There is a Korean manhwa/manga called Real Man or A Man's Man. It’s about a guy who worked in the mobile phone company. He goes back in time and starts developing software and hardware phone designs before the companies who originally made them do.

And US should learn to love mini split AC instead of the wall and window ones.

Pentesting for consulting company. It’s either testing web apps, mobile apps, external networks or internal networks. I used to enjoy it but due to health issues I had to take a step back with studying and it has become pretty monotonous. I’m trying to think of where to go next after this.

New comment by ohm in "Roblox CEO interview about child safety didn't go well"

ohm — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 13:08:54 +0000

As a parent I can’t stand Roblox. A while back Bedwars game on it was all the kids would talk about, then it was Grow a garden, now the worst of them all, Steal a brainrot.

Friends turn on friends and steal their items. Lots of crying and yelling. My child starts having tantrum if they can’t play. A friend’s child started hitting them with fists because they weren’t allowed to play.

The problem is that all the kids play this game and it’s their form of communication so I don’t want to completely ban it. Right now I block it on the router during the week and only allow it on weekends or when friends come over.

My other complaint is the currency they use, Robux. After 10, all kids want for their birthday is that. Some kids spend it on the stupidest things. When they run out of currency they go into a game called please donate and beg for more money. They also trade rare items for currency and some make items and sell them in the store to make money.

If the kid is banned by parents they find creative ways to play, they hide the app from Home Screen and play when studying, or wake up really early to play on their device, they play on school laptop using websites that run android emularors, etc.

I guess I’ll mention something positive as well. One child I know actually enjoys building their own games and publishing them. It rare thought and I haven’t seen many kids do that. They usually load up Roblox studio, play around with it for a bit and never ouch it again.

I miss the days of creative fun with Minecraft and wish the kids would have played that instead of Roblox.

Look into computer security. A good portion of our team are former developers. There are many opportunities to code. Either making internal tools, one off tools during projects or tools for public use.

Besides SomaFM I would also recommend https://kexp.org/, https://www.yourclassical.org and FIP radio under Directs section of Radio France app.

YourClassical also has monthly stories for kids podcast https://www.yourclassical.org/podcast/yourclassical-storytim...

There was a study done a while back on how to try to remove arsenic from rice. You essentially boil it for 5 minutes and get rid of that water first, then cook rice normally.

Most of the people I know that homeschool their kids do it because they don’t want their kids to get vaccines that schools require them to have.

My physics teacher played the whole album in high school class as we were doing our work. The door to the classroom was open and the music was echoing through the whole floor. I was surprised none of the teachers next door said anything.
