@Queen_City_Nerd Awwwww. That's the sweetest thing I've heard in a long time, and a great way to think back on fond memories with your bird.

@zetamacs Apologies :) I looked it up and familiarized myself with Old Norse. That's when i realized that there are countless Old Norse words which sound way worse than Jörmungandr. I'm starting to like the mythical Jörmungandr who could shapeshift into a cat.

I give you... the Lack Ness. All my home machines are named after mythical sea creatures. Here you have Kraken (the Cisco switch) and Jormungandr (A Thinkserver T460 in a Rosewill enclosure). Since Ikea no longer makes these with solid legs, they are bolted all the way through the Lack table legs. A headache, to be sure, but very sturdy. There's the hard part over. Time to 3D print some rack mount enclosures.
