"Nimbus new Covid variant: Tracking symptoms like ‘razor blade throat’ as NB.1.8.1 spreads in U.S.
A new COVID-19 variant that has caused concern among WHO officials is now spreading in America, according to CDC data. Here’s what to know."

"Since the start of the pandemic, 1.2 million people in the United States have died due to COVID-19, and 7.1 million people have succumbed to the disease worldwide."
In context, USA has 4.2% of the world's population, but has had 16.9% of the deaths from COVID-19. With about 4 times the global death rate, ours has not been a first-world response.
This is a graphic from a paper on ants but it looks like something I drew in a boring meeting.
(The point it's making is an interesting one, all ants can do all jobs, and you don't need to inject them to make it happen, they will just switch if the job isn't being done. But, I think they found a way to trigger this switch in the paper which would be ... huge, honestly. )
I will not comment on the "ant muscles"
Is everyone interested in ants just... weird?

Test fitting boards in a STEP export of the current rack chassis using Dune3D for the first time.
It's definitely got some rough edges but I think it has potential. Doesn't feel as polished as SolveSpace but the STEP import is a key feature I've found missing in other tools.
But I can't figure out how to do boolean operations on imported step geometry, even if I say it's part of a solid body I'm not able to e.g. do an extrusion to cut off the lid of the chassis so I can see inside (somehow setting to wireframe did this, which I think is a bug but lets me see what I need lol)
@dalias Initial impressions: running it via flatpak is a pain because flatpak is evil, but it depends on a GTK version too new for my debian so that's currently the only way I can use it. I have to set an environment variable to override some OpenGL initialization to make it start and not fail to compile shaders for some reason.
It's very heavily keyboard/context menu driven, the GUI is quite minimalistic so you kinda have to know what you want to do which makes for a bit of a learning curve.
Many of the default keyboard shortcuts are multi-key sequences which is not something I'm used to. Guessing the main dev is a vim user lol.
Join us every day, at 9am (Kyiv time), as Ukrainians and others stand and observe a minute’s silence in honor of the soldiers, men, women and children who perished in this savage war.
They laid down their lives not only for Ukraine, but for all of Europe!

Pepper spray on your shit? When you get home strip that down and drop it straight into the wash. Scrub you and anything you didn’t put into the wash with detergent. If your eyes have it, gently run clean cold water over them for a while.
Pepper spray comes in a few forms. Bear spray is often oil. It offgases for hours (days IMHO). Gotta use detergents to get it out of stuff, or flush it for a long time with water. Pepper balls are often pepper dust, so rinsing and brushing can help.
