Welcoming a new baby into your life is an exciting and transformative experience. As a parent, one of the most important skills you can develop is recognizing and responding to your baby's cues and needs. Babies communicate primarily through non-verbal cues, and understanding these signals can help you provide the care, comfort, and support your little one requires. In this blog post, we will explore the different cues your baby may give and provide tips on how to respond effectively.
​
Decoding Non-Verbal Communication:
Babies may not be able to speak yet, but they have their own unique language of cues and signals. Pay close attention to their facial expressions, body movements, and sounds. Each cue offers valuable insights into their needs and emotions. By observing these non-verbal cues, you can become attuned to your baby's communication style.
​
The Power of Crying:
Crying is the most prominent way babies communicate their needs. It can indicate hunger, discomfort, tiredness, or a need for attention. Instead of becoming overwhelmed or frustrated, view your baby's cries as their way of communicating with you. Respond promptly, providing comfort and reassurance. Remember, you cannot spoil a newborn with too much love and attention.
​
Hunger Cues:
Understanding your baby's hunger cues is crucial for providing timely feedings. Look for signs such as rooting, sucking motions, or putting hands to the mouth. Your baby may also make smacking sounds or become more restless when hungry. Respond promptly by offering nourishment, whether through breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
​
Sleep Cues:
Just like adults, babies have their own unique sleep cues. These can include rubbing their eyes, yawning, becoming fussy, or losing interest in their surroundings. Establish a soothing bedtime routine and observe these cues to help your baby transition to sleep. Responding to their sleep needs will contribute to better rest for both you and your baby.
​
Diaper Changes:
Babies communicate their discomfort during diaper changes through cues like fussiness, squirming, or displaying signs of discomfort. Regularly check their diaper and change it promptly when needed. A dry and clean diaper contributes to their overall comfort and well-being.
​
Comfort and Soothing:
Babies seek comfort and soothing when they are tired, overwhelmed, or experiencing discomfort. Use gentle rocking, singing, swaddling, or offering a pacifier to help calm and comfort your baby. Responding promptly to their need for comfort fosters a sense of security and trust.
​
Social Interaction:
Babies thrive on social interaction and seek engagement with their caregivers. Look for cues such as eye contact, cooing, smiling, or reaching out for interaction. Respond with positive and affectionate interactions to foster bonding and promote healthy social development.
​
Sensory Overload:
Babies can become overwhelmed by bright lights, loud noises, or busy environments, leading to cues of sensory overload. Observe signs such as turning their head away, becoming fussy, or covering their face. Create a calm and quiet environment or provide a safe space for them to retreat to when they need a break from stimulation.
​
Play and Exploration:
Babies express their curiosity and interest in the world around them through cues like reaching out, grabbing objects, or making excited sounds. Encourage their exploration by providing safe toys and engaging in interactive play. Responding to their cues for play and exploration supports their cognitive and motor development.
​
Trust Your Instincts:
Ultimately, every baby is unique, and you are the expert on your own child. Trust your instincts and the bond you have with your baby. Over time, you will become more attuned to their individual cues and needs.

Last time, we upgraded our power to 300 MW on the basis of using water. Now it's time to undo that and move to something else.

