I first saw him on the BBC Horizon documentary back in 1991; the first time western film crews had been permitted on the site. This was already quite late in the cleanup; the shelter was complete, the fuel was found, and they were into the data gathering and reclaiming phase.

Finally got around to reading Alexander Borovei's book about his exceptionally long duty at Chernobyl, from the opening hours of disaster to the relative normality a decade later.

A herd of large, cattle-like tauros will be released into the Highlands as part of a rewilding project. The long-horned bovids have been specially bred in the Netherlands and are intended to replicate the ecological role of the aurochs, an extinct and extremely heavy herbivore that is the wild ancestor of cattle.

Since I only have about 40 followers, I would appreciate as many boosts as possible as it is hurricane related. The Iphone 14 and above has the capability to send messages via satellite.

Evidently it only works if you do not have cell data or wifi available.

WOW. Just wow. Going through my shots from last night's aurora and found this corker from Hoopers Inlet taken at 21:20. What an absolutely amazing night! #aurora #NewZealand #astronomy

@dancingtreefrog That poor server! At a place I worked they had some print server that had been up for around a decade that was down to the final working disk, and they were scared to ever reboot it.

Another reason to not say anything when you pick up an honest to goodness "phone call" these days: autodialers that will record your voice, profile it and turn it into an AI model, so they know which voice they need to match when they spoof a number to convince your mom to send $5000 in walmart gift cards.
