If it does not, we at least can make peace that we're operating in the realm of non-obvious and/or non-optimal solutions. My anxiety tends to ramp up in the early afternoon. Thirty-minute walk at lunch. Sunny and warm. A disturbing number of cars on the road. Said hello to the pretty neighbor lady. Home ---------------------------------------- - 8:30 PM EDT virtual happy hour with Ed and Jay Done. Spent twenty minutes after work on the balcony, putzing around in the sun. Saw a couple turkey vultures. Emailed Jake for the first time in a while. https://blog.cloudflare.com/moving-from-recaptcha-to-hcaptcha/ Sanders dropped out. Fucking Biden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsizvQicXac Let's make a track on the Teenage Engineering OP-1. It's been two weeks since Michigan's stay-at-home order went into effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._Sullivan > On July 8, 1889, an estimated 3000 spectators boarded special trains for the secret location, which turned out to be Richburg, a town just south of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The fight began at 10:30, and at first it looked like Sullivan was going to lose, especially after he vomited during the 44th round. However, the champion got his second wind and was able to turn things around for himself. After a grueling beatdown, Kilrain's manager finally threw in the towel after the 75th round. Had a good long chat with Jay and Ed on Jitsi. The reduction in growth of new cases is very encouraging, but the lack of test numbers worries me.
