Good luck with that. I don't think I would be able to focus on anything else.
Its my first new personal system in 10+ years and it my first really fast one in I don't know how long. I've got pretty much everything dialed in the way I like it now. ...but I've got games I couldn't play on my old PC to try and local agents to experiment with!
Sounds epic dude congratulations
Thanks!
New PC is fun. Did you build it?
Somewhat. I bought a kit bundle from a local shop. The shop pre-installed the motherboard, cpu, and liquid cooler. I had to install the drives, ram, graphics card, and install the OS.
Which OS?
linux
nice, which distro? cue the flame war
over the years i've used many. these for my workstation i run LMDE with Enlightenment. for my servers i use void or alpine, depending on what it runs. you?
my server runs ubuntu (headless). my favourite distro though is Zorin
one of the thing I've always liked about linux is that everyone can find what fits them best
oh absolutely. that's the beauty of FOSS. don't like something? change it.
you have a really cute kitchen! Kitties too, but Id cook happily in that kitchen!
Why is one cat on the counter?
What are you talking about there are two cats on the counter.
Oh, I didn't see the 2nd one.
Do the cats have assigned/consistent eating places, or is it just whoever gets to the bowl first?
They are assigned. They all chose their places and now they don't change. Not pictured is Hazel who gets locked in the basement. Otherwise she will inhale her food, steal everyone else's food, then throw it all up because she ate too fast.
one of my catties is the same! She's devour her food, then boots my other cat off his food and devour his. My other cat is a slow eater (as in, he usually doesn't finish his food before the next meal is due). I have to walk around the house and take his food to whatever room I'm in, so my old lass doesn't devour his food too. It's annoying, but I care about them both, so i make it work.
I have the exact same sweeper lol.
Tio estas multaj katoj.
My headphone amplifier started making a short buzz every 20 or 30 seconds, and it is driving me crazy.
Can you take it apart and diagnose it?
Probably, but it should still be under warranty. I will bring it back to the store.
I said probably, but actually probably not. It is a class D amplifier, so it is probably something buried in a integrated circuit.
My psychologist has recommended me to reach out online autism groups to counterbalance my negative experience while growing up with the concept of autism.
I'm deeply uncomfortable with identifying as neuro divergent but I do want to get assessed.
So, to help me, what are some positive things you can say about being ND?
Well at least we're not normal! Those normal people are weird.
I just wanted to say I love your cabinets!
I made some strawberry lemonade concentrate and chicken soup in the canner for mother. It's her birthday or mother's day or something around now.
I figured out another thing that makes my wrist hurt is canning. Lifting the quarts and stuff up is painful and the grabby tongs are breaking so. Sore wrist.
All the jars of chicken soup sealed which was a shock. They look ugly as fuck though. The stock is not clear because so much gelatin so it looks like water dirt with sediment at the bottom.
Tastes good though.
