I was curious and started reading into it, apparently the ancient Egyptians used to call electric fish (as they hadn’t discovered electric eels by that point) “Thunderer of the Nile”

My father has a service dog through Paws for Purple Hearts/Bergin and one of the early commands they are taught is a release command that is for these kinds of situations. My father only really uses it for kids that are enamored with his dog but there are the rare situations where it is appropriate to ask if you can say hi.

I played with this a bit in QEMU and I really enjoy the concept but am personally holding off on installing it to bare metal until the Debian rebase comes out. I haven’t used Ubuntu in quite a long time but an interim release sounds especially bad to base an immutable OS on.

I’m liking it but some of the gameplay changes are a little jarring after having played through the original hundreds of times over the years. The only one I really wish I could toggle off is the barrels exploding after a short timer, it’s bit me in the butt a few times and even helped when I managed to somehow make a barrel launch across a room and kill some strogg when the one next to it went off.

It really sounds like you gave him a great life that nobody else would have. Without you they would have died a feral cat only knowing struggle within the unending fight for food and warmth. With you they got to know love and got to leave all that struggle behind. You did good.

Sorry if this is off-topic but one thing to keep in mind when obtaining torrents through any of the debrid type services is that they do not seed back. I’ve tested both alldebrid and real-debrid in the past year or so and they immediately hop off the swarm as soon as they are done downloading.

I understand that they let you avoid getting copyright notices and have used them in the past for that reason. An alternative that would be much better for the community and still allow you to avoid copyright notices would be using a VPN that allows port forwarding with a torrent client like qbittorrent that can be configured to only communicate through the VPN connection. I recommend seeding back for as long as you can but 24 hours or until you hit a 1.0 ratio isn’t horrible for keeping public torrents alive.