Fission and Testing

Because U-235 is much more precious in K2 than vanilla, I decided to go back to older reactor designs. The first reactor I ever designed had throttling built-in: it didn't add fuel unless it was running low on steam. So I'm going back to that, though the implementation will be quite different.
Also, I discovered that K2 doesn't give you a 100% reactor bonus anymore; it's only 25%. So my dreams of a 2x2 reactor that gives 4 GW are dashed. But 1.5 GW is fine for the time being.
K2 also rescaled pretty much everything with regard to fission reactors (though for some reason they didn't rename them). They give 250 MW of energy, heat exchangers each absorb 50 MW of heat, consume 250 watesec, and turbines each generate 10 MW of energy. This makes the ratios much easier to work with.
But the biggest improvement K2 makes for fission is that steam contains a higher energy density than in vanilla. To get just 1.1GW in vanilla, you need ten water pumps. In K2, you can get 1.5 GW of power from just 6 pumps. The ratio of exchangers to pumps is also exactly 5:1.
What all this means is that its much easier to build a working reactor setup in K2 compared to vanilla. This makes sense, as fission is no longer the end-game power plant of choice (ignoring UPS, of course). Speaking of UPS, since you can build them much more compactly, K2's nuclear setups are probably better in GW/UPS terms. Though not much.
K2 also gives you gigantic fluid tanks that you can use to regulate the reactor, so you don't have a bunch of plumbing everywhere. Here's my overall setup:
Power is Good
Each of the three exchanger setups is isolated from the other two... mostly. I do have some pumps that are used if steam from one tank setup significantly exceeds the steam from another. This is mostly just to make sure that things stay relatively even.
The biggest difficulty in regulating reactors isn't telling when to insert fuel; it's telling when not to. You can't just say "steam is low, insert fuel", because the time between inserting the fuel and the steam getting high enough is extremely long. You'll constantly be inserting fuel until you fill up the reactor's capacity, and then it stays on for way too long.
So my setup uses an RS latch to detect when the reactor is on vs. off. One of the 4 inserters is the primary inserter; all of the other inserters only insert fuel when they see the primary inserter do so (and each inserter is limited to inserting 1 item). The reactor is latched to being "on" when the primary inserter inserts fuel. And it will never insert fuel if the reactor is "on". The reactor is unlatched to "off" when a spent fuel cell is removed.
So you only insert fuel when the reactor is off and the steam condition is met.
Unfortunately, I realized a small flaw with my design: the S signal being set is what constitutes the "off" state. This was very useful for detecting "off and steam low" (simply adding S from two different sources). But this means the system isn't self-starting. You must manually insert the first fuel cell (or manually put a spent fuel cell in the reactor).
And putting fuel cells in your inventory causes damage now. So that was fun. But that was always going to be a problem, since I don't have logistics chests yet.
Also, note that I built this design in a testbed map. I wanted to use Editor Extensions to spawn a separate shard within my main K2 map, but unfortunately, activating the testbed shard doesn't actually pause the main map. Biters are still evolving, power is still being consumed, etc. So I just switch to a different map when I want to devise setups like this, then bring the blueprints back to the main map.

Yellow Science is Weird

Previously, I talked about the weird design of K2's ingredients list for purple science. They weren't especially useful by themselves (unlike vanilla), and they weren't exactly in common use as intermediates.
K2's yellow science ingredients are even stranger.
Blue circuits and LDS are taken from vanilla. Both of these make sense from the standpoint of general utility (particularly among stuff that gets built from yellow science). But there's always been an annoying issue: they're also both (nearly) direct components of space science. Thus space science feels like yellow science, only *more*.
But flying robot frames more than make up for it. They have a very long and complex synthesis pathway (in vanilla terms), and they involve a number of slow-to-produce intermediate products. And if you can master their construction, you get bots. Thus, yellow science encourages you to get bots, which is something a novice player might not understand they even want. Especially given how hard frames are to produce.
But K2 replaces flying robot frames with... rocket fuel? You know, the other component of rocket parts. That just seems like a really bizarre change design-wise. Yes, veteran Factorio players don't need to be told to make flying robot frames; they're going right for them the second they get blue science done. But rocket fuel is such a bland choice.
Now, there is something going on here. In K2, space science isn't as important as in vanilla, because that's not the end of the tech tree. In fact, K2's tech tree post-purple and yellow splits into 3 paths: space science, matter science, and advanced science (what, did you run out of descriptive words there?), all leading to the final tier: singularity science. This means that a player can choose not to go for space science for a while and go for the other two instead.
But that doesn't justify using rocket fuel. It doesn't even have a complex synthesis chain like flying robot frames. You just add more light oil and some means of generating oxygen, and now you have rocket fuel.

Rocket Fuel from Water

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's make some.
Krastorio 2 seems to love having multiple ways to make the same stuff. There are 3 separate ways to make rocket fuel: from light oil (presumably some from of RP-1/LOX), from hydrogen chloride (any idea what propellant this alludes to?), and from ammonia gas (no doubt nitrogen tetroxide & hydrazine ). The latter involves pulling nitrogen out of the air (since nothing else can create it) and processing it into ammonia.
Unfortunately, every single one requires oxygen, and therefore every single one produces a bunch of extra hydrogen. OK, technically you can produce the oxygen you need via condensation, but despite my incentives to just burn uranium fuel cells, I'm not doing that. Also, I have to produce hydrogen anyway to make the ammonia; it's just that producing enough oxygen by electrolysis means making spare hydrogen.
The ammonia version doesn't require any material input save water for electrolysis, and I love making useful stuff from just water. So here we go:
37 MW for 50 fuel per minute
That's a lot of power for relatively little fuel; I could use the same power to get about 3x the fuel from coal liquefaction.
But, as I have built no lithium processing or even mineral water extraction (I should probably do that), my only source for precious tritium to run my portable fusion reactors is reprocessing spent uranium fuel cells. So being stupidly power hungry isn't a bug; it's a feature.
Also, I still haven't even hit 500 MW of consumption, so it's not like I'm running out of power.

