I feel like the method we used worked really well. We allowed screen time only after meals and they had to eat; I wasn’t a “clean your plate” nazi; but they had to eat something. Then as they got older it turned into; get up and dressed for

Same here. Very few kids in my sons middle school class have gotten phones, most of his friends have not. Makes it a lot easier when they’re not a lone. I also see drastically fewer kids (and adults) on devices in restaurants which is encou

As of about 4 years ago software developers in India were making .20 of US counter parts. I was managing a team of 7 and 5 left for higher pay elsewhere. Same has happened in China and other countries. They are not so cheap anymore.

Near real time fpv drones anywhere on the planet, free of jamming due to starlink is the real game changing capability. What would any military pay for that? Plenty I wager.
