A really fun twist on this idea might be a “bounty board.” Presented like an old-west Wanted poster, describe the chore with a crude drawing and some brief instructions, along with a ‘reward’ in a fancy western font. Kids can pretend they’re bounty hunters while they fold and put away clothes, then turn the poster in…

Is the site down for anyone else?

I’d also place Krampus right next to Gremlins as “solid, kid-friendly PG-13 horror.”

Jurassic Park is also a fun (and phenomenal) introduction to ‘scary’ movies at a younger age, without going ‘full horror.’ I remember it was my first “PG-13" movie, and I was slightly less than a teenager. I was on the edge of my seat.

Parents’ primary responsibility is not to spread knowledge - they can’t possibly know everything. Their job is to help their children learn and find their own knowledge. Their job is to *contextualize* the knowledge their children gain.

You suppose that searching an answer on Google means that the parents aren’t…

It also presents a great opportunity to teach them how to *find* information. Teach them how Google works. Teach them how to structure a query. I wish half the adults I interact with had this skill.

And like most things, there’s an entire subreddit dedicated to the practice:

The hue dimmer switch replaces the normal light switch, and supposedly controls the hue lights without actually cutting the power like a normal switch would. Sounds like a worthy investment.

They are, if you’re keto!

Meanwhile there are libido drugs which ACTUALLY work for females and males alike, exhibit no side effects, and are publically available for ‘research’ purposes... yet still can’t get FDA approval? I guess the makers of PT-141 haven’t greased the right palms, yet?

It's a crime that "Martial Arts" isn't listed on here. Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Karate; all of them are incredibly well-suited sports for adults and parents.

I believe the Arduino programming language of choice is closer to C than Java (as others have mentioned). But my personal favorite - C# - is also supported by the NetDuino. Same device and form factor; better programming environment.

So you might just classify the USB-based Audigy as a glorified DAC?

I'm pretty ignorant about sound cards, but I know the high-end sound cards have recently fallen out of style as "unnecessary" computer components.

I've used AllRecipes exclusively for years. I use the free service, which allows me to search, save, print, organize, and comment on recipes as I like. It also has an app available in the Microsoft Store (and, I believe, other app stores), which I use on my Windows Phone and Windows 8.1 tablet, popping it up on the…

Many of the most useful about:config tweaks are available in the form of browser extensions. This allows people to customize their options using a simple GUI, rather than navigating the intimidating set of about:config options (and then remembering which ones have changed when you want to revert).

My bigger problem is that my fitted sheets come loose and get all wrinkly after a couple nights of sleep. The top sheets are no both to me, but I wish there was a way to keep the fitted sheets nice and tight.

You ninja'd me, but I was going to say the same thing.
SAME!

I am a devout safety razor advocate.

I agree that the safety razor is a much better shave, but I think the cost benefits are a bit oversold. Cheap shaving brushes fall apart quickly, which ratchet up the overall cost. High-quality shaving brushes don't fall apart AS quickly, but cost considerably more. The initial cost of entry for using a safety…
