Not much of an alternative to a https://www.etsy.com/market/nose_mitten
Looking at the nose mitten photos on DuckDuckGo, they resemble smaller, nose-only COVID-19 face masks. Marking “nose mitten” as #TIL. -

#TIL: “Ukraine” is the English transliteration of “Україна”, pronounced oo-CRAY-yee-nah
I just assumed that we pronounced it the same as they did.
Also, there used to be some Ukrainian families (refugees) living nearby in the 1990s. I really enjoyed the sound of their language when they spoke to one another. I have not heard it since then. -

#TIL: Angular's web-server doesn't deal with networking like #nginx or #apachehttpd (both of which work fine on test server).
I learned that working on https://github.com/Faldrian/bandcamp-scraper
I also learned that #CouchDB is a PITA. I probably could have figured it out, but it isn't high on the "must learn" list.
