@fu @darnell I suspect that it won't stop under-16s from watching videos that the NZ government doesn't think they should see.

We've all heard stories about teens finding out how to get past blocks on school campuses.

@moon@shitposter.world I think I've only learned this in the last five years or so. This is something that should be taught in schools.

I noticed several years back that most people in MO | KS | NE seemed to be nicer than people in other states where I worked. More like people were in the SGV area of SoCal when I was growing up.

I think we're going to use talkbox dot mom for Grandson_5's foreign language learning. We can teach the whole family using equivalents of phrases we already use. Still have to choose a language, but we've been experimenting.

I love the comment thread. Someone responded in 2018, mentioned that they were learning Dutch. And for years, people have been asking that person to return and say how well their Dutch learning went.

The entire crowd seems to be having fun with it (except one person who doesn't get the joke).

Grandson_5 having a 9.5/10 level meltdown because daughter-in-law let him play in the mud and didn't immediately put him in the tub when he got out of the mud.

Sometimes I'm really surprised at this sort of thing.

Grandson_5 (age 2.5) was still sleeping in a crib because he wouldn't stay in his bed. But as of yesterday, he can climb out of the crib, so he's back to the bed. (This is ~1 year later than either GS3 or GS4.))

Still watching Evan Fryberger's live stream. A line of strong thunderstorms came through the Springfield MO area earlier.

Son_2 said it came through shortly after he dropped Grandson_3 off for his last day of Kindergarten. It was supposed to be a mostly outdoor day, but I expect they switched to indoors. Daughter-in-law is going to leave work early to attend his graduation ceremony, then come home and work remotely.

The good thing is that winds, heavy rain, hail, even a couple of possible tornadoes are all long past Springfield, and also past St Robert and Rolla. Not sure about St Louis, because the streamer is now concentrating on the storms in Indiana.

  Co-princes of Andorra
  
  The co-princes of Andorra are jointly the heads of state (Catalan: cap d'estat) of the Principality of Andorra, a landlocked microstate lying in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. Founded in 1278 by a treaty between the bishop of Urgell and the Count of Foix, this unique diarchical arrangement has persisted through the Middle Ages to the present. Currently, the bishop of Urgell (Joan Enric Vives i Sicília) and the president of France (Emmanuel Macron) serve as Andorra's co-princes, following the transfer of the count of Foix's claims to the Crown of France and, subsequently, to the head of state of the French Republic. Each co-prince appoints a personal representative. The bishop co-prince is currently being represented by Eduard Ibáñez and the French co-prince by Patrice Faure. Origin and development of the co-principality Tradition holds that Charlemagne granted a charter to the Andorran people in return for their fighting against the Moors. The feudal overlord of this territory was at first the count of Urgell. In 988, however, the count...

Half_son is trying to move to his new gf's place in GA. Which sounds to me like he's rarely (if ever) going to see the kids.

I'm glad I'm not the one faced with that situation.

Grandson_3's school has a unique requirement: in addition to the in-school foreign language class (which I believe is Spanish), they require families to do a foreign language at home. This language does not have to be the same as the in-school language. (This is a "school of choice", rather than a regular public school.)

Son_2 and his wife looked at the possibility of the whole family learning Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, French, Greek, Arabic, Russian, and Hebrew. Having lived in SoCal for his growing up years (and having family members who married into a family of Mexican citizens and who married into a Puerto Rican family), he's always been Spanish-adjacent. I think we're going to try to increase the Spanish exposure while choosing another language.

Son_2 enrolled in a French course at the local college when he was in high school. He discovered that French is very difficult. (And he did it on his own, so he didn't take the section taught by the instructor I would have suggested ... who would have told us what we needed to do at home to help him learn it.) Anyway, he says French is too hard.

I suggested that whatever language we choose, we piggyback it on Esperanto, because one of the things that I found most difficult in my German and Spanish language courses was irregular verb conjugation (well, "case" and "gender" were hard concepts too ... the word for chair might not be neuter despite there not being a gender for an object). I think that learning a language without that issue will be easier and that successfully learning one language helps when one tries to learn another.

Skin is just extra itchy all over recently. I was trying to figure out why, but then I remembered this has happened almost every Spring since I was 11 or 12 years old. It is sometimes accompanied by the sorts of symptoms that people associate with pollen.
