This is why I love HN - in the between the constant bombardments of the latest AI advances or the newest frameworks we get someone that shares something most of us would have missed.
I've visited Kyiv twice and both times went on a guided tour around Chernobyl and Pripyat. I have fond memories of the beautiful dogs that knew how to play the tourists for food. I had read about them beforehand so I brought them some proper dog food. One of them had the biggest tick I've ever seen, it was almost the size of my thumb. Even though they roamed free some nice people care for them. They were tagged so probably most of them either sterilized or vaccinated.

- beebeepka 4y agoThe tag is likely just a clip on of the dog's ears.

- cheeze 4y agoSame. I find that hn crowd is pretty well educated. It's almost a replacement for reddit, which has gone way downhill for me. I don't care about writing a webserver in scheme or whatnot. I come here for this stuff these days. I wish there was an easy way to find stuff like this and filter out the... Normal hn stuff. I love the long reads I've found here. Eg "the secret of nanda devi" or "the hunt for the death valley Germans"
