Fallout New Vegas was also repetitive in many aspects, mainly because they had limited time and resued assets when they could. Still doesn't mean it's not a fantastic game

I understand the concerns in the USA, but where I live, burd flu seems to be pretty much a non-problem for now because of very strict controla and low volume of aviary farming.

300 dead cats in 20 years in 18 countries? I'm guessing that house fires kill more cats than that.

I don't knoe why people are obsesse with keeping cats inside. In a less urbanized area, they are perfectly safe staying outside.

At least if you install other apps you already have KDE. If you install another Flatpak, it's likely this will need another version of the KDE runtime, so it's 2.5 more GB for a 450kB application.

I'm not saying they are not killing birds, or mice, or small preys in general. Cats are predators and amongst the best. What I'm saying is that they are invasive only in places they never were in before human brought them (like Australia or small islands). In continental Eurasia (except areas where they are explicitly been controlled), they have always been there, and the environment is adapted to their presence and will not significantly suffer, not more than any other predator.

In my experience it highly depends on the cat. Some are perfectly content with proper scratchers and toys inside, some just visibly suffer staying inside, it might help we are far from the busy city with plenty of green and huntable animals, but most of our cats spend ~80% of time outdoor during summer and ~30% during winter.

"Outdoor cats" are just cats. They are not a domesticated species, hunting is their instinct, and should just not be introduced in places where they wreck havoc to the environment. Where they are endemic (Europe and continental Asia) they don't cause troubles to the ecosystem

Isn't data uncountable in english?

For being a country literally born out of a genocide, with a population that has been persecuted and killed multiple times in history in "self defense" by others, you would think they learnt their lesson and they knew how important peaceful cohabitation can be.

You know how they say: "you either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain"

The people who forgor are the ones actually believing the criminals. Some are criminals themselves, other are just morons

As many other said, milli and kilo are the prefix you are going to use 90% of the time, with the exception of centimeters. Food and beverage products are measured in kg, liters or milliliters, furnitures are measured in mm, cm or meters, distances are in meters or kilometers. Everything else is relatively uncommon. If you are not used to them you can still use some rough estimates, at least to get a sense of scale, but it's generally not used by people who learn it first.

For example, the width of a finger is a few centimeres, a bottle of water is usually 1 or 1.5 liters, a leg of an average male is around 1 meter long, a kilometer is how much you walk in 5 minutes, and so on.

As for the writing, the rules are quite simple: the base measurement is always in lowr case (m, g, l), you might see liter written as L instead of l but, while common, is technically wrong. For the modifiers, most are lower case, some are upper case to distinguish

1000 = kilo k 100 = hecta = h 1/10 = deci = d 1/100 = centi = c 1/1000 = milli = m 1000000 = mega = M

There are more specific rules for scientific units of measures, like if the abbreviation of the base unit is more than ine letter, the first is upper case (1 Pascal, the measure of pressure is 1 Pa instead of 1 pa), but if you don't work in STEM, you likely won't care.

There's a difference between "win without even trying" and "barely holding up"
