"Still going to the grocery store? With new virus variants spreading, it’s probably time to stop."

Don't worry Vox, I've switched to cannibalism.

Homemade split pea and ham soup for lunch...

...because the extra food I bought last February in case of apocalypse isn't going to eat itself. 😂

(though seriously, I'll have to buy some more; preparedness is good)

Signal's down.

We really need a federated/decentralized alternative to it. XMPP is alright. But doesn't do calls last I checked.

Canada Revenue Agency targets artists for possible repayment of emergency benefits - The Globe and Mail
theglobeandmail.com/business/a

tl;dr: yet another group that Revenue Canada is targeting for supposedly not making enough money to qualify for emergency benefits meant to help people deal with being forced by their government to make no money at all...

In this case, a group of people that is having to pay taxes on income that somehow isn't income.

Dear Revenue Canada: 🖕

"President-elect Joe Biden is planning a $500,000 deep-clean of the White House, after Donald Trump’s inner circle went through multiple COVID-19 outbreaks in the fall."

The science is that SARS-CoV-2 is a fragile virus that becomes inactive after a day or two. So just waiting a weekend could save taxpayers half a million dollars.

Another Opus we're working on in c-lightning is dual-funding, so let's talk about that! This is Lisa's work, but I've been following along, and pushing to make it more general.

Today, you connect to a lightning node and open a channel, and you put all the funds in. This is simple, but it'd be better if you could both co-operate to construct a tx, especially if you could do it with multiple peers at once. This requires a generic coop construction protocol, which was fun to write...

Is there anything saunas can't do?

...well, get you to run your own instance I guess. But this can help: docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run

@benkaufman At my art school they had to institute a rule in performance art classes that performances weren't allowed to include vomiting until second year.

Yes, that was actually a problem that needed a solution.

Leeks are just onions that have gotten too close to a black hole and undergone spaghettification.
