I read the article and I don't see how it contradicts my point. Kids are getting sick, as we expected. Soon they will be immune. Then it won't be an issue.

I believe the old FDR phrase, "There's nothing to fear but fear itself," is becoming more and more accurate with our situation. The risk from this virus goes down dramatically the younger you are. Kids are young. That's

I've been (perhaps naively) banking on this. We've had just about everything pass through our house in the past four years since we had our first kid. Have to imagine something in there is good for immunity.

Any time you take your kids to get immunized they tell you the spiel about "Expect xoreness and swelling at the site, fever up to xxx for three days. If it lasts longer we need to see them back" Discomfort is totally expected with

I believe we are fast-tracking production of several vaccines on the assumption that they might work. So even though testing is still going on, currently producing them just in case.

I'd be all for bringing back the print statement since it's the main breaking change I run into when flipping back and forth between python 2 and 3. The idea of making parens optional for all function calls seems like just way too

If you think about it this way, it really does make a decent argument for switching larger denominations to coins. Personally, I just use my debit card for everything and only use cash when the vendor specifically doesn't allow credit,

Here in Iowa, the evening meal is almost universally called supper. The noon meal is called lunch. Dinner is mostly a less-used alternate for supper. I can't remember anyone ever calling lunch "dinner".

One of my neighbors mentioned that they were offering triple time to work the 4th of July at the factory he works at. He didn't want to work, and thankfully there were enough people interested in the offer that he could have the day of

Does anyone happen to know how toxic the new copper compounds are? Obviously they are toxic enough to microbes to make the wood rot resistant. Also a fun fact I learned since our deck was originally built 15-20 years ago shortly after the s

A boy can dream, but we're low on space as it is. It's part of the reason I've been sticking to hand tools. Also just being enamored with the stuff I see on The Woodwrights Shop. Quick plug that PBS has the most recent ten se

Well, they're 4, 2, and 2. Maybe in a couple years we'll get more adventurous with power tools. They're still working on "don't run out in front of cars"

This reminds me of something I heard on a Woodwrights Shop episode I was watching. He mentioned that since 2x12s require such a big cross-section of a tree, you can usually rip them down and end up with really nice quarter sawn lumber from

Having just rebuilt a deck and installed 200sqft of wood flooring, I'd like to add that if you are just dabbling in around the house projects, you can get much further than you might expect with a hand saw. I have a circular saw, but i

Many home improvement stores also let you rent a truck for something in the neighborhood of $20. Also, you could check with your local lumber yard. Their products are often slightly more expensive, but also significantly higher quality. Plu

My wife gets nearly all of her clothes and our kids clothes from Salvation Army. There seems to always be a good selection for that. Men's clothing is much harder to find second hand in my experience.
