Be sure to read the review at the link. Again, this is a NY Times Wirecutter review.

They are taking turns on Khan Academy, a free app for reading and math under 2nd grade.
I did not know if 64 GB would be adequate but the review says it it adequate for most users; it will cost another $150 to upgrade to 128 GB. It seems more than adequate for Judah and Levi. The boys turn four in early March. They are already quite proficient on the iPad.
By next Christmas, I assume, I will get a second iPad so they each have one .. if they can hold out that long.
We talked about this yesterday. Now, Charles Kennedy weighs in.
From the linked article:
According to Agora’s calculations, only about 15% of the CO2 volumes saved last year constitutes permanent emissions reductions resulting from additional renewable energy capacity, efficiency gains, and the switch to fuels that produce less CO2 or other climate friendly alternatives.
“About half of the emissions cuts are due to short-term effects, such as lower electricity prices, according to the analysis,” the think tank said, noting that “most of the emissions cuts in 2023 are not sustainable from an industrial or climate policy perspective - for example, if emissions rise again as the economy picks up or if a share of Germany’s industrial production is permanently moved abroad.”
“We don’t consider the emissions reductions seen in the industrial sector to be sustainable. The drop in production due to the energy crisis weakens Germany’s industrial base,” said Simon Müller, director of Agora Energiewende Germany.
I measure the health of a country's economy by the energy it uses. From twitter today, this is not a good news story:

Personal investing: my buckets -- again, this is not my portfolio. This is simply where / how new money will be / is allocated. Those in "red" are new additions. I try to keep the total to 20 tickers.
"Movers" should be re-named "trading only." These positions are bought to be held for eight months or less, deciding then whether to hold or sell. The others have a 5-year holding position and my overall portfolio has a rolling 30-year horizon. When looking at charts for investing purposes, I only "compare" at one-year and five-year histories.
Today, I added to my positions in:

RBN Energy: Michigan gives Line 5A a nudge, but pipeline still ensnared by controversy.
After a roughly three-year wait for a critical state permit, Enbridge’s Great Lakes Tunnel and Pipe Replacement project for its Line 5 pipeline across the Straits of Mackinac in Michigan has taken a step forward. The Army Corps of Engineers’ permits for the tunnel project would seem to be the only major obstacle standing in the way of construction, but there may well be more challenges ahead. Like a few other oil and gas projects — namely, Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) and Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) — Line 5 has become entangled in controversy, including local opposition worried that a spill would irreparably damage their surroundings and spoil the state’s natural resources. In today’s RBN blog, we take a closer look at the Line 5 project, its next steps, and the opposition it continues to encounter.
Ticker ENB: Enbridge has had a great one-month run and pays 7.38%. Whoo-hoo!
