this because it had 1) two compartments, 2) pocket for the Ceres Chill, 3) strap to go on a suitcase, and 4) enough other pockets. You can carry on a pump bag in addition to your personal item and carryon because it's medical equipment! I didn't get any pushback after saying it was a breastpump.
• Spectra (pump from my first baby; I checked this and left it plugged in in the hotel) + power cable
• Baby Buddha (pump from this baby; this went in my pump bag for travel and at the workshop) + power cable
• outlet adapters!
• a bunch of pump parts and bottles, including flange inserts! I use mostly Medela parts (+ some Lacteck flanges) because the LCs gave us so many in the NICU, and I have the tubing etc. to connect them to both the Spectra and the BB. I recommend having full sets for each pump if you have multiples so you don't have to move things around. You could make do with fewer parts but it means more washing obviously
• Ceres Chill - crucial for travel days. I had extra chillers because one they sent was slightly defective, so I used them as extra large bottles.
• little cooler bag (came with the pump bag) and reusable ice pack - I used these for the travel days because 1-1.5 days' worth of milk for me is more than fits in the Ceres Chill. I also brought some extra ziploc bags that I could fill with ice to make on-the-go ice packs
• wearable collection cups - I bought Legendairy cups used from this sub, and got Elvie Stride cups for free from Aeroflow as my replacement parts!!! I thought it was too good to be true but it totally worked. I pumped several times in public with them (+BB) and they were super useful.
• nursing cover - helpful for pumping in public or getting situated, especially with regular flanges and bottles
• maternity/nursing tops and bras - I wore a super roomy, long maternity top on travel days that made it super easy to hike up and pump. On work days, I wore either regular shirts I could pull up or one of my two nice nursing tops. I also brought several pumping bras.
• pump spray or nipple cream - wish I had brought two! Anything that you need everytime you pump, bring two - one for the hotel and one for one the go.
• manual pump heads - another reason I like the Medela parts is because it just takes a small piece of plastic to turn any set of pump parts into a manual pump! Gave me peace of mind
• milk storage bags and gallon ziploc bags- I estimated my total pumping output to be about 35oz, assuming baby eats 25 and I have about 10 leftover. I multiplied that by 8 days (although some would come home in the Ceres Chill) and figured I would need about 50 bags. Also bring Sharpies to label them, and gallon ziplocs to pack them in bricks!
• pump wipes - definitely important during travel days.
• collapsible dishwashing tub and travel bottle washing set - TOTALLY worth it given how many dishes I had to wash.
• tupperware/wetbags/ziploc bags - for fridge hack or otherwise keeping things clean
• snacks and water bottle - for travel days and MOTN pumps!
• printed copy of the TSA guidelines - no one ever gave me shit but I was ready
• cooler backpack - MilkStork doesn't ship to/from Spain so I was responsible for getting my milk back home.
• "contingency items" - things I hoped to not need but wanted just in case: sunflower lecithin pills, cold compress (just fill with ice), travel massager, extra tubing/duckbills/membranes, etc.

I had to buy several things for this trip (dishwashing stuff, pump bag, cooler backpack) but will use most of it when I start working in the office soon.
In addition to the packing, I was planning. I contacted the workshop organizers and asked for a place to pump, and asked both them and the hotel about the availability of a fridge/freezer. Also, once we got the schedule, I put it into my calendar and scheduled 8ppd. I DID NOT FOLLOW THIS SCHEDULE but it was an important exercise, I think. The travel day was INSANE and if I hadn't had a plan there's no way I would have pumped as much as I did. I scheduled 8ppd with a goal of doing 7, and assuming that, based on the magic number chart, 6 or even 5 would be okay for me.
I also requested permission from my employer to fly business class because I needed to pump, and they agreed. This was so helpful, honestly - gave me access to really nice lounges during the layovers (more below) and I felt totally comfortable pumping in my little pod on the long flight. Plus, as a mother to a 3mo I was not interested in sacrificing sleep while traveling for work!
Okay now here's what this looked like, especially on the travel days:

