Isaac Asimov is considered one of the greats of 20th century science fiction. Again, while most famous for writing science fiction he wrote much more than just that.

Isaac Asimov has won scores of Hugo Awards for stories and for Best Editor; dozens of Nebula Awards; several World Fantasy Awards; over a dozen Theodore Sturgeon Awards and Homer Awards; and multiple Sidewise Awards1. He has won Hugo Awards for Best Related Work, Best Novelette, and Best Editor.

He wrote 40 novels and a lot of short stories, and is a great read almost always. He also wrote textbooks because he was just amazing.

Yes, and the idea of spotting a rare fanciful cow while cowatching.

Abby… Normal?

Correct!

Nah, that’s more related to the episode named ‘Lower Decks’ I think.

Interesting read. Thank you.

Wife and I watched through it for the first time last month.

We watched it for the second time last month as well.

Actually, we started our third watch last night.

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.

What a donut.

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!
