You spill someone’s drink, you buy them another.

You break a window, you pay for it.

Let’s make that true for oil and gas corporations.

Combating devices can be hard, especially with kids just old enough to use them.
Two small victories over here this week.

1) 10 asked to play with sidewalk chalk, 7 was excited to join in. They asked to bring one walkie talkie, left the other with us, and just went out to play till we used the walkie talkie to call them back in. It was a moment of old tech for the win.

2) The computer helped with this one, but I found some matchstick puzzles online and thought 7 would be into them. I don't think I've seen a box of matches go this far before. I would just read out the equation or put down the pattern and tell them how many matches they could move to solve it. Super old tech for this one.

It's so hard sometimes especially when tech makes these moments easier to fill.

Please share with me your low tech parenting wins.

Again I stand by what I said. "I can't believe I even have to talk about these people. That's how ridiculous it s." We have the equivalent of the scientologists running the field of AI with untold amounts of money and power and we're the ones who have to do point by point rebuttals of their eugenicists dreams. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-commentary/billionaires-psychology-tech-politics-1235358129/

The Man in #Seat61 seems like a relic from a forgotten age of the #Internet.

Seat61.com is a genuinely useful website created by just one guy, a train travel enthusiast who has curated a vast array of information that will help anyone who would like to travel in #Europe by #train

He is not trying to sell you anything and there are no adverts (apart from a few affiliate ids).

His website has won various "best travel website" awards. Notably the last one was in 2012.
