Labels composed of letters to form otherwise meaningful words, it's still not a great option in terms of user accessibility. If even a couple of icons used similar words/ letters as their iconography, then suddenly it becomes an irritating nightmare just trying to identify which is which without breaking the flow of what your doing. If anything, a simple S would be acceptable, but that brings its own problems
Symbolic icons should never use words to convey their meaning. Some of us are dyslexic, some of us don't speak the language, some of us are blind as shit, etc.
As one cursed with an illiterate fuckwit for a brain-hole, any word can be either a random musical instrument or summon a demon, like fun little Schrodinger surprises. Just kinda gotta roll with it after a while
You are a really fucking cool dad for even wanting to build a tree house with your kids, good on you. Literally my best memories are with my dad building cool shit like tree houses, which eventually snowballed into me having a million random skills and the two of us building actual houses together. Even if you can't build something as complex as a treehouse right now, it's the participating and engaging with your kids' lives that really matters. They will remember you as the dad that showed up
Depends on the goal of the experiment. If the only aim is to determine the sqishability of the butter, then a plastic bag would be acceptable as it would provide no meaningful resistance to the tire. However, if one wishes to determine the precise nature of the butter's squish, then many more experiments need to be made, both to establish a control and to analyze additional squish conditions (butter temperature, wrapper on/ off, use of plastic bag, etc.)
Kid 1 still out there wondering how many inches away Paris is, lol
Of course, in the moment, answering an artillery barrage of questions is gonna be overwhelming and challenging. No shame in that, especially if you're wrangling three little minions the whole time. I'm getting more at the general idea of fostering a curious environment where saying, "huh, I don't really know what's gonna happen, but lets find out together . . . " regardless of the question or experiment needed to find out, is the default attitude. Which is something it sounds like you do a great job of, btw, but it's also something that seems to be increasingly absent in this modern world (or maybe I'm just getting old)
I'm commenting on the odd nature of the post and your behavior in the comments, pointing out that it comes across as more a shallow advertisement than a sincere endorsement, that is all. I don't know enough about DeepSeek to discuss it meaningfully, nor do I have enough evidence to decide upon its open source status.
This is exactly the kind of shit you should do with your kids. It teaches them it is not only good to be curious about things but also how to then go seek an understanding to those curiosities. That and its just fun as hell to do silly, goofy experiments.
When adults run into 'dumb' questions like this, we tend to dismiss them and move on, forgetting that there is always an opportunity to learn or to teach. All this really does is stall curiosity and leave the world with a little less knowledge.
