@JohnKicinski3 @PeterSweden7 Over 277,000 housing starts in Oct in Canada alone! No one ever talks about how electric supply will handle new housing starts, but as soon as we talk EVs the fossil fuel industry lovers say we will never be able to supply the electric needs for all the “future EVs”. I call BS.

@BoehringerCA_AH No surprises. Karen has had an amazing career and worked hard to improve bovine welfare. Congratulations Karen.

@tara_m_davidson We did research on this (oral distraction) with Don Finley, from Australia, where they use this device. It lowered heart rate and headgate struggle (quantified by strain gauges) during freeze branding -compared to controls. Would recommend it is useful during painful procedures.

This is exactly why it is insane to let everyone carry guns. Just be thankful another “hero” didn’t take out a “hero” who just took out a “hero” who took out a “bad guy”. Then police could have shot the last hero and stopped a mass shooting. Right?? https://t.co/WlC6Mqpkgc

OK. I really need to know. How does a computer algorithm select only nice pics from my phone photo album (of family, sunsets, cattle) like pic on right, and show as memories, but never photos of a part or screw I need to pick up in city, when all types of pics are in the album?

Stop weaning #calves on #livestock trailers
The gradual weaning of calves on the #farm reduces #stress and increases #producer profits.

there's always some story like "people are suffering because milk went up 5 cents" and never "we have to budget for milk because our rent went up $500, our health care is $10,000/year, my kids' college fund requires $100k and every house in our budget is now $100k more expensive"

[Joe Stookey @StookeyJoe]

I’ve been saying this for years. Glad to hear others talk about the merits of less stressful weaning methods. Stop weaning calves on livestock trailers!! https://t.co/gqeZsiJfHv

@RobSomerville1 Sad to see we are in that “exceptional drought area, but it was obvious without looking at a map. It depressing.

If trick-or-treating worked like capitalism:
1 kid gets all the candy
He gives a few kids 1 M&M each and is called a generous philanthropist
Other kids ask why they're candy-less & are called lazy
He retires from Halloween & writes laws to ensure he gets unlimited candy for life

See some of the faces that are receiving the 200 million U.S.-donated #COVID19 vaccines 💉. They are impacting people like T. Zelme from Mongolia🇲🇳, Bijuli from Nepal🇳🇵, and Moloi Moloi, a factory worker in Lesotho🇱🇸.

This is the Japanese Puffer Fish - one of #nature's greatest artists. To grab a female’s attention he creates something that defies belief.

Nature is more amazing than we will ever know. Protect it in all its forms.

What brand of flu shot are we all getting and what are all the ingredients in alphabetical order and how proven is it and is there maybe a cat flea medication or aquarium algae removing chemical we could try instead
