Now would be a real good time to manufacture N95 respirators (face masks) in the USA, from USA sourced componants, instead of off shoring production to, say, China. Just saying.

I just tried oatmilk for the first time. I may like it better than soymilk.

These Fire tablets from Amazon are not half bad if you are on a budget. Since they are using a forked version of Android I assume they are not phoning in all your activities to Google. Sure Amazon tracks you but for me I buy everything from them anyway.
