- It's at least ten out of 96 deaths reviewed. If those are a random sample, then these findings are incredibly alarming.
- Ten out of 96 my friend. Did you read the article?

- You could just not let your kids go on YouTube.
There's a long history of people not using it. Most people today don't use it.

- Ah the 386. I still remember our home PC getting an upgrade from the 286. It was a big deal in our home. I watched intently and as close as was permitted. Amazed by all the internals of the cabinet. I was so young. So curious. A seed was planted.
- Not sure what would cause someone to downvote my post without reply. Guess they're upset about their own performance and/or that of their kids.
- Propaganda being the incorporation of political ideology into much of the lesson plan - even when banned.
Whatever it is, public schools are an absolute failure. But that could be attributed to the immigration in the US over the last half decade. North Carolina lost like 20% of their student base following mass ICE raids.
Many teachers around me have mentioned how the portion of non-English speakers has dramatically increased and is causing significant degradation to their effectiveness in the classroom and the outcomes.
- Homeschoolers tend to outperform their regular school peers. But I think parental involvement is a significant differential and is probably contributing to the outcomes.
- Popular misconception of homeschooling. At least in my experience. We homeschool our children. We do a couple of hours a day of curriculum. The rest is being a member of a few homeschool coops. Parents are close, yet it's big enough that there are still "groups". Kids are making friends and socializing in a much more fruitful way than the chambers of public school. There's play, then there's exploration. We go on nature walks and clean ups, the theater, the naval base, we have soccer, gymnastics, and jiu jitsu, we go to the museums, libraries, and recycling plant.
Our kids have friends. We have made friends (tough at our age). And our kids are 1-2 years above their peers on diagnostics.
- I-bonds had a great buying opportunity a couple years ago.
- I will bite... What are you talking about?
- I do too. Those days are gone. The profit motive makes everything - even cool things - feel adversarial to me.
- Maybe the author should add this exception to their quote.
- Not totally on topic, but I recently passed the tipping point with Amazon shopping. I now go to Temu. They have US warehouses shipping in a couple days which was the only thing keeping me on Amazon. Plus everything on Amazon is basically the same stuff on Temu but with a markup!
- I just wish I could game on my ridiculously equipped and expensive MacBook.
