Carefully cleaning the udder and teats, and very quickly refrigerating raw milk should significantly reduce the risks of bacterial contamination and growth. This is not done in most cases though, so raw milk usually carries a much higher risk of listeria.
Having had listeria once–contaminated green beans–I very much do not recommend it.
It took a porn star dying after porn makers in the 2000s forced a horse to rape a woman
Uh. You’re going to need to cite a source on that. I’m aware of a man that died after he was mounted by a horse, but AFAIK that was a case where the man was entirely willing because he some really fucked up fetishes.
This article is a very abbreviated version of the book that she recently published, “Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back”. If you want to win, you have to address the core issues that the Dems have left behind. Republicans say the right things re: jobs, but they have no follow through, and they aren’t doing anything to help reduce the anger against oligarchs. (And the right thing to do to reduce the anger would be eliminate the oligarchs.)
Thought I could/should work through discomfort and then pain at the gym, supersetting overhead push-presses and triceps dips. LOL, nope, gave myself a labral tear and tore my supraspinatus. My shoulder now has an unpleasant popping feeling + significantly less strength when I’m doing anything like a bench press with my elbows properly tucked; I’ll likely never be able to do narrow grip bench press or triceps dips again.
Why was this dumb? Because I was a personal trainer, and I fucking know better than to try and push through pain. But I was trying to get back into lifting seriously after losing a lot of time to the pandemic.
Well, shit. I hadn’t known about Inquisition. I think the last time I saw them was something like 2016? At least I only have the one t-shirt. :(
I haven’t heard anything about Agalloch; what’s going on there?
Gov’t funded doesn’t drop the cost that much. Countries in the west that are single-payer and/or have national/socialized healthcare systems pay between 1/5 and 2/3 of what we do per capita, on average. It might be better in countries where the entire supply chain is subject to price controls (e…g., China), but I don’t know. But, regardless, if our system cost 20% of what it does now, or $900B, $3B would still be only .3% of the entire expenditure. Part of the problem is that, as far as western countries go, the US is just big. The population of Israel is estimated to be about 9.5M, compared to 340M or so for the US.
Again, to be clear: I’m not suggesting that we should be giving–or selling–Israel anything at this point.
Jesus fuck. You argue that the tyranny of the majority doesn’t exist, and when I prove that it does, with examples, you block. You can’t even cite anything to justify your position.
What the shit, my dude.
Yes, $24B, sorry.
If they spent $24.00 on their own defense, and the US gave them $3B, then, uh, they’d be 100% dependent on the US.
You think you’re doing that. But are you? Or are things happening below the threshold of your consciousness, and your conscious brain thinks that it’s the one running the show? Consciousness would be like the toddler with the toy steering wheel that thinks it’s driving the car.
The serious and obvious answer is: perhaps we’re wrong in our definition of ‘good’. If you start with the assumption that god creates and defines morality–which is where a lot of christians start–then if god were to do something ‘evil’, then we’re the ones that are wrong in how we’re perceiving and defining it.
The underlying assumption is that what we think is good must be mirrored by what a god thinks is good.
It’s so wild that girls would be hot for someone from Slipknot, but did Beefcake the Mighty or Jizzmak the Gusher ever get any fangirls? No. (Oderus, on the other hand… I guess the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu was what all the girls really wanted.)
Well, Armin Meiwes went to prison for that, so…
I wouldn’t say justified, buuuuuuuuuut where else could he have gone? China is about the only other possibility.
To be clear, I think he should be pardoned, and thing USA-Patriot act should be overturned.
It wouldn’t even be noticeable. We spend a total of about $4.5 trillion [EDIT: on healthcare]; $3B is 0.07% of that total.
And, BTW, we have terrible outcomes for how much we spend.
They won’t; sponsored by the big capital
Yes, but that doesn’t mean they can’t get away from it. Sanders managed to run very strong presidential primary campaigns, twice, and almost all of his funding was from individual donors giving his campaign under $100 each.
Dems could do this, if leadership had the will.
3rd parties can’t, or they can’t yet, because none of them have put in sufficient work at a grassroots level yet to consistently win places on state legislatures, much less federally.
You are arguing in favor of being a slave with no rights because JKR paid to have a law passed.
No, what I specifically said was that we shouldn’t follow the will of the majority in all things, because the majority can and does act in tyrannical ways. Meanwhile, you’re insisting that letting everyone always vote on every single thing would somehow result in a utopia.
Here’s the thing: I live in the rural south. Our local high school has one transgender student. The superintendent consulted with an attorney, and then let the student us the bathroom of the gender that they identify with. The community as a whole fucking lost their minds. The school board held a public meeting about it where they explained why they took the steps they did, and then they let community members speak. In a town of 5k people, there were over 500 people attending. They cut off comments after three hours. It was roughly 10:1 against treating this poor girl like a girl.
If they’d taken a vote that very day, she would have been run out of town on a rail covered in tar and feathers, because the town is full of bigoted evangelical christians. But you think that people should always get to vote on everything, even when they have zero real knowledge about the subject? That’s absolute nonsense.
The places in then world where people vote on policy are the objectively safest for trans people.
Okay, and right fucking now those countries are voting for people that have explicitly told them that they’re going to clamp down on trans rights, and then those people are doing it. So the countries where people vote are becoming less safe for trans people, even if it’s still safer than being transgender in, say, Iran.
If the unconscious mind is making the decisions prior to cognition about the thing, how could our will alone affect it? It seems more likely that things outside of our direct control are changing how we are acting, and then the conscious part of ourselves creates the reason that we acted in a specific way.
This is both true, and not entirely accurate.
Israel spends something like $24 on their defense. The $3B that the the US gives them (and it’s $3B, not $4B, based on what I can find) is largely in the form of military materials: ammunition, bombs, air defense systems, etc. So what we give them is about 20% of their total defense spend, and yeah, that’s a lot.
But the flip side of that is that American workers in American factories are the ones building the bombs, missiles defense systems, making the bullets, etc.; the money that the gov’t gives Israel ends up creating a benefit for workers in the form of work that wouldn’t otherwise exist. I’d have to see a real economic analysis, but this might be a case of each dollar that the gov’t spends creating more than a dollar of effect. (And yeah, I know that a lot of that effect is going to e.g. Raytheon shareholders rather than line workers. But still.)
BUT
The fact that we see an economic benefit in terms of jobs and growth by giving Israel aid doesn’t mean we should. Because we’re directly funding the genocide of the Palestinians.
No, he paid $200,000 for that piece of shit. Right now a new one should be about $70k, which is still $70k for a turd floating in a punch bowl, but is also $130,000 less than what he paid.
The totenkopf most strongly associated with white supremacists is a 3/4 view with crossed bones behind it. A skull by itself doesn’t have a ton of meaning; could just mean that the person is goth. The image used in the chart doesn’t look like the symbol most commonly used by white supremacists.
The wolfsangel symbol isn’t correct; I don’t know what that symbol is, but it’s not a wolfsangel. A wolfsangel looks like a Z with a crossbar in the middle.
That should be written as an oþala rune; the ‘þ’ isn’t a ‘d’ sound, it’s a form of the ‘th’ sound, along with ‘ð’. As with all other runes, it’s essentially just an alphabet letter. When used by white supremacists, it usually has the ends turned up, but not always.
There are other symbols that get used by white supremacists, but these are the most common.