• 7am: last nursing session, then head to the airport. I hadn't planned to pump until the first layover, but my flight was delayed two hours (UGH! I could have nursed again!) so I pumped at my home airport. They had a nice nursing mother's room - even with a sterilizer, although I didn't have time to use it.
• 1pm: land in Chicago, head to United Polaris lounge. I grabbed food, then sat in a little cubicle thing, stuck the Elvie Strides in my bra, and ate and pumped. No one looked at me twice. Afterwards, I washed in the bathrooms, which even had very hot water!
• 5pm: land in Dulles, head to United Polaris lounge. I looked for a private place to sit again, but no luck. But I found a "wellness room", which had a sink, changing table, and comfy chair. I grabbed food and brought it in, and then sat down to pump. This got uncomfortable because the attendant started knocking on the door after 10 min or so because apparently a family with a baby wanted to use it. I kept yelling back "I'm pumping, I'm using a breast pump, I'm pumping breastmilk" but I think his first language wasn't English and he didn't understand. He kept saying the room wasn't for sleeping . . . Anyway I finally opened the door to show him the bottles dangling off my boobs and he backed off, embarrassed. I wish they had had more than one room! Was able to wash parts again!
• I'll also note here that I refilled the Ceres Chill inner chiller with ice here; it had all melted. I guess it makes sense that 12oz of ice can't cool 24oz of body-temperature milk! Fortunately it's easy to refill.
• 8pm: on the international flight, as food service is starting, I put on the nursing cover and pumped. Wiped parts out.
• 6 hours later (8am local time): pumped again after waking up, same as before. Again refilled the Ceres Chill ice.
• 9:30am: meant to pump in the airport lounge before going through customs but I forgot. Kind of panicked, but I just called the taxi and pumped in the back seat with the Elvie cups. The driver didn't notice until we stopped and he heard the noise and asked what it was. When I said it was a breast pump he just smiled and we moved on. After he dropped me off, I found a cafe and sat at a table outside to remove them, store the milk, clean, etc. The waiter brought me ice for my little cooler bag since the icepack was pretty depleted.
• 2pm: at the train station before catching a train. Bought a sandwich at a cafe there and pumped with the Elvie Stride cups. Again, not a single comment or strange look.
• 7pm: at the hotel, pumped and did ALLLLLL the dishes! Set things up to have a pumping station at the hotel and a mobile one in my pump bag.

During the workshop, I froze bags in the conference center freezer and had staff freeze some in the hotel. The hotel was definitely not as good; they put them in there themselves and they were not at all flat.
this is how the milk was frozen at the hotel . . .
The trip home was a bit easier in some ways and a bit more complicated in others, because I had to do it in two parts. I packed my cooler backpack full of all the frozen milk.

• 9am: last pump before the trip.
• 3pm: pumped on the train. This felt like a big step forwards, honestly, because I was sitting right next to a woman and our seats faced a couple across the table. But I put my nursing cover on and slipped my Elvie cups in and it wasn't nearly as weird as I thought.
• 6pm: pumped again with the Elvies on the train
• 8:30pm: pumped in my Airbnb and did dishes. I put all frozen milk back in the freezer, plus the bags of the milk I had pumped during the day, my ice pack, 8oz of water in each of the Ceres inner chillers.
• 12:30pm: pumped before going to bed and froze one more bag. Washed dishes and slept.
• 7:30am: packed my cooler bag and then pumped right before leaving the Airbnb
• 8am: checked in at the airport. Spain is not very progressive in this respect, and since I was traveling without a baby, I had to check my frozen milk. I packed the cooler bag in a suitcase, surrounded by some clothes and a plastic bag to hopefully avoid even minimal leaks.
• 9:45am: pumped in the airport lounge. I'm definitely getting more comfortable in public! Even used the regular flanges and bottles. On the way back, I decided to use each set twice, within 4ish hours, to avoid having to clean parts. After this pump, I bagged up the parts and stuck them in my suitcase.
• 12:30pm: pumped on the plane, then slept
• 5pm: pumped on the plane with the same parts. After this pump, I realized the Ceres Chill inner chamber was all liquid, so I switched it out with one of the other ones that I had frozen, which were still mostly ice, because they had been in a cooler and hadn't been cooling down warmed milk.
• 7:15pm: pumped on the plane before landing. Went through customs and picked up my checked bags, including the milk - about 12 hours after packing, the milk in the cooler bag was still 100% frozen. Now that I was in the US, I repacked to keep the cooler bag with me; US TSA regulations explicitly allow you to carry milk (frozen or fresh) even if you don't have a baby with you.
• two hours later (3:30pm local time): pumped in the lounge, using a nursing cover and the same regular flanges and bottles as last pump
• 6pm: pumped on the plane with the Elvie Stride cups. The man next to me must have noticed because later he referenced my baby when I hadn't mentioned it, but it was totally fine.
• 9pm: replaced the Ceres inner chiller again, then pumped with the Elvie Stride cups while walking to the gate. When I sat down to empty the milk, the woman next to me held up her pumping bag in solidarity! We chatted about how it was going - it was nice to have some camaraderie!
• 11pm: landed and took a Lyft home. I immediately emptied the cooler bag and put the milk in the freezer. Everything had thawed just a little bit, actually just enough to be able to reshape the very non-flat bags into a flat shape, so that actually worked out really well! I also emptied the Ceres Chill and inner chillers of today's milk into a pitcher; I bagged and froze that this morning.

all my milk finally frozen flat!
I seriously can't believe how well it all went. I pumped 50 times over nearly 8 days - in planes, trains, cars, while walking - and produced 265oz (over two gallons!), and all of the milk made it home! But basically I learned that EP requires so much mental and physical energy, and all of you who do it day in and day out are the real MVPs!

