Me too…

Interestingly, lowering your expectations is a great way to be happier. Many people have heard of keeping up with the Joneses. That is the same thing. If you can be happy with what you have, your life will be better, even if you have little.

I’m living in an underdeveloped country at the moment, and most people are content, despite not having anything. They have community and relationships, but not things, and not always food. My family and I have learnt a lot from the local Ni-Van people

I get the premise of the joke, but don’t discount it.

Read the barefoot investor. Has some great tips for kids pocket money, as well as a simple way to educate them on how to use it.

It boils down to splitting the money into spend, safe, give. Spend for lollies and random crap, save to work towards buying something big (like a computer game, RC car etc) and give to teach them the joy of helping someone else.

He also recommends that you should pay cash, so that money is real and they value it. Cards are intangible and impossible for for kids (and most adults) to really understand what they are spending.

All I see is red head

That is a good point

I expect that this will just be bluetacked to the wall, nothing fancy for a 14 year old.

I just had another person say Big W. I had never thought of a store like that.

I expect that the record stores will be about musicians, not sports. But i also thought about independent record stores

Do I think Michael is a poser? I dunno. But good point :)

Ah yes, I just saw your username! The desire checks out :)

What about a LoRaWAN node? Add to the free stuff!

I gave found the usecase for meshtastic outside of your own large property

We tend to have a lot more crooners in ours, with a fairly heavy hit of Michael Buble.

I would go kde plasma everyday. I always find little things that limit what I am trying to do on cinnamon.

Not big things, little trivial things. An example is wireless hotspot. I cannot change the password through the gui. Why? Dunno. Deal breaker? No. But those are the little things that kde has right.

Not sure about xmpp, but definitely matrix
