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.

Of Mortal Kombat Konquest fame…

Goldeneye did allow this. Crazy. Hard to use other buttons though.

Perhaps your award was the friends you made all along…

If you’re still using live journal in 2024, you should win SOMETHING.

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.

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.

Did some searching. The paper from 2019 that discussed this -

Same. Would like answers.

Saying ‘nu-uh… you are…’ is right up his alley.

Is it your comic? If so, good job.

I consider myself to have a decent vocabulary, but I would not have gotten sinuous’ definition correct.

Harbinger I knew, but it’s nice to see In a positive example.

The other two were new to me.

And the next sentence is ‘That is a lie.’

Is this calling the claim of his bad couch loving a lie, or his previous sentence where he denied it?

With how it’s worded, it could even imply that he did reach completion, just that he was too selfish to help the couch get there.

Lol

Ah, but we’ve known for a while we’re not in the prime timeline.

I dunno if I’d say definitely. I don’t really doubt Q’s ability to pinpoint an appropriate spot in time and space, so it seems reasonable that he would actually take him there rather than just try to find a spot in space time that seems good enough to lie about it.
