SciShow has partnered up with Maya Higa, from Alveus Sanctuary, to tell an uncharacteristically long-form[1] story about the 1925 Nome Diptheria outbreak and why the Nome Serum run was so improbable. It also features interviews with Blair Braverman, herself an Iditarod musher, and Dr. Heather Huson, who worked with sled dogs and became an animal genetecist. It tells the story of some of the mushers as well as some very good boys and girls.
[1]: for a SciShow episode that isn't a compilation, clocking in at almost 45 minutes

Spent nearly all of the day yesterday at our office north of Boston helping a colleague from Cali move the network room, for my part firewalls and DNS appliances.
At dinner it was suggested that we try out this hot pot/KBBQ place in So Nashua. You order ingredients on a tablet and they bring it to your table. It was a little loud and hectic but also Friday night. Still, I would go back there again.
Got home just as the clock struck midnight. And I have two remote changes this weekend from other projects. Thinking I’ll take a day or two off this week to compensate myself.

Son of a fucking bitch.
Solved a non-critical routing problem at work that had been plaguing me for at least a week.
And it was something so stupid.
Also, policy based routing with NAT is the devil.

It started rainin' around here a short while ago, with the threat of severe thunderstorms, but for now it's a gentle rain, comfortably cool (not cold) ... and I'm just sitting at the open window.

This is what I do to shoes in the course of a year. On the right is what I walked into the store wearing. On the left is the bottom of a new shoe of the same model.
I’m surprised they lasted this long.
I wonder if I just don’t walk properly.

@tilton I'm kicking myself a little bit for not leaving enough time to take a ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn when I was there in early 2025.
Then again, I got to spend a week in Finland, and that's not so bad, either.

I have dry, bare spots in my uncovered driveway... next to three-foot snow drifts. I can see most of the passenger side of my car, except for the front door, which is blocked up to the window.
I have icicles sticking out snow drifts hanging off my gutter.
The city plow couldn't find the border between the sidewalk and the road and unintentionally plowed almost my entire front sidewalk. (Thanks!)
We didn't get nearly as much snow as folks feared. I'd say we got maybe 12 inches, on the low end of what was predicted for this area. But wow, the winds were insane and created the areas of snow feast and famine across my property.
