What makes you choose the 19th century for public education creation? It was my understanding the Puritans and thusly Yankees that spread through NE and the north Midwest were staunch proponents of schoolhouses and publicly funded education dating back to the to the early 17th century.

Surely you will provide the context of those mentions for us to review? You won't just let us assume they are innocuous mentions like you intended. Right?
slumberlust··on Toy Story 5 shows 'terror' of children's screen addiction, says Tom Hanks
I'd be cautious to dismiss addiction as bad parenting. In many cases its a disease, and not as simple as just coaching or disciplining it away.

slumberlust··on Removing the modem and GPS from my 2024 RAV4 hybrid
While I agree with your outrage at cars, at least smart TVs get cheaper as they supplement the revenue stream w/ the data brokering options. Non-smart TVs cost way more.
slumberlust··on Kickstarter is forced to ban adult content by payment processors
Are you viewing by the default page or active? Several of these articles were discussed last year when the processors were pressuring Valve. Maybe a little topic fatigue?
slumberlust··on EU to crack down on TikTok, Instagram's 'addictive design' targeting kids
They aren't, but the narrative around kids is easier to sell and the next logical step is the one you are already taking. Baby steps.
slumberlust··on Starship V3
Its a good read. I'd encourage you to read it and come to your own conclusion on your question. Personally, they earned my trust but other members of our book club did not agree.

Space is very very unforgiving and they ultimately conclude humanity is better served focusing our resources here on earth first. But the Trekkies have a tough time with that answer because its a bit of a let down.

slumberlust··on I want to live like Costco people
Out of all the things I enjoy buying at Costco, the bakery section is mostly a miss. Cookies are bland and they make you buy bottom tier flavors like oatmeal to subsidize the macadamia's. Muffins are bland and tasteless. Bagels are just circular bread instead of a nice chewy outside. They also use carraway seeds in their everything seasoning, so too much licorice for my personal tastes. At .50 a pop I have no complaints on the croissants.

Maybe the East coast bakery just can't compete, but I find time and time again I want to buy something yummy and can't find anything that is worth it.

slumberlust··on I want to live like Costco people
Nashua NH Costco is crowded most days, but not near what you're describing.

I also don't like the door check 'game.' Additionally, being hounded at checkout to upgrade your plan while juggling a 5 year old, dealing with payment, and a line full of people behind you is not enjoyable.
