    Antithetical to Science

    If I was writing a fiction novel I would have an employee of the lab sell an animal used for testing at the market for extra cash instead of properly following protocol to destroy it. The employee contracts the disease and any 1st hand evidence is forever unrecoverable. Rinse and repeat for...

    Hundreds of thousands of gallons of manure spill into a pair of northwest Iowa creeks, DNR officials report

    There was a lawsuit in the 90s Iowa counties lost over the local board of supervisors in each county's right to deny building permits for livestock facilities. Land O Lakes paid for it. Unless it has changed the only environmental test is a dnr permit for the manure storage and I believe if it...

    Hundreds of thousands of gallons of manure spill into a pair of northwest Iowa creeks, DNR officials report

    Countryside Bar-B-Q sauce is actually made a few miles up the highway. A very Iowan sandwich or crockpot choice.

    Hundreds of thousands of gallons of manure spill into a pair of northwest Iowa creeks, DNR officials report

    That is a you tube video of an organic dairy spreading their manure with an umbilical. 3.5 million gallons 4.5 miles away.

    Hundreds of thousands of gallons of manure spill into a pair of northwest Iowa creeks, DNR officials report

    Accidents also happen. The custom manure guys sometimes run around the clock in shifts. I drove over both the creek and the river mentioned today just before 5 and there were numerous operations spreading at various sites. There is a very small window when ground conditions are fit prior to...

    Hundreds of thousands of gallons of manure spill into a pair of northwest Iowa creeks, DNR officials report

    Well I wasn't there but the area near there is gently rolling so there would be creeks around. Exactly where the farm was or it's topography is not discussed.

    Hundreds of thousands of gallons of manure spill into a pair of northwest Iowa creeks, DNR officials report

    It likely was an 8" or 10" hose at 200 psi. They run them a couple miles so the hose break was not probably near the pump or where they were spreading. They thread them under roads in drainage culverts sometimes. No idea if that was what they had done here. A drainage culvert would typically...

    An umbilical is a supersized garden hose...there literally is no tank.

    State Trooper killed in Grundy Center last night

    Yeah there is no respectful reason to openly bear arms 'asserting ones rights.' Open carry is essentially brandishing if you are not law enforcement. Concealed carry especially with safety training re drawing a weapon is within appropriate civil behavior.

    State Trooper killed in Grundy Center last night

    Knowing how to properly handle and respect a loaded weapon is not threatening the situations where it is appropriate to be disarmed or the right of others (often law enforcement) to know you are armed. Owning unloaded in a safe is far different than walking through a grocery store with a 12...

    When Did Anti-Vaccine Sentiment Become So High?

    He was more vocally supportive of the experimental therapy that shortened his covid symptoms. Of course this was part of the we have nothing to fear from covid narrative he pushed prior to vaccine success leaks that came the weeks after the election.

    When Did Anti-Vaccine Sentiment Become So High?

    Yesterday someone I was in a room with made the comment 'You know there is aborted baby cells in the vaccine' directly after saying they were going to pass on getting it.

    Manchin crushes more liberal dreams

    Yet the pragmatic Democrat Senators will not go after him because without him Mitch would have full control to obstruct everything. He is by far the lesser of two evils to a Biden agenda.

    Crowded country? That's news to mostly empty Iowa

    The livestock industry will always attract illegals. Some of the rental housing in the communities those workers live in is pretty rough. All in all the conditions they deal with says a lot about what they left to be here for. There are some solid ethnic grocery stores and restaurants in some...

    Pay off house early?

    You still are better off putting the extra mortgage payment you propose into the IRA and just set up an auto withdraw/payment between the mortgage and IRA once it is tax free eligible until the original 15 year term is completed. Just look at the IRA as a job instead of a piggy bank. Your...

    WaPo: Biden plans $3 trillion infrastructure plan that includes nation-wide electric charging stations, universal pre-k, and free community college

    Utility rates vary from region to region also. Areas with poor sun or wind resources often have high rates so renewable installations are profitable but comparatively unproductive to other regions.

    Iowa Poll: Majority of Iowans oppose fewer days to request, cast absentee ballots; bill doing that is now law

    Changing the hours and days available to vote surely will have no effect on fraud or suspected fraud. Pointless changes.

    If you can work from anywhere, work from Iowa, Gov. Kim Reynolds says.

    I know quite a few who worked remote from a long term airbnb out of state.

    Iowa Poll: Majority of Iowans oppose fewer days to request, cast absentee ballots; bill doing that is now law

    I voted during the days they are taking away because I was completely tired of all the political ads and mailers by then. It felt good to have it as an errand done and over with vs an appointment where anything could come up to interfere with it being easy.
