    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive.

Y'know, science is awesome. As is the results of sapient dedication when we push in the right direction. Thanks for posting this!

Of course, now I'm going to go back in my old notes from when I was teaching archaeology of agriculture and see if I can track down the sources who were looking into the signs of bison domestication, of course. There goes today's productivity!
