 Compounding this, there are formatters and commit hooks that require npm to be
 functional. So, to develop right now requires allowing direnv to setup the Nix

 Yes, hopefully I can get completely away from npm here soon, but this is a minor

-Nix building will not work because Hugo reaches out to the internet via content

-Imaginary friends that help me inject personality into my articles. These are
-anthropomorphized versions of animals that I have known in real life. I tried to
-draw them roughly in the style of Chris Pasquini, but failed myself, then tried
-using Perplexity's image generation. The style isn't quite the same, but I like

-## Spawn of Satan (aka Spawn aka SOS)

-![Spawn ref sheet](spawn/_ref-body-perplexity.png)
-
-Spawn of Satan is the name Travis gave to the cannulated cow, and it stuck.
-Spawn is old and cynical after having every professor with a new idea experiment
-on her. After being in academia for so long, she knows her way around
-mathematics and the scientific method reasonably well, even if she's never
-formally taken a college course in the sciences. She is the realist to any blog
-post's optimist.

-## Whelen

-![Whelen ref sheet](whelen/_ref-body-perplexity.png)
-
-Whelen is a happy-go-lucky German Shepherd/Husky mix puppy. He's been to school
-once - and that was just to get neutered - so his knowledge of math and science,
-heck, even of the humanities, isn't very good. He is very naive and thinks
-everyone is nice and wants to be his friend, but he is also friendly to everyone
-and is very vocal when he feels left out. He will step in when any blog post is
-getting too technical and demand an explanation for real people (dogs?).

 During my time in academia, I have amassed a few notable accomplishments. Of

-Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) is a major cause of reproductive failure in cattle.
-In bulls, penile papillomas caused by BPV may cause reluctance to breed, and is
-always a cause to fail an animal on a breeding soundness exam. Historically, it
-has been thought that BPV was transmitted via direct contact and could be
-controlled by managing clinically presenting animals in the herd, but more
-recent evidence suggests alternative modes of transmission. BPV has been found
-repeatably in clinically healthy animals, and in non-cutaneous secretions
-including milk, blood, urine and semen. Currently, no commercially available BPV
-vaccine uses isolated viral particles and naturally occurring virus does not
-produce cross-protective immunity. In order to develop a proper vaccine for
-penile papillomas further studies are required to understand the epidemiology of
-BPV in herds. While vulvar, cutaneous, and mammary papillomas have been
-genotyped in recent years, this information is not available for penile
-papillomas. In this study there were 31 submissions, collected from 7 states,
-NE, KS, NY, TX, AL, MO and SD (14 different cattle operations) Samples were
-collected between August of 2022 and April 2024. Twenty-two submissions were
-penile papillomas and with pooling of samples represented over 50 penile
-papillomas. Samples were metagenomically sequenced at the Kansas State
-Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, and the genotype of each sample was determined using
-the phylogenetic analysis. The clade of each sample was determined by aligning
-consensus sequences of the L1 gene (used for both for phylogeny and as a vaccine
-target) using MAFFT and a maximum-likelihood phylogeny generated in Mega X.
-Analysis found that all penile papilloma submissions were composed of BPV type
-2, with one sample showing co-infection with BPV type 1. Conversely, cutaneous
-and teat papillomas had BPV genotypes that were more variable with genotypes of
-1,2,7,12,14,29 and 40. These results indicate that BPV type 2 and type 1 provide
-a unified target for bovine penile papilloma vaccine development.

-Metagenomic classification tackles the problem of characterising the taxonomic
-source of all DNA sequencing reads in a sample. A common approach to address the
-differences and biases between the many different taxonomic classification tools
-is to run metagenomic data through multiple classification tools and databases.
-This, however, is a very time-consuming task when performed manually -
-particularly when combined with the appropriate preprocessing of sequencing
-reads before the classification. Here we present nf-core/taxprofiler, a highly
-parallelised read-processing and taxonomic classification pipeline. It is
-designed for the automated and simultaneous classification and/or profiling of
-both short- and long-read metagenomic sequencing libraries against a 11
-taxonomic classifiers and profilers as well as databases within a single
-pipeline run. Implemented in Nextflow and as part of the nf-core initiative, the
-pipeline benefits from high levels of scalability and portability, accommodating
-from small to extremely large projects on a wide range of computing
-infrastructure. It has been developed following best-practise software
-development practises and community support to ensure longevity and adaptability
-of the pipeline, to help keep it up to date with the field of metagenomics.

