Is winter miserable for wildlife? When you’re warm and cozy inside, it can be natural to wonder if the animals you see outside your window this winter are doing OK. Don’t worry – they’re doing better out there than you would.

Squirrels are tougher than you. πŸŒ¬οΈπŸΏοΈβ„οΈ

Western Kansans have to travel miles to see a doctor. Experts say it leads to worse health outcomes Western Kansas is the place for a quiet, rural lifestyle. But with that comes shortages when you need to see a doctor. Many will drive an hour or more to receive quality health care. But some of the problems may not be easily fixed.

With rural hospitals closing or perpetually understaffed, western Kansans often have to drive anywhere from an hour to multiple hours for doctor’s appointments. And fixing that for such a large area will be hard. https://loom.ly/Nzx_2F8

I had a very good weekend watching the Russians rage over the loss of their Starlink internet. Russia's frontline attacks reduced by more than 50% since they lost communications.

Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops"
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

The most likely reason Elon Musk finally disabled Starlink for Russian soldiers is because he wants to take SpaceX public and get a trillion dollar valuation for this IPO.

If the Russians were using Starlink to commit war crimes, then investors might have boycotted his IPO.
