Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Sure.

    But that’s limited to SATA 3 speeds. A “mere” 600 MB/s. Not to mention SATA SSDs often can’t sustain their theoretical maximums.

    USB3.2x2 can do 2500 MB/s, and with heatsinks on an NVME drive you can actually reach and sustain that transfer speed.

    When you’re moving more than 500 gigs of something, or if you move ISO sized things often, it’s really nice.

    When I occasionally have to write an ISO to usb for macOS or when ventoy for some reason wont work, I get annoyed at how I actually have to wait a bit, even though my thumbdrives aren’t slow.

    They’re just not NVME with a heatsink fast. I’ve gotten used to moving ISOs around like they’re text files.








  • I’m not sure on the answer myself, but you did get one thing wrong.

    Even the oldest, sickest pet will still make an effort to keep themselves alive however they can: eating, drinking water, moving out of the way of danger, etc.

    No, they won’t.

    Plenty of illnesses cause apathy, dehydration, or loss of appetite.

    Causes vary from pain so intense moving is unberable, or nausea so severe food is inedible. It can be mental, physical, easily treated, or incurable and eventually lethal.

    Either way, pets can and absolutely do choose inaction when miserable enough.









  • You can ignore this comment, OP. I’m sure you’ve heard all this before and already have practice.

    This is for everyone else.

    A cat can live a perfectly happy life without danger. Do not let them outside without a leash.

    “Outdoor” cats die earlier and are at greater risk of parasites and disease. That is a fact. Most animal shelters include a contractual obligation not to do what OP does in their adoption agreements. Violating this requirement would be considered animal abuse, and grounds for them to take the animal back for re-adoption.

    Transitioning an outdoor cat to indoor life can be difficult, but what OP does is not normal and should not be. No-one should let a pet outside unattended. And most people wouldn’t. But for some reson some people make an exception for cats. And only cats. This is a logical error.

    Animals are either wild or domestic. Not both.

    I’m pretty sure OP wouldn’t let a dog roam free, yet all the same logic for why that is so, applies to cats.

    The needs of a cat that are fulfilled by the outdoors, can be fulfilled indoors. Places to hide, surfaces to scratch, toys to play with, etc. If your cat is miserable indoors, that’s on you, not the nature of the animal.
