@leo That seems fair, just save a spot for Steve Gibson of GRC !(or did he already sign up?)There was already another Steve Gibson on mastodon, but it wasn't OUR Steve. So I don't know what handle he'll end up with.-Walt

#scifi What's a good hard-science fiction novel that's "stand-alone" (no sequels, trilogy, cliff-hanger endings etc.) ???Something new in the last year or so...I think I've read all the older ones 😀 📕 Suggestions? Amazon reviews are unreliable at best nowadays-Walt

#ApologyI apologize, for being an #OldTimer that helped create the #Internet mess we are in. Thought the #Net would create #truth over #ignorance. Didn't realize then that humans are hard-wired for #tribalism, #gossip & #lies for attention. #SocialMedia has amplified this weakness to the point that we're currently endangering the very existence of the human race. (think of those that have died due to #misinformation) I hope #Mastodon (or something like it) can help reverse this downward course
