I'm glad you're home, I'm sorry you're feeling not-so-hot.
Mental, physical, emotional, or something else?
Either way we're here for you and you're prayed for!

In only vaguely-related-to-anything news, Eldest's distant learning program/website did not succeed this morning - just couldn't get the actual website to function for us.
We used the right url, the right info, and it wasn't the internet (for once) or the site itself (which worked for others), and my computer functioned for everything but that site, but we got it fixed! ...by hitting "refresh."
(A tactic which hadn't worked for the first two hours, so, of course, it began working almost immediately after I informed his teacher - with picture - that we couldn't get in by email. Eliminate all known possible error sources, write email, check once more, send the email, start him on random "burn some time doing next math" assignment, hit refresh by habit not expecting anything, and bam it works. Of course. But at least it works! His teachers have since been informed. Wheee~!)

Also, anyone seen Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts on netflix? Because its amazing and I need to talk to people about how cool it is and how it needs an RPG adaption.
It's one I've wanted to see, but we just haven't had the time.
That said, with all of these strong recommendations, it's likely something we're going to check out soon!

Oh, I get it.
I have a young child and have worked with others.
I'm presuming, at least, that it's not an adult or older child, but, hey, I'll, uh, grant that people sometimes don't communicate well before-hand, and, perhaps, not everyone realized they're on video somehow - it's why we have strictly enforced, "Yes, it's a phone call, it doesn't matter put clothes on (which you should always have anyway)." policy.
Fortuitously (given that some of our things are recorded for YouTube) we have entirely avoided any incidents thus-far.
I mean, the worst thing that happened was that one girl was caught playing her Switch by my son - who was caught texting with a person.
*prepares for some sort of cosmic irony incoming...*

Fair deal!
EDIT: so, captain, would you say you've been practicing for this moment your whole life?

I understand that working from home is requiring big adjustments from people. Learning to type your password correctly should not be one of those adjustments.
I had to talk to a guy on Friday. The same guy twice on Saturday. The same guy again this morning. He keeps locking out his account.
Hey, man, don't dox m- oh, you're talking about someone from your company. Right. Right. I knew that. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
(I actually rarely mistype most of my passwords, but there was one a couple weeks ago that I just... could... not... get correct, no matter what I tried. As it is now "changed," I'll never know exactly what I was doing wrong.)

I think she's seen it twice or three times so far.
A mega bunny is a 30 ft high bunny so I think she'd pet it.

Tech not working untill you complain about it is a valid way of fixing things.

She said she was thinking the other night "I AM the Mega Bunny!" So she says yes, yes she would.

Speaking of passwords, I think Zoom wins for "worst password implementation EVER".
Thanks to "Zoom bombing", Global Megacorporation added a strong password requirement for Zoom meetings.
When you host a Zoom meeting, Zoom displays that strong password in plain text on the meeting welcome page so every participant can see it.
So when is a strong password not strong? When you show it to everyone you ever hold a meeting with!
And someone had to consciously make the decision that it was a good idea to display the password in the meeting. It's not the kind of thing that just gets displayed by accident.

After its shipping was unexpectedly delayed, and then surprise pushed up, and then surprise-again arrived two days ahead of schedule... my rotary motor tool showed up today. None of my other supplies have been shipped yet, so not much I can (constructively) do.
This thing should really come with warning labels, though, because all I want to do now is start sawing things or auguring holes in them or grinding/sanding them off (or all three). Not because any of these things need to be done, but simply because the capability is now in my hands.
(I now have head canon for why so many NPCs never survive long enough to hit 2nd level. "Oooo, just got my own shiny new sword. I'm gonna... go up and poke that unknown critter over there with it. Because I can.")

Surely "Arson. Reasonable. Sensible. Effective." is better. Then the acronym is "ARSE".

How about "Arson. Reasonable. Sensible. Effective. Helpful. Optimized. Luxurious. Effervescent. Solutions."?

Impus Minor: (Sounding very worried and concerned) Dad, are the guys working on the deck gone?
NobodysHome: (Gets all fatherly-concerned for his son) Yes, Impus Minor. Why? What's wrong? (Waits for a complaint about the noise, the lack of privacy, or whatnot)
IM: (Very seriously) I think you're getting ripped off. All those guys did was to rip up our old deck, tear up the back yard, throw down some plywood, and rub some dirt on it.
Sometimes I loves me my kids. I laughed SO hard...

It's a full deck rebuild. It'll probably take a week or two, and he's well aware of that. He just pretended he wasn't and he acted as if they were done at the end of the day they started, so he was acting horrified that they'd just ripped up our old deck, thrown down some plywood, and left.
