Canada should join with Norway and start a sane petroleum exporting country organization. Scotland too after Scotland leaves the UK.

Call it NOPEC.

So, I'm going for a little walk in my local WalMart. Not shopping mind you, just walking for the exercise. Anyway, I'm walking by the sporting goods department and I notice a product that is labeled "Worm Food". My first thought on seeing that is aren't we all?

Is there something seriously wrong with me for thinking that?

It might be time to practice whatever self care you need to engage in, in order to not fall into despair.

Oddly enough, there was no element of despair or gloom accompanying that thought (and that may just make the thought all the weirder), just the realization that we are all worm food. That, of course, is not all we are and the fact that we are worm food does not in anyway detract from whatever else we may be. For some people it may even add a positive to note to their existence. I mean, being worm food is something that is useful and for some that may provide a sense of purpose and meaning that is missing in their lives.

Absence of feeling things (I recognize that's not what you just said) is also a possible sign of depression. I suppose I'm just saying, take care of yourself. :optimist:

Anyway, it would be stuff written by Allie Brosh that had me perk up:
This, in particular, where she describes the deadening of emotion: Hyperbole and a Half

Neko Atsume cat collecting phone game being made into a live-action movie

Little Miss JoeP has played this game. But she can't think any more than I can how it would be made into a movie.

Not that that has stopped many other adaptations. :legoman:

My laptop fan was making a grinding noise so I figured the bearings were shot, and replaced it for $4. Then I was bored so I stripped apart an old USB cable and spliced it to the old fan, which quit making the grinding noise, so maybe it was just some junk in the fan or something.

Anyway, now I have this USB cable with a fan on the end. What should I cool with it?

If you fit it underneath a hole in the base of a paper or cardboard tray with sufficient area, then you can turn the tray over and use it as a hovercraft which will glide without friction over smooth surfaces.

You may find that one of the larger disposable paper or plastic plates that you get at buffets makes a large enough hovercraft to suit a smallish fan.

I think the app must be using some kind of telepathic interface for it to get my water slide and string bean drawings.

Based on the way it works, it guesses until it gets the right answer.

But it has an incentive to guess string bean even if it can't tell yet. It would just be the most likely guess at that time, and there's no cost to guessing early.

If it only got to make one guess, then it would have to wait longer before guessing.

If you click the drawings at the end it will give you the top three guesses for each image with a sample drawing.

Given it probably has a limited object space (instead of every object in existence) it can pick string bean from a squiggle in part because the squiggle both fits string bean and *doesnt* fit any of its other objects.
