I have fantasies of a "Star Trek tricorder" where you can use an app on your phone to get essential health information without a blood draw. I know you can already use an app for checking things like pulse. I would like to see more such.

It's fine if it's a paid service. I'm not asking for charity here. I'm very much pro business or I wouldn't have spent so much time on HN over the years.

While I was homeless with my two adult sons, my son came up with the phrase "raising future adults" while we were talking one day. Shortly thereafter, I started my third attempt at a parenting blog using that phrase.

I self posted the above piece called The Hand Licking Incident to HN January 7, 2019 (nearly 7 years ago) and it did well, 641 points, 348 comments.

It made me ZERO dollars and ZERO cents. No one left any tips nor joined my Patreon.

Shortly thereafter, multiple articles using the phrase "raising future adults" popped up on the Internet. Some butthead happy to line his pockets by stealing phrasing, branding and market position from a dirt poor woman now has the .com site.

I know no one cares.

No girls allowed in the old boys club except hookers and wives. Women: Primarily useful as a decorative bauble hanging off your left arm so you can politely brag "I can afford THIS!" to left-handedly signal competence you may not actually have.

But you are lining someone's pockets for advice on how to raise ethical decent people when they are unacquainted with the concept of ethics themselves.

Methinks you are getting swindled. But it's your money to piss away as you see fit and build the kind of cesspit you prefer living in. I guess.
