Buses were indeed the logical solution before Waymo/etc. Now, they are just a modern version of horse carriages. Dirty, slow, smelly and insecure. The faster you get out of the bus, the faster you liberate grandma and kids from a fall,

This could have been stopped so easily on its tracks with a simple premise: 1 day turnaround build permits, to any proposed off-the-grid data centers. BYO power. BYO water. BYO pipes & sewage. OK, you are good. Now build! Instead they

Here's a revolutionary idea. Instead of mandates, why not lower the tax burden on citizens. That would give move freedom to parents to decide not to work, and actually, parent their kids. Don't force parents to both be absent fro

Not every parent has the time or energy to do so, but i certainly thought i was on the more relaxed end of parenting. I'm glad i appear to be different online! I will take the intensity of my parenting as a compliment. PD - I never pla

Do you let your kids eat candy for lunch? DO they eat pizza for breakfast ? If not, why not ? Aren't you managing their food intake ? So, what's so different from managing their information diet ?

Dragon Wing is great. It is a high recommend for early book readers. I got my series mixed up . My intent , was to say WINGS of FIRE, is more adult themed and higher violence. APologies for the confusion

Earlier poster nailed it. LLMs are a godsend here. There are tons of parents that have traveled this road before you and I. LLMs leverage this data. Its just a matter of writing a decent prompt, and recycling it. Cynicism, Disrespect, Bully

I'm torn about this. I primarily think that a a kid who won't pick books is a failure of the family of not noticing their interests. When i noticed my oldest 3 yr old was obsessed about cars, i bought him a car encyclopedia. He pr

this article feels 10 years late. Toys R us marked the end of the toy store. Its just a matter of time before other stores follow, except for the Lego flagship stores , or the ocassional anime store in a bigger city. Its sad.
