The temporarily needless travel budget has been used for an upgrade to a 10G home 'data centre'. I have to be careful not to become a switch & server hugger. :-)

Bung:
Eva888: First Lockdown bought 20kg of flour to accompany the other 2x5kg already in the pantry, 1 kg yeast, had various jars of sourdough starter bubbling on the bench tops because that’s what the world prescribed. Baked ONE loaf of bread and 6 pitta breads since March 23rd. I have enough food not only for another lockdown but for a nuclear winter caused by an Earth-directed CME

Unless you have other uses for flour other than bread making even 2 x 5kg was too much. It doesn't stay in top condition forever. Worst case you'll end up with it full of weevils.

Too late I learned that the flour was special for chapattis and not quite suitable for bread. It was stone ground flour in which case the weevil population would be hardly noticeable in 'protein' packed scones.

That does it...it’s going on the garden. I can spread it while wearing my devilishly elegant orphaned sock mask.

Being able to play video games while attending (virtually) incredibly boring compliance training. In person I'd have to pretend to pay attention.

Alt-Tab during long conference calls has never been so useful...

Smart. Avoids any awkward scenes during hasty desktop sharing ....

Friend of mine did a (remote) conference presentation in pyjamas a few years ago. I want to try the same thing next month just for yucks. The only risk is that if for any reason the camera slips...
