I have 2 kids and have consciously tried to avoid the helicopter-parent mindset and let them play on their own. But now as they approach adolescence I find myself more interested in how they spend their free time. Not so much hovering but m

This is worse. The complaint about Standard Markdown was that it appeared to be hijacking the existing "brand" in order to present itself as the definitive version. One definition of "Common" means prevalent and it seems

Yep, summer 2001 was the "Summer of the Shark Attacks" because of a couple of high-profile incidences. The news media played it up as some sort of epidemic although there was no significant difference in the numbers. This went on
