Another beautiful day today. I'll probably go for a longer run (hour+) in about 40 minutes.
Just had a practice phone conversation with the 3-year-old. Now she's going to be a "fixer" and work on the bike I have set up on an indoor trainer.
Whelp, the first US Senator to test positive for Covid-19 is Kentucky Republican Rand Paul. Sounds like he's asymptomatic and was only tested as a precaution- hopefully all members of Congress have been at this point, but I kind of doubt it.
Talked to my mom on the phone today for the first time in a while. She and my uncle returned from their road trip to Arizona to visit my sister a few days ago and are doing fine, but now it's a waiting game to make sure they didn't pick anything up during the trip.
Ordered an Amazon Fire Stick for our main TV. We've been using a Roku with it for a long time, but there's no FaceBook Watch app and that's the streaming platform our church is using to broadcast mass. $25 for a more powerful device and an intact remote1 seems like a steal.
Kids! 🙄
@jws I've had much better luck with ceiling lights with integrated LEDs that are not designed for replacement. The ones I put in my kids' bedrooms when we moved into this house are 5-years-old and going strong.

@matigo The ones designed as replacements for conventional screw-in lightbulbs have driver circuitry in their base that can get quite warm (but not conventional light bulb hot), and they often overheat in fixtures without any airflow.
Sitting in the dark once again because the LED bulb in my office's light fixture flakes out and dims periodically (too hot?). I should probably just take off the glass cover and see if the problem goes away (done).
@variablepulserate I think it'd probably be simpler to just have a lower upper bound on what gets the max activity color and go from there. In fact I'd probably just do thresholds along the lines of 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 posts to step from black to lightest gray.
