8? Are there other codes for 7 & 9, that we need to be counting? What if we were sleeping and unsure of how many blasts we heard? :)

Really just morphs the troubles into balancing work (for food/energy consumption), and “premature” death (can you imagine your spouse living their whole life in a day/week?).

Liquid cat has some surface tension.

Way to stand up for my alien homies, yo!

I’m glad you provided a link, because I would not have believed you otherwise. Take my upvote.
