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.
Red rocket, standing by.
Did some checking, out of curiosity.
And yeah. Interesting as hell.
We recorded 65 dBSPL (dB of sound pressure level) ultrasonic sounds 4 inches (10 cm) from tomato and tobacco plants, implying that these sounds could be detected by some organisms from up to several feet (meters) away.

Did some searching. The paper from 2019 that discussed this -

I see him nearly every day. I don't post a lot online, but felt like sharing him today.
Seriously. I NEVER know what she had for breakfast.
Omg lol
'Query runs much quicker with 10 million fewer rows, Dave.'
True.
Also true that Biden cancelled it in his first months in office... Who knows how long it takes to get fully up to speed on everything bad we have going on?
Also Also true that it started and ran longer under a different regime.
Something I haven't seen in the comments but is very important to the equation.... Louisville has a very messed up bussing situation and has for years.
I'm not SUPER aware of the details, but that's because I live on the southern Indiana side of the river (just miles away from Louisville). My wife moved over here years ago specifically to avoid this issue for her kid before he was in the school system.
Louisville has a long standing policy where there is some sort of lottery that chooses what school you go to, rather than your school being determined by your nearest available.
The idea was clearly based on good intentions... to ensure that kids from any neighborhood would have the same opportunities, etc etc.
However, in reality it is a nightmare. Louisville isn't the largest metro area or the most sprawling, but still, trying to bus students from every school to every part of the county is ridiculous.
I think they made some changes in the past few years to make it easier to get a closer school, but again I'm not super up to date on it because it doesn't affect me other than the bus routes being an issue every year and hearing about it on the local news.
It's gotten worse and worse over the years though.
Again, I'm sure there are much more informed people with better info on this out there, but until they jump in I figured I'd add some pertinent info since this isn't a local lemmy community.
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what happened.
Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.
