My 3 boys, and various friends loved that toy.

Yes; a lot of things get hit, even themselves.

To anyone saying that these are a bad toy. You are wrong! There are so many learning opportunities for babies and toddlers in this toy.

It is super cool seeing a really little kid “building” the duplo with their little hammer.

Climate change.

In the mid 90’s when the data was becoming more mainstream, I felt that there wasn’t enough info to make a decision on it, looking back from now there was but the O&G lobby was muddying the waters as much as possible.

A few years later, ~97/98; I had read enough studies and seen enough data to accept that, yes; we were changing the climate, and yes; we need to do something about it.

It has shaped a lot of the decisions I have made in the last 25+ years.

BTW electric power tools kick arse.

This list seems intentionally misleading, I would have thought that highest grossing was the money earned by the actual actor. I.e. pay + backend.

I have a boox note 3. It’s great, ReadEra is my default reading app, syncthing and Netguard are the main things I use.

I once long ago worked in the incoming mail department for are insurance company. It was basically data entry.

Thing was, there wasn’t enough work.

There were two teams of five, plus a supervisor for each team, and a manager above them.

So what would happen was, we would arrive in and go to our spots, a few minutes later the main would arrive. Most days there was 100 pieces of mail to process, a really busy day may have twice this amount.

Even the most complex items would take me 10 minutes to process. The bulk was around 3 minutes, given the above, could personally have processed all the mail on an average day, with 3hrs to spare for complications.

On an average day, I got in the order of 30-40 minutes of work.

On slow days, it was more like 20.

I started coming in late, sleeping at my desk. Wandering around, going up to the upper management offices and the roof.

I eventually got fired, after months of this behaviour. Not because I was underperforming, no! I got fired, because I was “effecting the moral of the team”

I can see the point of why I was fired. I was an arse, I wasn’t suitable for the role.

Inglorious bastards had some great moments. But overall I didn’t like it.

I was surprised by the reaction to this movie. I really enjoyed it.

I get this, other than Pulp Fiction, I dislike all of Tarantino’s films.

I don’t like the style or the pacing, I don’t like the revisionist take on events.

But people generally like his films.

This fucks me off sooooooooo much; in NZ there are a lot of (a fuck of a lot) of roads that don’t have overtaking zones for a long way.

Getting an opportunity to overtake the slow prick you have been following for 20 minutes, just to have them speed up…forcing me to go faster than I’m comfortable with, then being in front and have them sitting on your arse for the next 10km, even though you are going faster than before you overtook them…FUCK OFF!!!

This is the only correct answer

And socks…

That is exactly the same for your kids, it is not until their world expands a bit when they are 3-5YO; before that you are literally everything to them.

Even though it is an Australian movie The Castle is pretty good

You have to remember these are just simple farmers.
These are people of the land.
The common clay of the new west.

There was a really big popular movie last year, I think it was called “The Barbie Movie”

Stupid dates…initial thought was 11th of June…

Well if it makes you feel better (probably not); the right wing government here is tanking the economy…for reasons.

It seems to be hell bent on giving tax cuts to the already wealthy; but usually when they have done this in the past, the kept the rest of the economy relatively stable. But this time it is one terrible decision after another, and rather then the “soft landing” we were on target for when they were elected, is looking like a full recession that didn’t need to happen.

How would that make him a non-billionare?

He paid $44B for Twitter, even if it completely failed and he could realize no value from any of the assets. $44B is a small portion of his wealth.

You could have most people in a relatively small area with the rest for farming.

There would be little need for the equivalent of roads, almost all travel would be walk or bike. The longest distance between two points is less than 34km. If the main settlement is in a ring around the middle of the cylinder, it is less than 17km to any point.
