That’s a thing where I am from. Also, only day where alcohol cannot be sold, as you must do your duty sober. Fair compromise if you ask me: if I already know who I am voting for, I also had the prescience to buy my booze the night before :)

It wasn’t my original intention, but ingress made me walk a whole lot!
Fuck… I got this Amber alert today while playing videogames with my kid… I dismissed it, told him it was just an alarm, and then got another later saying it was cancelled, “check local news sources for details”. I assumed it was what I thought a lot of them are: domestic dispute leads to a parent driving off with the kids and the other parent calling the cops. This is way more grim than I thought
Wish I could be there!
Interesting article on what that actually meant for contemporary Mayans: http://theappendix.net/issues/2012/12/time-and-the-maya-apocalypse-guatemala-1982-and-2012
That’s awesome. I don’t have one of their products but generally feel a good vibe about the company
One neat thing about swapping the motherboard is that you can easily just 3d print a case for it and use it as a server! I saw a post on the homelab community where FW was selling older model MBs for cheap, and people snapped them up for that. Someone sells a slim case for it, but they also have a printable model for it online
How well this goes depends on a lot of factors: are those languages native to either parent? What language is spoken where you live? Do you have other people in their lives that speak these languages? Are there other contexts in which those languages are spoken beyond the home (social occasions, TV, etc)?
Apparently, for it to really stick, it takes a lot more than just a parent speaking. I recommend listening to this podcast episode with a researcher that runs a bilingual child development lab. TBH, it’s a bit disheartening to hear how hard it is to make it work: https://yourparentingmojo.com/captivate-podcast/bilingual/
The questions I asked above come from listening to that. Another big takeaway is consistency. One parent should stick to only one language talking to the kid.
I live in the US and I am a native Portuguese speaker, and my wife is a native Farsi speaker. We both spoke our own languages to our kid, and at age 2 he would mostly only speak those languages, and would even translate between them naturally (like I would say “go tell mom X” in Portuguese, and he would go and tell her in Farsi). But at age 3 he started just replying in English… Even went to Iran at 4, and could understand all his cousins but only replied in English. Farsi had a better shot because he has more exposure to it than Portuguese, but still… Honestly, it’s one of my bigger disappointments in my parenting because it was really important to me, but I myself fumbled with it: when he started speaking in English to me, I started sometimes mixing it up and responding in English, which is not good for this (I have lived in the US since high school, so it’s honestly a little easier for me at this point too). I was also a little concerned about his development in English and communication with his friends in school, but that’s not necessary, that will come no matter what, so stick with it. My brother also lives in the US and is married to another Portuguese speaker, so his 2 kids born here speak it just fine since it was the only language at home. Their grammar and vocabulary is a little weird, but they can get by just fine.
Edit: sorry for any repetition, when I went to comment I couldn’t see any other comments for some reason and thought I was the first to respond
That would be a very targeted question! Like who would have that as a password reset question? Oh wait, the kind of people who run servers for a living! Damn, that’s clever 😅
Woah, thanks for that bit of history! As someone who went from DOS to Win 3.1 outside of the US, I didn’t even know that was a thing!
My hope is that there wouldn’t be anything more personal about it than age, sex, and location… But I am sure there’s a lot more that even an airline (businesses that tend to be decades behind in systems they run) can get
Wow, I generally knew about the vast surveillance apparatus Israel has, but the details are beyond dystopian
Ah, thanks, also, hilarious examples!
What’s DAE?
Ha nice follow through!
Huh, I used to do the opposite on Google search results, to avoid Google being rewarded. But I also like your thinking, depending on whose advertising, I might choose to hit their pocket instead lol
Same here, I patched boost, still didn’t work, so I gave up. Then this morning I got notifications from it and it was working.
I can swear I found a workaround for this, but I am no longer using the flat oak. I will dig through my notes and share a link if I can find it
“like diapers or alcohol” lol. That resonates to me as a parent
😂 I don’t pay that much attention to usernames, but once I saw your comment, I was like “hey, I think I have come across SatansMaggotyCumFart a few times before!”
