→ Scott and Scurvy
Totally fascinating article about how we knew the cure to scurvy from at least the 15th century, but how circumstances conspired such that we couldn't get it to work in the early 20th century. Good look at how and why science is hard.

Oh this is the best gingerbread house! With PDF plans too. I don't really know the Moomins very well but I think I might have to make this house this year anyway. This is just the kind of slightly different take on the gingerbread house that I was looking for.

Some good gingerbread house plans here. Am looking to make something a bit more advanced than a regular 4 wall, 2 roof piece house this year.

Very interesting. I tend to dismiss "luck" as a silly non entity but would definitely file myself under "lucky" rather than "unlucky" if you made me choose. I agree entirely that being positive and dealing with what you actually have rather than what you'd like to have are useful attributes. On the intuition front I don't think most decisions matter that much - making them one way or another and getting on with it is more important than what the decision is. I guess thinking you can make things work out either way is a "lucky" kind of a thing.

This looks like fun - though I don't entirely understand how it works. I think I'll just get on and notice something and see what happens next... Not sure if being geographically isolated will make it pointless?
