When I was a kid (maybe early 50s) I read a comic book series which was about bugs in an open field, with various junk in it. Later I realized that the text was (unrhymed?) Iambic Pentameter (blank verse?). As a little kid I didn't realize how unusual this was. Years later I came across the remnant of one copy and discovered the unusual property.

Anyone have a clue as to what this was?

If this isn't the proper subreddit, let me know where I could do better. Thanks.

Probably 20-40 years ago. A butch female cat lives with "Darlin'" and "Levi" a gay couple. Darlin' because that's what Levi calls him and Levi because it's there right on his pants. Darlin' has something similar to FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) and stays home while Levi goes to work. The cat (don't recall her name) stays home and plays "nursey nurse" for Darlin' although she feels that it doesn't fit her butch image.

There's a problem in the neighborhood with many kittens being "kitnapped." So the cat decides to investigate. There's a gathering of all the cats in the area, which occurs periodically. The cat falls HEAVY for another exotic cat, possibly a long hair, female, Persian cat.

I've scheduled a Defender weekly run (which wasn't easy) but I find that it's using the Quick Scan option. I'd like it to do the Full Scan option. I went to Microsoft's "help" pages but they just led me around in circles. I this possible? Or am I barking into the wind? Thanks.

I'm looking to replace my (aging) laptop. But the ones I see on-line no longer have a left and right click button I have on my current laptop and which I'm used to on the mouse (mice) I have always used. Is there a commonly designated substitute?

The story involves (a) learning a language with a vast set of phonemes and which greatly increases your intelligence. Maybe also (b) a body transformation which keeps you at an ideal weight. But I've possibly conflated those two.

I bought an ebook with some stories by George O. Smith on the basis that it had Highways In Hiding, which I connected to my searched for target. But it didn't. HIH had to do with a body transformation which could be fatal or miraculous. But there was no linguistic component nor was there an intelligence aspect.

In the same book was a story (The Fourth R) which proposed a machine which could help you memorize knowledge which then became part of your toolkit for fut

I have a Tab 4, Nook Edition. A while back, the sound would cut out from time to time. Now, it's pretty much off all the time, although I can still use the mic to do an audio search. Is this reparable? Prior to this failure I used it about 1/2 and 1/2 to watch YouTube vids and read (Nook and Kindle).

What's up? I was logged into the New Reddit and couldn't figure out where the front page was. (I don't want ALL.) So I opted to return to old Reddit. But I realize that this isn't a long term solution.

Where does it happen? ???

Screenshots or mock-ups ???
