It's really bad for people working hospitality on working holiday visas in Sydney, their dodgy employers and landlords are really loving them over. NVJ has a job as a super spreader, he'll come to your house and spread whatever you need on toast for you. Pity Tom Hanks didn't hire him in time!

I'm going to start off by saying I've never been to your country and the only thing I know about the collective "you" is what I've seen on TV (mainly the fires and sport) and what I've read on Reddit. I respect the way Australia handled the brushfire epidemic at the beginning of the year. You took everybody's help without stride. You weren't pompous at all. You cared about the small cities just as much as the large. You were saddened and expressed your sadness when Australians and foreigners died helping you. You also know how important sport is to the well being and normalcy of the people and have done everything in your power to keep it safe and still go on despite your indifference between which is the "real" footy (NRL and AFL). (I'm sorry, but I think this is an important thing as shallow some people might think it to be - I might be wrong). You are a small country comparatively (population wise) but you stick together. You're a part of this world in every way. And you make it known. Basically, I want you to know, that most Americans care about you, and understand what you're going through just as much as we are. Stay safe and know that most of this world are thinking about you. From what you see, Americans are a selfish people, but I want you to know that most of us do not align with what we seem to be. Most of us are caring people that want you to get through this as much as we do. The southern hemisphere (in my opinion - again, I might be wrong how you think of us) is known as just as important as we Northeners are. I might be rambling on, but I just wanted to say: stay safe down there, we've got your back. https://reddit.com/r/australia/comments/fl63xa/an_open_letter_to_australians_from_an_american/ .

I'm work from home effective Monday as well as the 2 other software developers in the office. Myself and our lead engineer both have nueses for wives and mine's in ICU so the company is rightly concerned about us being transmission vectors. Everyone else in the office lives around the corner, so if it's non-essential to show up you don't.

I did a trial WFH day yesterday, we're only a small studio but it's VFX so there's large amounts of data and lots of different software and pipeline issues. Went pretty well cos our IT guy is very competent but mentally I don't really like it. My bike commutes to the office are part of my exercise regime and they separate work brain from home brain really nicely. If it comes to it I have no doubt I'd adapt but I wouldn't do it by choice.

Was just at the butcher's and they said they had to make a second lot of sausages yesterday because they sold out. IGA had no paper products and there was no sugar or flour on the shelves either. They still had plenty of fresh fruit and veggies and they don't seem to have restricted frozen veggies yet.

I already work from home two days a week to help get the kids to school/kinder so it hasn't been much adjustment to make it full time. The office hasn't closed yet but the option was given for everyone who can to work at home and the majority have taken it. I've worked from home full time before so it isn't a huge mental adjustment. That said when I took this job many years ago I was happy to be back in an office environment. So far people are making an effort to get on video calls etc rather than just email/chat which helps with feeling connected.

Yeah I’m finding making the mental adjustment to working from home kinda difficult. I find it’s hard to focus and be as productive as I would at the office, like my brain just refuses to shift fully into “work mode”. I’ve tried to remove as much distraction as possible from my surroundings but it’s kinda hard in a one bedroom apartment.Im thinking next week I’m gonna start going to the office again just so I can get some poo poo done

Yep I would do something like that, it didn't help that my wife had a day off so we were both home and it felt like a weekend. One thing that fried my brain was 8 hours of navigating between network storage at work over VPN and the mirrored project structure set up at home, I lost track of which mapped drives were remote and half the time I was remote desktop-ing into my work machine and flicking between desktops. At one point the IT guy was RDing from his home computer to his work computer and tightVNC-ing from that onto my home machine to take control of my mouse to set stuff up and then he RDed into my work machine from my home machine to show me how that works. desktop'ception

Reclaiming public space for community gardens is something that is likely to become a very real battleground if the consumer economy tanks 10% as badly as the cspam wanks are jerking off fantasising about. I doubt the supply chain is gonna gently caress itself in a society crippling way but ultimately things are gonna be real tight, previously maintained public spaces are gonna be neglected as local govs feel the squeeze and people are gonna start looking at their overgrown sidewalks, median strips and parks and wonder what they can do with those spaces that’s more productive than just getting a sweet urban snake and rat population going