Hey all, pretty new to streaming so I've been trying to research more about it. If you have any recommendations for good resources to learn more about it that would be much appreciated. Beyond that, I'm curious what the most important specs are for my client device. I've got Moonlight set up and working with Gamestream, I'll be moving over to Sunshine since only after getting it running did I realize that Nvidia is killing Gamestream. I've used a very old (~8 yrs) Ultrabook as a client and it worked okay for anything that wasn't concerned with latency. My host is a Windows machine, 32 GB RAM, i7-13700K, RTX4070.
I'd like to get at least one client device that I could use to stream games to my LG OLED, ideally at 4k 60 FPS (120 would be a nice bonus). I can get an ethernet cord run through the wall from my office to wherever the client device will sit, but I'm wondering what the most important specs are for streaming with minimal latency. I've seen a lot of people mention that the decode speed of PC's running Moonlight isn't great and adds a lot of latency. I had gotten Moonlight on my LG TV but it wasn't pretty and it refused to recognize controller inputs so I'd rather go with a PC-based client device. Is the decode speed governed by the graphics processor so should I look for a client that has a reasonable GPU? Or should I be looking at different specs?
Also curious what people use for streaming remotely, I'd like to be able to play games on my PC when traveling for work, but understanding that will come with a latency penalty.
Appreciate any recommendations!

Before I say anymore about myself, here's a couple of things that might be deal breakers for you:

• 30, turning 31 later this month
  
• Asian heritage
  
• wears glasses
  
• 5'8-5'9
  
• little overweight, have been finding success going to the gym and diet
  
• works in finance
  
• does not drive
  
• Lives BC Canada
  
• Doesn't smoke
  

Still reading? Ok, cool.
Its hard to be convincing when a lot guys lie about this, but I'm just a nice guy looking for a partner to spend my time with. While I love gaming and nerd stuff in general, that's not all I am. I'm just as likely to head out on a day trip just to try a new restaurant as I am to stay at home and game with friends. I love watching movies and videos on the most random topics because I love learning about things I'm unfamiliar with. So even if we don't share similar hobbies, I'd still love to get to know you and your passions.
What would we do? We could go out together and try all the things that would be awkward to try alone. We can order all the sweets you want and split it so you don't feel so bad. Or maybe we can just stay in and watch some trashy TV and make fun of them. Anything really.
What I'm looking for? Someone who has their own things. Their own passions and interests and wants to share it with someone else. Someone who might not be interested in gaming but wants to learn because they want to spend time with partner. The kind of person who treats service staff with kindness and understanding. Ideally not a smoker. I'm open to long distance but I have realistic expectations on it. So it would be best you're also in BC, but who knows. Maybe it can work.
Your Concerns. I know a lot of women have had terrible experiences or horror stories about men. While I can't promise to be "the one". I can promise you that I won't be another horror story. I'm not going to play games. If I like you, I will just say so. I will send you memes and no unwanted pics. And if there are other ways men have found to be terrible, you can include it here as well, because honestly, we're both adults and who has time to be a jerk.
If you read this far, thanks. If you also think we could get along, shoot me a message and let me know your favourite meal/food so I know you read till the end. I'd be happy to trade pics if you want, but I'm more interested in who you are than how you look.

Hi,
I adopted an approximately 2 year old cat from a kill shelter. She was abandoned and brought in — spent a week there before I got her. A lot of the cats had URIs but she seemed okay in the moment. The second we got in the car, she was sneezing. That same day at home she was showing UTI symptoms. Next morning she was a bit lethargic so we took her to the vet. She had a 104 temp, pale gums, blood near her vulva — vet gave her a Convenia antibiotic injection and depo-medrol steroid, plus sub-q fluids.
By that night, she was worse and in the morning she was very lethargic and open mouth breathing. Rushed her to the ER, had a 105.8 temp, and she spent 2 days admitted. Had IV fluids, ultrasound, xrays, bloodwork, urinalysis.
The vet said she likely has FHV and they saw that she had cystitis along with a small bladder stone. She was given clavamox, mirtazapine, famciclovir (antiviral), and gabapentin. She also had to start royal canin SO and lysine.
She was discharged Tuesday night and today is Sunday night. She is still quite congested (blows bubbles out of nose, some slightly yellow discharge) and has a bit of green discharge from her eyes. She definitely still has bladder irritation, but isnt going in/out as much as the night. The gabapentin seems to help her get comfortable and sleep.
She does sleep a lot and I can get her to play a little bit in the evenings, but she has some “dumpy” moments throughout the day. My concern is that shes on all these meds and 5 days after discharge (nearly 9 since she first started sneezing) she is still congested and sick.
She has a humidifier on and when shes very congested, I turn on the shower and we sit in the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. I clean her eyes/nose a couple times a day. She eats and drinks — helped by the mirtazapine — but I usually have to prompt her to.
I feel like there isnt much else the vets can do. Ive already spent 5.5k on her care and shes on many medications. Do you think its all the changes and stress plus the combo of issues prolonging this? Should I be concerned or just keep doing what Im doing? Im always very worried and people keep telling me to give her time, but Im scared. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated.
