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.

Thanks, I'm leaning towards getting started with Linux and then investigating options from there. The opensuse someone else recommended also looks interesting.

Thanks. I've heard of the bootloader issue so I was planning on separate drives for Linux vs windows.

I love powershell, so I'm not afraid of the CLI, but it is daunting.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I meant to add... very long term goal if I get comfortable enough would be to maybe even try to convert my wife... but photoshop/Adobe Creative suite is a must have... how is that on Linux these days? Would this affect what distro I should aim for in that instance?

Did you try others before settling on Pop OS? Is there a largest reason it worked best for you?

Thanks, haven't heard of this one, looking into it now.

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.

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

Same. Would like answers.

Oh, the puppies would love that.

Saying 'nu-uh... you are....' is right up his alley.

The worst is when you do this, and the act of saying "What?" Ends up knocking the stuck process loose and the sentence comes through just as they start to repeat it.

'What?"

"OH, I said tha"

"Ah, got it."

Good analogy though.

First time I ever saw a group of Bluejays get loud and constantly cawing... I eventually found that they were following a water snake down the creek and were giving warning calls. Pretty cool.
