hmm. I prefer to live by “I’ve cut it three times and it’s still too short”

And the rest of the time it shouldn’t just be choice of locking them in a room vs entertaining them. Just include them in whatever you were going to do anyway. Cleaning the house? Kid gets a small/toy broom. Laundry? Kid carries empty baskets or something. Holding wrenches or flashlights for repairs is traditional.

None of these things will make the tasks go faster, of course, but the child is occupied and learning to be helpful, and you aren’t driving yourself crazy trying to run a household and entertain them 24/7 at the same time.

Car specific maybe? I was able to charge at -30C outside from a 120V outlet last winter.

If the earth isn’t flat, how can there be flat-earthers?

Race can be pseudo-scientific bullshit, and still have a bunch of racists around. The idea of race is, at its core, a racist idea.
