Being certain about it might probably help you make sense of your past and present, also plan somewhat for the future.

Are you still using the original HDD it came with, or did you change it? I have an old All-in-one, 2012 Celeron with 2GB RAM which was supposed to be my nephew's first computer, I installed Xubuntu 18 on it, everything works fine, even some online video watching, but dear lord the R/W speeds are atrociously low, which makes starting up any program a small test of patience.

I wonder if ancient Middle Eastern (pre-islamic) mythologies not being widely known in the eurocentric bubble has more to do with translation difficulties or just a snob view of the "other"; Persian empires had extensive written records (except for the Parthians)

As a Brazilian, I'm deeply ashamed that I never learned about that or frankly any other native mythology (Guarani, Tupi, Yanomami, etc)

Pretty much every place where humans lived on for any period of time has had a devastating flood event, so it's a "no brainer" when you think about it, much like how most (every?) ancient religions saw Sol and Luna as some sort of god/dess

When you're poor, you already do 3-5 and 2 is usually taking a bus or walking anywhere.

English exists to spite everyone

Side effect of being the bastard, often beaten child of French and Germanic languages

I wish people would just give away good stuff like that where I live
