I apologize in advance for asking an off-topic question, but my Google-fu has failed me.
My girlfriend's niece is a Small Child who likes to turn the volume on her Android tablet all the way up, making it too loud for everyone else. How can we make it so that when she tries to make the tablet louder, nothing happens? (I know how to do this on an iOS device but not an Android one.)
I'd have a bunch of Magic card names. ;)
In the story the attacks supposedly committed by minorities are actually committed by the government. To map this onto reality, it appears that the story is an allegory for how Bush did 9/11!
But I'm fairly sure Bush didn't actually mastermind 9/11. And I imagine that if there were a society of animals with human-level intelligence, different species would commit crimes at vastly different rates - after all, regardless of whether human biodiversity is a thing, animal biodiversity certainly is!
So I thought the moral of the story completely falls to pieces when you think about it. Despite that, the film was certainly enjoyable.
Well, by a faction within the government...
Whatever your solution ends up looking like, a key feature has to be "I can post a link on Facebook or whatever that people can click on and read in their web browser." If you can't be linked to it's no good.

Just saw Zootopia. Best movie I've seen so far this year - it's a legit "buddy cop" detective story as well as a satisfying parable about racism and stereotyping. There's even a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Breaking Bad reference. ;)
Beware hidden low sample sizes! "66.6% of the treated rats improved. The other rat died."
Well, /new is used for meetup announcements these days. Maybe you meant the Discussion page (where this post is)?
That was back when Main actually had content.
Yes, this has been a problem for some time - I just bookmarked the "New" page and completely ignored "Promoted" since the beginning...
Oh brilliant! Well done medicine! How long have they been claiming that? For twenty years I've been going to see a witch-doctor, and now it turns out her spells really have kept me out of a wheelchair.
Aargh, I've just believed you without checking because it fits. A primary sin. Do you have a reference for that?
Never mind. My original source was my father (who's usually pretty reliable when it comes to pseudoscience) but apparently the current Cochrane review says it's no better than placebo. (The subluxation theory of chiropractic is nonsense, but it's not ridiculous that fiddling with someone's back can relieve back pain - massages, for example, tend to feel good.)

If she's smart enough to understand words then just tell her not to do it. Take away the tablet whenever she disobeys.
If she's too young for that, tape over the part of the thing that she could press, or just hang it out of reach playing something happy.
Tried the first thing. She doesn't listen - the result would be she never keeps the tablet for very long.
