Have you not seen the Mechanical Watch work of art by Bartosz Ciechanowski? My goodness it's beautiful.

Looks like the Ian Knot, seen on hackernews everywhere.

China does a terrible job of it.

black garden ant (Lasius niger) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_garden_ant

Probably from Latin or Greek.

... and fire alarms? carbon monoxide detectors?

I think not, mostly just removes ads, and a few other features

This is the completely wrong take. Yes, perhaps GP may have gone a bit far in his comments, but so have you. I also don't see the point in bringing up the current US situation when the UK has had similar issues in the past. The pot calling the kettle black.

I have also been frustrated in the past with organizations putting stickers haphazardly over screens etc, and it's worth reminding them.

This completely ignores those of us who fill forms by tabbing through fields to stay on our keyboard.

TAB into the country field, type 'Uni', down-arrow a couple times to United States. TAB to the next field. Simple.

Having the suggested country at the top for mouse-bound folks helps, but a standard select dropdown can also pre-select a default choice (via the 'selected' attribute).

My wife is MUCH more nurturing, than I am. I'm glad she is taking on the role of caring for our children full-time. She is also homeschooling 2 of our kids at 3 and 4, and "has her finger on the pulse of our children's lives" as I like to say. I don't think she'd be able to do that with a full-time job, and I definitely wouldn't do as good a job as her. Also, if she had a full time job, she would still feel the drive to take on household and family tasks that would fall to the wayside if I were in charge of them, and frankly find herself overloaded. It's working well for us to fall into traditional roles.

Yeah, but I want to get to that point.

Currently, there are a lot of things in my life (old house, old cars, etc) that more money will simply remove from being a headache in my life.

I have that same problem but I attributed it to gaining weight. I'm sure it's the shirts.

I think of Social Security as an annuity, or reverse life insurance.

I was able to take the little rubber piece out of the remote. just left 4 little openings.

They were rolling out matching services state by state. Something like 12 last year. And Turbo tax is NOT "free for federal filers with no business income". Just look at the Costco Turbotax stands every year.

She has both. I described both, and I think they are related.

It's not a confusion of terms. I can easily conjure up picture-quality images in my head, whether my eyes are open or closed. Compare that to my wife who says she can't even see my face in her head, at all, and has a hard time recognizing faces to the point where she asked my not to do anything about the red dot on my face (broken capillaries) because that's one way she recognizes that it's me. She can't see images in her head. She can't recall visual memories in her head, she sometimes struggles to remember which shelf the cups go when emptying the dishwasher. Perfectly normal and smart and capable. Not arguing that it's binary, but there are distinct ends of the spectrum. It might also be stronger for me because I tend to 'think' in pictures when the problem calls for it and it's a 'style of thinking' I'm used to.

Well, the right answers have been put in the knowledgebase. It's just that the prompt may be wrong.

without knowing anything, that sounds more dangerous for an infant to me

Ha! Me either. The plan is to collect them now, enjoy them later. Not even deleting the bad pics like I would usually do.

similar on the 2TB, but at 500GB. Having toddlers will do that. I'm trying to capture so much.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Being told, understanding, and choosing to behave well are not perfectly correlated. They will choose their actions for themselves. Of course you don't allow them to continue acting that way and over the course of time try to raise responsible adults.

Ha! Yep, I question my parenting every day. Every kid is different, so yes, this is one of many norms. Before I had kids I believed as you do, but believe you me, every kid is different even inside the womb.

As a parent with one of those kids, you never know which mode they will start off with, even with the right prompting. And yes, you correct them and steer them in the right direction and hope they will eventually learn how to behave.

That's not the type of theft they were talking about. Rather, self scanners purposely not scanning items to get them for free, etc

Same here. Finally got a dev job a few years after graduating with my Computer Science degree when a boss noticed I was taking a MOOC during my slack time. Graduated just after the dot com crash.

Quick exercise: just scrolling down, count how many pictures don't highlight one man front and center.

Then click "fact sheets", "remarks", and "articles". He's everywhere.

That's how unbiased this is going to be.

(hint, the answer is one)

oh man... I lock my doors during the day

That's funny, because isn't Amazon the worst place for authors to get paid for their work?

Call it a battle, call it just saying no. Either way, it's a jerk blasting music in a place they shouldn't. Disturbing peace and quiet, and forcing parents deal with yet another thing when they just want to take their kids to the park.

My kids are 2,3, and 4. No works just fine for now, and we are laying the foundations for budgeting.

I love this and will be stealing it to use with my kids
