@Lazer Having a fish tank is supposed to be about stress relief.

Zhora the fairground goldfish

I had a goldfish as a kid in elementary school in Alabama, obtained for free when I won it at a school fair. My family and I knew nothing about proper care of any fish - poor Zhora spent two years in a small round bowl with no filter and no heater, us not knowing any better than to change the water every week and feed him flakes daily. We actually thought he had a good life. Only years later when I happend to look into having an aquarium again did I realize how wrong we were and how miserable Zhora must have been. Here is what I (as a complete noob) think is a good overview of why it’s bad to give or receive “free goldfish” at fairgrounds.

I finally have two BrainRunners working on a DigitalOcean droplet, and one BrainHub on another droplet queueing and assigning tasks to the runners.

I’ve started this post maybe twenty times now, since before Christmas, and each time I keep putting it off, thinking “I’ll just blog when I have this next bit done.” But each “next bit” is followed by something else, and then something else, into infinity.
