My five year old has a https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Fire-Tablet-Display-Kid-Proof/dp/B01J90MSDS

But I don't use my phone when she's in the room unless a) we're on a particularly long trip together, I have no problem being on our devices separately on a flight for instance or b) we're watching a video together or she asked me a question I need to Google.

She specifically comments about why all the other grownups use their devices all the time. I am permanently glued to mine when she's not around, but I'll never let her see.

And she has screentime restrictions. If she wants her Kindle to read her a book instead of watching Bubble Guppies WTF do I care. It's her screentime. We treat it interchangeably.

You hit the nail though, it's not about how THEY use their screentime, it's about how we use ours. Stay off your devices when you're hanging out with your kids! They'll notice and they'll care.

And God willing they'll learn.

But I treat everything like that. She's tasted wine before when we are in a vineyard. And she likes to taste my coffee, lol. She knows that, like medicine, there's stuff in there that is an ok amount for adult bodies but would be too strong for children. But I don't make any of it seem forbidden. And she's never seen me have more than one drink either. I just try to aim middle of the road for everything and model good behavior. Everything in moderation!

I'm sure I'll fail somehow though!

I have, actually. You might try a couple books I've found to be very helpful in that regard.

Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong

A People's History of the United States

I'm only halfway through the second one, but there's really nothing quite like reading history through the words of everyday people like you and me. Rather than the heroic narrative that glorifies and omits based upon the preferred narrative of the writer.

Haha, yes! I personally like the DeWalt stuff (I like their drills/bit too). Something like this would probably work very well. Comes with a handle too if you don't have a drill.

Depends on one parish to another depending on the parishioner (I think those are the right words), but sometimes they can own it for business as long as they don't use it personally. So if you Amish friend's neighbor had one, depending on the local rules, the neighbor could use it to help his friend, or your friend could borrow it and use it. Also, they might have to have steel tires.

Sounds like you're doing good. Definitely better to start earlier rather than later with these talks. My dad always used technical terms for body parts with me (penis, vagina, etc.) and answered all my questions in a matter of fact and age appropriate manner.

I've also heard good things from this book though it came out after I grew up so I've never actually read it:

> If you could explain how supplying school buses to students is a negative thing, even if it was started due to desegregation, I would appreciate it. I'm not asserting that it isn't, I just fail to see it.

Okay, essentially after the Supreme Court handed down Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954 there was a great deal of uproar as school districts found themselves newly unable to segregate schools by race by law or policy; there was a great deal of racist backlash against the implementation of SCOTUS' vision in Brown, i.e. that black and white students receive education in the same classrooms. The backlash took many forms as white school district and elected officials scrambled to find ways to obstruct the courts and maintain de facto segregation. By the late 60s and early 70s, the courts had become exasperated with the lack of progress in ending de facto segregation and began forcing school districts into more systematic schemes to achieve educational integration. Often these schemes involved requiring each individual school in a district to maintain a demographic balance that reflected the racial demographics of the school district as a whole. This resulted in students being assigned to schools on the other side of the district, and they would have to get there by bus. Opposition to busing was two parts. There was upset that white children were being reassigned to geographically closer schools to ones farther away. A great deal of the backlash, however, was whites angry that black students were establishing a presence in schools that were, until then, exclusively white schools. Black parents, on the whole, were pleased to have an opportunity to send their children to qualitatively better schools, and black bused students had better outcomes.

> States rights is NOT a legal justification to Jim Crow laws. Jim Crow laws are unconstitutional

Yes, because there was a series of federal legislation and judicial decisions through the middle of the last century that overturned previous precident and drumroll took away a state's right to enforce Jim Crow laws.

> I've admitted the areas in which I'm ignorant. I am completely open to other points of views, you have simply failed to provide any.

Look, real talk here. If you're an adult, it's no one's job to educate you. It's your job to educate yourself. And in any event you shouldn't be learning your historical facts from dubious strangers on Reddit, especially not one that is of such moral and social import as race and racism. Watch some documentaries about the Civil Rights movement on Netflix or youtube (ones produced by reputable people). Visit a civil rights museum. Read some books. I recommend reading two books concurrently, one a history of race in America (like this) and the other a collection of source texts (I recommend this one). Knowledge of the past should shape how you understand the present.

A couple of years ago I got my adult sister this dot to dot book as a joke. She really liked it and thought it was hilarious. She didn't previously know such a thing existed. She also enjoys the adult coloring trend now too.

I highly recommend Lewis' non-fiction works by the way. He's an athiest convert.

The C.S. Lewis Signature Classics contains most of the really good ones, and includes the fictional work The Screwtape Letters as well. The rest are essentially academic studies in book form, but great reading.

Re writing: Get yourself a copy of this, read it on the shitter or the bus or during boring meetings, and mess around with it. Your salary potential explodes with good tech writing capabilities. My blog is all about very niche code shit (eg xlib/xsb in Python to automate action) but I keep it up because it's a great resource in interviews that shows both code ability and writing ability.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but toilet training should take one day if you do it correctly. I know nothing about you. I'm not judging you personally.

Just read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Toilet-Training-Less-Than-Day/dp/0671693808

Follow the instructions in the book exactly.

Remember reading one book and spending one day on toilet training is much less work than months of changing diapers. Your daughter sounds awesome, and you are going to have to work extra hard to give her all the tools she needs to succeed.

I just tried these they're fantastic they work just like regular plastic straws even a little better more sturdy feeling imo

If you’re just wanting to comply with maliciousness look for vintage walking suits, vintage country western suits and 70s era super wide paisley ties

Do you have a stovetop (one burner is fine) and a place for a cutting board? That's all you really need, people go crazy overboard on equipment and complex recipes etc but there's no reason to. You want a real knife, which is actually shockingly cheap, and a cheap plastic board will do.

I highly recommend cooking for yourself outside of work because you save so much money even compared to cheap fast food, I'm talking spending <$3/day easy.

Oh man, I was totally going to recommend this book but I thought it wasn't around anymore. My mom is a nurse, so she had no problem telling me how things were, but most of my friends were given a copy of The Care and Keeping of You at one point or another.

This one was popular too: https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Happening-Body-Book-Girls/dp/1557044449/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205158158&sr=1-1

That was probably the point, to add a little bit more malicious compliance on top.

"I said I would recover your files. I never said they would be easy to access, or that I would fix your computer."

On a side note, tape drives are real.

Their data capacity is pretty good, but the seek times (how long it takes to find the data the computer wants) are incredibly slow.

If the son really wanted to mess around with the eldest daughter, he could have a floppy drive and some disks shipped in from Amazon, stored the documents on a floppy disk, then hidden the floppy drive or held it hostage until payment was delivered.

Oh, you need help using it? Pay me $100 up front, and I will teach you once. Make sure to take notes.

The tips are exposed so that you can type more easily. However full coverage typing gloves are available.

FYI, the shortest way to type an Amazon link is like so:
amazon.com/dp/[product number]. The product number is the one that starts with B0 (usually B00) so, for example, a shorter link to a pair of these touchscreen compatible gloves (these are for operating smartphones with a single finger, not for typing on a full keyboard; they would be just as useless for that as any other pair of gloves) would be amazon.com/dp/B015QNN0T8.

ETA: These are also for arthritis, not warmth.
