I had boldly assumed that it meant middle of life expectancy, but it does not (although exact range can be debated): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_age#:~:text=Middle%20age%2C%20or%20middle%20adulthood,young%20adulthood%20and%20this%20stage.

I am not questioning that you found this, but it assumes people live to be 120. The optimism is intense.

Easily the most compelling campaign poster I've seen so far.

Mom here. Depends on the situation. My dog once got off leash while I was pushing my kid in a stroller. She wouldn't come near the stroller. A man watched the stroller while I got the dog. But I wasn't far from my kid (10 feet, maybe) and the park was full of people. I likely wouldn't accept help if my kid was just misbehaving.

I use it all the time for convenience. I have 2 autistic little kids and work 10-12 hours a day and it isn't always practical to get to the store. Plus I'm lazy. Amazon is local to my area - friends and family work there (both tech and warehouse).

Security software from a Russian company. It was recently banned in the US due to its national security concerns.

Yes and no, IMO. Kamala Harris probably can't win, in part because the US electorate are fairly racist and sexist. There is a part of the DNCs calculus that is about winning the general election.

I wish the EPA had the kind of power it did in Ghostbusters (original).

The trough of disillusionment is my favorite.

My son (10 yo) has a few very strong interests that he talks about pretty much nonstop. We haven't discouraged any kind of talking because he was quite delayed. However it has come to my attention that his narrow focus on these topics can annoy his peers at school. I don't want him to feel ashamed about his interests, but I also don't want him to be ostracized at school. I'd really appreciate any thoughts this group may have on how to handle (or not) this situation. TIA!

I mean, this just sounds like he was being polite. Who would talk through someone's presentation?
