Well, presumably more than a few dozen light years away. A few dozen lightyears is nothing on a cosmic scale.

Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I’d heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.
Mayo clinic says yes though.
People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.
Ah, I could see that. It can be read either way, but I think the author intended it to be read this way. ‘Wow!’ As the reaction to the father’s statement that he won’t have to work if he does something he loves.
Yes how is the text supposed to for?
Interesting read. Thank you.
Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.
He sounds amazing.
I’m sorry for your loss.
A year doesn’t erase what they mean to us. My wife and I still get upset thinking of our Westie that passed two plus years back.
Do it! Plenty out there that could use the love, and it sounds like you’re ready!
We’re not ready. Could be a while for us to seek one out. Our Mr. Kitty adopted us, so of the same happens again, obviously then it’s meant to be. Otherwise, it’s too big a whole to fill.
Pets are amazing. Two weeks without my Mr. Kitty and I still hear and see him everywhere. Hope you feel better.
Red rocket, standing by.
"What is grief if not love perservering?’
Thank you. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.
Had to say goodbye to my cat this weekend.
The past month or so, he’d become very demanding for attention in the middle of the day, crawling all over the desk and nibbling at my hands if they were typing or using the mouse rather than loving on him.
Every day at almost the same time. And I gave him what he wanted every time.
My Monday would certainly be better if he was still doing it.
Goldeneye did allow this. Crazy. Hard to use other buttons though.
Yep. I found it fascinating. I think the version I had probably had a forward from Asimov talking about how we were wrong about guesses about Venus.
I don’t remember much else from the story except this, and the big reveal of the whodunnit. (Or more accurately the how).
There was a young adult sci fi series by Asimov called ‘Lucky Starr’ and I remember Venus was Oceanic in that one. Old old series.
Oh good. I was worried they were defenseless.
We had a Garden Spider for one summer on the corner of our porch.
She was so chill and we loved having her around. They often rebuild that beautiful web every night.
She laid a few sacs, but none of her children stuck in our yard, sadly.
Did some checking, out of curiosity.
And yeah. Interesting as hell.
We recorded 65 dBSPL (dB of sound pressure level) ultrasonic sounds 4 inches (10 cm) from tomato and tobacco plants, implying that these sounds could be detected by some organisms from up to several feet (meters) away.

Correct!
