Siren wails in Gainesville TX after ant attack
kten.com/story/47888833/siren-

GAINESVILLE, Texas (KTEN) — It turns out there was nothing to worry about Wednesday morning for Gainesville residents who heard emergency sirens going off.

There was no severe weather in the area; Gainesville police said ants got into an electrical circuit board and shorted it out... causing the siren to begin wailing.

Did you know that we house an amazing collection of Ice Age (Pleistocene) fossils from Oxfordshire. From mammoth tusks to bears and lions uncovered on Oxford’s high street, this collection has a lot to teach us about Oxfordshire’s past.

On this page you can hear from collections managers or explore 3D models of our fossils.

Today's gender is an exhausted, ominous dragon.

I've been pondering clams professionally for ten years, and I still learn new stuff about them literally every day. Clams are complicated, folks! They're not just open and shut!

Maybe the real Torment Nexus is the tech we made along the way

The White House has requested more COVID funding 4 times this year, rejected each time. The latest request is for a mere $10 billion. It's foolish to spend $858 Billion on defense, and nothing on public health, when COVID is one of the biggest global security issues of our time.

One thing that COVID has demonstrated really clearly to me is what an absolute shit show of inadequacy the US healthcare...collection of services is.

As a side point why don't WA, OR and CA join together and do Cascadia universal healthcare? If the rest of the country doesn't want it at least we could do it.

*Sigh*

Not only is my local internet down, my phone connection is really really slow. Something out there happening on the intertubes?

Most of the folks I know who got the Covid shot were sick the day after. I never did, but was kind of expecting to get sick because I got my Covid AND Flu shots at once.

I never did get sick, but one thing I do get, which I wonder if anyone else gets is that my arm aches for days and days after.

Probably didn't help that I have a new blood sugar meter in the same arm....

battlestar galactica what do they do with the paper corners

big reminder that one of the reasons we don't have universal healthcare is because when its provided by our employer they can use our literal lives against us if we try to fight back against unfair labor practices.
