If you want fun politics and war in the entire solar system, I recommend Red Rising and the the subsequent 2 novels (I haven’t read beyond that). The characters are incredibly sentimental but it was really fun to read. It doesn’t start off anything like The Expanse but politics within the entire solar system and divisions between the outer planets and asteroid belt were reminiscent of some scenarios.

If you want a more philosophical and hard science exploration of Humanity expanding beyond our solar system, dealing with long term evolution and exploring sentience in other species, I like Children of Time and the followup books.

Neither are very similar to Expanse but both series are great.

Foam sounds terrible for holding bolts. If you have to fill it and have a clear hollow access, I’d consider epoxy and some wood dowels. The dowels would be to bring the cost down because you will probably need more than a gallon of epoxy and that stuff is expensive. This is my idea, please feel free to poop on it.

Jiu Jitsu. Really fun to grapple hard against an opponent. Unlike striking sports, you can practice pretty hard and mostly avoid injuries. There is a thinking component and a mental strength component making it much more fun than other workouts I do.

It is partly about using the sea route to establish their disregard of China’s claim right?

I’m not a fan of pooping behind the curtain. I hope its not carpet around the toilet.

We know what the outcome will be. Yet we are still working towards making an even spicier Hotomic bomb.

Just do it one day when she is not home and then sleep on the couch.

I call bullshit. No one survives the blue touch.

Hi friend, I understand. I commented because it is a sad and touching situation you shared. I hope you find a great way to get all the resources you need for Bernie. I feel like the system is being tested in a way. I’m glad you asked on asklemmy. I’m not sure anyone has done that and there might be some interesting discussion about it. You might find the advocates you need through your posts and we may find an answer to “ where should I post this” for your situation.

I’m not sure there is a community to post this to on Lemmy that will get the traction you need to save your cat. I hope I’m wrong. Sorry you and your cat are going through this. Best of luck!
