Of course it is! I just bought my first Kindle last week. The wife promptly stole it and loves it.

Counterpoint (actually it’s the same point the article is making): It’s a single meal (or a single weekend). I kind of agree that their bodies may not self-regulate for the following meals, but for one meal, who cares? And like the article says, we all eat like crap for that meal, why not let your kids make the same…

Target runs a sale: Every single item in the category qualifies and it runs for a week.

I legitimately thought it was some slang that I wasn’t cool enough to know about.

Holy crap it never occurred to me that those are the Tetris blocks. That said, I’ve never spent long choosing a character in that game. My choice was usually limited to “oh crap, was this one with a super annoying voice?”

Sounds like a solid $15-20 purchase.

100%, twelve-year-old me had no idea what those were. Coconut-covered jelly donuts? Alrighty then.

My 4 and 6 year olds get money for holidays or whatever, have wallets and coin purses, but haven’t really figured out what to do with it. So we have no real concept of an allowance in our house yet.

Holy crap, Kristen Stewart Spider-Gwen.

The difficulty curve ramps up SO fast, and the star counts keep you from progressing. I suppose the star counts keep me from playing more advanced levels because “I’m not ready”, but it really just means that the arduous level that we only barely survived is the last one we’ll ever play because fuck trying to grind…

Bummed that Celeste didn’t make the list, but with Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, and Shovel Knight, the action category got pretty crowded. But it’s great.

Wasn’t this the promise of Google Wave? Google, 5 years ahead of its time, delivering private social networks when everyone thought that spamming the whole world with your innermost thoughts was still a pretty neat idea.

Ironically, my kids are getting to the age where they acquire a lot of the worst random plastic crap as “prizes” from fairs, arcades, birthday parties, etc. They have a whole box each of tiny rubber dinosaurs, ducks, bouncy balls, whatever that they swear up and down are “precious to them” and will never get rid of.

My kindergartner just wrote “My favorite team is the Huskers. Their colors are red and white. They are not good but I still like them”.

When I’m riding my bike across a busy intersection, I will take the extra step to wave at the people sitting in the right-turn lane and I generally won’t cross until they wave back at me. People rarely take more than a half-second glance before turning right at a red light, and NEVER look in the sidewalk.

I mean, I’m more willing to do this with kids games because usually a lot less care and attention is given to cleaning it up. If my kids actually helped clean (a welcome bonus) then it’s probably already chaos in the box and we have to spend the first few minutes organizing again anyway.

That’s a very Marie Kondo tip in general - don’t stack things in drawers - you want to be able to see everything in a drawer at a glance.

Ugh, we JUST bought two new carseats from Amazon. I remember saying to my wife “I know Target does this 20% off trade-in thing every year or so, but there’s no way they’re gonna kick that off in the next month.”

I just heard that a lot of episodes are also available for download from Archive.org. I presume these were ripped when Neighborhood was aired on Twitch. This way instead of having to go to a web site to view them, you could download the episodes and host them on a Plex server, which is exactly what I did.

It might be important to note that this is a good set of instructions for propellant-based inhalers, but powder-based inhalers (like Advair or its new powder-based generic) should not be used with spacers. Basically all the other steps are accurate, however.
