Wind Transforms Landscapes

The few trees that can survive in the harsh conditions of the western-facing slopes of Allegheny Front show the changes brought on by the strong winds that sweep the sods during much of the year.

How The Ivermectin Culture Wars Took Off : Shots – Health News : NPR

U.S. health authorities and most doctors do not recommend using it to prevent or treat COVID-19, citing a lack of clear evidence on whether the drug works. Yet myths and beliefs around the drug have taken on a life of their own, fueled by a small group of doctors whose views diverge from the medical consensus, by right-wing commentators and by internet groups where people share tips on sourcing and dosing.

The thing about Ivermectin cultural wars, is not the stupid people who are making themselves sick taking it, but all the farmers and homesteaders with sick livestock that can't get an essential  dewormer for their livestock. Folks goats, sheep and other stock are literally dying because of idiots buying up the supply of this essential pesticide.

I noticed the Overpass Mono and Nimbus Sans fonts I used in the SVG exports from ggplot2 charts I posted yesterday don’t render correctly on machines without the fonts installed, as they are not embedded in the SVG file unlike charts I’ve made with MatplotLib

REVISED 10/22, fixed code

The code I posted earlier in the week ago didn’t work correctly. New code works.

I noticed the Overpass Mono and Nimbus Sans fonts I used in the SVG exports from ggplot2 charts I posted yesterday don’t render correctly on machines without the fonts installed, as they are not embedded in the SVG file unlike charts I’ve made with MatplotLib. It turns out there is a simple solution –just use grDevices::svg as the export device. The earlier code seemed to produce broken SVG files.
