From what I’ve been told, most people don’t outgrow it, unlike other food allergies. However, more kids today might have peanut allergies since the 2000's when expecting moms were told not to have peanut butter and moms of young kids were also told the same—all to avoid peanut butter allergies.

Heh, you mean by letting all the people with peanut allergies just die from exposure? Read more
Yeah, my concern about the “expose kids early” strategy is if the kid has a severe reaction and you don’t have an epipen. I think I’d only try it in a doctor’s office. Read more
My daughter has severe food allergies, including the peanut allergy, so it really bothers me when I read news of parents protesting peanut allergy bans in schools. I don’t think it’s always a lack of empathy. I have relatives who bring peanut products into my home and ask if she’s really allergic to peanuts. I wish… Read more
Yes, thank you for the correction Read more
I had a few instances in the last couple of months where I needed to make sure my email was private. One was while talking with my tax guy about some sensitive information and even just sending him my return from last year. Another was sending contracts and confidential agreements back and forth. Anything you’d want… Read more
We’re not saying it doesn’t sell ;) Read more
Yup, that’s in the second paragraph :) Read more
Ghostmail offers more storage space (1GB for free) and other features like encrypted chat, but it can only do end-to-end encryption with other Ghostmail users. ProtonMail can do end-to-end encryption with people who aren’t using ProtonMail. I think that’s the biggest differentiator. Read more

Car seats are such a pain. We used these car seat “vests” when my daughter was a younger traveler: http://saferide4kids.com/product/ridesa… but the free car seat from AAA would’ve helped us in many other situations, like when my family was picking us up but didn’t have extra car seats. Read more
I agree with you, at least a little. Cheap laptops with low-res screens have their place. But when there are laptops (like Chromebooks and some others mentioned in the Laptop article) in the $300-400 range with full HD, maybe it is a compromise people don’t have to make. Read more
I’m having a terrible week writing. Thanks for the correction. Read more
Apparently, it depends on how you catch up: http://lifehacker.com/5943317/sleepi… Read more
They are accredited degrees, though, and some of them are standard schools, like the University of Michigan. Read more
I went away from it for a while to a paper planner, but now that I’m juggling multiple big projects again, it’s back to Trello! Read more
Probably a lot of these charitable donations include weekly donations to a church or other religious organization, in addition to non-cash donations of clothing/books/furniture. Read more
You’re right. Edited to say estimated benefits. Read more
Opportunity cost is a big factor but we have to be realistic also. For that to count, you have to put the money you would’ve used for taxes, maintenance, and insurance, plus down payment and the other homeownership costs towards a better performing investment. Few people actually do that, which is why homeowners have… Read more
Glad to hear they worked for you! I got the shots for a few months but gave up. I thought the shots would need 2-3 years and the weekly shots were painful for me (I had to get 4 of them at a time because I have so many allergies). Looking into sublingual immunotherapy. Read more
