Why not just start with that in the first place?Look at that, 900F for several hours. Still don’t care. I eat rabbits and wild hogs too.
Regarding the rapid test, I would say people just need to push for it. Voice opinions and let it be known that we care deeply. I’m not hearing a lot of “doesn’t bother me” and frankly I’m a little surprised but I am new to this forum.
Yeah the ones eating my tomato plants got me thinking about that too. Really wish we could figure out the role of the misfolded protein and if it’s actually novel or just something that has always been around and serves an evolutionary purpose. If it’s the latter, still would want to be cautious since we as humans are way beyond anything natural. Mother Nature is definitely looking at ways to get us in check.We don't even have a lyme vax at the moment and think of how many more people are directly affected by that.
I'll preface this by saying I'm not by any means a conspiracy theorist. But the scary thing about prion diseases (big if), if they truly are transmissible at minute quantities, you wouldn't even need to eat infected meat. Prions can persist for years and years. CWD deer eats some soybeans and corn and salivates his prions all over it. That goes to market and down the supply chain. CWD deer pisses in a field and those prions persist in the soil and the future plants take them up. Now the entire food system is at risk. That's all plausible based on theoretical prion studies, and we haven't a clue how prions work with our immune system and such. The potential problem is much greater than a bunch of rednecks eating game meat. We're just the canaries in the mine.
It’s the having kids and not having a good fallback support system that makes it have a new meaning. Easy to say “extend the security” harder to accomplish.Weird thought.
Death is something I can be at peace with. If I were to die in my sleep tonight, my wife would be ok thanks to insurance, savings, and well-maintained family/friend relationships. If we have kids we'll do what we can to make sure that security extends to them.
I'm not remotely worried about any concept of an afterlife. The only thing that keeps me up at night is the idea of having to suffer through something I'd rather not because "life is precious" and "suicide is wrong." I sincerely hope voluntary euthanasia becomes a thing before I'm old.
