I gave my at-the-time eight-year-old my older Ticwatch. They had no interest in the step tracking or even what time it was -- they used sleep tracking as an excuse to wear the watch to bed and play games on it.

If the Syncup has some sort of parental controls, or if your child has some sort of impulse control, you might not suffer the same fate. BUT the question I'd ask is why a watch, smart or otherwise. Will the kid actually set and listen to alarms, do you want to be able to send them messages, have they benefitted from knowing what time it is? (parenting hard, I am not a professional, do what works for you and yours)

Small correction, only discovered when I moved across the country: there are two factories producing Girl Scout Cookies -- and the recipes have overlap, but each production company has a few unique ones. So sometimes I have to order from my niece rather than my neighbor.

Some of them are the same everywhere, though.

 

I just received an unexpected SLA printer from what I had assumed was a failed Kickstarter for the "Coolsiga FinderOne" or C1 or Classic. The manual is clearly intended for someone who has some context, but my past experience has been entirely FDM based.

I'm not claiming it's a good manual by any stretch of the imagination, nor am I confident that it will work -- but is there an "Dummies Guide to SLA Printers" I can read through to at least know what it's talking about?

Original NES Metroid was the second game I ever beat, after Super Mario Bros. 3.

Warner shelved Acme and instead we get the worst Chris?

I have just ordered a Brother ADS 1700W. You've convinced me!

Since I have this exact problem and need... I went looking. By any chance did you mean the Brother ADS 1700W? If I'm going to take recommendations from strangers on the internet, I want to be sure I get it right. =)

Every time I have to confiscate the book my kid is reading after lights out I feel like an adult.

The rest of the time... fuck no.

(They get it back in the morning -- I'm not a monster!)

Wow. I'm sure this is completely unrelated to Washington state's proposed capital gains tax.

The only features I appreciated were "free" and "can import data from (almost) everywhere."

I'm willing to give up the former, but I'd really miss the latter - I use Mint mostly to track spending.
