One joke that both my kids loved at that age goes as follows:

There’s this farmer who sits with his dog on a horse-drawn cart. Suddenly, the horse turns its head and says “Beautiful weather, boss!”. Obviously, the farmer is stunned. Then the dog nudges him and says: “Huh that’s funny. That horse just talked.”.

Maybe ‘Wies’ was short for ‘Louise’?

A very old-fashioned Flemish name: Veerle. One of the few bad-ass girl names in the Dutch language. It is derived from medieval times, when ‘Veerlen’ were travelling warrior women. I do happen to know several men named Fons, some even younger than me. I even know a man named Wies (his full name is Aloysius).

I find it inconceivable that no one has mentioned ‘The Princess Bride’ yet.

Bring in the downvotes, but Spotify. I listen to music several hours a day, both old and new and it helps me discover lots of new music and even genres. For me personally, that’s worth the money.

Amon Tobin - Easy Mufffin

Exactly. Fucking parasites!

I recently told a seven year old that I am a wizard. I already have the beard and being a programmer, that is exactly what my customers feel about my work.

I switcthed to barefoot shoes for hiking and everyday. They are the opposite of sturdy, but well worth the investment. As a guy in his late forties, I have fewer little nagging pains.

Running shoes because when you wear ill-fitting shoes, you will hurt yourself eventually.

daaaaad!

Dvorak. I switched back in 2005 from qwerty and never looked back. I never looked forward either, so I may try out Colemak at some point in time. Workman looks solid for English, but I am not a native English speaker.

Because reality is even worse.

I did not know that. Thank you.

I have krunner with the man plugin enabled. When typing man:X in the krunner prompt, a window opens with a nicely styled man page.
