I sure asked for that, huh? Lol.

Probably not technically slang, and maybe not even technically British, but I hate the all variations of "whinge". I know it's a real word, but it always feels like someone misspelling "whine". I was well into adulthood when I finally learned that though, so those feelings are just so ingrained in me at this point.
Thanks for listening to me whine.
I'm a loser and made my own. I ran out of q-tips, so it's not perfect, but damn close.
This post inspired me to make my own. I started by laying 10 q-tips on the table, then another layer of 10 perpendicular, and kept going until I had 10 layers of each. In hind sight, I recommend doing 9x9, because the next step was to poke q-tips through the grid vertically, and that pushed the other layers around and some fell off. Once you have the 9x9x9 cube, you can fill in the edges to get 10x10x10. Note that the final cube will actually be a few short of exactly 10x10x10 due to the way the shapes hold together.
- 0°C is freezing
- 10°C is cold
- 20°C is comfortable. Roughly "room temperature"
- 30°C is warm/hot
- 40°C is fucking hot
Depending on a variety of factors, I generally like my space to be 18-22°C during waking hours, and maybe 16-20°C for sleeping.
I'm born and raised in the US, so I grew up on Fahrenheit, but switched my phone to Celsius about 10 years ago because I wanted to better understand the scale and have stuck with it ever since. I really don't need to know the exact temperature when I check the weather, just an estimate of whether I should dress for "hot", "cold", or "mild". One of the "tricks" I heard early on was similar: 0°C is freezing. 10°C is cold. 20°C is comfortable. 30°C is warm/hot. 40°C is fucking hot.
Wow, that's crazy! I foster with an organization that does a lot of TNR, so it's always great to see cats adapt to the luxuries of indoor life.
Oh wow! I'm currently fostering a litter with a colorpoint, and at 2 weeks she was just starting to show some hints of color. She's about 4 weeks now and her nose & ears still aren't that dark. This is her at about 2.5 weeks.
Aww! Is that a tipped ear? <3
The only communities that I still regularly browse on Reddit are the regional communities for the place I live currently and places I've lived previously. Those seem to have little to no activity around here. I no longer participate in them on Reddit, only lurk.
I believe I technically still have an account, but I have no clue what the password is, and I'm not about to give up more personal information just to delete it. I haven't used my FB account in years, and it was actually created for me by some friends back when Tinder still required a FB account.
There's also an IG account out there that I did create for myself more recently, but also haven't used in many years, and again, deleting the account feels like too much effort when I can just continue not using it.
I mostly try to avoid clicking any links to content on their platforms, but unfortunately a lot of people/businesses only exist on those platforms, plus some other volunteer work I do kinda requires it, so I do begrudgingly click them sometimes. Thankfully my closest friends have learned to send screenshots instead.
I could definitely see that! Was there a significant gap of time between when you first encountered that spelling vs. when you learned that it was a regional variation? I'm pretty sure the first time I came across "tyre", it was on an internet forum, and by the time I was reading the thread, there were arguments & explanations about it, so I learned immediately.
