This was last week. Barring the everpresent shrimp,  it was cool. 


First time in the Scandinavian peninsula, too. And so far the furthermost north I´ve ever been (the previous record holder was Belfast)

Mario Odyssey is pretty fun so far, but I'm very mildly upset about this anti bun agenda. Did ubisoft ruin the combination of nintendo + bunnies for everyone? Is that what happened?

What do you mean by ever present shrimp? At a hematology conference?

I'm wondering that too. Maybe he meant the food?

[ChairmanPoo]

Yeah. Too much seafood. Had to ask for specials to avoid it.

[Eric Blank]

That makes sense. I was wondering if you were trying to escape some scientific debate regarding shrimp blood or something.

I don't remember that line being in that reference you're making! But I do love that when checking my newbox, I can instantly discern the Happy thread!

Also tiny story!

Jumping spiders are so cool! I just saw one trying to capture an insect on a vertical surface (my door v:). Noticed it when busy doing chores and wishing goodbye to parents for work. There was an insect that was resting nearby and as I closed the door, I saw the spider scuttling along the door--it didn't presumably see the insect, so I guided it with my forearm. I loved seeing its awareness; the commonly cautious creature turned and regarded my sleeved arm and back up, before springing onto it and then catapulting off and back onto the door. Now more cautious, I used my arm to guide it to face the insect. I felt like I could see it recognizing the idle insect as it turned the tiniest bit, and approached its would-be prey. It failed in the end, but I loved seeing the caution: the testing-if-it-was seen by wiggling it's tiny leg; the cautious web line securing before the leap, and the slow crawl nearer to its prey. Also that leap and entanglement with the insect just getting away by a few (I somehow lost sight of it but saw the spider in place wiggling its frontal...err, fangs? Forgot the term).
Iloveit

Also sadly I wished I had my phone with me else I'd record it. But I didn't at that time!
Now I can feel in a way the excitement of those nature documentaries. Being non-intrusive and yet with all the power of observation and otherwise.

The jumping spider was probably waving its pedipalps rather than its fangs, you would be far more likely to see those moving. Jumping spiders are very good at recognising things like people but they still don't recognise a pillow as being a bad place to be, had to move a Zebra (jumping) spider from my bed a few days ago and thankfully they are easier to relocate than most other spiders which run away from the curtains/other surfaces when I try and put them somewhere safe.

THERE CANNOT BE ENOUGH SHRIMP

We celebrated midsummer eve yesterday. The main course was seven types of pickled herring and two types of salmon. And condiments (among them shrimp).

But I think what Chairman is referring to is specifically the ubiquitous Sandwich Cake, which in most variants contain, among other delicious things, shrimp and other seafood.

Now, this is just a wild shot in the dark, but you don't happen to be Norwegian, do you?

OK after I stopped dying from laughter there, I found that Doom 3 is like, 1$ on steam today.

If you haven't played what is now a horror classic, I highly recommend it.
