I hand pollinate mine with a craft paintbrush from my mini painting set

I think Durian smells more like natural gas than vomit, but I know what you mean about the vomit smell. Especially when you have a huge harvest and the fragrance is overwhelming

The Atwood is i got was grafted, so it grew easier than any of the other trees I have. I basically bought each of them at the 1 - 3 gallon range, wrapped them in burlap and plastic the first 2 winters to keep the snow from killing them, and just made sure to water them well, but not overwater. I used transplant fertilizer the first year, but not since. I think the first time I got any to fruit was 3 - 4 years after planting them. I dont consider them labor intensive at all, personally

I have 3 trees. I highly recommend the KSU Atwood, which is bred for its particular flavor and high output. We live in Virginia and a cold front killed a bunch of the young fruit about a week after we pollinate the trees, and we still got around 50 decently-sized pawpaws from that tree

I say 16

My body is ready

This is what I always use

This is awesome, but also makes me want to fight you

I browse facebook using m.facebook.com in chrome on my Samsung. No interest in installing the app. If I press and hold on a playing video, I get the option to download an mp4. No extra site or software needed

Having caved on this idea, I 100% agree

Device time limits and prerequisites, and periodically check-ins (hey, what are you doing/watching?)

Even with all this, it's obvious that the influence is very strong

Great. Still waiting for a hybrid version of the Santa Cruz, though

It's interesting to read the myriad of different potential causes shared in the comments.

The biggest problem with my kids' math studies that I've noticed since COVID has been having the kids solve problems exclusively using the computer, with no prompting to work things out on paper. They just stare at a screen and try to think of what their next step should be so they can type it into MathSpace.

I love math and do very well at it, generally, but trying to do it without writing it down and lining up the numbers and operators on the paper in a way that makes sense, crossing off items that have been reduced away, and regrouping the problem as my understanding of it evolves is maddening for me as an adult. I can only imagine what goes on inside my 13 year oldest head. I'll always grab a sheet of paper to show him how I would approach it, but he won't do it for himself. He's more likely to ask the DESMOS calculator site for a hint over and over again until it basically solves the problem for him. Who can expect actual understanding and retention when that's possible? He just wants the homework over with.

I think the push for technology in the classroom has been too aggressive. It's great that the tech is increasingly available. How to build and implement it for the optimal results still needs more time in the oven.

Can confirm. I really like the one for Dice Hospital. I learned from that one that Paul Grogan is the best at doing rulebooks. I also don't mind the one for Obsession, but maybe because I just love the game that much
