My previous cat was the opposite. She liked organic, grass fed ground beef, but only raw. If I offered a piece even slightly cooked, she gave me a glare that screamed "What did you do to that? How could you ruin it like that!" and would march off in a huff.

I'm this old.

Rigged or not, I think "Don’t worry about them just vote." is excellent advice.

I'm a conlanger, so I would just handwrite my notes in my own language and script, and be coining new words as needed. And doodling. Got me through lots of meetings and trainings.

We have 3 cats. 14 year old male snuggle buddy who acts like he's lord of the manor but the two girl cats push him around and do what they want. Got him when we bought a mobile home for my mom and he was part of the package. 3 year old female, fluffy gorgeous diva with a purr like a puma. A coworker's cats made unexpected kittens and she had one extra, and we had lost a cat to cancer a few months earlier, leaving his lordship in a deep depression. She rejuvenated him and they're BFFs now. 2 year old female, orange, another cuddler, devoted to me because I snuggled and comforted her when she was a 3 week old abandoned kitten with a respiratory infection that our daughter-in-law who works at an animal shelter was caring for at home for the weekend while we were visiting. When the kitten got to 12 weeks we adopted her. The little squirt was so happy to see me again she literally jumped into my arms and snuggled up on my shoulder. Amazingly all three get along great, too, which is a real blessing.

My first computer. I'm this old.

Yeah, Lemmy and Mastodon only for me too.

It's a couple decades old I think but you should check out Tru Calling. Cries for help from dead people in the morgue pop Tru back to the beginning of the day so she can try to prevent their deaths.

As a linguaphile and a conlanger I absolutely love how that parses out. Well done, Finnish.

Conlanging - the art of creating tongues. https://library.conlang.org/about/conlanger.html

Currently my primary laptop is on LMDE and my secondary laptop is on GhostBSD just because I wanted to try out BSD. I'm thinking of taking a third laptop and putting EndeavourOS on it. That was my primary OS until an update blew up the EFI partition and I read "yeah, that happens sometimes" and decided my primary system should be a bit more stable than that. But I did really like EndeavourOS other than that. I have an old notebook PC I've thought about putting Haiku-OS on just for fun, if I can figure out what I did with the power cord for it.

Sorry, missed this question until now. Conlang is short for constructed language, as in a language intentionally created by one or more people, as opposed to a natlang, i.e. natural language, which evolves slowly as a group of people just speak it without intentionally designing it. English, Turkish, Nepali, and Vietnamese are all examples of natlangs. Klingon, Na'vi, Sindarin, and Esperanto are examples of well known conlangs. But there are thousands of us who also just work on our own languages, for a variety of reasons, such as needing one for a fictional world we're developing, or wanting to experiment with some grammatical feature that interests us, or just for our own personal use and enjoyment. I'm one of that last group.

There's also an Albany in Vermont, for what it's worth. Very small town, but it's there.
