The post in February triggered a tidal wave of reaction from parents similarly gripped by anxiety about providing their children with a device they fear will open them up to predators, online bullying, social pressure and harmful content.

Can you imagine having to teach your kids about these risks, help them to deal with them and prepare them for adulthood?

That would be so much work.

you also don’t hear about it as much because people tend to bike more in warm weather so it’s more likely for you to go long stretches of time without biking when it’s getting colder.

Off topic, but I think it's funny how cycling is viewed in different parts of the world. You look at it as a hobby that is naturally done less in the winter. For me it's just a way to get to work and I still have to work when it's cold, so obviously I'm still cycling just as much. And this is true for a lot of people, the bike rack at my job is almost as full in the winter as it is in the summer.

This feels like something that would be illegal in the EU. I have no idea if it actually is.

The attack has benefitted both sides in a very cynical way. Netanyahu's reaction has made Israel much more isolated internationally and if any Palestinians make it through all this, they will be even more likely to support a violent and extremist organization like Hamas.

It's a win-win for Netanyahu and Hamas and a huge lose-lose for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Nylon can be washed in the dishwasher, but in my experience it does degrade a bit over time. Silicone on the other hand tends to absorb any smell or taste, including dish washing detergent.

I went with a Sony 1V. It processes the images a lot more like a regular camera, so more natural but also less 'flashy' by default. If you take a boring picture, it's going to look boring. But I just like that high-contrast, natural colors, 'real camera' look so much better than the always-on-hdr, artificial, tacky look of many modern smartphone cameras.

Amazing hardware, but I was really disappointed with the way the 13 pro processed pictures. I ultimately went with a completely different brand after being really hyped for the 1" sensor. The 13 ultra came with some minor improvements, at least that was my impression, but still wouldn't have been an option for me. I'm really interested in what they're doing with this newest iteration.

However, I find it much easier to check if the given answer is correct, instead of having to find the answer myself.

For toilet bowl cleaner, you want to make sure it has the 'quality seal' on the packaging. It looks like this.

Generally, if you have hard water and a lot of issues with limescale, you will need an acidic cleaner. These are usually advertised accordingly. Bleach won't help with limescale and is usually not necessary. It's also very dangerous to mix bleach with acidic cleaners.

While we're on the topic of CPR, I want to address the myth that CPR "almost never works". It's great at what it does, which is pumping blood through the body enough to keep vital organs supplied with a bare minimum of oxygen so they can survive.

However, there's usually a reason why the heart has stopped beating and in most cases, CPR can't reverse that reason. If the patient is in a car crash and has completely bled out, CPR won't get any blood back into their system. Or if they're at the end stage of a terminal disease, CPR can't magically cure the disease.

But in cases where the cause for the cardiac arrest is simple and easily reversed, chances of survival are much higher. For example, if someone is drowning and you get them out of the water within a few minutes of cardiac arrest, CPR is very effective, with the majority of patients surviving. Here's a study with 113 patients who were resuscitated after drowning and only 8 were confirmed dead. For 20 patients, the outcome was unknown, but even if they all died as well, that's still a 75% survival rate.
