      451 is a great error code. It’s a reference to Fahrenheit 451, and is used to indicate government censorship. In this case it’s being used all wrong, and almost ironic in nature.

      418 is a fun one too. “I’m a teapot”

        418 is always a little disappointing though. Lots of projects out there touting their “full HTCPCP compatibility” when all they do is serve 418 to every request; no actual coffeepots I could find last time I looked.

          Sounds like the problem is trying to make teapots capable of coffee pot control protocol.

    So, reading the short article, only one infected monkey escaped, per the sheriff’s office. Then the University they are from clarified that their infected monkeys are not contagious, and there were no infected monkeys on that truck.

    The monkeys are for primate virology research.

    Nice reminder of just how hard spun headlines are.

      The crazy part is they were headed to Florida…

      Which means despite all the existing infections, they were likely meant as a control group /s
