Nice idea @mrchrisadams 
Weāre working on our own video conferencing app, this could be a really cool feature to implement on it. Iāll DM you the link, as weāre keeping it for internal use at the moment.

Had a panic attack while doing groceries. Under normal circumstances any less than one meterās distance to unknown humans (and dogs) is trying. Avoid crowds like the plague (dont go to e.g concerts for this reason). With this thing going on, people getting within 3 meters kicks off anxiety attacks. This is going to be me any day soonā¦

My stay-at-home project - converting an old falling-down chicken coop into a sturdy shed. Built those doors yesterday. All old-growth redwood salvaged from other projects. There is a book called āGood to Greatā that posits it is easier to go from being good at something to great than it is going from mediocre to good. In carpentry, I am trying to prove that theory wrong. The key word is ātrying.ā

My partners company is trying hard to make their employees comfortable in home office, sending the ergonomic office chairs, screens, a care package with a teddybear. And for this Friday they send every employee a lunch. But they might not have thought that through. They are sending lunch for one person to each employee. I guess that in a family with two kids or so they might be a bit disappointed that mum or dad is getting delivery, but they not ;). But nevertheless, they are trying which is a nice effort.

thatās really lovely.
When watching any film or series where they share food in public or shake hands like normal people I now have an immediate reaction of:" NOOO! you should not do that!". Noticed something similar with old movies when they need to communicate something and canāt reach each other immediately thinking: āJUST call or send a message.ā or āJUST google itā. Before remembering that in that era their were no smartphones. Brain immediately interprets āimagesā from the past under a current lens.
Did you experience similar?

Looks to me like you are already great at home repair/remodeling, John!
As long as no precision is requiredā¦
@hampus living the dream in Blivande, where he set up a production line to produce visors and gowns for a local hospital. They are expecting 300 gowns and as many visors as we can make on Monday. I will be going there tomorrow morning to work all day with @kimgajraj and TEAM MICROBE.
Weāve got a scoreboard, competing for KUDOS $ and a secret prize. We got plenty of materials donated to us, so we will be running the production line as long as we can.

Weāre now starting to make more of our own food at the house.
Soy yoghurt is a staple breakfast food that never comes without plastic packagingā¦ Plus itās expensive and most have sugars in it. So this is a 300eur money saver over 6 months, give or takeā¦ And of course healthier and more enjoyable.

After I get done sitting here I am going out to pull weeds in the front yard. Canāt get in too much trouble doing that.
Reading about Noemi making yogurt - I find that going to the store less means much more DIY in the kitchen. Glad I bought a big 10K bag of pinto beans last month and a 10K bag of wheat berries. Green food is a bit of an issueā¦

I would totally eat a raccoon once in my life, even as a vegetarians. I have never even seen one.
Well then olā buddy, come on out west and I will show you plenty of them. Nightly viewings are possible - just leave your trash can out with the lid unsecured.
