My kids and I read Harry Potter a lot. We love it and it’s been a good bonding experience.

We limit our consumption of Harry Potter though. We read the books, watch the old movies and occasionally (once a year) maybe, purchase a lego set.

I have explained to my kids that I would rather not support JK Rowling due to her stance on trans people and for the most part they are cool with things.

I am certainly still not helping but I believe my kids understand pretty well

I love that someone out there is like

“Yes, finally all I needed was a woman spanking a banker in a pig mask”

Deleted as my comment was useless.

I am currently reading the book to my 12 year old daughter.

I can’t wait for her mind to be blown. Its not “Sci-Fi”…

But its totally Sci-Fi in that it challenges your morality and the way you see the world

Same. I have everyone in my circle gassed up to see this one.

I am not much of a movie person but the book is probably one of my favorite things I have read in the last few years.

“Fuck Dem kids”

– Republican Party

pretty sure they have said that many times

I assure you

When you step into a full body scanner SOMEBODY gets a look at your shrinky-dink!

When we fly we are forced to let some stranger see our junk with the full body scanner

Gotta make sure no one is smuggling a full sized tube of tooth paste up their ass

Seems reasonable given that

I have an Aqara doorbell camera thats been really nice

I am not 100% sure about their privacy but the camera can record local as well as to iCloud when used with HomeKit

My IoT approach for the last 7 years has been HomeKit or DIY and I have not been disappointed too much

The cycling industry seems to be rooted in a lot of tradition rather than science

I love this

I love hauling things with my bicycle. I used my bicycle as part of my move over the summer.

We were moving around 2 miles so it was pretty practical

Moving the Christmas trees was sketchy as the trailer wanted to fish tail :)

He documented an era and inspired many people

You will never be able to talk about the early days of the internet or computing and not refer to his work

I do not weld but could see myself making this mistake without having been informed.

I use brake clean as a basic cleaner for a lot of things in my garage as it does a pretty good job and also evaporates quickly without leaving a residue.

The story tracks my general experiences pretty well

I would guess this mistake is much more common as brake clean is used as a general cleaner by a lot of people

I mean, if we are going to capitalism with a straight face we have to start being the whole bitch.

He owned it, Lamborghini wanted it… that made it a valuable asset that he held that Lamborghini should have paid for

So easy a caveman can do it; but not a tech bro.

All bad jokes aside, I can’t imagine a problem I had in raising my kids in the first 2 years that I think AI would’ve helped with.

Most things like that would’ve been lab reports and diagnosis from doctors which even Google searches just kind of caused more harm than good for me (harm being worry)

Modern fridges last less than 7 years.

I like smart devices and IoT but I hate that for normal people this has been diluted down to cameras and screens on everything with no consideration about privacy or boundaries.

Bottom rocker is territory.

Nomads naturally are not claiming anything but MCs will go to war over that bottom rocker as well.

I think the Hells Angels war with the Mongols started over this sort of conflict

Damn, I am sad now… kids don’t get the joy of a properly defaced text book anymore :(

And use proper passwords. IDEALLY just use a password manage… not LastPass… but LastPass is better than nothing
