It's not just affordability, but also finding a daycare whose hours fit. I'd do 4x10s, but most of the day ares in the area are open for only 10 or 11 hours a day (especially since COVID), so once you add in overhead like a commute and getting your hours to align with theirs, their working hours simply don't work. Instead, I'm on a 9/80 with every other Friday off, which is the next best thing and is still a thousand times better than a traditional 5x8 schedule.

>You can insulate the 2x4 walls as well
This was required for where I am when using less than 4 inches of foam due to the required R-value, which imo is dumb as hell. But if you're getting it inspected, worth checking the insulation codes as many places now require a separate insulation inspection.

>Especially given how long beavers and capibara were considered fish.
Thats not because they thought they were actually fish though, anymore than how bees are considered fish under one particular section of California fish and game law. It's just shoehorning one thing under a different category for a specific purpose and having people on the Internet not understand why because they don't bother to umtry to understand how it got to be that way.

>but it still infuriates me when “pie” is used as a synonym for pizza
That's a weird thing to be infuriated by, but I've never seen it used as a direct synonym to pizza, but rather to the amount of pizza - specifically, a whole round pizza. It makes sense, too, to see it as a type of open-faced savory pie. Both tend to be circular dishes with toppings/fillings on a baked crust, and typically served in wedge-shaped portions.