-Viral populations within an infected host are composed of viral particles with a
-spectrum of genetic mutations rather than a unified genome. This phenomenon is
-referred to as viral "quasispecies," and has been useful for the understanding
-of viral transmission and early detection of new viral variants. Next generation
-sequencing (NGS) has enabled the study of these quasispecies for many viral
-species, notably Influenza A and B, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Foot and
-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV), and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
-(SARS CoV2), and established protocols and computer analysis tools have been
-developed for these species. Some of the most important viruses, such as
-emerging and exotic disease agents, however, do not have replicatable protocols
-or software tools capable of producing valid output from their sequence data.
-Here, we present Yet Another Viral Subspecies Analysis Pipeline (YAVSAP). YAVSAP
-is a fully automated bioinformatic pipeline built from the ground up to identify
-and analyze viral quasispecies of any arbitrary virus in human and veterinary
-samples. YAVSAP provides reference-based genome mapping of both long- and
-short-read sequencing reads to any reference genome that the user chooses,
-identifies subconsensus variants and haplotypes, and assesses the phylogenies of
-all viral sequences found within a sample. YAVSAP is written in Nextflow and
-conforms to the nf-core initiative's standards, which allows it to run on
-low-end computers, high performance computing (HPC) clusters, or anything in
-between with zero configuration. YAVSAP has been tested on viruses of interest
-to veterinary medicine and public health, including Japanese Encephalitis Virus
-(JEV), Influenza D Virus (IDV), Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV), SARS CoV2, and Rift
-Valley Fever Virus (RVFV), and can correctly identify consensus genomes and
-quasispecies within samples containing each of these viruses. This tool provides
-a means for biologists with little bioinformatic experience to analyze deep
-sequence data while correcting for many of the pitfalls associated with previous
-and current analysis platforms. YAVSAP is open source software and is publicly
-available at https://github.com/ksumngs/yavsap.

-Hi! I'm Thomas. I love anything to do with cattle or technology, but especially

-  This is not a real blog post - this is just an idea for a provocative article
-  that I fed into Llama3.2 to generate some text that is slightly more
-  interesting than lorem ipsum. Gee howdy, is this writing crap, but I have
-  committed it to the repository so I can rebase around it. If you are here
-  reading this somehow, please understand that these are not my thoughts.

-
-In the grand tapestry of American religiosity, there exists a peculiar breed of
-Christian denomination that stands out for its unique blend of fervent devotion
-and...let's be honest, a hint of authoritarianism. I'm, of course, referring to
-Baptist churches. Yes, those churches that make you wonder if they're being run
-by the Mafia.
-
-Now, before I proceed, let me just clarify that this isn't an attempt to
-disparage the good people who worship in these esteemed institutions. No, no,
-nothing like that. It's merely a case of observational reporting, where I'm
-poking around the fringes of Baptist culture to get a better understanding of
-what makes them tick.
-
-As someone who's spent considerable time within the fold (hello, 20+ years of
-being born again), I've come to realize that there are certain habits,
-practices, and attitudes that seem endemic to Baptist churches. Now, keep in
-mind that this isn't a generalization, but rather an observation born out of
-personal experience.
-
-One of these habits is an extraordinary level of fervor and zealotry. Baptists
-tend to be deeply invested in their faith, often to the point where it borders
-on fanaticism. I've seen folks who will passionately argue for or against just
-about anything that's perceived as contrary to their interpretation of
-scripture. Now, while this can be a laudable trait in moderation, excessive
-fervor can quickly turn toxic.
-
-Another peculiar habit of Baptist churches is an unsettling preoccupation with
-hierarchy and authority. It's not uncommon to see senior pastors wielding near
-absolute power within the church, often based on factors such as age,
-experience, or – heaven forbid – personal popularity. This can lead to a culture
-where dissenting voices are stifled, and nonconformity is discouraged.
-
-The worship services themselves often feel more like formal lectures or
-performances than genuinely communal gatherings. Don't get me wrong; I love a
-good hymn or sermon as much as the next person, but sometimes it feels like
-you're trapped in a 90-minute lecture on theology. And if you're sitting too far
-forward, forget about trying to contribute to the conversation – your
-participation will be met with stern disapproval.
-
-In addition, there's an omnipresent air of suspicion and mistrust that seems to
-pervade every aspect of Baptist life. If someone doesn't toe the party line,
-they're often met with swift reprimand or outright ostracism. This creates a
-toxic environment where people feel pressured into conformity rather than being
-encouraged to explore their own spirituality.
-
-Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, just like in any other human
-endeavor. I've encountered Baptist churches that embody the very opposite of
-these described habits – places where worship is genuine, inclusive, and
-welcoming, where individual freedom and creativity are cherished, and where the
-emphasis is on community rather than control.
-
-So what drives this peculiar breed of authoritarianism within some Baptist
-churches? Is it a genuine misunderstanding of scripture, or perhaps a result of
-historical context? Or is there something deeper at play – perhaps an inherent
-tension between the democratic values of American society and the hierarchical
-structures of traditional Christianity?
-
-These questions are central to my exploration of this topic. I'll delve into the
-complexities of Baptist history, the role of patriarchal ideology, and the ways
-in which cultural and social factors have shaped the institution over time.
-
-In conclusion, while I'm not ready to declare war on all things Baptist just yet
-(although, I must admit, it's tempting), I do hope that this exploration will
-shed some light on a fascinating aspect of American religiosity. Perhaps,
-through a better understanding of these peculiar habits and practices, we can
-foster a more inclusive and compassionate community – one where faith and
-conviction are tempered by empathy and respect for differing viewpoints.
-
-Ultimately, as someone who's found their own spiritual home within the Baptist
-fold, I believe it's essential to approach this conversation with sensitivity,
-curiosity, and an open mind. By embracing our shared humanity rather than
-perpetuating artificial divisions, we can work towards creating a more vibrant
-tapestry of faith in America – one that celebrates diversity while remaining
-committed to core principles of love and service.
-
-But for now, I'll leave you with these final thoughts on Baptist habits – habits
-that may seem baffling or even disturbing at times, but are ultimately part of
-what makes the Baptist experience so richly textured.
