For the T8 fluorescent long tube replacement, I've seen LED direct replacement tubes being available for sale at Home Depot. Are those not a good option to consider at all?
For someone like me who is very unskilled in home maintenance / DIY, that certainly seems like the better option to pursue LOL~

If you can’t install a light you shouldn’t own a home.

Lol, true.
Changing a light fixture is just a matter of:
1. Turning off the breaker
2. Verifying that there is indeed no power going to the circuit
3. Removing the existing fixture (unscrewing the fixture and untwisting a few wires)
4. Repeat in reverse with new fixture
Watch a video, it's very straight forward.

Plus modern LED fixtures can do a better job at directing the light patterns, giving you better light performance.

Oh man. Just got an email an hour ago that our wedding photographer passed away. He was about our age.
We actually haven't even done the ceremony yet; still had our deposit with him. We were going to have our wedding in 2020, but then COVID dragged on and we got by on something temporary, thinking we'd do the full thing soon enough.
He had a wife and a kid. The wife had sent us the email letting us know.
I suppose it's another reminder to live our lives to the utmost, while we're still here.

We learned today that a friend of a friend died today literally coming back from a routine visit at Costco. Cause is unknown.

Facebook suggested a former director of my team as a friend last week. Looked at his profile, and he posted his wife passed away while they were on vacation the week prior.

"I hope you have a great day!" kinda stuff.
It's both sad and hilarious. Like, yo, actually go to their page and read the death announcement eh? Or see all the notes of the people saying how they are really missed.

Wellness check on skinny? I know Hong Kong isn’t small and likelihood he’s affected isn’t high, but wondering regardless.
