COVID-19 is going to wreck economies. We are all thinking that closures and social distancing will end in a month, maybe two. This process will unfold over many months, perhaps years. Every city and country is handling this differently. We

I've been using Riot.im/Matrix and been liking it so far. Matrix is FOSS. The UI is a bit confusing but I'm sure I'll get over this soon.

My son and I love building lego together, especially the robotic type, but I often worry about the tremendous amounts of plastic waste being created with every lego sold. I guess it pales in comparison to plastic bottles, but still. We are

Thanks for the feedback. Is anyone providing curated go bags? How does a go bag fit within the context of hunkering down at home in an emergency without power, water, etc? This is more the scenario I was envisioning.
