The recent news from the United States of bird flu in dairy cows has alarmed the Cambodians.
“The lesson learned from the U.S. is that we need to look more in these other animals and do more tests,” said Dr. Tum Sothyra
The ministry is expanding testing to animals that are likely to eat infected birds,such as ferrets &wild dogs, but he hopes it can find the funds to test cows as well
Poultry, however, is more difficult to surveil.

A Bad Look for #Samsung #righttorepair #ifixit #usa #news #tech

It should be no surprise that Samsung would sabotage the trust and goodwill of its customers.

Samsung requires shops to report unknowing customers coming in for repair while pushing a narrative that it is committed to your right to tinker with a device you own.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison squirted raw H5N1-containing milk from infected cows into the throats of anesthetized laboratory mice, finding that the virus caused systemic infections after the mice were observed swallowing the dose. The illnesses began quickly, with symptoms of lethargy and ruffled fur starting on day 1. On day 4, the animals were euthanized to prevent extended suffering.

What are some decent speakers to pair with an iPhone or iPad on a modest budget?

Mostly for podcast and radio; some music. Don't want loud bass.

Not The Onion

The institute's founder, Mark McAfee, told the Los Angeles Times this weekend that his customers are, in fact, specifically requesting raw milk from #H5N1-infected #cows. According to McAfee, his customers believe, without evidence, that directly drinking high levels of the #avianinfluenza #virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen

“two Texas Tech scientists found that dust blown from feedlots contained antibiotic-resistant bacteria, TCFA allegedly went on the warpath against the scientists, first by urging them not to discuss the research and then by trying to get them fired, Texas Monthly reported”

In the Texas Panhandle, which produces a fifth of the U.S. beef supply, communities are being choked by fecal dust from nearby feedlots. The state’s regulatory agency isn’t doing anything about it—and it’s about to get a whole lot worse.

Not one arrest was made at #UCLA of the Zionist frat boys who were let in by private security and ignored by #LAPD while they hospitalized 22 students. It looked like a mob of brown shirts.

#H5N1, #avianflu #virus, killed tens of thousands of #marinemammals, and infiltrated American #livestock for first time.
H5N1, one of the many viruses that cause bird flu, had already killed at least 24,000 South American sea lions along the coasts in less than a year. Now comes for elephant seals.
Scientists are working quickly to assess how it is evolving and risk it poses to humans

Our za'atar supply chain is under threat, not because of a natural disaster or general political unrest, but because it is being targeted in a campaign against #Palestinian culture and people.

Our partner farmers in the West Bank have been the targets of violence in an attempt to prevent them from growing

What’s a Jew to do now? Everyone makes their own choices, but my experience of war crimes taught me that being Jewish means standing against any nation that commits war crimes.

Any.

ottaross, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) to Montreal

There's a bit of Montreal just east of Atwater near Ste Catherine/Maisonneuve with lots of dumpling/soup-dumpling shops.

Would be a great area to do a dumpling crawl, which we'll try someday when we're not already full of snacks.

Need to choose today between Qing Hua, Petit Poisson, Sammi, and Fu Chun. They're all close together and I don't know which one is best, but we'll probably pick something among those once we're hungry again.

Any recommendations #Montreal?
