@jayplemons@spencerpratt Wild how @LlamasNBC kept repeating the same question to try to back @spencerpratt into a corner. Fair and balanced reporting? No...Irrelevant questioning. Just like ANY job, whether you like coworkers or not doesn't matter. You still have to figure out how to get the work done.
Finnish scientists trucked in real forest dirt and grass and laid it over the gravel at four daycare yards. They let the kids dig around in it for a month. The blood tests came back with changes the researchers hadn’t expected to see so fast or so clear.
The study ran at ten daycares in two Finnish cities with 75 kids aged three to five. Four of the yards got the forest treatment: about a tennis court worth of soil and grass laid over the gravel, plus planters and peat blocks the kids could dig and climb on. Three others stuck with their normal gravel yards. The last three were daycares where the kids were already visiting real forests every day.
After one month, the variety of bacteria living on the kids’ skin shot up, and the kind that helps train the skin’s immune defenses jumped the most. Their gut bacteria started to look like the gut bacteria of the forest-visiting kids. Their blood showed more of the immune cells whose job is to keep the body from freaking out at harmless stuff like pollen and peanuts, and overall inflammation dropped. The kids on the plain gravel yards showed none of this.
Childhood asthma in the US doubled between 1980 and 1995. Food allergies in kids jumped 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, then jumped another 50 percent between 2007 and 2021. And peanut allergies in one-year-olds tripled between 2001 and 2017.
The Finnish researchers think one of the reasons is simple: kids today don’t get dirty enough. 37 percent of American preschoolers now spend an hour or less outside on a normal weekday. Their immune systems are getting trained in environments stripped of the bacteria humans have always lived around.
Aki Sinkkonen, who led the study, put it in plain words: “It would be best if children could play in puddles and everyone could dig organic soil.” The Finnish government is now helping pay for daycares across the country to make the same changes.
@Thedrken@Allstate They also adjust the terms in the small print every so often. Discovered a change that damage from wind/hail has a deductible that differs from "other" roof damage, so they'll only cover $600 of missing/damaged shingles and shutters since it was from strong wind storms. Worthless
@Allstate why do we have insurance? Roof damage and come to find that wind and hail damage isn't covered under the same parameters as "other" roof damage? What "other" roof damage is there? Would it be financially better to have something fall through the roof?

“A racist person would never call you & your family beautiful”
“He sees this beautiful family of this mom & kid, he’s gonna call them beautiful & a gift from God & you trying to sit here and tell me that he hates black people”
So incredibly grateful for this great group! Congrats and all the best to our seniors Lindsay, Ireland & Lizzie! Best of luck to Hudson the rest of the way!
