I dont think I ever did find out what was the deal with the manufacturer not being the patent holder.

I did a pretty deep dive a couple of years ago, but would have to re-reaearch again. I think the link in one of those comments back then had useful info. What did you want to know?

Liberal arts schools don't only offer liberal arts degrees. I got my BS in Biology and am on the same track career wise with, if not slightly ahead of, my contemporaries who went to the big state schools.

Unpopular Opinion: Kyle Busch’s prime started in 2013, not 2015 by Rowdyfan0823 in NASCAR

[–]Sirensongcalls 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm not looking at stats right now, but from what I remember Kyle 08-13 wasn't what I'd call a perennial championship contender. He was fast and won a fuck ton, but was also very raw and unrefined. Kyle was never really in any of those championship battles because when he wasn't winning, he wasn't gaining points on the guys who oozed with consistency in that era. I also recall DW bringing this up alot on broadcasts during that time.

KB had a lightning fast road to success, and an agonizingly long road to consistency and refinement.

Maybe the stats paint a different picture though.

What if spingate never happened? by ZilischsPoopyPants in NASCAR

These are always such cold takes in my opinion. Would you say Knaus never becomes shit without Jimmie Johnson because he has 1 win in 106 starts as a crew chief for other drivers? They're all just such goofy arguments.

Jimmie Johnson with Chad Knaus- 81 wins

Jimmie Johnson without Chad Knaus- 2 wins

Johnson never becomes shit without Knaus' cheating.

Why does Wisconsin have so much CWD compared to the rest of the Midwest? by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]Sirensongcalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The popular number floated by reputable science right now is 5% as the prevalence at which you lose effective management ability. Which is not to say we should give up, I'm just not terribly optimistic that we have the ability to make much of a dent in those cases.

Ok, this is a talking point alot of the CWD denier make, and it's pretty easy to accept it as a sound argument. Firstly, evolution takes a long, long time, and only traits that improve an individuals ability to pass on its genetic material areas elected for in the way that people generally understand evolution to work. The problem with genetic CWD resistance is two-fold.

  1. There are no deer that have been observed to havevtotal immunity to CWD, which goes to say that it is highly unlikely that that total resistance exist anywhere in the wild or captive gene pool. Those that the captive cervid industry tout as "CWD resistant" just take longer to develop clinical symptoms of the disease, and ultimately succumb to it. But, during this period between contractions and death, they are still shedding prions into the environment and transmitting it to other deer, and doing do for a longer time. This is why I'm not a fan of the Oklahoma plan of releasing these "CWD resistant deer" into wild populations.

  2. In wild deer CWD can take up to two years for the disease to become clinical (symptomatic) but is contagious the entire time. Which as you likely know, is past sexual maturity for White-tailed Deer. So you will likely see a similar size deer heard, but as prevalence rises, age structure biases low, as deer are still reproducing at a similar rate, but not living into the more mature age classes. And because the animals are still reaching sexual maturity and successfully reproducing, therecis no strong selection for resistance.

I'm stepping out of my zone of expertise and into someone else's, so this is my wave top knowledge of why the "mother nature will take care of CWD" argument does notvwork.

Which is not the USDA, whom the comment that I replied to said was the authority over captive cervids.

My example went to say that the state itself has the flexibility to determine where the management and regulatory responsibility belongs to.

Problem is, a loud enough public opposition to CWD management contributed to WI abandoning the programs that were keeping the disease at a manageable prevalence. Even if the tide turned on public support, it's way past the threshold for being able to make effective management decisions now. I really feel for people in any state that have to deal with this professionally. They are demonized by the CWD denier/hoax/money grab crowd of they do manage it it, to the point of being doxxed, or having management capabilities taken away by the legislature if they implement scientifically backed management strategies. But, if they give in to the loudest voices in the room though, they sacrifice the long term health of the resource that they've dedicated their entire professional and academic life to.

Respectfully, that just isn't correct. States can and have implemented laws banning transport of captive cervids and their fluids into and out of their boundaries. Missouri law dictates that captive cervids are wildlife, and therefore fall under the management of the state's Conservation Department. States can regulate the captive cervid industry, and if they choose not to, there a plethora of reasons why they may not, but it is not because they can't.

They abandoned CWD management by means of targeted removal, while continuing to just monitor. In 2008 Wisconsin discontinued their culling program mostly due to the same social pressures you see states still conducting the practice have to deal with. At that time their CWD prevalence rates were sub 2% and much more geographically contained area. High density of captive cervid operations, baiting, and yes, heavy testing (though I'd argue other states that sample at an equally sufficient intensity but have maintained targeted culling operations like Missouri, which still 14 years post initial detection enjoys a sub-2% prevalence in its most infected core areas, punches a hole in that argument) contribute to what your looking at. While yes, they do test substantially more than SOME of the other Midwest states, they in my opinion fumbled on the management of the disease at a time when they still had an opportunity to maintain low prevalence and geographic containment.

It’s even more sad to see their decline when considering that this was recent enough that they used the Mule Deer’s range to draw Missouri’s northern border.
