If your kid is having troubles leaning to ride a bike, I would suggest trying one of the bikes from Woom (https://woom.com/). Especially in the smallest models for 4-5 year olds, these bikes much lighter - almost half weight - than a lot of the alternatives. They also cost a lot more, but the high resell value makes up for some of this.
They also have balance bikes.
This is one of the biggest hurdles to getting kids to enjoy riding bikes too. If you think about the weight of many cheaper kids department store bikes they are a significant weight compared to the child. Having a lighter bike makes it much more enjoyable for the kids.
Also recommend Islabikes and Frog bikes for two companies that offer lighter offerings. Again you have to pay for it, but they can often be resold and a decent value later. Especially if you keep the bike clean and loved.
Do you know of any resources to help learn bicycles? I wish I could tune my own bicycle but can't seem to figure it out. I can build my own computer, change the oil in my car, paint a house, etc. but my bicycle always befuddles me.
Sheldon is a great resource as mentioned already, although it will not include information on newer components.
I really like the park tool website and videos for step by step instructions. RJ the bike guy on Youtube also has some good instructionals too.
I found most of the difficulty is identifying which components and/or standards your bike is using, rather than the process of fixing.
Been shaving my bald head for more than 10 years and went through disposable razors, cheap double edge razors, a shavette, an electric razor...
Disposable razors will clog with just one shave, and they're difficult to wash and clean and they left me with irritation. Not even getting started about reusing them. They're the most expensive solution.
A cheap double edge razor will give you cheap results. The ones I got here (for what would be about US$1.5) had slightly skewed corners, so you had to be really careful and moving your hands as straight as possible. And its grip is non existant when your hands are wet, so when you're shaving the back of your head it can be a bit dangerous as the shave handle can slip or spin and nick you. They corrode rather quickly and if yours falls to the ground, that's it.
With a shavette, or a straight razor, you have to be even more careful - the blade is more exposed. I used to grab it near to the blade so I could have more certainty about the angle of it. I find it gave me a bit more irritation that the DE Razor and it's really difficult to near impossible to use it around and behind my ears. Though nobody beats it when shaving long hair - it can't clog.
At last I could afford a Leaf razor - it's just absolutely great in almost every sense and though it's not cheap it was worth every penny - sans the clogging thing, but you can clean it almost as easily as a DE razor. Oh and maybe I wish the spring that moves its head to its original position was a bit more strong. Never have had a cut or nick with it and it gives the cleanest shave I've ever had. Got one for my father (he's going to be 88 - and he still has his head full of hair! I just didn't had luck with the genetic lottery) and he likes it too.
I don't use special soaps for shaving nor oils or anything, just regular soap or thick shampoo and water (mostly because third world issues). Blades here can cost around US$0.35 per box (that little box that has 5 blades) so they're relatively cheap. With the Leaf razor I use the three spots so it's a blade and a half and lasts me for ~8 shaves, head and beard. I prefer them to be really sharp as when they start to lose its sharpness you tend to do some pressure with the razor and that's when most of the nicks and cuts happen.
I found my leaf razor spring has started to become semi-slack, and failing to return as well to the original position. I suspect I will need to replace it soon (should be a waranty issue). Had it ~ 1 year.
I found the shave is also not that close, and the larger head flat region means it is more difficult to get to spaces like under directly the nose.
I like the design, but it is far from perfect

There used to be a video on youtube of a carbon mountain bike fork, and they were SMASHING it with a ball peen hammer, repeatedly.
It did do a little damage but remained rideable, and was in much better shape than the metal forks they smashed.
There is also this video from Santa Cruz: https://youtu.be/w5eMMf11uhM?t=148 where they test the fork and frame
I am also remind of the Danny M video of the carbon wheels test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfjjiHGuHoc

Why not just make Windows 10 better and have that be the last OS
Given the direction they have taken Windows 11, I am glad that this is not an update to Windows 10.
It's obviously wrong. NBA teams are a good counter-example. Nobody talks about the team's president/CEO/etc when prognosticating which team will be the best.
Do NBA CEOs get paid less than the highest paid players? I would expect them to get paid more.

I can't read the whole article but remember learning in the past that children of widows have outcomes more similar to two-parent households than divorced parent households. This would seem to suggest the divorce is more of a signal of family/status than something which is driving bad outcomes.
At the same time, I do think people have gone a bit too far in their want to not give anyone shame. Yes - some shame is not going to help single-parent households now but I would think some societal shame would prevent people from being reckless with having kids or maybe make people think twice about leaving their partner when it really is just a rough patch.
Could it be that a widow might inherit some of the remaining assets of the deceased, whereas in a divorce the assets are split?
