    Honestly, if they go another year with no inventory QoL update it'll be really rough. There are going to be so many new blocks

    That's so odd, hah. We've got the radio on at work and outside of random country themed events, they don't play any

    I've definitely seen people with masks at festivals and such, but they do double duty as dust masks as well

    Not sure about the Netherlands, but I wonder if its based on the parents? I know here in Germany the schools have a lot of immigrant/refugee children from the recent crises and it'll take a few more years for many of them to integrate, if they ever do.

    From speaking with colleagues who have children in their teens/tweens, there's definitely been a shift

    I also really enjoy listening to music as a whole set... but 90% of what I listen to is psytrance, and while the live versions differ from the studio versions, it's a lot of digital, not live instruments or vocals.

    Less heat, perhaps? I have a combination washer and dryer and I've not yet had shrinking clothes. But most of my clothes are cotton, no proper wool or synthetics, so I dunno

    Not the person you asked, but I see it as a kind of steam deck - if you know what you're playing and will be for the next x years, and those run just fine... Its a good deal. And once you can't run the latest and greatest game in 5-6 years, you can still play the old ones, or you can turn it into a media device or basic office PC.

    Not going to comment on having or not having kids, but regarding the adoption:

    When I was little, my aunt and uncle came home with a boy. He was... 3 or 4 or so? I was 5ish

    I only really understood he was adopted later, mostly it meant we had someone else to play with and argue with and just be children with.

    This was in the early 90s, so it will be a bit different now, but you mentioned a lot of children in the family - I think similar age playmates and an extended (accepting) family would make a lot of the typical adoption challenges much easier to overcome.
