i could see the same being said about leaded gasoline

oh thanks for explaining

"messed up" how? "fiddle with its settings" in what way?

what is even the problem? this post doesn't give any information

wish my father would

boooo

we're on day one with my 23 month old, so i don't have any sage wisdom about it really. but i'll go over what we're doing, since it's not a disaster (yet)

• we prepared well in advance, read the book twice (oh crap potty training)
• it's a stern, cold turkey, end to diapers. we explained what we're doing in plain language and did our best to speak with confidence and directness and emphasize that we're here to help. we're doing night training at the same time as day training in hopes it will not show weakness in our approach
• we bought a mini pot for each floor of the house so there's always one sorta nearby + a seat for the big toilet (he hasn't used it yet but he knows what it's for). introduce the kid to it early if you want but make sure they know it isn't a toy, it's only for serious business
• i think it's important to not wait to long, the book said 30 months(?) was too long - they'll start to have discovered power manipulation at that age i guess, and make it difficult. at my kid's age he's still really eager to impress us and not play games about it too much

i'm certain it's not open to the public. it's used in emergencies

how old was Elijah?

i'm here for it! i want a future with mushroom batteries

does it seem really odd that Dell would be selling the laptop bundled with Ubuntu as a "recommended" option?

in early 2009 it would have been windows vista, i think? so maybe that's the problem

yes, i've played it on linux. runs exactly as you'd expect
