dude's been struggling to put up his [$3000] CyberTent for nearly an hour
  • I will never understand truck tents. Tents are awesome, lower cost, standalone structure. There's a lot to love about tents. The downsides are, no amenities like A/C or plumbing, and you are on the ground (relevant if there are lions or whatever to worry about I guess).

    If you have a truck tent, you give up lower cost and standalone structure. I guess you might get A/C as a benefit but you'll be breathing exhaust from your truck (assuming it's a non-bazinga truck). Since it's not standalone, if you need to run into town for hot dogs or drive to a trail head, you have to pack up your tent. Also even with a large sized truck bed it's a pretty small footprint as far as tents go.

  • Limited testing of raw milk for bird flu leaves safety questions unanswered

    Archive

    >The USDA-approved lab authorized to test the milk for the H5N1 bird flu virus called the farms to seek their permission to examine the milk, then also declined to test the milk for bird flu when the farmers did not grant it. > >“[The farms] are aware of what a nonnegative test would do to their business,” said Brandon Dominguez, the Veterinary Services Section Head at the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic laboratory in College Station, Texas. “They asked that we do not run the test.” > >After NPR reported that the USDA had confirmed the agency does not require labs to have permission from farms to test milk samples for bird flu, Amy Swinford, the director of the Texas A&M lab, added that another reason the lab could not perform the test is that reporters did not provide the premise identification numbers for each of the farms. Those numbers are not publicly available; reporters did include the license numbers of each of the farms when they submitted samples for testing. > >The lab and the farms’ refusal to test samples of raw milk comes as scientists have criticized the federal government for being slow to collect and report information about the virus. There has been no widespread testing of dairy workers to understand how many may be infected, no mandate that dairy farms test their herds if they aren’t moving cattle between states, and no clear testing data to support federal authorities’ warnings of a potential threat of bird flu in raw milk that people drink.

    Head in the sand: what could go wrong?

  • This level of slop makes me sometimes wonder what context the author is operating in. Like is this a Sunday night "oh shit I need something for deadline" or did they spend a couple days on this?

    I hope this is Brendan quiet quitting. Minimum effort. "Greta is a land of contrasts" level shit. But, he's probably worked on this for awhile.

  • Democratic congressmen unveil bill to rename a federal prison after Trump
    web.archive.org Democratic congressmen unveil bill to rename a federal prison after Trump

    The measure comes in response to a group of Republicans introducing a bill to rename Dulles airport after the former president and presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

    Nice to see US leadership continue to work on things that matter.
