Google has slowly changed how it displays driving directions to limit routes to ones it thinks burn less fuel. When plugging in the drive to get to my parents it presents one option that uses a ferry. The directions treat the ferry like a bridge that you could use at any time, and it no longer presents alternate routes that use actual roads.
The ferry runs twice a day.

The easiest options (sci-fi book club, town rec classes) are indoors. A lot of outdoor options require an hour commute and aren’t super local to me. But I guess I can try harder.

I want to go out and start doing some sort of semi-organized social activities, but I also don’t really want to be in a room with 20 people for a couple hours because COVID cautious.
Socializing is hard. I am bad at it.

it’s extremely hard to find malicious code through regular QA and security testing. Although no one wants to hear that.
