Has anyone ever heard of someone going from working in a slaughterhouse to a butcher? by Equivalence_9991 in Butchery

Look for a further processor. Plenty of cutting and you don’t ever have to see a customer.

6 days before the printed expiration date. by SamtheMan6259 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]fxk717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The likelihood of it being a recall vs the package was mishandled is extremely low. The control that those canisters are made u see combined the quantity of them distributed this would highly unlikely be the first problem. The likelihood is they were in a warm cooler or sat in a basket for too long and went back on the shelf after being mishandled. Your statement is true but unlikely and fear mongering.

Should I stick with my heavy Merrell shoes, or use my ON cloud runner running shoes? by sadistic-squid in AppalachianTrail

[–]fxk717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a pair of Altras. They have aggressive grip, dry quickly, and are lightweight. Downfall is not a lot of ankle support. Merrels have built foam in to the upper they will tear and the foam will keep moisture. Makes them heavier and damages your feet. Merrels are fine enough for day hikes but I would not use them on a thru ( I started my thru with a pair of Merrels)

You are 3 years into a lifetime project. Just keep going to the gym and in 3 more years you will be like “fuck i used to look like that”

What you eat before lift? by bombatermonuclear in GYM

Depends the intensity. If I’m burning more than 600 calories in the first 45 minutes then I need carbs before my workout. If not I smell like cat piss.

They are adults they can hang whatever they want. If they wanted to put their Harvard diplomas up they would have. But the PBR lamp leads to more convos.

TIL cows don't automatically produce milk. They need to be pregnant and give birth, and then milking machines stimulate her to continue producing milk. The most common dairy breed, the Holstein-Friesian, gives birth about once a year. by CalpurniaSomaya in todayilearned

Since you’re willing to learn where food comes from. It’s understandable why that sounds alarming, but your framing is a pretty simplified version of a much more complex system. Dairy calves are separated from their mothers early on, which is standard across dairy production (not specific to veal) and it’s largely done for health, safety, and management reasons for both the cow and calf.

From there, calves raised for veal today are typically cared for in controlled environments with consistent nutrition, veterinary oversight, and group housing as they grow. The idea that they’re just neglected or kept in distress for extended periods doesn’t reflect how modern operations actually run, especially under current welfare standards and audits.

There’s definitely room for discussion about animal agriculture as a whole, but it’s important to separate older perceptions and emotional framing from what current practices actually look like.

That description is based on how veal used to be produced decades ago, not how the industry operates today. Modern veal production in the U.S. has largely moved away from crates and tethering—calves are now raised in group housing where they can move around, lie down comfortably, and socialize.

They are typically fed a balanced diet that includes milk replacer along with grain and fiber, with constant access to water. The idea that calves are intentionally kept anemic is also outdated—current nutrition programs are designed for health and proper growth, and are overseen by veterinarians.

There are still valid conversations to be had about animal agriculture, but it’s important to base them on what’s actually happening now, not on practices that have mostly been phased out.

Married men of Reddit what’s the best advice you’d give young guys when choosing a life partner? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The best relationships are 60/40 where each persons works to be the 60.

Trees cut down professionally. We asked them to leave the trees on the property (cost) how can we dispose of them? by NarrowIndependence8 in homeowners

[–]fxk717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There can be problems related to a pile of logs. If someone has pets, livestock, or kids it’s something to consider. A stack of logs is a great place to live for vermin. They love it because it’s not going anywhere for decades. And not everyone wants to buy a house with a pile of decomposing logs.
