A cat's ears are second only to those of a bat. They can jump into the air without seeing anything, using the bat's 'sonar' to locate it.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

That high-pitched, barely audible noise they make when they fly still creeps me the f*** out.

And that is why we no longer have cat(s). Oz has an incredible problem with wild cats who are creating havoc with the local wildlife. The wild dogs seem to like larger, domesticated prey.

once there was an endless expanse of something/nothing - emanation from a force unknown to us.
then that something/nothing was divided.
the division of that something/nothing created our reality.
dividing night from day, earth from sky, energy from matter.
an entire creation through division.
we divide too.
citizen from immigrant
gay from straight
crazy from sane.
happy from sad.
this division is pervasive. We create divisions all the time in little and sometimes big ways.
and they reentangle becoming one again.
the whole of existence a wonderful dance of separation and union, the vibrations of which carve out the dollhouse of reality we find ourselves in.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I divide my if statements and the code it should run with braces, you should try it sometime

braces are an illusion - what matters is right in front of you.

Do you mean literally?
Like my keyboard and monitor are what matter to me?
Or is it more figuratively, like your message is in front of me so you matter to me?
People here are beginning to say strange things, like us flirting and moving in together so I don't know what to believe anymore 
I'm not joining the Area 51 raid so whoever's going to set you free, it won't be me.

Something like that. But also to a lesser extent, your k/b and monitor. Where would you be without them?

Who says I want to be freed? Maybe they have cake.

Some things need to be unsaid a certain way to see the shape that casts the shadow:
we conspired to create a virtual reality,
to build a nest of misunderstanding with
fragments of false memories, bits of woe
and joy veneered with faux rainbow shiny
oh, the beauty of our first egg, mottled
with fires of iridescent gems: a perfect
echo of imperfections erased in a mirror
of self-delusion's simulations of sanity
in this unpixelated bliss we conjured: a,
subject-object dichotomy gave us giggles;
half-dead, half-alive, cats serenaded us
with fugues of quantum entangled screech
ah, wondrous eternity when our first egg
hatches, and, we are chicky's first meal "our first egg," a sonnet: published under the terms of CPOPL (Code Project Open Poetic License) © 2019, Bill Woodruff

After all those complained about W10, I just got the sentence to prepare for it on my work computer...
I understand that not everybody had the bad experience, just that I have no way to know on which side I will land...
I was asking to install Fedora with W10 in VM, but they turned me down...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

where I work we don't have much problems, we mainly have HP Z240 desktops with NVME ssd's. Very rarely my Dell Ultrasharp screen turns black, but unplugging and plugging it in again helps.

That's my hope too - I have a HP Elitedesk, that should be well supported...

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much. I have access to a total of 10 computers at work and home, all except one running Windows 10 (some Home, some Pro). None of them have had any problems that were traced to the O/S.
I suspect that many (most?) of the problems are dues to either faulty hardware or bad drivers. You know, the same things that caused problems with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4, 2000, XT, 7, 8.x …
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

The hardware is perfect...
My real concern are the drivers - missing drivers, that is...
Hope HP will provide them as promised...
