Gonna make a run for it to the store to see if I can buy more rice before they sell out again.

I’m down to like a single serving of basmati. I have the Asian, I can’t live without rice!

I ain’t mentioned it before, but I’m getting that Animal Crossing game. What should I name my island?

PMQs being significantly empty (Tory MPs have been limited to order paper only, Labour have asked most to not turn up) makes the entire thing… really much more pleasant. It’s far less rowdy than normal.

Well this is a new one. Internet Explorer is ignoring half of the media queries I have on this page—it's literally rendering one half in in the mobile (default) styles and one half in the desktop styles.

Vertical alignment in CSS still eludes some, it seems.

Today’s government statement was basically “places should close and everyone should self-isolate, but we’re not gonna force you to” which is just… not really useful at all?

WHO: “You should introduce social distancing measures as soon as possible to stop spread.”

Downing St: “Nah.”

WHO: “You should test as many people as possible to understand the scale and spread.”

Downing St: “lol no”

🤦‍♀️️

If you're a fan of spreadsheets, I've been collating the daily coronavirus data dumps from the UK's various health orgs into a single sheet. Might be useful if you're doing things with data. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a3wBxPPuZd8w17FCvg-r3ug71nM7phSeR_ZoPksi52s/edit?usp=sharing

If, for some reason, you want to hear Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Rarity chastise you for making a bad comment on the internet, I made that. https://awoo.space/@kimpegasus/103827512748575682

So they updated that voice machine learning thing...

That the government in the UK continually insists that their actions are right and the actions of nearly every other country on Earth are wrong, really speaks of the ludicrous attitude of English exceptionalism they have going on.

Barring legislation proposed in the budget today, the government response to all this has been hella weak, honestly.

Bit rich of Matt Hancock to say the government is strictly following expert medical advice, but also sees the need to "correct" England's Deputy CMO's professional opinion.

And now he's said that people who are symptomatic but haven't knowingly been in contact with an infected person should call 111—which is the exact opposite of what the NHS 111 website advises you do.

Health Secretary statement basically boiled down to "We are going to fight the virus, but also we aren't changing anything" despite the current advice being roundly criticised as inadequate by several medical professionals. 🤔️

Thinking of redesigning my bat fursona a little. 🤔

Science has gone too far.

Is mine or their definition of these terms just way off? Or does the lexicon of the LGBTI+ community just ascribe totally different meanings to them?

I'd quite like some other views on this, if folks are willing to provide them.
