It’s the only social media I use because the algorithm is so precise, it’s intensely trained on cat videos and possum videos. It doesn’t serve me anything else at this point, it’s a thing of beauty
According to an FDA study relying on 2016 and 2019 data, 4.4 percent of Americans report consuming raw milk in the past year, although the number has almost certainly grown since then.
Some veterinarians working with dairies in Texas believe the virus is more active than current data suggest. Nick Schneider, a consulting dairy practitioner, is one of them.
“The thing is, when you get into the Panhandle of Texas, I’m not sure there’s anybody (dairy farms) that did not have it,” says Schneider. Texas is home to 335 Grade A dairies with an estimated 625,00 cows, according to information on the Texas Association of Dairymen website. More than 100 of those operations are in the Panhandle.
The virus likely is being under-reported by the dairy industry because the presence of the virus in dairy cows is new, and there are no reporting requirements, Russo says.

Petersen says she has worked with people infected by H5N1 who do not interact with dairy cows. “I’m talking owners and feeders who don’t usually touch cows,” she says.
…
Moving forward, the U.S. livestock industry might operate in a new world – one where the H5N1 virus is endemic.
This comes after a lab at Ohio State University detected genetic material of the virus in 38% of retail milk samples they’ve tested, data that also suggests the current outbreak is being underreported.
“A colleague of mine, he told me, ‘You know what’s strange? I went to one of my dairies last week, and all their cats were missing. I couldn’t figure it out — the cats usually come to my vet truck,’ ” Petersen recalled. “And then someone called me and said half of his cats had passed away without warning, and so then all the alarm bells start going off in your head.”
The cats had died from swollen brains, a potential result of influenza. They didn’t have rabies.
My fourth year searching for them and i finally found a place! Few hundred feet off the trail and there it was among the mayapple and waterleaf, i could hardly believe it. Tree ID is HARD and i don’t have any tips on that front but i don’t think there were any elms around because the (lack of) canopy in the area didn’t...
Saw these at $70 a pound in a local store recently. agony-shivering Haven’t found them in the wild yet - I know they’re up in the sierras right now, just can’t get up there to go looking!
You see the problem with Gaza is that they gave tax breaks to startups to bring jobs to their central business district. All of this would go away if the fucking yuppies would head back into the office for their zoom calls instead of taking them at home
