See if there is a national cooperative association in your country, I’ve received help from them in the past when starting a co-op.

I grew up on a small dairy farm as well until I was about ten. We lost the barn to a fire and switched to grain/beef farming, my parents have always said our “stomach flus” became way less common once we stopped drinking raw milk.

Also this is an individualized view of health, raw milk should be illegal to consume as it increases the risk for all immunocompromised people in our society (which there’s a lot more of these days due to COVID).

I got a tiktok the other day where a microbiologist stitched a raw milker saying that it never goes bad, just turns into buttermilk you can use in all your pancakes and other baking. She was just baking with spoiled milk.

In reality you’re 650x more likely to get sick than pasteurized milk, 45x more likely to be hospitalized.

If anything, we’ll encourage the spread to achieve “herd immunity”.

Whoops, we cut the size of the herd in half!

A p100 with an exhalation valve. I use a gvs eclipse because it looks the most “normal” and is light so it’s comfortable for long stretches. Got it at Lee Valley, have seen them on Amazon.

Edit: you won’t be protecting others with this mask, I’m not worried about that because I live like a hermit. If you are then follow @TrashGoblin@hexbear.net’s advice

Trust the science, Jack!

It at least can jump between animals to farm workers, and is found in raw milk (barn cats drinking raw milk caught it). The venn diagram of raw milk drinkers and COVID anti-vaxxers is pretty much a circle, so they’re not going to stop drinking raw milk and will not take any precautions to keep others safe if they do get sick.

The more infections, the more pressure for further mutations that increase spread amongst mammals, just like we saw with COVID -> omicron -> jn1.

Oh boy, pretty worried for my big Balkan boy. With a hobbled Jamal and less depth that last year, this is gonna be a tough series against the twolves. Also Ant, holy shit!

This twolves-nuggets series is gonna be so fun

Not yet, but there’s a few alternatives in the R&D pipeline. I’d think the economics of lab grown meat probably don’t make sense until a decent substitute is found, because it’s so expensive. A small bottle was like $500 when I was doing lab work.

Just passing along something that hurt my friend (and according to them, others in their circles). We also met at church so that may have played a part as well.

“lame” and “crippled/crippled by” were pointed out to me by a friend who has muscular dystrophy a few years ago, they are also both incredibly common. I’ve sadly had quite a bit of pushback when trying to correct comrades on it (even in the old r/CTH sub)

Yeah it’s not something to fuck with but we keep forcing factory farmed animals to eat animal by-products/waste, and overcrowd/stress wild animal populations.

It’s a certain protein that got misfolded, if it comes in contact with more of the original protein it causes that to also get misfolded. It can spread kinda similarly to a virus, via bodily fluids, animal-animal contact, in contaminated food/water, and by eating tainted meat in this case. Even if the deer was asymptomatic they can still spread the disease. The way the protein is folded causes it to be resistant to degradation so it can lay dormant for years or maybe decades in the environment. It causes horrifying symptoms causing deer to almost turn into zombies as their bodies waste away.

It’s even your shifter, unless you get the optional add-on button shifter (that’s located above your rearview mirror and has been falling off in the sun even with the two-sided tape Tesla service centers have provided as a “fix”)

This is the CDC doing a Friday news dump with the official press release.
