Heh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe…
There are other sources, but they don’t know that.
Way to go Taritha, plant a seed and watch it grow…
Good Lord, what that poor girl must of felt before the
CSA finally let her die then. This makes the story even
sadder. It’s a real shame she wasn’t given time to get
over the PTSD from the slavers. It also makes me think
the brass bull would of been a better choice for that
CSA president!
That’s a better way to put yes, sorry our power went on early
so I had to stay up and monitor both my wife’s and father’s
oxygen tanks until it came back on. Which it did at 8am…
A nap lasted way longer than intended.
We really need a backup generator.
A generator is good insurance. Ever since I moved here,
we’ve had hours-long power failures every few months.
So I finally bought a good inverter generator.
Have only had to fire it up once.
That’s usually the case, if you have it, you won’t need it.
I expect the failures to return if I ever sell it, though.
We’re in a rule area, stuck between 2 small towns, we have hurricane
lamps and such but between my wife and my father, it’s getting to be
a big deal. We’ve got one from an older camper, but it needs work and
a self-start circuit. The oxy machines eat power so a small one won’t
handle it, think 2 large chest freezers.
We got solar panels on the roof, and backup batteries.
Cost quite a bit more than just getting a generator,
but in the long run they will pay for themselves.
And by the time we’re retired, the loan on
the solar panels will be paid off.
Our electricity bill is next to zero and we don’t even
notice short power failures. If we have a really long
one (multiple days) during the depths of winter, we’d
have to carefully ration power but at least we wouldn’t
have to throw out all the food in the fridge.
Solar and batteries are only going to get less expensive
over time, and at least at the time I got our loan the
solar loan interest rates were generous. Maybe now that
the Fed is playing games with interest rates it would be
harder to get an affordable loan.
I only hope, as twisted as it maybe, that the CSA president
wasn’t killed by the kinetic kill missiles, but instead was
buried alive with plenty of air, but immobilized, to slowly
die of thirst and starvation, while begging for death.
Yes, I believe in the death penalty, but I also feel
the Method of execution should fit the crime.
I know it’s morbid, but I want someone to have time to
think about why it’s happening to them. Sadly, people like
him won’t think about why, because they think they had
the right to do it.
“How did the species survive before they had access to Cofeve?”
It has been established that no species actually needs Covfefe.
The material has beneficial effects for multiple species and
even where it has no medicinal effects it has a very pleasing
flavor. That makes it a very sought after commodity. In the
three days remaining before the guys’ captain goes before the
council, it would behoove them to build some support for, at
a minimum, neutrality in the nascent stellar war between the
Empire and the core.
With access to so many worlds and not all are terra formed,
there’s bound to be SO many discoveries that could be
anything from beneficial to entertaining. Cofeve was one of
those I suppose. That fact alone makes a trade war foolish
at best. So far the only race that would truly suffer from
a lack of Cofeve would be the Aquatics, since it’s a needed
medicine for them.
It added many years to the Aquatic’s life span, possibly half again
as long. It’s be like finding a berry is the rain forests that cured
cancer and aging. And tasted good to boot, almost like it’d be
finding out Coke or Pepsi cures Parkinson’s! But I agree, the
species would survive, just not as long for the individuals.
I guess you could compare it to penicillin, we could survive as
a species, but it saved so many lives in a short time after it
was discovered. I’m mildly allergic to it, but they followed it
up with sulfa drugs before I was born.
trade wars foolish… the point of a ‘trade war’ is to make the
most (money) off the other.! so.. the leaders can make the most
by,, making it very hard to get, then charge as much as the
other will bare, then add taxes, shipping, research, etc…
oh , the ones suffering, are not ‘them’ so they don’t care.!!!
President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal B Woodman Domestic Violent Extremist SuperStraight
If I remember right, when we were introduced to Taritha, she was only
12, in a short time we see her go went from a overwhelmed youngster
to the Empress’s envoy, that speaks volumes about her just off the top!
I loved her description about both Teresa and Kathy, it is exactly how I
seen them as, a knife and a river.
Okay, ‘fess up. Did you plan this? Were you talking about
covfeve in front of these females as part of a cunning plan?
Heh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe…

Taritha is off to a running start as Teresa’s envoy, isn’t she?
She really needs a dragonfly to bond with her,
I see great things from that girl!
great…
Or grand, or a portmanteau of the two.

Wow, you’re right about Kiedra. I hadn’t thought about that.
Death by woodchipper is too good for them.
I just hope he survived in a part of that bunker
long enough to suffer before dying… Thirst maybe…

By the way: nice example for what happens if you’re overly
dependent on a single resource – like oil, for example.

Even there, the SPECIES can and did survive without it,
but it is of enormous benefit,

And thus the behind closed doors,
behind the scenes, who-knows-who,
plotting begins.
More interesting to watch.
I can’t wait to see how that story line plays out!

12, in a short time we see her go went from a overwhelmed youngster
to the Empress’s envoy, that speaks volumes about her just off the top!

yep,, she was 12!
