I remember reading somewhere (probably my high school textbook) that one of the reasons people don’t like wind power being built is they cause visual pollution....
Edit: My bad. I was distracted and interpreted this as a local stream from a device in your home, like a Plex server. If you’re using a streaming service then Netflix or whoever sends through your vpn.
It’s local. Nothing is leaving your network. You would have to deliberately open a port on your router for it to get back in after going through the VPN. That’s how you can verify that it’s local.
I used to listen to the Educate podcast. They would often talk about the science of teaching kids how to read. There were a lot of heartbreaking and infuriating moments when they spotlighted kids who the system had failed or adults who refused to revise bad methodology. It’s pretty evergreen material if anyone wanted to go check it out. Seems like it got sunsetted prior to the pan.
It’s fucking terrifying. Imagine high schoolers struggling with writing their own name.
This made me skip everything that came after. Even illiterate kids can probably memorize their names, even if they can’t sound out words. Back up your claim and I’ll reconsider.
Elsewhere, in this thread, you’ll see me champion reading and learning. I’m horribly saddened that kids don’t learn to read well. But this statement seems hyperbolic.
I started out watching some YouTube channels that claim to be dedicated to keeping me private and secure with recent news but found that some of them have a history of advertising NordVPN.

"For the first time that we can remember, the explicit calls to commit atrocious crimes, as stated, against millions of civilians have turned into a legitimate and regular part of Israeli discourse,” they write. “Today, calls of these types are an everyday matter in Israel.”...
Bah. I love my friends’ kids but I’m not above joking that the dad should abandon his family when he can’t hang out. Or tie them to a stake in the backyard when he can’t get a sitter. Absurdity is funny when it’s obvious that it’s absurd.
Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?
