@shellsharks lol that's just the infosec part of the day (yes, I see livestock cages as an info security issue: raccoons are smart!)

@shellsharks Trying to convince an executive director to update system OS, accept that email is Not Private thankyouverymuch, and that legacy software is sunset for security reasons. Also that friends don't let friends use Outlook on macOS, but will probably fail in that.

Before that I have to find out why a set of 6 keyboard keys don't work... but only in one user account, FFS.

After 'work' I have to rapidly assemble some kind of chicken tractor, because the abandoned rabbit we wound up fostering just birthed a litter and now we need a reasonable but secure temporary hutch, grrr.

@Parzival @shellsharks You will probably enjoy Asimov's "The Last Question", a short must-read: http://www.thelastquestion.net

Also: a slightly tangential but similarly hearty recommendation for Egan's novel Quarantine.
