If you remember playing the NES back in the day you likely won’t need much convincing that, for $60, the HDMI-equipped console, is a worthwhile investment. But even if you aren’t motivated by a nostalgia high the NES Classic could be an great purchase. The two included controllers are smaller than modern console controllers and have way fewer buttons. They are way easier for younger hands to hold and the games are way easier for younger minds to master....

“Honey, let’s go look at baby stuff.” There are countless infant shopping options. “Let’s do Target . We also need wine.” During the drive, you debate the first purchase. Stroller? Crib? Car seat? “Let’s look at cribs and see if they have an Amish, 19th-century oak one.” They won’t, but you’re in this thing together. You hold hands entering Target. It’s like your first date except there will be no sex....

Author Irene Diomi built the calculator based on NASA data and it’s extremely easy to use. All you have to do is enter the year you were born and it will tell you how old you would be if you were living on the other planets (including Pluto, which may or may not be considered a planet at this point, but who is counting anyway). Of course, one Earth year is based on how long it takes our beloved planet to take a full trip around the Sun....

Good Burger was shot in the spring of 1997 and released in July, a ridiculously fast three months after wrapping production. The film received terrible reviews and underperformed at the box office, though underperformed is a relative term, as it earned $25 million worldwide against an $8 million budget. But it’s so fun, or at least I thought it was while enjoying the film at home with my kids on old-fashioned VHS when they were old enough to see it....

According to CNN, the first condiment to fall into shortage territory was ketchup packets. The convenient packets of ketchup that come in our fast-food takeout hit were hard to come by in summer 2020. By April 2021, the shortage hit a critical level, and restaurant owners were scurrying to try to find them for their customers. The condiment shortage was a response to the pandemic. With restaurants being discouraged from the traditional dine-in service, delivery and takeout were how they stayed in business....

How to Choose a Legal Guardian For Your Child Legal guardians are designated as part of your last will and testament. They are responsible for caring for a child if both parents pass away, become ill, or in a major accident. Much like the parents themselves, they are tasked with caring, providing, and raising children until they are at least 18 years old. They must make decisions on behalf of the child and ensuring that the child is healthy, protected, and loved....

Proud grandpa Arnold Schwarzenegger recently took to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in May to gush over his daughter’s pregnancy, saying, “Think about this for a second… there’s three gene pools that you can do,” He added, “There’s Kennedy, there’s Schwarzenegger, and Pratt. We can do anything. We can go and solve the Cuban missile crisis… We can go and train dinosaurs. I mean, think about it!,” he said, per ET....

It’s actually pretty fitting that Teigen is using Arthur memes to clown her husband who looks exactly like Arthur. According to Know Your Meme, Arthur memes have been floating around for the last five years or so, but the most popular is easily Arthur’s Fist meme, which being that it displays a small cartoon fist, is a hilarious yet generally subversive way to poke fun at someone’s outrage. But Teigen didn’t leave it at the fist....

“Children don’t need as much toxicant for it to cause a lot of harm,” says Abby Mutic, a nurse researcher in environmental health at Emory University. “They don’t metabolize things in the same way, and their brains and bodies are still developing.” On the whole, most kids — and most adults, for that matter — don’t drink enough water, and water is the healthiest thing to drink, says Maria Galvez, associate professor in the departments of environmental medicine and public health and the department of pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai....

The bottom line: the federal government is no longer able to reimburse doctors who care for uninsured COVID-19 patients and are no longer able to reimburse testing “due to a lack of sufficient funds.” The New York Times spoke to Quest Diagnostics, one of the largest testing companies in the country for everything from blood work to COVID-19 tests, who said patients who don’t have health insurance will now have to pay $125 dollars for a COVID-19 test, which works out to be $119 for the test, and a $6 physician fee, to use a PCR test....

“Our study failed to show that the parents’ preferences for the offspring’s gender are affected by their status, wealth, education or childhood environment,” said co-author on the study Robert Lynch of the University of Turku, Finland, in a statement. “Instead, parental preferences were best predicted by their sex. Women from all socioeconomic backgrounds expressed implicit and explicit preferences for daughters: They chose to donate more to charities supporting girls and preferred to adopt girls....

Under the new rule, doctors offices and clinics that receive funding from Title X would be allowed to talk to their patients about abortion as a routine medical care option, but wouldn’t be able to tell their patients where they could get an abortion. They would also no longer be required to inform their patients that abortion is a possible health care option. This opens the doors for religious organizations that don’t advice on abortion to also receive funding despite not fully appraising patients of their choices....

Other notable titles coming to the platform include Earth to Ned, an original talk show from Jim Henson featuring a chatty blue alien named Ned who interviews celebrities (on earth!), from Kristen Schaal to Joel McHale, in addition to One Day at Disney, a feature documentary released in shorter episodes highlighting the day-to-day lives of Disney employees. Here is the complete list of Disney+ shows and movies coming to the service in the month of September with Disney+ originals listed in bold....

During the start of the pandemic, there were many health and safety rules big crowd drawers, like Walt Disney World, had to implement to open their doors again safely. All Disney had to do was think outside the box and implement new rules like park hopping limitations and reservations to keep closer tabs on social distancing. And it worked for what was needed at that time. While much of the country has shown limiting crowds is no longer a top priority for health and safety reasons, people are angry that Disney hasn’t gotten rid of its “unfair” and “obnoxious” park hopping rules....

“Divorce is a different kind of a loss than a death, and in some ways more difficult,” says Dr. Lavanya Shankar, an Austin, Texas-based psychologist and psychotherapist. “Your ex is still out there. You may ask yourself, What could I have done differently? It’s hard to grapple with. It’s the loss of your whole idea of yourself, what your future was going to be like. And it’s the breaking up of your family unit and the guilt associated with that....

We spoke to Bellew about how parental rights have shifted in the courts, what attitudes get in the way of reaching an agreement, what influencing factors are rarely taken into account, and how soon-to-be-exes can minimize the collateral damage during custody battles. You’ve noticed a shift in how courts treat fathers. What, specifically, have you seen? When I first began practicing in 2005, I was representing victims of domestic violence exclusively....

What’s interesting is that these verbal leanings — conservative or liberal — prime the children who listen to their parent’s speeches and impromptu kitchen debates to lean one way or another by informing their manner of speech. In other words, part of handing down politics is handing down politics-inflected speech potentially out of line with your explicit messaging. Fortunately, scientists have created a test to allow people to know if there speech is out of whack with their beliefs....
