What are your opinions on how Boris Johnson has handled the COVID-19 crisis?

What’s a safe way to discard a almost full can of lighter fluid that’s way past expiration date?

Just found in my closet a lighter fluid (butane) can which expired in 2017. I tried charging a lighter with it but I can’t get a flame (it was working before). I don’t suppose it’s going to explode but it doesn’t seem reasonable to just throw it in the trash. What should I do?

Alternatively, visit the repo.
password
has been updated to v1.1:- the game now starts after you press
[Space]
- you gain points for victories (score is not saved between reloads)
- UI is a little nicer
v1.2 planned features:
- adjustable difficulty, via either or both of password length and time per round
- zen mode: longer rounds, no score tracking, calmer UI
- persistent personal high score you can compete against
I almost feel like this is not worth an update, but people have been curious and supportive of the game.
You can see all planned features in the issues section. Suggestions on gameplay and visuals are welcome.
EDIT: updated hosted version to not reset score on loss (only resets when you start over).

Times are tough and isolation is getting to everybody, we've been playing some easy jackbox games with my friends on Google Hangouts, when the idea came to me: Why not start a DnD campaign? I've never ever played one, just watched some Youtube (Geek and Sundry, Mathew Colville), and definitely never though about hosting one until now.
After looking around, there are a lot of cool resources for running one, Roll20 seems to be the most popular and praised for ease of use. Rules are very well written into it and all the tools needed to deal with the mechanics are in. So technology-wise I think we're set.
Now I have a lot of questions on how to get an adventure running. Do I just get an official DnD guide book, do I just rip off the White Orchard level from Witcher 3 to start off or do I come up with some generic fantasy land? I'd like to run a small adventure in one night, just to get a taste of it and maybe branch it off later if everyone is up for it.
For characters I think it would be easier for me to come up with 8-10 pre-generated ones for a group of 4-5 people (with specific people in mind) to tailor it a little bit for my group, but still present some variety, while smoothing the learning curve and lowering the barrier to entry. Feels like a decent idea.
I'm still not sure where to start with this expansive world and I'd love to hear for seasoned DMs an players here on Tildes. How did you start your first game, what was the setting? How do I gently introduce players to mechanics? How do I deal with unpredictable situations?
And most importantly, how do I make sure everyone is having fun?
