The current recommendation where I live is to sleep with the baby in the same room but in their own bassinet or crib for the first six months. After six months they can move to a separate room. So it is possibly the case that co-sleeping is

Seconded. You need to set boundaries in order to keep a private, adult life for yourself and your partner, if you have one.

Where do you live that the deposit is 100% of the cost of the beverage? In the US some states will pay for bottles but it's generally a tiny amount, not worth the inconvenience for most people.

Well, it does though, by raising the average cost of transactions for merchants, a cost that they will pass on to consumers. It means that if you're not using a credit card, then you're paying higher prices in order to subsidize p

That's why, in the US at least, overdraft fees have been banned. Allowing overdrafts and then charging exorbitant fees turned debit cards into basically just a worse credit card.

1. Casual conversation and weather reports. It's quicker and easier to discuss whole numbers. Also the decade ranges offer more precision, so the 10s, 20s and 30s C cover roughly the same range as the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s F, whic

You're being pedantic and quibbling over terminology, but ultimately your position appears to be that we should continue to create an artificial housing scarcity in proximity to city centers, such that the only way to have a reasonable
