Natto. Literally the worst, IMO. Even a good number of Japanese folks don’t like it.
I’m sure the overall reason is stochastic, with other concurrent contributing factors, but writing off what is generally considered to be the main reason for an acute change in educational metrics (which coincides pretty spot on with am abrupt interruption in home life and school life) doesnt seem reasonable. I haven’t heard anything besides the pandemic, being the main driving force for the acute change in educational metrics. Raising a child and reading to them is different than directed education. I value the time I have with my children and read to them daily. This is very different (but complimentary to) than what they would get at some sort of structured pre-k.
This is one of those situations if your looking at the “why,” you have to use judgment. All of the data is of course, retrospective, which is not as good as a prospective stuff such as a randomized controlled trial (which it would, of course be unethical to perform). When thinking about stuff like this, I like to point people out to a peer-reviewed systematic review that shows parachute is not associated with survival when jumping out of airplanes (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC300808/). The point is, we can’t always clinically study some thing in the best possible way because it’s either impractical or unethical, and sometimes you just have to use your best judgement unless/until something more concrete comes to light. We cannot, ethically, do an experiment where we recreate many of the conditions at the start of the pandemic and to conduct an RCT that this drastically affect education (including early education and development).
That being said, I do agree that we should do what we can as parents to raise them, read, help educate, teach good life skills and help instill positive personality traits. I do agree that screen time, distractions, and overall pace of life have been a contributing factor to this for many years, and no-doubt, have played a role at least in the background during this acute decline.
I’m sorry, this seems a bit disconnected with the reality of actively working and simultaneously taking care of children. If you are working from home, there may be absolutely no or very little time to give quality instruction to children. Anecdotally, at the start of the pandemic, I was in a surgical residency. My specialty (otolaryngology) was locked down pretty hard across the nation, so I actually was at home a lot during the start of the pandemic, as there was a big scare about risk with routine ENT encounters and surgery. My wife worked in HR and was totally working from home.
For the first two months, I did most of the child care despite being in a busy surgical residency. Our children were about a year old and required a lot of active watching and caring for them. My wife may have been able to step away and change diapers and feed (sometimes she would be tied up). There was certainly no time to give quality education.
To give quality rearing and education to children while working would essentially be the equivalent of working two jobs. Working from home does not necessarily mean you log on, sit at home, and then go about your day as you like (i know some may have been able to do that, for better or worse). I’m not sure why you are insisting that parents taking on this extra burden while working (from home or not) is an unreasonable explanation for this.
If it breaks I will try to print out of petg. I may have to print somewhere else, because the printers I have access to I’m only allowed to print PLA AFAIK. I’m hoping the skin (besides looking cool - it’s an xray image of the phone) also reinforces and buffers any impact/fall.
Yeah, the 15w charging is only iPhone, and fast charging doesn’t seem to work – i think because of overheating mostly from my experience. This current setup the charger is closer to my phone than other setups, so I may try it, maybe it fast charging will work, but I don’t have my hopes up.
Hopefully with Qi2 these android users are natively included.
Edit: fast charging still doesn’t work with magsafe
I printed it and attached the mag quad ring. https://www.thingiverse.com/make:1141679
It is very secure with the 3m transfer tape (snapped on pretty good without it, but i want to make sure its solid) l, and honestly works much better than my previous magsafe setup (oh snap 3.0). Wireless charging works fantastic, doesn’t interfere with pen (when there aren’t any magnetic accessories attached), and surprisingly wireless power share works.
I’m comfortable putting it on my bike at this point; however, I am going to put a skin on the case – I don’t like the blue alone, and I’m not sure how well PLA alone holds up to a drop.
This is just a screenshot… Here’s the STL https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6354529. I have 3M trasnfer tape that I’ll use to hold it only my phone, which is basically the same sort of stuff that holds my current Spigen phone case on my phone. I’m not sure I’d trust a plastic case on this phone without some sort of adhesive the way the phone is designed. This is essentially just half the case for the back of the folding phone (The front portion, which is made by Spigen, hold the s-pen, which I use somewhat regularly). Hopefullly this prints well and actually works well as far as locking onto quadlock mounts and magsafe with charging working (I use magsafe charging and accessories currently with an adapater – I would expect this to work better since it’d be thinner than my current setup.
Well, I’ll let you know how it works once I actually make it.
I’m not that concerned about the case sticking to my phone, as long as the dimensions are right,. I have this very thin double-sided 3m adhesive (ACIT 3M 468 MP, Double-Sided Transfer, 5 Sheets (10’') https://a.co/d/4F0DrF3) - it’s essentially the same thing that is in random consumer product made to stick to walls, phones, etc. I actually have it holding my current magsafe adapter to my phone (I moved it from a different case) and it’s pretty solid.
Now-- my fingers are crossed that it holds to the mount well AND the mag ring works and charges well.
