At $39,700, the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq SE Standard Range might seem, well, competitive with other five-passenger crossovers. Now subtract up to $7,500 in federal tax credits, and up to $2,000 or more in state credits (depending on where you live), and suddenly this is a lot closer to a $30k than a $40k machine. And the competition? Compare the Hyundai to a Tesla Model 3, which costs a nose-bleeding $58,990 and doesn’t qualify for said credits, and you’re talking about a remarkable value, one that will be enumerated in greater detail below....

What is happening in Texas? Abbott sent a letter to the Texas Health and Human Services, the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), and the Texas medical board in late February of 2022 in which he asserted that “to subject Texas children to a wide variety of elective procedures for gender transitioning, including reassignment surgeries that can cause sterilization, mastectomies, removals of otherwise healthy body parts, and administration of puberty-blocking drugs or supraphysiologic doses of testosterone or estrogen” is child abuse....

If this works for this dad, and he feels comfortable with it, that’s fine. We’re not here to specifically shame, specific parents about whatever it is that works for them. However, because this became a trend on TikTok, it feels important to point out that as a basic principle, it’s not a good idea to mock your toddler when they are crying. Your child is a person, and yes, their tantrums may seem to be unreasonable, but that doesn’t mean you respond to unreasonable behavior with mocking ridicule....

Restart A lot of stories for kids are about how to deal with bullies, which is fair, bullies are the worst. But what there aren’t a whole lot of, are bully redemption stories. And what there even less of, are bully redemption stories where the impetus of that redemption is amnesia, which is exactly what Restart is. In it, the main character Chase falls of a roof, loses his memory and when he’s trying to piece his identity back together finds out he’s been a dick to everybody in his life....

“All you need is a straightforward digital thermometer,” says Hoffman. “That’s what we use at home. You want one you can use orally and rectally. Just if you use it rectally, use a different one orally. They work exactly the same way.” Rectal thermometers should be used for babies from birth until age 3; for kids 4 and older, an oral one can be used. What about all those dope-looking infrared thermometers, or the ones designed to be used in the ear or on the forehead, or the wearable devices that track temps via Bluetooth?...

Best Camera for Little Kids: Fujifilm One-Time Use 35 mm Camera If you suspect that your kid might have some interest in photography, a disposable camera isn’t a bad place to start. “A disposable camera is a great option for parents who don’t want to invest a lot in a hobby that a kid might not take to,” Meadows says. She’s also a fan of their simplicity. “There are literally only two functions: pressing the shutter button to take the picture and cranking the film advance....

So when you stand up and call upon all of your muscle groups to activate your body struggles.” What can you do to offset the damage that is being inflicted while you sit and restore flexibility?...

Before buying a gaming mouse, determine your grip style, the types of games you play to make sure the mouse has the features you need, and the way you move your mouse around (whether in long or short motions). Then, choose a gaming mouse that feels right and has all the buttons and extra functionalities you need. The land of gaming mice can get kind of complicated, but the best gaming mice have high dots-per-inch, or dpi, a term borrowed from printing days that basically describes how sensitive the mouse is to fine movements....

There are some milestones to keep in mind while shopping for holiday toys for 8-year-olds. According to Stanford Children’s Health, 8-year-old boys and girls are still young enough to jump, skip, and chase each other around. They dress and groom themselves (sort of, but parents know better than to leave them totally unsupervised). Many 8-year-olds are able to use tools, can count backward, read to themselves and enjoy it, grasp the concept of space, draw and paint, and collect things....

Let’s get this out of the way: Yes, jeans and a t-shirt are staples. Yes, you can get them everywhere and most pairs are pretty damn forgiving. But if you’re like so many men and this is your outfit of outfits — more care is in order. Young Springsteen pulled off the casual-cool look of a tee and ripped jeans because he took the time to know what worked for him....

Legos for adults are weirdly satisfying for the same reason that kids love them. Billie Lourd built Lego Architecture sets during lockdown, she revealed during a podcast interview, because it gave her brain a workout.

All this is to say that there’s absolutely no shame in loving Legos because, quite frankly, they’re an awesome way to kill some hours while also putting your creativity to work....

But there’s a big difference between any pocket knife and a great pocket knife. First, if you’re going to keep it in your pocket every day, it needs to be slim enough to fit into not any pocket but a small pocket. Second, it should have a strong, sharp blade (frankly, it should only have just a good blade) that’s not too long. Third, it should have a handle that, even when wet, stays grippy....

According to Dr. Allen Conrad, a chiropractor at the Montgomery County Chiropractor Center, a good snow shovel needs to be lightweight with a broad scoop and a non-slip handle, all of which will help relieve pressure and stress from your back. We asked Conrad about the best snow shovels for bad backs. He was glad to lend his advice and also provided some back-saving tips when you’re clearing snow: Take frequent breaks, pick up smaller amounts, and be sure to bend your knees when shoveling, the latter of which ensures that your back and spine aren’t bearing the brunt of the load....
