I wish you were further from the truth.

Finally, something even more disadvantaging than not having a bank account.

The French did try out decimal time, but it never took.

What are they doing in Texas? Just handfuls of bullets served in a cowboy hat?

I think it's a different bomb at that point.

Yeah, yeah Ship of Theseus but I think when you melt down, mix with other things and then recast you've it's a new thing. That or all they succeeded in doing was making several haunted a-bombs and that strikes me as a bad move.

Bill Nye is fine if you are in a country where he was broadcast and already have a predisposition towards science. That Mythbusters came at it from a pop-culture direction, and that it wasn't aimed at children gives it a big boost.

I think the point is't that they are rigorous. It is that that it doesn't matter if they fail at basic rigour because you can teach that after you inspire the interest, and that is the thing you need to do to get more scientists and engineers.

Aged like milk has a lot less impact if you are good at it.

People have gone over the ptw mechanics for Diablo in some depth. It's not exactly a kids game, but it has all the things. Kids are kind of a bad choice for the real predatory stuff, you might get them to give you a couple of grand once, but if you can hook an adult you get to hit them every month.

If it must be kid focused, have a look at those cutesy merge games. Or just hit a popular game and look at the ads it's running.

Thing is, most of these games are kind of bad unless those little pleasure hits really work for you, so you might not find them 'fun'. These aren't supposed to work on everyone, rather they are designed to really work on a minority of people.

Depending on where you live (and therefore what legal protections you have) you can demand your details. In the UK this is the right of access and is exerted by making a subject access request (SAR).
