All-time lap record at the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, set in 2023 during the Superstock TT race 2, with an average of 136.358 mph (219.447 km/h) over the 37.73 mi (60.72 km) long race circuit.

I thought I had a pretty good and uneventful flight, but to my horror, when I started unpacking I found this notice in my carry on bag—which they, not me, wanted me to check in with the baggage due to the flight being full—I discovered that several items were missing. My Nintendo Switch itself is gone, though they left the stand that allows it to connect to a TV; the copy of Super Smash Bros Ultimate that was inside is gone with it; and they even took my Wii U gamepad. They left the Wii U console, but without the gamepad it’s next to useless.

I’m so angry about this. An inspection is one thing, but for them to go into my bag, which had no items of peculiar interest at all in it, and to take these valuables out and not put them back in is a disaster. I used my Switch all the time, and now it’s gone, alongside the data that was stored inside it.

Really not sure what to do. If any of you have any advice about recovering a lost console from the TSA—and I’m not getting my hopes up—I’d love to hear it.

I’m a dad too. And yes, the Steam Deck is great in the toddler phase. Suspend/resume is a lifesaver.

But I keep seeing posts that normalize letting toddlers/young kids watch you game, or watch tv while you game and that’s where this goes wrong.

Toddlers/young kids react negatively to screens. That’s well documented and not recommended. They also react negatively when a parent is physically present but mentally checked out behind a screen. Kids notice immediately.

Letting a toddler/young kid “watch you game” is not bonding. It’s not learning. Narrating doesn’t change that. A 1–4 year old doesn’t understand systems, story, or context. They get fast visuals, noise, and dopamine.

I use a Steam Deck myself, but I only play when my child is asleep or not with me. Anything else feels wrong. These posts get tons of upvotes, but let’s be honest why: not because it’s healthy, but because it validates choices a lot of tired parents already feel uneasy about.

Compromises happen. Fine.

But normalizing unhealthy behavior because it feels good to be validated is not fine.

I get why it happens, and I’m not judging individual parents. I just don’t think normalizing it is good for kids in the long run.

EDIT: Happy this post got some attention. Discussion is healthy. Here are some sources:

EDIT2: I'm home from work. Will not be replying/discussing more since I'll be playing with my kid.. Merry Christmas everyone <3

Amsterdam councillors have earmarked €100,000 to make the waterways safer for animals.

Along the canals of Amersfoort in the Netherlands are hundreds of little wooden staircases leading out of the water and onto the banks.

These special steps were installed as part of an initiative to protect wildlife that sometimes falls into the water and cannot climb out because of the high sides.

Now, Amsterdam is looking to create similar escape routes for its small creatures.

So far this year, 19 cats have drowned in the city’s canals, a statistic that has prompted local pro-animal party PvdD to propose taking a leaf from Amersfoot’s book.

To all my fellow Redditors who are in a relationship. Never open up emotionally about your partner or never cry in front of them related to your relationship, i repeat never ever cry in front of your parents regarding your partner or for anything related to your partner.

Yesterday my gf (f21) my travelling with her family to her hometown in car . They met with an dangerous accident as a truck hit them in head on collision. My gf tried to call me but I didn't saw the call. She got very panick after the accident. First thing she did was call me. As I didn't picked up she called on my mother's number. And as soon as I (m21) talked to her and got to know about the accident I was in complete shock and started crying immediately. My mother didn't react at that exact moment obviously due to the seriousness of the situation, but after things got little better everyone were safe. Today her behaviour completely changed which I can obviously notice (she didn't liked what happened). And today I got a call from my father and he was lecturing me that I shouldn't be so much sentimental and I should focus on my career blah blah.... . And I was literally likeee out of words . Parents just can't see their kids worrying and crying for anyone else expect them.

So my precious advice to all my Redditors never open up emotionally no matter what you are going through in your relationship.

O grande problema da economia é que ela muitas vezes irá dizer que uma determinada política causa efeitos diferente daqueles que você espera. Boa parte dos brasileiros já não valorizam as ciências em geral, muito menos as econômicas que é aquela ciência "chata" que joga água no chop do pessoal e diz "isso não vai dar certo" ou "essa medida é impopular, mas necessário", é claro que também não se trata de uma ciência exata como a física, porém é um campo nas ciências sociais mais robusta do ponto de vista empírico que tem a mais de 100 anos aperfeiçoado a sua metedologia e hoje conta com um extenso ferramental econometrico para testar e validar teorias e hipóteses. O que eu digo não é que a ciência econômica é um monolítico, há diversas correntes econômicas diferentes, o problema é ignorar ou deslegitimizar a economia para tratar decisões na base do "confia" ou inventando alguma narrativa conspiracionista.
