One thing about video games that the study doesn’t indicate as a definite trigger of real-world violence is the *** PRICE ***. An average of $50-$60 for A-list games on XBox, PS, or Switch? Are you kidding me?

How old is your kid? When my son was a toddler, we use a “brushing teeth checklist” (you can search for many kinds on Google or Pinterest). And I just remembered that this video was pretty awesome:

Absolutely not! In fact, your prose is both supple and dexterous.

Can anyone recommend something for Safari on the iPad? I don’t mind my son watch Minecraft or Super Mario videos on Youtube but there’s all this unrelated crap that YT “recommends” that is driving me crazy.

That’s the joke that Asano was trying to make:

Just recently saw this quote (I forgot where):

I’m going to proactively high-five you for this great idea even though I haven’t tried it yet with my kid. Oh my goodness the fights we have over eating his meals so sloowwwwwly, or the fights about properly brushing teeth, or he’s taking too damn long to do his homework, etc.

Using a dentist teeth model is a great idea. Our son is autistic and we had all sorts of trouble getting him to learn to brush his teeth. He still has issues with his dental hygiene but because he follows visual cues better than verbal cues, we bought this model and it really helped him visualize the sequence of how…

well just look at the sheer terror on his face! Mouth barely open, arms hung limp at the sides, eyes staring vacantly at some unseen horror in front of him — oh god, I feel for him!

Have you checked out Nat Geo’s Ocean Odyssey Encounter in Times Square? If so, how does it compare to the AMNH exhibit.

thats the first thing I thought of as well. It’s not the Roman numeral IV, it’s a hash for number of kills. :-)

The Science Fiction author Isaac Asimov famously wrote in one of his books: “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent”.

Or maybe it really is all a joke? So whenever Trump makes some odious, foul, disgusting comment that is beneath all the decency of a leader, he can just claim “hey fuckers, I was just joking! Stop being so defensive!”

So is this how it works then? When you are exposed for the filth that you are, you cower under the shield of “satire”? At least have the pretense of courage and claim it’s “free speech” so that smart people can beat you down that you clearly don’t understand what the First Amendment actually protects.

Ars Technica has a good write up on it. One thing that was disappointing to me — the phone isn’t actually spring-loaded like the prop used in the Matrix. So you can’t press a button and have the pop open. Shame.

I’m going to go there and say yes it was nice, but it was the wrong setting. If you’re in a jazz club and want the SSB sung in like that, then it’s fine. But at a large sports arena.... eh, no.

Ok that definitely deserves this.

Someone may have already pointed this out, but I highly recommend checking out the annual Montreal Jazz Fest (last week of June through first week of July)

But is it the capital of the province of Quebec? :-)

But if it were “PIE” then the 3 down words would have been:
