Compare/contrast: "I have no idea why, I got up, came over here, and peed on your floor… and I remember being careful to hit only the carpet and not the video game or the printer" https://www.jwz.org/gruntle/leaky.html #jwz #friends #urine -

"I'm sorry l, dude. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but do you mind if I pee in this corner right over here? Just… don't look ok? Sorry, been holding it in for a while" #busStopConversationsWithStrangers -

The idea of `travel kit #raspi' does lend a certain appeal to the #Pi-Top #hardware, similarly to realization from #OLPC that kids really do need to be able to take their !education tools with them. Wondering why nobody seems to be talking about that. -

So I guess that leaves the value of the #Pi-top software load as "It comes with Minecraft!"? -

The few actual reviews that I see of the #Pi-Top edugame software (+ the bug-reports in their issue-tracker) seem to indicate `it doesn't actually work all that well, the team isn't doing a great job developing/maintaining it, and it's not #open-source so nobody else can fix the bugs when their kids run into them'. "curriculum that can't be adapted or fixed" has always seemed like !education #fail.... -

So presumably the other "17+" are things that come from "CEED Universe" and the other game(s) that are preinstalled. -

Descriptions of the curricular material varies between "21 projects!", "20+ projects!", "these 3 projects!", and "a video game that teaches you things!". But there's never any actual description of the "20+", just the 3. -

It sounds like a big part of the draw to the #Pi-Top is supposed to be the curricular material + custom OS + other software that comes with it, but after further research it also sounds like `we'd end up throwing most of that crap away'... -

Should I get my son a #Pi-Top for his birthday, or a desktop #raspi + breadboard + grab bag of components? -

Any opinions on #XMPP vs. #IRC in 2018? How viable is it at this point for #FOSS projects to just use XMPP and forgo IRC? -

Am I the only one who thinks #mozilla's idea that "you don't want [just] 1/4 of your computer's power" used by the browser, that "you want _all of it_" taken for _every page_ sounds... insane? https://www.youtube.com/embed/2RhbYpgVpg0?start=93&end=107 -

Read the #ThingExplainer chapter on nuclear bombs to my son @rafael this weekend. He thinks most things in that book are dumb, but sat rapt for this one. So did I. It's less like "up goer 5" and more like how #DrWho describes the Last Great Time War, and utterly terrifying in its real-ity. !parenting -

@tuttle, I checked directly w/ the lab afterward, and they only charge $17 *including* the 2-stop push—and they do volume discounts! So wow. -

No, they're actually just sending it to https://oldschoolphotolab.com/ + adding #middleman fees: price sheet says "+2 stops = +100% price". -

They'll probably need an hour to find a howto on the internet. So, all considered, $35 ain't that bad.. -

Dropped a roll of slide #film off at the local camera store for push processing. Holy crap—$35!? -

I wonder just how different my two kids' childhoods are going to end up being; "seeing elephants at Barnum's Circus", "shopping at Toys'R'Us", "dining at Bugabbo Creek and Rainforest Café"… are all things oddly on one side of the age-gap. What else?
