Getting ready for the weekend: Dasha Rush — Black Swan (2017), a true masterpiece of equally driving & haunting (semi-minimal) techno with slowly emerging layers of constantly evolving polyrhytmic, syncopated, filtered percussion, pushing hi hats, all contrasted by yearning ethereal melodies. Chef's kiss!

informative article about H5N1 at US dairy farms
From people in the middle of it:
"We have a very clear picture that it's in the udder & is being shed in milk. But where else do we need to be concerned?"
“I spent one weekend picking up dead birds & the next weekend picking up dead cats."
"The dairy industry needs to be more proactive for the sake of the poultry industry ... a dime-sized piece of manure with H5N1 can infect up to 1 million chickens or turkeys."

I had really good timing with the 4-day weekend that's coming up.

Next week the start of month end, quarter end, fiscal year end, two code releases, special runs, quarterly board meeting, pay and pension runs. I don't think we have enough coffee and beer. It will also be a short work week and a four day weekend.
Oh, and for most of the week I will be the sole support person, duty person, data fix person, security person.

Wait wut? https://mas.to/@frozencanuck/111965411993455073
