It is known in Germany, “Eulen nach Athen tragen”. I’ve heard the explanation that the currency of Athens in antiquity had owl on one side.

Yeah, there is, not by chance, a “story” in “history”. It needs to be told, by somebody who knows how to do that. Learning facts from old books, the studying, is one part, weaving them into a whole, the telling, the other.
I share the same sentiment. Grabbed a laptop last week to be able to wfh somewhere else and entertain myself too, and to try if I couldn’t get gaming to work on Linux, and had that feeling of curiosity back about what is new and how everything works. The feeling was lost sometime after Windows 7, and replaced with a slight feeling of dread about where everything got misplaced in this newest shiniest iteration of Windows.
Couldn’t be happier with fiddling with distros!
Watched a bunch of tits (the other tits) romping about the hazel bush, they were hilarious.
To those who don’t know, Italians can be super particular about what pasta goes with which condiment. If the recipe says linguine, it’s linguine or you can’t cook the dish. Spaghetti aren’t acceptable.
Also if you sit with some Italians and want to troll them ask them what they think about farfalle (the bowties) and watch the show, most are super opinionated as well.
Easy, make a gene drive for a recessive gene that causes infertility, problem solved.
I switched my main gaming computer to Mint after testing it on a laptop. Being away from Windows is awesome. You know how everything always wants your attention on Windows? Your antivirus proudly announces its existence. Windows wants to know if it should remove some printers? Some PDF software needs updated RIGHT NOW. There’s a license change please acknowledge this 20 page document. Animated attention grabbing everywhere. I always think FUCK OFF when presented with this bullshit.
You know what - Mint doesn’t do that. I’ve not been internally shouting at my own computer since I went that way.
It is serene.
