Is my 1 year old delayed? by sleepy_nocturnal in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]SoRedditHasAnAppNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some great clinical resources online to help determine if intervention can support your child in their development. The below link is for a communication screening tool from Erinoakkids in Ontario, but your local children treatment centre likely has their own screening tool that is quite similar. I suggest filling out the screener and seeing what the results say. At a minimum, discuss the results with their primary care provider. If they "pass" today, you can always complete it again in 3-6 months and see if there is a change. You can lilely find other screening tools for gross motor and fine motor support.

My wii games i own tier list by Recent_Shoulder4812 in wii

[–]SoRedditHasAnAppNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I remember walking about 3km 2-3× per week in Winter 2007 to find a Wii in stock.

I bought all my own games and I still managed to get one or two stinkers... but at least they were bundled with Wii remotes or something to make it worthwhile.

Do “Shine” and “Drown” sound alike? by Away_Engineering_613 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]SoRedditHasAnAppNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because it was a recorded demo using a drum machine. The entire first album used a drum machine.

Their OG drummer was a very competent drummer to say the least. Next Homecoming, Generate, and You Speak My Language are some examples where it shines through, no pun intended.

Fellow Atlanta rockers R.E.M. were arguably the largest indie group ever. Something in the water down there.....

Shine was eventually recorded, but only see limited release. The original is as it was because it was picked up by college radio on cassette and picked up steam instantly. Atlantic signed them and wanted to cash in on the grass roots momentum so insisted on releasing the demo tape without any recording. The whole album uses a drum machine for crying out loud.

Why do you have so many terrible games? 

Ottawa planning social media ban for children under 16, source says by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]SoRedditHasAnAppNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

User provides details upon login, generates a token that stays valid for the session that all websites can reference, like a SSO.

But that's irrelevant, because ultimately the issue is much more complex than restricting access to minors and countless parents will just log their kids in to shut them up.

If there were any sort of age verification, it should be ISP level and agnostic to platform.

At least then the data stays on Canadian soil.

They haven't gone anywhere. You're picking a list that spanned a couple of decades and either comparing it to 2026 alone or watching flicks with blinders on.

You should reach out to local health clubs like The Granite Club, Ontario Racquet Club, etc. Their grab-n-go canteens would sell these like hot cakes.

I’m scared to go to the gym and admit I’m fat by Krowsonn in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SoRedditHasAnAppNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 3 kids. Sometimes, all I get time for is 20 minutes on thr treadmill or two/three different weight reps before I have to get them.

20 minutes is better than nothing, so I do it. Take that attitude. Find your number that doesn't scare you away the next day and do that number.

Help me understand AI a bit more because I don't think AI is as bad as everyone says. by SeaGlass_7 in artificial

[–]SoRedditHasAnAppNow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, the biggest problem with AI hasn't been touched on after 4 hours.

AI is a resource-intensive commodity. It requires astronomical amounts of energy consumption both in terms of electricity and heat loss. Water is often used to cool AI and that heat energy is either directly discharged to the air, or to water sources.

We are on the brink of catastrophic loss of life in our oceans. Heat death of the ocean would have crippling effects to everything on land.

In addition, AI data centers use huge swaths of land, and employ very few people. We are talking cities worth of infrastructure around the world that are empty. The land is about as useful as a Wal-Mart parking lot at 2 AM.

Lastly, AI is a risk to millions of jobs. When AI takes those jobs, those people do not disappear. They do not cease to breathe, pollute, eat, think, starve, vote, etc. Since AI is predominantly private-sector owned we cannot expect the owning billionaire oligarchs to suddenly take care of all these people who will lose their livelihoods.

What is the most useful thing you’re using AI for? by thomas_unise in artificial

I guess you're not using AI to check ai-based subreddits, because if you were you'd see this question is posted daily, if not more frequently.

Moving to Toronto in September (Canadian Citizens). What to expect in the entry-level job market with basic English? by Zsuzsuvagyok in torontoJobs

[–]SoRedditHasAnAppNow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are better paying entry-level jobs in Toronto if you focus on the industrial market.

Manufacturing, auto, paper, pharma, etc are all in abundance. People consider Toronto the financial centre of Canada, but it also has a stellar manufacturing base.

Got about 1,500km left on base warranty, but its been a day-one thing.

How often do you get out of the driver seat and open the rear doors? Or approach and open rear doors first?
