Many dumb phones are reminiscent of the old brick-like cell phones you bought before that Apple device that encouraged you to tap and swipe. Others are intentionally crafted to be both beautiful and minimal, filtering out features that are standard on smartphones. And finally, there are phone alternatives, devices that let you communicate with your son or daughter without a keypad or screen. All provide talk and some provide text, but none provide easy access to social media, streaming, and social media....

There are plenty of fits out there that are cycling-appropriate without making you look like you’re begging for a sponsor. They’re stylish, they’re comfortable, and some can even help you boost your road performance, all while keeping it in the realm of plain old good taste. So, what to look for in cycling clothes that don’t make you look like that guy? First tip: understatement. Men’s cycling clothing has a tendency to be tight, flashy, gauche....

When you choose a bounce house, pay attention to the weight limit, so that you can get the most use out of it. You want one that’s easy to set up, and equally easy to deflate and store. The bounce houses on our list all come with blowers to inflate them, and in-ground stakes to keep them secured. To be perfectly clear, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons is not a huge fan of these structures, and suggests that parents follow some common-sense guidelines when using one:...

“Babies from their birth day to their first birthday are learning all about how this new and amazing world works. Young babies enjoy easy-to-grasp objects they can safely explore with their hands and mouths. Rattles, maracas, or textured teethers are perfect. Starting at about 6-9 months old, they enjoy toys that give them the thrill of cause-and effect—think about a busy box with buttons to push, a drum or toy piano to bang or plink, or bubbles for you to blow and them to pop,” says Rebecca Parlakian, the senior director of programs at Zero to Three....

How parents handle screen time is a personal choice for each family. But if you are in the market for a kid-friendly tablet, keep a few things in mind. Make sure it’s robust, meaning it won’t break the first time your child drops it in the driveway. Ensure that it has parental controls that limit what your kid sees online and how long he spends doing it. Pay attention to battery life: You want something that lasts long enough to be of service during a road trip....

And the nice thing about watching with kids is you get to introduce them to your heroes and to the players that you emulated back when you were playing pick-up — you know, before the ol’ knees gave out. It’s an opportunity to show them Young Kobe, Shaq, Jordan, and, hell yeah, Tracy McGrady. It’s a chance to take them for a walk down not-quite-a-memory lane. Always looking to help, we did a deep dive and found 11 of the best playoff and regular-season NBA games available for free to stream on YouTube....

Ideally, you want a child-friendly, cute clock that’s easy to read (translation: the numbers are big and bright) and has colors that signify when it’s time to go to bed and time to wake up.

“It’s really hard to support others when you’re feeling vulnerable,” says Eric (he asked that his real name be held). “We at the center often speak openly and honestly, but erectile dysfunction (ED) is not something I bring up during group sessions. That is such an intimate detail might cloud how clients view me.“ At 36-year-old, Eric may seem young, but he represents the new face of ED. More men in their thirties and forties are developing ED, although the reasons for the uptick are not entirely clear....

A video leaked on Twitter today revealed the ever-smiling sweetened drink-pusher has vanished from his home, which was left trashed and structurally unsound. If rumors are true, he’s on a bender: reportedly he has been suffering from withdrawal as of late; years of abusing his own product have left him with tolerance levels that can only be satisfied by ever more exotic “mystery flavors.” Looking to avoid another highly public “incident,” Kool-Aid’s corporate parent quickly engineered a scheme to pass off the scandal as a social media marketing event, quickly issuing a press release and launching the website KoolAidMystery....

The brainchild of six dads (all former Samsung employees) eager to combat diaper rash and atopic dermatitis, Monit is a small puck-sized device that measures temperature, gas, and humidity. It uses proprietary algorithms to interpret the data and can reportedly detect in real time when a baby has filled their Pampers. Then, it sends a message to an accompanying smartphone app to ensure the kid doesn’t spend hours languishing in their own poop....

The document states that kids “appear to be at lower risk for contracting COVID-19 compared to adults… as of July 17, 2020, the United States reported that children and adolescents under 18 years old account for under 7 percent of COVID-19 cases and less than 0.1 percent of COVID-19-related deaths.” However, the document makes the important stipulation that in international studies, the studies have concluded :how readily COVID-19 spreads in schools also reveal low rates of transmission when community transmission is low....

And so the hunt began and ended in a random toy store in the heart of hipster Williamsburg, New York. Upon seeing the Spherovelo, my daughter immediately jumped on and pushed herself around the joint with an ease she hadn’t previously demonstrated on any other toy ⏤ it was as if she’d been riding the thing for months. We had to buy it. The original Spherovelo was made by Early Rider, a UK-based children’s bike company, and it looks like something you’d get if IKEA teamed up with NASA....

“We are talking about 60 different enchiladas,” says Padilla. “That is amazing.” Padilla’s grandmother was his first cooking instructor and he looked forward to the mornings when she would tell him, “Today you are cooking with me.” His first job was a fun one, smasher. With a tejolote (pestle) and a molcajete (mortar) he would smash together salsas of jalapeños, roasted tomatoes, onions, cilantro and salt. Eventually he graduated to the more refined work of enchilada and mole making....
