If you think about it, if unpasteurised milk was so lethal it would take the calves out.
The problem is that most people don’t drink milk straight from the cow. Milk is a good medium for growing bacteria. Trace contamination isn’t a problem when it is consumed immediately, but when there is a delay of a day or so, harmful bacteria gets a chance to multiply.
I’m not sure what the supposed benefit of raw milk is. It doesn’t taste any different and the nutritional benefits are the same. It’s probably only required for certain types of cheese.
If it’s fresh that day without being stocked it will be fine. The problem is when milk follows a distribution/industrial system being transferred from container to container. Eventually it can come in contact with one that’s not been cleaned correctly.
If you make cheese or cream make one that involves heating the milk. So hard cheese, clotted creme etc.
The process of producing soft cheese from fresh milk was a problem particularly if the producer collected milk from different producers or didn’t clean the containers he used correctly. Fresh milk of that day and consumed that day is fine and highly unlikely to be contaminated to any health threatening level.
E-coli mentioned by @Magnus is another problem all together. It comes from mammals intestines and generally infects meat when during the killing the intestine bursts and the contents infect the meat around, it is killed off from heating above 60ºC. As it doesn’t penetrate into the meat one can eat steaks rare however minced meat, burgers for example, need to be cooked through.
In France most milk for consumption is UHT/Long life. In the UK pasteurised. I’m glad of it as I live alone and don’t consume much milk so UHT is very convenient.
Over the weekend the admin announced a new $100k associated with the H1B work visa. The initial announcement claimed it applied in a way that even existing visa holders were they leave the country at any time would have to pay the fee to get back in on their current visa. But no one actually knows because these people don’t just have bad ideas they implement them like ducking morons.
Carol Leoninng (if you read anything about fuckery at the secret service in the last decade or so, it was her reporting) has published a report of a DoJ investigation into Homan accepting bribes for contracts that would be available in a trump admin was quashed by the Trump admin as soon as they came in.
They have him on tape negotiating bribes. Arguments that is was a hit job by a politicized DoJ is undercut by the fact Garland’s DoJ, correctly, did not disclose anything about the investigation’s existence. And the “law and order” party, the party who allege a principled stand against using your government position to corruptly enrich yourself (), how are they reacting? They don’t give a fuck because he’s one of the good guys.
I’ve made the point over and over again that people have such a bad gauge of what is normal and acceptable for a public official that they tend to only be able to internalize an action being a fireable offense if they hear about it as part of an uncovered secret plot. Trump’s biggest realization is that if he comes out and says “I’m doing a watergate, and it’s going to be the biggest watergate” no one gives a shit. But if we found out about this message to Bondi being sent as a private WhatsApp, sent via that channel to avoid public scrutiny, then it would traction. But this way, no one gives a shit
William (or Viljan) the Bastard, he was called. His father never married and after the death of his father, he had to spend a couple of years pacifying the great men and nobles who did not want to acknowledge his inheritance after his father. This he ruthlessly did.
Like Harald Sigurdson (Hardraada), he had a legitimate claim on the English throne from his mother’s side, after the death of Edward the Confessor.
Quoting just Harald Sigurdsons saga for brevity and simplicity.
But sure, he became the Conqueror, which someone should remind Trump, was a title given to those who invaded and took land; and successfully held it with military might and much bloodshed.
Notably, William was not a kind ruler even amongst his people, and highly unpopular for his extremely violent outburst and his petty vindictiveness (being born a bastard and having to use extremely sharp elbows to become recogniced, may have of course have had something to do with that).
Snorre does not mention his murder of his wife for no reason. You find similar stories about William killing others for petty reasons in other Chronicles written by different people.
Notably, William even broke basic warrior custom and was not considered an honourable man anywhere by anyone, as far as I know.
Anyway, super OTT, so I’ll stop now. But like milk, this was fun (to be perfectly honest, I truly appreciated the milk diversion on this thread because I learned something; which is something I myself certainly like when it happens).
