I’ve been going to the same Costco for 8 years. And I’ve been saying hi to Jim for 8 years.
Pshtt, not until he dies of dysentery once or twice.
To be fair, you’re also describing working with other people.
That’s also 'cause other people’s regex are garbage!
Depending on which of my friends are around:
World War Z
Payday 3
DarkTide
Or with my kids:
Minecraft
Monster Hunter World/Rise
Terraria
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare
Gonna try out the Enshrouded Steam Next demo this week.
My wife’s followup to her surgery for a broken foot was impacted because none of the X-ray technicians were present.
I don’t think a chatbot is going to replace an X-ray technician.
I’d imagine that after the first day, just “Hey, how’s it going?” or such is going to be fine. If they’re anything like my 8 and 11 year old, they’ll either ignore you completely, or talk to you incessantly. So long as you don’t just completely ignore them, acknowledge their presence, and respond to them when they attempt to interact with you, you’ll be fine. It’s their house, you shouldn’t feel the need to act like their personal entertainment unit :)
I tend to just talk to other people’s kids (and mine) as if they were adults. I absolutely detest it when people speak to my kids in those high pitched sing-songy voices, and so do my kids.
Don’t fake or force anything. For a younger kid like the 3 year old, I might squat down or kneel so as to be at eye level with them. Sure, the 3 year old probably won’t be the best conversationalist or have similar interests to you. But if you can make small talk with an adult, you can ask a child what interests them or what they did recently that they thought was neat. Maybe they’ll talk about a show they watched recently and you can ask who their favorite character is and why.
Children are just adults with fewer experiences and different concerns.

I see a lot of good advice, so I’m going to suggest something different. Have your son watch this guy or someone like him do some stuff.

He just picks something that interests him and builds on top of that interest.
My kids (8 and 11) don’t even have any interest in doing programming at the moment, and they like watching him build stuff. We watched the Geographical Adventures playlist twice.
So, what, we’re just going to carry around USB antennas now?
For a number of years now, work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such an instrument is the turbo encabulator.
You’re talking about PowerShell but then complaining about cmd. Are you unaware that PowerShell is its own cli?
Ask any female friends or relatives of yours how they would feel if a 6’5” man continued to approach them and ask what they thought of his penis. See if they think it’s a mild annoyance.
My wife is 5’2". She’s been physically pushed around by a man in the past. I’m 5’11" and if I get upset at her, she will cower. If I advanced on her threateningly, she would panic. If a stranger who was half a foot larger than me did, she would absolutely fear for her safety.
That reminds me of when I was in college and my friend tried to put Bjork, Human Behavior on. Touch screen kiosks in the 90s didn’t work so well and it wouldn’t start so he kept putting it in.
After the 2nd time it played he waved apologetically at everyone.
After the 4th time it played, he said we had to leave.
It started again on our way out.
Neat. Now do the extremely heavy, large, not-EVs.
Uh huh.
No way!
Get out of here!
See I told you that removed was crazy!
About 25 years ago, my car was struck by another, in the rain, with very poor visibility, on a two-lane highway, going around a curve. I came to and discovered that my car was on its roof, and I had gotten out of it while dazed. I was about 3 feet away from traffic that was passing by, facing the highway, and had almost walked out into traffic.
Wait until you hear that Disney’s Frozen was only created so that searching for “Disney Frozen” would result in the movie intead of Walt Disney’s frozen head.
