As someone with a 5yo.

Sit on the floor when interacting with them. Literally being on their level can help a lot, that and talk about stuff they are into.

As someone else mentioned, don't baby talk to them, unless they have some specific learning disability, a 5yo will know a lot about what they are into (a dinosaur kid will know heaps about dinosaurs)

My boys all love Lego, build cool stuff, then let them have it, don't use instructions.

I thought that was our new light infantry support core.

Cactus Outdoor.

I had the original pack now called Vacuole, used it for a long time 10 or so years, lost it one time when moving houses. My boys have one each for school now, I expect them to last for the duration.

I have two pairs of supertrousers and two pairs of hangdog shorts, all have lasted 6 years so far, daily use in summer / winter for the shorts / trousers.

The stuff made in the Christchurch factory is epic.

I believe this is called a heart-a-stroke

Came to say this exact thing.

FFS I have 100's of passwords saved in my keepass DB, they are all different.

Passwords will only autofill on the correct site, so look alike sites are captured by that simple bit of security.

I saw a cursed image yesterday. Kamala heavily pregnant, with Don looking down hand on belly, like you do when trying to feel the baby kicking.

Government’s push to fast-track projects in NZ stirs fears deep-sea mining off Taranaki, long opposed by the community, could go ahead

As the title says.

If you don't know the discworld books by Pratchett, Granny Weatherwax it the most formidable character. She is a witch, but doesn't generally use magic to solve problems; preferring to use persuasion and manipulation. In saying that her magic is extremely powerful.

Maybe a bard with huge wisdom, persuasion and intimidation.

 

Just wow!

What a psycho.

Air New Zealand has abandoned a 2030 goal to cut its carbon emissions, blaming difficulties securing more efficient planes and sustainable jet fuel.

The move makes it the first major carrier to back away from such a climate target.

The airline added it is working on a new short-term target and it remains committed to an industry-wide goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

The aviation industry is estimated to produce around 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions, which airlines have been trying to reduce with measures including replacing older aircraft and using fuel from renewable sources.

 

Just changed my theme to Vaporware dark, it is really funky.

I really like the monospaced font and retro-futuristic look.

 

I'd hate to see the school trips decline.

Not sure if this is a good thing or not.

HTP's may help stop smoking, or just as likely (in my opinion) increase the rate of people starting.

Seems like a win for the tobacco industry either way.

 

Dawn aerospace looking good

 

She should be removed from parliament, now that the investigation has concluded and she was found to be corrupt....get rid of her.
