So the lad bought himself a Minecraft Turtle Base to play with. It came with a bunch of stickers which I dutifully and carefully applied for him. One was absent...
The pictures on the box showed a red carpet section on one platform.
There was no corresponding sticker.
He was (briefly) unhappy about this.
Mary has knitted him a red carpet for the turtle base out of Softyak wool.
I hope it's soft enough for his small plastic turtle...
@typejunky@mastodon.online utter poops :(
@eclectech makes me think of parents getting their kids booktokens.
granted, to me this was a bonus because hey more books, but for many of my classmates it was their parents dictating where they could spend money they were given
@eclectech depends on the articles of the charity. at the end of it all, he still gets to steer how his money's spent after 'giving it all away' which is silly.
@typejunky@mastodon.online website down, please use app instead. app "incompatible with your device, please use website"
gaaaaaaah. it's a fricking website frontend to a database. the app is just another web-based front-end to the same database. how shonky is their 486 webserver?
@eclectech I'm going to guess the "Bezos Charitable Foundation" will be set up, and employing both Bezos and his offspring for tax reasons.
not sure why I suspect this...

I take off my blindfold. Before me is a gory tableau of death and destruction, bodies strewn across the landscape. The piñata is unscathed.
@eclectech @cyriak you too, eh?
@eclectech @Alexis (just don't tell mary where the spare memory from her gaming laptop ended up installed ;)
@eclectech @Alexis I had spare kit around which was small enough to keep out of the way at home. re-use ftw.
also new dmz and careful googling of required ports
@Alexis *hastily builds own castle*
@typejunky@mastodon.online private "for now" at a guess.

@typejunky@mastodon.online my gran had that telly :)
@Edthedev mine requests a "dada chat" for bedtime as an alternative to a story. think: child-guided infodump :)

Thoughts on parenting small children
#parenting got so much easier when I discovered my #children fear a slow thoughtful academic lecture from me over any other possible consequence.
wall-climbing lobsters?
organised playground equipment has come a loooong way since I was a small
