> Keeping a dog lot anywhere requires a constant loop of chores: feeding dogs, running dogs, scooping up dog poop. But keeping one in Nome comes with additional responsibilities: monitoring threats from muskoxen, stubborn, shaggy animals with formidable horns and a record of attacking dogs.
I vote that we finally retire the term "yak shaving" and replace it with "fighting muskoxen".
As in you want to create a personal blog so you first have to set up a VM, research static site generators, try to get random ruby gems to work, then figure CI/CD on Github actions, and before you know it you're in the Alaskan tundra fighting muskoxen.
"Fighting muskoxen"doesn't really roll of the tongue tho, it's too long for one, and I feel like it would have a better ring to it if the verb came last(like it does inthe original phrase)
