Weed Bingo.
I am currently overthinking the shit out of a reimagined way to play BINGO.
The first version is simply called BONGI. The I and O columns are swapped, with O taking on numbers 16-30, and I taking on numbers 61-75.
Everyone plays with a bong and a strain of weed they like. If you get a BONGI, you get to take a big rip from your bong. If the caller calls numbers from the B, O, N, and G columns in succession (eg: B4, O16, N38, G64), everyone can take a rip from their bong, with or without having those numbers.
If the caller calls B4, O20 in sequence, someone must call "Smoke Weed Everyday." If they do, everyone can have a hit.
One can also call it for O16, O20 called in sequence, because 24 hour to 12 hour conversion. ;)
Play on a board continues until a number equal to half the number of boards in play (minimum) have called a BONGI. Players may have a maximum of three boards in play at once. When a BONGI is called on a board, it is pulled from play, to allow a greater chance for everyone to have a toke.
There were variants for those of us who prefer smoking joints, with modified rules and the ability to hit your joint every time you match a number in the J column (after all, it's called JOINT) replacing the BONG rule.
Haven't worked out DABIT yet: I've never dabbed.
Okay. I think I will do the smart mirror project, after all.
I already have an acrylic sheet that could take a piece of mirror effect static cling sheeting, which should give me the mirror effect I needwant. I already have an LCD panel with an HDMI breakout.
I also have an old Dell monitor that could possibly be used in a similar manner, so I could make two of these with appropriate cabling, though I would rather just recycle that one.
As much as making a luggable PlayStation Classic would amuse me, I would have more utility out of the smart mirror as long as I can read my glucometer's trending data and the weight from my scale. I don't have to interact with it on the monitor. I just need to be able to visually see the trends.
Since I'm in a bit of gastric distress, I'm sitting here, thinking about building a smart mirror.
It's one of three things I can choose to do with the display panel I've taken out of this old laptop.
Another is to build up a PlayStation Classic with the battery pack I bought. Something that would transform it into an easily luggable game console. I would need to figure out a power button solution for the PSC though, and that's the most difficult part. The display already has a breakout for the power switch.
Last, I could just work out a case for the display, and make it available to other hardware. It'd be the easiest, especially if I can replicate the build easily each time I locate cheap laptops.

Okay. I got a few sex toys in the mail through a pair of vendors that have Twitter accounts.
The last couple of days have been filled with orgasms.
The penis pump leaves my head super sensitive, which sets me off easily.
The vibrators, I dual wield. One on each side, and it sets me off with minimal work, once I work out vibrator positioning.
... my legs are still shaking five minutes later. >.>;
Lewd pseudomedical silliness.
My brain fixated on this odd idea of a treatment that allows you to produce voluminous amounts of ejaculate in exchange for your body fat.
You'd take this nanite-enhanced medicine at least fifteen minutes before you ejaculate, and it goes to work, converting body fat, especially visceral fat and plaque first, to seminal fluids.
Side effects would include temporary pseudoelephantiasis of the scrotum that usually resolves itself in 4 to 6 hours, increased metabolism, increased sexual appetite, increased thirst.
It would be recommended primarily to people who are significantly overweight, who have tried diet and exercise, various weight loss medicines, and are candidates for surgical weight loss modifications.

Ramble-rant about phone insurance (cw: language?)
You know it's kinda fucky-wucky that this phone insurance is damn near encouraging me to drop my phone without a case on so that I could file a claim.
Dropping the phone several times during this pandemic with the case ON or with the mod battery on has caused internal damage, though. But because it's not cracked and obviously going to hell, Assurine has no interest in replacing the device.
And at this rate, I have no interest in paying them for insurance.
Fuckholes.
Hm. I need to buy tools to work on my Citycoco scooter.
Think I have a slightly warped rear rotor, though it would be a good idea to probably loosen the caliper assembly, squeeze the brake, and tighten it down to get it centered on the rotor before trying to use a rotor tool to straighten things.
I just need a socket wrench to make getting these 10mm nuts loosened easier.
And that means booking a ride over to the local Harbor Freight for tomorrow to pick up stuff that I could use to work on the rest of the scooter in general.
Sure, I could call a taxi or hail a rideshare to get over there today, while I have the urge to actually work on the scooter, but it's money that I was wanting to not spend if I don't have to, and our paratransit service currently operates at no cost.
Just have to hope the call center is even open today for bookings for tomorrow because I just realized today is a bank holiday.

Housemate of mine made a fantastic suggestion to me yesteray afternoon. Tells me to call the local employment office.
I questioned it, because they normally help with job searches. She tells me they have enhanced powers right now and can assist with claims.
Since I couldn't get through on the state number this morning and still didn't know what's wrong with my claim, I called the local office.
5 minutes on hold, and in 44 seconds the first person on the call saw the issue, had it queued for a fix, and let me know someone will review and call back with a resolution.
5 minutes later, my phone rings.
Really nice and friendly guy came on the line, confirmed it was just a simple issue with a return to work date, threw a hammer at it and says it's sorted, I should be fine, if I have issues, call the local office, NOT the state office.
... It was amazing.

I cycle, ride an electric scooter, or take public transit just about everywhere; why drive an inefficiently designed car when you don't have to?
