Good Things Friday (264) and Link Love
March 15, 2024
1. We made it a whole two and a half weeks without a fever/viral incident! The streak ended this weekend but I’m impressed we went that long. It’s the first long stretch of the year.
Sad that the virus also hit me on the weekend as well. I was very excited to do a batch cooking session and a grocery shopping trip this weekend but couldn’t. I rage-cleaned 2/3s of the stove, all I had the energy for, but it didn’t make me feel better about ruining my plans. I’m not sure I’ll feel well enough this weekend either but that’s more the fatigue talking.
2. Sunday’s time change was more painful for me and Sera whose water has to go away by 8 pm than the kids, who both slept in for once in their lives. That was a surprise.
What is going ON at Boeing?? Boeing says it can’t find documents on the door plug that blew off mid-air
Useless in space? uOttawa helps elementary students make startling discovery about EpiPens
The Dept of Corrections has been watching too much TV, they can’t truly believe that an incarcerated person has the tools needed to hack their laptop like an outside hacker has. This is just cruel. Good grief. An engineer bought a prison laptop on eBay. Then 1,200 incarcerated students lost their devices.
Are you kidding me, PG&E?? And those commissioners who utterly ignored people and passed the approval!: Ignoring public outcry over soaring bills, regulators approve another PG&E rate hike
My Canadian friends have said that Canada is every bit as evil towards their First Nations people as the US and this sure supports their argument. What a disgusting way to treat treaty partners, Canada. I hope that this is the biggest, and only the first of more to come, reparations actually paid to the Indigenous people: The Crown broke a promise to First Nations. It could now owe billions.
Oh to be a sled dog with their stamina and metabolic switch: Learning Fat-Burning Secrets from Sled Dogs
It’s the Dog in You: An Oklahoma veterinary scientist named Mike Davis says there’s no doubt about it: The world’s greatest athletes, of any species, are the canines who pull sleds at the Iditarod. Now, in a project funded by the Pentagon’s research arm, he’s coming up with ways to make us more like them.
