You know what’s fucked? As people keep going out and acting like covid isn’t a big deal, my nurse friends and I (in our 20s) are contemplating whether it’s time to get our wills drawn up. Because we know not all of us will make it. Hope you had fun at the beach, Karen.

You're still you. And your passions haven't changed. If anything, now is the most important time to put them out there. To show your viewers that the world hasn't ended and there's still beauty and comedy to share. 👊

I was talking to my gma on the phone about everything and joked it’s easy for John and me to social distance because we don’t have friends to begin with and she just didn’t know how to respond “Well... ummmm...” 🤣🤣🤣 Truth inspired sarcasm doesn’t translate well across gens.

So there are bathroom vent fans with built-in Bluetooth speakers. I know this because one of my neighbors has one, and it's unsecured.

I also know they just turned it off, because Baby Shark just jumped back to my own speakers.

That was a fun but small happy hour gathering. Maybe doing one of these weekly would be a good idea. It'd have to be in the late afternoon/evening Pacific time. Let's see what the interest is for time of day… WHEN WOULD YOU MOST LIKELY JOIN AN ONLINE HAPPY HOUR?

I’m on my couch with my MacBook Pro drinking tea while watching the news. This tweet was a whole bunch of gender normative stupidity, even if it was meant innocently.

literally reading this on my pink 12" MacBook sitting on my pink couch right now.

Anyone have advice for Bluetooth HD camera I can use for Zoom conferencing? I want to mount it on my TV for AirPlay video chats w/ kids, but I don't want to use camera in laptop or iPad (because it's too distracting for my 2yo and he grabs everything and anything)

There's also this kind of thing: https://www.solaborate.com/hello2 Basically an android device with a nice camera that plugs into a TV. Wouldn't do FaceTime, but it works with Zoom and stuff.

"I wonder where the FIRE folks are now?!"

Right here.
💸Comfortable after saving 75% of my income for 5 years.
💸 Cut discretionary spending when times were good.
💸 Figured out how to be happy with less.
💸 Picked a portfolio allocation that planned for times like these.

Now that all modern browsers support SVG favicons, here's how to turn any emoji into a favicon.svg:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<text y=".9em" font-size="90">💩</text>
</svg>

Useful for quick apps when you can't be bothered to design a favicon!

Was there 🥃 involved?

Absolutely! Actually the first was a work virtual happy hour where a coworker who has a YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/cocktailchemistry taught everyone how to make a daiquiri live on zoom 😂

Absolutely! I was in two Zoom parties last night and it was a blast!

Hear me out.

Okay, I’m just spitballin’ here but what if, just what if when this pandemic ends we switch over to the metric system and get rid of daylight saving time?

Boom.
