I’ve taken my kid to a couple of these Apple workshops and they really don’t upsell you on anything. Some of the classes require access to iOS apps, but this one I think is just browser-based. Read more
I’m not sure what you mean. I play the Windows 10 version of Mahjong and it runs with ads and asks me to upgrade to the premium version to disable ads. Read more
Thank you! Kudos on getting your daughter involved :) Read more
The source post does note you should practice with a partner (or, if no one wants to do this with you, a punching bag) Read more
I agree! Read more
Haha, I’ve been there with the potty training. Fighting ‘em just stresses you out. And then one day they just suddenly do it. Good luck Read more
I know there’s a fine line. Strong-willed is just part of their personalities, though, and we shouldn’t try to crush it, but rather steer them in the right direction. Definitely independent thinking is an important skill for all kids to pick up. Read more
Wow, that sounds like a tough situation. I hope it gets better for you and your family. And, yes, there are certain kinds of disobedience that are not okay. Read more

Well, to be fair, it isn’t all men and to blanket them all would be a disservice to the men who are actively supporting women’s rights not to mention many who are simply ignorant of the issue and could be convinced. Of course, there are also those men who get defensive or insulting and they’re the loudest to comment.… Read more
Maybe! It’s be interesting to see if men’s interest in tech dropped at that same time as well. It looks like interest flatlined around 2007-2008 too so perhaps the greater awareness we have of this issue and the initiatives we’ve had to overcome this problem are sort of working? Just guessing here. Read more
Excellent point. Thanks for bringing it up. Read more
Wow! Read more
I’ll take that recommendation over a supermarket coupon. Thanks! Read more
We need more people like her in education! Read more
Thank you. This is pretty important to me. Read more
