actually works for me - may be worth a try next time
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...
@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.
@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...
@eclectech @cyriak you too, eh?
@eclectech @Alexis (just don't tell mary where the spare memory from her gaming laptop ended up installed ;)
@dominocat *sproing*
@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*
@dominocat hola!
