I had been off facebook for 5 years. Now my kid started school and there's info in private facebook groups that is not shared any other way. I hate it but decided to rejoin.

"Financial literacy" is a category - not a badge. The badges in that category for 2nd and 3rd graders were Money Management (maybe all those cookie sales?) and Philanthropy... which are things most troops do anyway.

Mastering various cake mixes in a dutch oven is already part of camping with boy scouts, at least in the midwest.

Ok, but, I'm very thankful I was able to remove the site I made 20 years ago when I was 14.

I have adaptive cruise control in my Subaru Legacy and I have often wondered what will happen when more people have ACC. Or even if I were following another car exactly like mine - would the lag time grow exponentially with more intense stop/go or would it even out? Or does it depend on how well the car implements it?

I haven't done my research yet, but the website I made when I was 15-16 is archived and needs to come down. I'm hoping being made by a minor helps? Anyone had experience taking stuff down or do you have to issue a DMCA?

I cannot wait for tiny house living to take off. I want to sleep in a tiny box, have access to a super clean shower and spend 100% of my free time and money doing fun things around town. I don't want to force other people to live in those conditions... so how do you allow it without making it mandatory for poor people?
