My kid was asking if rabbits can get coronavirus. He's concerned for the Easter bunny.

We told him the Easter bunny can't get human sicknesses.

My spouse ordered 2 bags of flour on Amazon. They were shipped in a box, just dropped in there.
So now we have a box full of flour.

Today's trolley problem.

I have mixed feelings about Trump calling it "Chinese virus".
On the one hand, Trump is obviously race baiting. On the other, it's China's poor animal rights and food market policies that created the disease.
It's a disease of Chinese policy's making, but not Chinese ethnicity or nationality.

She isn't wrong. We should pay for what's important

I'm sad.. the fingerprint sensor on my phone doesn't work anymore. Did everything I could, even factory reset the phone.

Now I have to type my PIN in again like it's 2014.

ASSORTEDFLOTSAM.COM will be rebooting briefly. Mailgun, our mail provider, is ending their free tier and I don't see the point in paying them for what little email we send. Instead, emails will be sent directly from the server.

We're putting rooftop solar on our home! We should be able to generate the entirety of our home's electrical power from the sun, through most of the year. #environment #solar #energy #climate

Had the weirdest sales experience with one of the solar consultants. He had me on the phone and had his presentation ready, but I told him my wife couldn't make it, so rather than go ahead and try to sell me on the product, he insists on rescheduling so that he doesn't "have to explain it again." I'm like... I'm here, I'm reasonably competent with words, and I'm leading this project for the house, so it's fine, but no, he insists.
Must really not want to make a sale, that's all I can think of.

Feeling glum lately.
