Bullcrap. Large animal vets are busy as hell and cost way too much.


Because there is a shortage of large animal vets. Our area had five  20 years ago now down to 1.5 The .5 one who is  74 years old and only goes out  to old hand picked clients.

LOL!
Are you picking on the poor fellow? Oh Noes! Sounds like someone is getting their knickers in a twist 8888crybaby. Maybe someone should introduce him to the ignore feature?

The Forbes article said very few people will be affected by Bidens capital gains tax. Every business owner out there pays for non business expenses various times through their  business. If you do not think so you are naive. My barber says every 3rd haircut he puts it in his pocket. Yes, my wife is a vet, I was born and raised on a small dairy farm and live currently on a small hobby farm,- no livestock

There is a reason why veterinarians are not going into large animal practice. Dairy and beef cattle owners are notorious for being cheap and vets cannot make money

Bullcrap. Large animal vets are busy as hell and cost way too much.

My rancher son-in-law has had to stick his entire arm in a cow’s hoohaw to pull out a calf in distress. There ain’t no time to wait for a vet. He’d lose both cow and calf. Every single cattle owner has had to do this at one time or another.
Ranchers love their cattle.  They are devoted to their cattle. Most vets in rural America understand this and will do whatever they can to assist the rancher in becoming somewhat self-sufficient.

That's right.

Computers / Re: CANBUS Sniffers?
« Last post by DB on Today at 07:21:44 pm »
I've been thinking about getting a new car - Subaru - and started doing research on all the stuff that goes into them these days.  Apparently, all the separate wiring that used to connect various sensors and devices to gauges or lights on the dash have been been replaced with a local area network - two-wire twisted wire pair - that allows the various controllers on the car to "talk" to each other.

Depending on how devices are registered onto a CANBUS, I am thinking that it might be possible to create a custom device that hardwires into the twisted-pair at some point, and if the device registration is plug-n-play, then that custom device should be able to register itself and start (a) sniffing traffic from other devices, and (b) issuing its own traffic - for example, mimicking traffic from other controllers on the CAN - which might be a handy way of permanently turning off the PoS auto start/stop feature, or at least turning it from on-by-default to off-by-default without having to remember to hit the "off" button each time one starts the car.

Sniffing the traffic on the CAN should also allow one to write one's own digital dash to get more in-depth data about functions one cares about, which might not have been displayed the way one wants on the car's built-in dash.

I doubt it is encrypted so you should be able to sniff the traffic by listening only. The tough part will be mapping out what is what as far as the messages/devices go unless there's detailed documentation somewhere for the devices in that specific car.

when all we're talking about is inseminating cattle?


Hold on now... Not the inseminating itself... Just the use of the machine.

By the way... Cows are artificially inseminated all the time by ranchers. I have done it myself, though not a lot. There's a knack. So it's specialized. But I don't recall ever hiring a vet. The service is performed without any dumbass license.

Japan (inventor of ivermectin) has the second oldest mean population (50) in the world, yet their death rate was one-sixth that of the US.  Do you think their chosen policy of using ivermectin to treat Covid cases may have had something to do with their low rate of fatalities, especially considering the median age of their population?  Or do you simply making a habit of spouting out the first thing that pops up in your head without thinking?

Ivermectin really? 

1. Japan has practically no co morbidities-very low obesity, diabetes is almost undheard of,  and a extensive health network that pays for all the citizens healthcare  with minimal out of pocket.
2. Japan has some of the highest vaccination rates of any country
3. Japanese still wear mask to this day and Asians are noted to be order followers compared to the US.
4. Japanese culture- do not shake hands, kiss or hug people out in public.
5. japanese accepted mass testing
6. Japanese already had extensve quality PPE
7. A million other reason.

Oh Bullshit.  *****rollingeyes*****

It's a glorified fish-finder.

It probably is.  But the fact remains that under current law, it's considered the practice of veterinary medicine, and they need a license to do it.  They should have been focusing on getting the law changed, and not simply thumbing their noses at it.
