    You mean like a nuclear melt down ?

    No, like a explosion of uncontrolled fission caused by hot uranium mixing in water.  Or something.

    Regardless of any chemical reaction, all that hot radioactive material would definitely get thrown up in the air and go all over most of Europe.  Friend and foe alike would fair poorly.

  2. I started out making fun of the incompetence of those people.  "Just kick the dog real hard!"  But when they stafted hitting it (kinda hard) he showed how tenacious he is.

    Still, though.  Mag Lite, tire iron, 9mm.  That dog shoulda died 30 seconds in.

  3. I had to buy some otc drug the other day.  Walgreens, cvs and Kroger had it for $28.  Amazon had it for $21 with a 1 day delivery.  I was cool waiting one day to save $7.  
    I assume that the brick and mortar stores either can’t compete in price and they hope for ignorant shoppers.  
    And there's a flip side. I went to Menards Sunday looking for steel pegboard. They didn't have it. I hate shopping so in the pickup, I bought it on Amazon. I have no idea if it was cheaper, more expensive or what.

    Mighta paid somewhat more than brick and mortar. Don't care. Clicked the link and bought it.
  4. Also, Smithfield really cranked up the protocols for custom farrowers on disease. You’re shower in, shower out, and change clothes building to building even if their connected. The Maschoffs have changed anything on custom finishers yet though.
    ASF in the US will be the unstoppable cannonball hitting the unmovable post. An incredibly virulent, fatal disease vs the best biosecurity we can do. And NOBODY knows who'll win that one.

  6. They've been taking pork at a good clip the last few weeks. On the tariff front, Smithfield is owned by a Chinese state owned company, so it probably comes out in the wash. 
    And they're importing corn into South Carolina to feed them.
  7. Did not watch, but not sure that a bolt stunner kills viruses.  Fire does.  Sometimes.  
    Wouldn't be as fast, and would be rather messy. "Leaking" bodies leak germs.
    with the tariffs, is China importing any US pork right now?
    I saw something on TV about this (maybe VICE) and the Chinese were acting like it was pretty much already contained, lol.  Lots of road closures trying to stop the spread of the disease.  I think they said it had reached HK as well.
    They're importing some, I believe. Because they have to. The international trade on frozen pork is rather small.
