Yeah, me too. I visited one in London a few years back, and it looked like a ton of fun

that is a fine idea, and also totally a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_playground

and that is why we organize

IMO the people who design children’s play areas are generally not that great at it. I say that as a preschool teacher.

last I checked, you were still allowed to hit your own children in the UK

😢

good point, that might make it more likely

I so hope this will be available in Europe outside the EU

I don’t expect it, though :L

I think it’s most common to call it a “transactional” personality – and the way of thinking is often called “transactionalism”, although that’s kind of unfortunate since that’s also the name of an approach within philosophical pragmatism. I’ve heard “instrumentalism” as well, which is also unfortunate in that it shares the name of a sort of pragmatist philosophical approach.

The latter term has been used some in discussions about kindergarten policy here in Norway, to criticize perspectives that only consider kindergartens, and childhood, to exist for the sake of adulthood or adult society.

I’m Norwegian, not British, but we also have a constitutional monarchy. I like it for mostly cynical reasons. They take care of ribbon-cutting and other big ceremonies so the politicians can focus on policy, and they give us a “head of state” that’s statistically less likely to become a dictator than an elected president is.

And all the drama and bullshit is a continuous reminder of what a bad idea it would be to institute genuine monarchy.

I dunno man, I think that’s the owner sitting next to the reviewer, and he seems pretty chill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3oO510dyVI

also, please forgive me, but this is by far the best car review I’ve ever watched, and I’ve been wanting an excuse to share it

do note that fresh vegetables can be cheaper than frozen, depending on the season and where you live

This book is useful (and free, but you have to register for a newsletter): https://leannebrown.com/good-and-cheap-2/

As for buying in bulk: as long as you think you’ll use it all before it expires, it’s good.

Also, go to the store as rarely as possible – at least that worked for me. I spend a lot less if I buy groceries once a week than if I do it several times a week.

The thought did cross my mind, yeah. I don’t think it’s quite sufficient evidence to make such a big conclusion, but both of these seem so conspicuous

a laptop that is literally cracked? :l

That makes me think of when TrueCrypt suddenly stopped being developed: https://www.techmonitor.ai/technology/cybersecurity/is-truecrypt-a-victim-of-hacking-4280447?cf-view

Hot take: Progressive congresspeople should focus on ending union-busting, not on increasing minimum wage. The unions can handle minimum wage.

It’s an education model that uses artificial intelligence to teach core subjects while adults in the room serve as “guides,” not teachers.

Alpha Schools, opening this fall in the former GEMS Academy in Lakeshore East, says its AI-driven model can help students learn core academics in just two hours a day, freeing up time for workshops, unique projects and learning various life skills.

This is kind of interesting. Removing the teacher from the classroom is stupid, because teaching is about more than relaying information - but it looks like they’re trying to use AI for that last part, and have these “guides” do the hard part.

This does not inspire confidence, though:

Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT are known to make mistakes and sometimes fabricate information. But Alpha’s AI tools are different because they do not access the internet or rely on internet-backed search engines, which can produce inaccurate or misleading responses, Alpha Schools spokesperson Anna Davlantes said in an email.
