When my 3 kids were teenagers (though younger than 18) I had an Asus Router that had pretty good access controls, I assume most Asus Routers still have the same controls. You could actually limit internet access by MAC address to certain ti

This is not accurate, I just had a kid graduate from Dartmouth a couple of years ago and my wife and I make right around $150k combined with her working part time. We paid around $35,000/year, so Dartmouth covered about half of tuitio

I don't think it's rank speculation, the article itself mentions 1 in 6 men are unemployed, and there have been plenty of other articles that have been posted on here with statistics on the number of men that aren't just unem

There is a lot of evidence that I think backs up your anecdata. For example Massachusetts has the highest performing public school system in the US (arguably, but by many measures) and their curriculum is based on the content heavy Core Cu

There's also the fact that coal power plants tend to be pretty far from heavily populated areas. Even if the US power grid were 100% coal (which it is not) this would still be a win as far as cleaner air goes for a significant portion

Even in terms of primary cost, diesel buses are expensive to maintain. My FIL was a mechanic for the local school district for 15 years, so I got a little insight into that aspect of the district. Our medium sized school district, 4 big h

Depending on how much space you have a you can find treadmills cheap on Craigslist. People practically have to give them away just to get rid of them. I use a treadmill in the winter and go outside during the summer. There are also walking

We get a number of bald eagles in Colorado over the winter (and a few that stay and nest in the summer). I have seen them kill full grown Canadian Geese in the winter and catch ducks in the air (very fast). Bald Eagles in particular are s

For birds when they are trapped and banded they are not tranquilized, typically they can be placed in a sock or otherwise wrapped up to restrain them and keep them calm, so the chances of them dying or getting hurt are very low. I’ve been

It definitely doesn’t work with mine, just a black pair of Ray-Bans. I just tried it again to make sure it hasn’t changed with the latest update. I use my phone as an offline GPS for hiking and it’s been a constant frustration for me, as t

FaceID doesn’t work with sunglasses on either. It would be nice if we could just have both to cover most weather scenarios. Of course too much face covering and gloves in the winter and neither are going to work then (;

I'm not disagreeing with your point, but I don't think this entire trend can be blamed on a lack of fathers. I'm fortunate now that I coach at a school in a pretty affluent community, the vast majority of the kids I coach ha

I think it's probably some of both. Boys are definitely more distracted with stuff like video games than girls, but then again many girls are absolutely obsessed with social media (TikTok/Snapchat etc) and still manage to succeed

There are certainly some exciting projects happening in the fusion world coming up. It seems likely we will start seeing much higher energy outputs, I think for SPARC they are predicting >10x the energy produced as what it will consume

You ever wonder what Manhattan used to look like before New York City was built or San Francisco Bay? We’ve leveled mountains mining coal and covered deserts and seas with oil rigs. Unfortunately this is not a new problem for humans.

The problem is colleges and universities have increased their prices so much over the last 20 years they're forcing people to make this kind of analysis on ROI. In the old days a young person could pay for a local university with a pa

Funny how they never talk about doing this with medical doctors, or expanding the number of medical schools. I guess their wages aren't considered too high, despite the insane costs of medical treatment in the US. Engineers need a st

This is true in theory, but in practice I think hybrids are the worst of both worlds. I've had two Toyota Priuses and a Honda Civic Hybrid all of which we drove to around 150,000 miles each. One of our Priuses and the Civic Hybrid ne

If the stars are reasonably close together a supernova would do it. Even a relatively distant supernova (like 30-40 light years) would likely render most planets inhabitable for a long time.
