Summer up how I feel about usb C now.

I have some sense of self preservation. She’s bad enough right now calling everyone a banana!

They definitely do!

I personally support this plan. Smoking in the UK has already plummeted. A lot of smokers have moved to vaping. Unfortunately, those left are often the ruder ones. Limiting where they cam smoke, or reduce expire for everyone else is a big dead for me.

Additionally, it’s not banning nicotine, it’s banning cigarettes. Vapes have changes the balance on that one. They are less damaging, and cause far less issues with passive smoking. This acts as a pressure relief valve, rather than a blanket nicotine ban. Also, at no point will an existing (legal) smoker go from legal to illegal.

The vape issue definitely needs fixing. A number have found advertising to younger users is a good money maker. Limiting the options here l, without an outright ban would help reduce the harm to children. It wouldn’t significantly affect ex smokers who moved to vaping.

First 3 should get a good reaction. The rest require context I’m more sure she’s picked up on properly yet.

There’s a few spellings I apparently have blind spot for. That is definitely one of them.

Both work for protecting humans. However, I believe vaccination is better overall. It also improves the quality of life of the chickens. Unfortunately, it’s also (very slightly) more expensive, so America went the cheap route. The EU mandated to reduce animal cruelty, by vaccination.

While I like this one. Unfortunately, I suspect it will get a blank, confused look. We’ve managed to almost completely avoid guns etc.

That one should definitely get a groan out of her teacher!

The start of one of my favourites, that fell completely flat.

What’s brown and sticky? A stick.

What big brown and sticky? A big stick.

What brown and hurt if it fall on you from a tree? A piano.

Que flat confused look.

5 years olds can be a tough crowd.

I’ll definitely be teaching this one to her. Even if only to see how badly she garbles telling it back!

She’s discovered the concept, along with jokes, she doesn’t quite “get” them yet. She gets the basic idea, but not the subtleties that make them work. The results are cute, but horrifically bad.

New Zealand is an amazing place. It’s like someone created the most idealic version of England. It feels very English, except the people are friendlier, the food is better, and the landscape is far more amazing and spacious.

Star wars, originally, only had 4 extra people on the death star. They are running out of room on set!

Physics seems to be very protective of causality. We don’t know the underlying mechanism, but it pops up in multiple areas of physics. The speed of light being the most blatant example.

We can see events happening, apparently put of sequence. What we can’t do is interfere with them.

Spacetime (you can’t talk about time only) or at least its substrate does get in knots, best we can tell. We call them fundimental particles. String theory/membrane theory are still very much theoretical physics right now, however, so it could be completely wrong.

The other alternative is a closed timelike curve. According to relativity, there are valid solutions that create such a curve. Theoretically, you could fly into one, traverse it, and exit before you entered at the start. This does require several black holes, moving at stupid speeds, orbiting each other, however. It’s also theoretical. While the equations allow it, we know they are incomplete. Physics seems to have blocks on anything that can mess with causality. It’s likely something, currently unknown, kicks in to stop the closed timelike curve from forming.

Autism doesn’t break the brain, it changes it.

In the most spectacular cases, these changes completely mess the brain up. In milder cases however, it’s far more of a mixed bag. It has a mix of pros and cons. I’m quite lucky and ended up with a lot of pros. I’m definitely not broken or sick. I do, however, think differently to most people.

Could glyphosate cause brain disruption, maybe (though unlikely). Does it cause autism, no.

It’s worth noting you should extend this mindset to those around you. An out of control car can slide a LONG way. Make sure you have the space and capability to get out of danger zones, or wait for them to be completely clear.

You might have proper winter tires, and be in control. This doesn’t stop an idiot on summer ties gliding into you like an elephant on iceskates.

Also extend this to others. Give the cars ahead of /around you PLENTY of room to escape.

My minion is still too young for that. I plan to wind them up mercilessly however. Right now, dad jokes are the height of humour to them.

• “I’m hungry”
• “Hi hungry, I’m dad!”
• “Nooooooo, I’m not called hungry!”
• “So why did you tell me your name was hungry?”
• …

I’ll be a little sad when it finally gets old.

Don’t bother with a usb key. Flash memory is technically volatile, it just takes a while to blank. Unless you plug the key in every 5 to 10 years, it will start losing data. By the time the time capsule is unearthed, it will likely be blank or corrupted.
