I certainly wouldn't buy all our kids books brand new.

I do buy a couple of the hard cover classics.

I buy a heap from thrift stores. This is probably the majority.

We go to the library when we can.

I also pirate and print some.

Do you not have access to books from when you were a kid? That's what mom did until she could buy new books.

Yeah, you'll be handed a ton of books from relatives and friends if you ask openly

Sorry, I guess the context is that none of those things we kept from when I was a child.

With kids paraphernalia there's the cheap stuff that gets worn out quickly and discarded, and the expensive stuff that might last more than a generation. We had the items in the former category.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
