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.

The Germans kept careful documentation. The allies also photographed the hell out of it, and protected those records. They knew future generations (us) wouldn't believe how evil "normal" people could get. So made sure to collect plenty of evidence.

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.

My daughter is 5 now. She's discovered the joy of telling jokes. Unfortunately, her repertoire is painfully small. I've also realised most of my jokes are either not age appropriate or too situational.

What are best/worst kids jokes? Extra points for any that would make her teacher groan. Apparently she LOVES jokes. 😁

 

My Google-fu has completely failed me. I've got an RGB addressable led curtain. It has 20 strings of 20 LEDs in a square arrangement. I initially assumed it had a wire feeding led data back up, to go to the next drop. On checking however, they are T jointed.

Apparently the address is hard coded into the RGB controller in the LED. I've found a few places where others have talked about them. I've also found that adafruit had some available,, unfortunately they lacked any info on how they are programmed, or where to source them from.

Anyone got any info on what the chip name of these is? Even better if you have any info on how they are programmed etc!

 

All hail the lemming of Lemmy!