Next Time

I'm running out of uranium. I started expanding towards the new patch, but then I decided that killing biters was boring so I got yellow science instead. So I guess I'll finish that expansion and move forward from there. And perhaps spreading U-238 to the bugs would be useful.
Lithium seems vaguely useful, so I will probably start in on that next. But I'm also beginning the process of transitioning to a bot-based hub. Since there's still a lot of game left, and I'll probably start building megabase blocks before getting too deep into the final trio of techs, it's best to make it easy to add new kinds of infrastructure. I just need to convert the bottom of my bus so that it inserts stuff into logistics chests.

There are various elements to consider while purchasing surveyors safety vests, including visibility, comfort, durability, and compliance with safety requirements. While I cannot make product recommendations in real time, I can offer you a sense of what to look for when selecting the best surveyors safety vests. Consider the following crucial features:

1. High-Visibility - Look for safety vests with bright colors like fluorescent orange or yellow, as they are highly visible even in low-light conditions. Reflective tapes or strips that provide additional visibility at night or in poorly lit areas are also important.
   
2. ANSI/ISEA Compliance - Check to see if the safety vest meets the standards established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA). In the United States, the standard for high-visibility safety clothing is ANSI/ISEA 107-2015. Check that the safety vest meets the relevant class and type standards for your specific needs.
   
3. Pockets and Storage - Surveyors frequently need to transport equipment and gear. Look for safety vests with a sufficient number of pockets and storage choices to make important goods conveniently accessible.
   
4. Breathability and Comfort - Surveyors may be required to work in a variety of weather conditions, so it is critical to select a safety vest that is both breathable and pleasant to wear for lengthy periods of time. Surveyors can stay cool and dry by wearing vests constructed of lightweight, moisture-wicking materials.
   
5. Adjustable Fit - To provide a secure and personalized fit for varied body proportions, choose safety vests with adjustable elements such as straps or side closures.
   
6. Durability - Because surveyors frequently work in harsh locations, consider the longevity of the safety vest. Look for vests constructed of tough materials that can survive a lot of wear and tear.
   
7. Additional Safety Features - Some safety vests may include extra features like as D-ring access for attaching tools or ID badge holders for simple identification.
   

To find specialized surveyors safety vests that fit your needs, I recommend exploring reputable safety equipment vendors or manufacturers. They can provide up-to-date information on the greatest options on the market and aid you in selecting the proper safety vest for your needs.

i picked up this disposable from surterra using the $10 coupon just because i was out, the THC listed was 94.2% so i was curious not gonna lie! i expected the terpenes to be really low, it doesn't taste like anything, but somehow there's 4.61% terpenes in here? and 2.66% CBG, and other cannabinoids?
the math just isn't mathing here, how does it all total to over 100%? can someone explain?

you can’t see them but there are two thermostats inside for the heat emitter and UVB lamp. i also cover the right backside and top of her tank with a light blanket for more coziness and to keep the humidity in. i just bought some artificial plants to create more possible hides, but is there anything else i can do? i love her so much, i want her to have the happiest home possible!

My sisters and brothers, I am sharing with you a very special prayer to my heart that I discovered four years ago. Ever since, I have created a short guided prayer video to this prayer so that all may know this powerful intercessor, St Expedite. He is the saint of urgent needs, procrastination, and I can say without a doubt he has helped me in times of great emergencies!
I recently completed this prayer as a 9 day novena and would like share with you a blessing and testimony. At the time for two weeks, I have had seen no progress in a particular situation financially that left me in great distress. I could not find the means to care for my family in light of a medical emergency. Despite the struggles during this novena, I kept praying even when I felt like my faith was wavering. On the 9th day all of a sudden things changed drastically, and in turn not only did the medical emergency subside but the financial situation recovered! Praise God!
This is my thanks to God and to St Expedite for his miraculous and speedy intercession. Please share this prayer video if it resonates with you. God bless!
