It's highly market-senstive what happens to them, but I have previously worked on dairy farms in NZ and AU, and in both countries, calves(except replacement heifers) that get raised at all are a rounding error, maybe a handful per farm that are kept for personal slaughter and consumption.

If the bobby-calf (aka veal) market is paying well enough, then they are shipped off for slaughter at ~4 days old. If the market doesnt pay well enough to justify 4 days of rearing costs, then they are killed immediately and sold for their skins.

That number moves much closer to 0% if you start counting the baby cows killed in order to keep their mothers perpetually lactating, rather than just those whose bodies were used as a direct ingredient.

A cow will be impregnated 6-8 times during her life on a typical dairy farm, before she is killed af half her natural lifespan to be replaced by a younger cow. One of those baby cows will be raised as that replacement cow, the rest will be killed shortly after birth.

Killing baby cows is an inherent part of cow-milk production.

Dont forget hiding in the bushes with the boys, catching the sun in a net, then beating the fuck out of it until it promised to slow down and give us a reasonable day length.

Download iso

Load iso onto usb.

Insert usb into machine.

Spam del and all f-keys on boot because for some reason there is no standard 'enter bios' key.

Ensure usb boot is enabled and higher priority than internal disk.

Restart.

Follow simple installer guide.

I would like to see the tests results, and the datasets used to calibrate them before believing them. This entire article shouts "trust us, we did science" without actually sharing any of the results or the methods used to obtain them.

That's not how science works. Show us your methodology.

Edit: just had a read of the Source Certain website to see if the actual methodology is listed there somewhere, and not only do they have no useful information at all, they claim to use "proprietary science", aka, not science, because there is no peer review.

I used to love this game as a kid. Tried to return to it a few years later though and found it was one of those 'game speed = cpu speed' setups which was unplayably fast on my new 800mhz machine. I should track down an emulator for it...

I very much agree. Also, in a lot of places, that indicator on your license is not legally binding, the decision still comes down to your next of kin.

A system where everyone is a donor by default, but can opt out in a low-effort manner such as sending off a signed declaration, would still allow those with a genuine desire not to be donors the ability to do so, but would greatly increase the donor pool by capturing the majority of indifferent people who simply have not made the effort to opt in.

If you know exactly where you're going, and the path is not itself in flame, and the residual heat+smoke have not yet rendered both your path and your patient's current location unsurvivable, then it is possible.

The movie trope of covering your mouth with a rag and walking through rooms which are actively on fire, trying to find someone who has been inside that same room getting asphyxiated and/or cooked for several minutes is most definitely not real.
