My heart goes out to you, internet stranger. My partner lives with chronic pain too. I don't directly understand, but I see it. I see you, and hear you. There's great advice all over these replies. I can't really add to that. But I wanted you to know that I would lighten your burden if I could.

That last sentence hits like being trapped all alone in an empty apple store at night and it's slowly filling with tepid water.

Yeah that paper is science fiction. It's a very fun read though.

This comet isn't emitting any radio transmissions. Radio silence stealth spacecraft! (Or, ya know, it might just be, like, a rock or sumthin?)

I read his stuff because I enjoy science fiction. Those leaps to the most improbable idea that barely touches the fragments of evidence presented, it reminds me of that point in some stories where they are foreshadowing a crazy plot twist.

The cascade failure they had sounds heartbreaking.

Qatar just shut their gas production down because they can't ship it because the US decided to shit on Iran. They aren't going to help.

Just wait until Japan drips about a trillion dollars of US bonds on the market to pay for gas, due to the shortages directly caused by US terrorism.

A computer is never responsible. Whoever ordered the use of the computer is responsible. There will be a human in court for this.

Oh, awesome! ๐Ÿ‘ Reading an article on substack right now that, frankly, sounds like the start of a science fiction novel about 3I/Atlas. If you're going to be producing any sort of print or video regularly I'll subscribe.
