Up until my mid-teens I ate almost all the same thing, but then I made a decision to try to be open to trying to eat new things and never stopped.

We've had a few fat cats... I've never seen something like that on cats (other than abscesses). The only way I could see two bilateral abscesses like that would be from some other cat digging its claws in from behind, but given the time since it has been on the street that doesn't seem likely. If you can afford it, I'd get it checked out now rather than later.

I think Holtec mostly just makes storage containers for spent fuel. They're not exactly simple, but orders of magnitude less complex than running a plant.

While a ship, the Lexx was primarily designed as a weapon that could destroy planets, so I'll go for The Lexx.

Usually one of the Star Trek series; currently DS9.

Not really; only when somebody uses peertube to share a video

I just recently joined Lemmy; never had a redditt account. Have been using Mastodon for quite a few years now; only ever dabbled in twitter. I like that the fedi stuff seems more organic and less manipulated by algorithms, although, that also makes it easy to miss stuff as well. Still getting a feel for Lemmy and discovering interesting communities. My ultimate social platform was Google Reader (still miss my sharebros/gals. My primary social media after the demise of GR was the comment section, BBS, of BoingBoing -- we had a mass departure after the publisher did some petty bans (started our own discourse instance)

Our Atlanta, GA location has snow days when Atlanta gets more than a few cm of snow...

THIS! I recall somebody doing contract review and having AI summarize the contracts just to see how well they did... The AI left out some really important stuff and also occasionally hallucinated stuff that wasn't there. Summarizing a contract should be pretty black-n-white -- if AI can't handle that properly, I'm not going to trust its summary of something more complex.

Don't be Afraid of the Dark (1973) scared the crap out of young me... The little creatures lurking in the dark and dragging them away. My older sister reinforcing the fear with stories/teasing didn't help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Be_Afraid_of_the_Dark_(1973_film) I'm sure it would be laughable now, but my sister really knew how to push my buttons.
