It's zero days till Christmas, because it's still Christmas for 10 more days.

Now I want to go play Cultist Simulator or Book of Hours. This list is also a list of the sorts of cards the games use to represent the narrative/puzzle you're playing through. Highly recommend.

Yeah, it's weird but hear me out. What they're referring to is a latte macchiato, which is the opposite of the traditional espresso machiatto you're familiar with. The word macchiato translates as "marked". So an espresso machiatto is an espresso that is marked (with milk), and a latte macchiato is milk with only a marking of espresso. Confusing if you've only heard of one of them, but it does make sense. A lot of Americans are only familiar with the latte macchiato, and major chain shops like Starbucks don't even know what an espresso macchiato is.

Yeah, that's true, but many people will wonder "Can I still be able to access the Microsoft from a Linux?"

Let's not get crazy here. These folks would need to know that if they go to a new OS, will is still run "the Microsoft" or "the Google"?

When asked to choose between convenience and security, a lot of people will choose convenience. Staying on the computer you already have as long as it seems to work fine is very convenient. I still occasionally see computers running Windows 7 for no reason other than that the owner can't be bothered to make a change.

The big worry is that most computers running Win10 don't meet the requirements to run 11. If they drop support for 10, then a huge number of computers that are functioning just fine suddenly start becoming increasingly less safe to use and the only fix is to throw them away.

This makes me want to learn the hurdy-gurdy even more! I mean, in reality, I'm never putting in the time to learn to play it anyway. So, in the fantasy of me being dedicated enough to learn to play an instrument, the added fantasy of me maintaining a finely tuned instrument is just added appeal.
