Maple Bugs All Over The Place

 We call these Maple Bugs. They have infested all of Saskatchewan and are literally everywhere in great numbers. Regina and Saskatoon are way worse than Moose Jaw though. I mean it's biblical there.
 Above you see them getting into the walls of my building to stay warm for the winter. On the right you see one in the hall of my building. I have stubbed and tossed maybe 40 of them in the toilet in the last 2 days from my apartment.
Smooshing them seems to attract more of the fecking things, so it's best to just vacuum them up and dump them outside. But I don't want to be forever getting the vacuum out so in the toilet the go for me.

Unfortunately, there are so many of them in here that you can't avoid stepping on them in the hall or entry way - the entry is way worse.

As well they seem to have some strange attraction to my chair I use for my desk. Half of them in here seem to go right for it for some reason.

In my life I have not seen as many as this year. But as I say Moose Jaw seems to be lucky in comparison. I've seen photos from Regina where hundreds of thousands of them are piled up on trash cans and walking paths. But they really do like my brick building and are wintering in the walls.

One of the dang things ended up in my coffee yesterday and I got kind of pissy about that. You don't mess with my coffee! Anyway I hope they are gone for the winter soon. I'm very tired of weeing them right now.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
