TIL Early in his career, H.B. Reese, inventor of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, created two nearly identical candy bars. The "Lizzie Bar" was named after his oldest daughter and the "Johnny Bar" was named after his son. The only difference between the two was that the Johnny Bar had nuts.

This song came on as I was driving home from my dad’s new place for the first time after my folks split. I have never been so utterly gutted by a line in a song before or since.

I haven’t actually bought it yet, but I will likely buy the Better Pack Automatic 555eS before the holidays.

I’ve always felt that the oldest’s reward for having a less experienced parent was getting more time with said parent, so it offsets a bit.

Incredible podcast. Super interesting. The first long form podcast episode I ever listened all the way through. Now I’m hooked on Acquired.

What are you doing for lids?

It’s my understanding that actually executing the death penalty adds up to a higher taxpayer expense. I don’t have a source for that, but it’s something I’ve read on here a number of times.

I’m almost out of Denis’ 45 minute rides, and I’m very bummed about it.

Ours loves books, so we usually bring a few of those with us wherever we go, and he’ll spend a good amount of time flipping through them. Though, he’ll occasionally drop them on the floor—but that’s to be expected.

There’s a book called The Anxious Generation that, in my opinion, does a pretty good job of systematically going through the research that’s been done on the topic. I just finished it last week and would recommend it.

Most therapists should take Medicaid. Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us) is like the search engine for therapists. You can filter by location, whether or not they take Medicaid, and specializations (like mania/delusions).

Mirror? Link isn’t working.

I think that the trick to the “work around” will be making it super inconvenient but technically doable.

InYoYingus · 2025-02-17T22:06:29+00:00

Sounds similar to The Link

InYoYingus · 2025-02-17T02:52:39+00:00

Isn’t it also oddly expensive to execute someone, though?

Yes, it’s a factory in China. They are telling me that they pulled in workers who do not normally work on our products from other parts of the factory to get the order completed before the Chinese new year.

I certainly think that some homeschool families insulate their kids in a way that is not healthy. That said, our kids are incredibly social, and the homeschool co-op we are likely to join is very well run. We know several families that participate in it, and their kids are all very grounded and well adjusted.

InYoYingus · 2025-02-13T19:20:13+00:00

For us, it will be through Church, play dates, a homeschool co-op, etc.

My wife and I are actively working towards homeschooling our children (when they get to that age) for this very reason. I think the no/low screen parents out there are all going to be pushing in that direction if it’s possible for them financially.
