As a follow-up, what are some ways we can contribute to a reactor being built in our own areas? I'd love to have one of these providing power in Wisconsin.

There's a mattress store in my area (not sure if it's regional/national - HassleLess Mattress) that advertises the fact that its stores are employee-free, you can just walk in & walk around & lay on the beds & order at a kiosk. I didn't end up buying from them as I didn't love the option for our preferred firmness in our price range, but it was probably the weirdest shopping experience I've ever had.

Thank you for doing this AMA! If this is out of your lane, no worries at all.

I have an 11 year old with ADHD. He's a great kid & does about as well as a kid in his circumstances could do in virtual school, but I feel like I see signs of anxiety in him in the way he gets down on himself for various screw ups. I try to encourage him that everyone has shortcomings & that's part of being human (and I'd be a liar if I didn't own up to my own shortcomings of letting my frustrations get the better of me at times), but I sense in him something I've always had myself: deep down, I hold myself to perfection & have a hard time both accepting my own mistakes & listening to others' encouragement.

I would absolutely love any advice about helping him (and me, if I'm being honest) learn to forgive himself & be less anxious over his shortcomings?
