Thinking about this more, I just don’t think it’s true. I can’t find a spot on Google maps where tractor supply is the only store for miles. In America, you can drive to many shitty corporations to buy stuff, no matter where in America you are.

Is that your situation? I live pretty rural, but there’s a Walmart, Lowe’s, or home depot pretty much the same distance as tractor supply, and that’s probably the situation for most of the US. I also buy online. Mom and pop feed stores are all over the place.
For me, it’s real easy to go somewhere else.
It’s so easy to shop somewhere else, might as well.
Math doesn’t work out.
Could be that the paperwork for putting together a job ad is a pain, so they just reuse an old one. So maybe the title or position details change.
Not my claim that it’s new, I copy pasted the article
Tl;dr: A new filing in a lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims against the government of Saudi Arabia alleges that al-Qaeda had significant, indeed decisive, state support for its attacks. Officials of the Saudi government, the plaintiffs’ attorneys contend, formed and operated a network inside the United States that provided crucial assistance to the first cohort of 9/11 hijackers to enter the country.
Dolphin died March 2022, then the publisher received the manuscript in June 2023. Then review took until 10 April 2024.
More generally, they weren’t doing this in response to the recent outbreak, it was sort of a coincidence that the disease gained media attention at the same time of this paper’s publication. Academic researchers are expected to publish around 2 papers a year, and each paper tends to take a couple years.
tl;dr: it’s an academic study, not the dolphin CDC. blame the publishers and universities, not the researchers.
I’m guessing, but it’s probably because they are testing for bird flu on a long-dead dolphin via necropsy?
So named after mutated genes - thanks
No explanation of what FLiRT stands for. A+ article s/
Yeah, I had heard that too and eventually looked up the research paper and it’s bs, lil. It’s pretty much an academic paper just saying maybe they do and someone should look into it… No actual results. Not the paper fault - media spinned it.
Read the whole paper though. It has percentages. Just sayin
I read it, it’s from 2013
For the record, people claim that cat purring cures things (heals bones, for example). This is not true. There is a published academic paper claiming it, I read it, tldr it’s total garbage.
Not true. Pet cats are about a third of the problem, according to a 2013 nature paper. Feral populations vary a lot by location - some places have almost no ferals but lots of pet cats.
Sounds like new discoveries from the same folks
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers used a large, binational cohort (total n = 4,731,778) to investigate the short- and long-term associations between SARS-CoV-2 infections and subsequent adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. They used exposure-driven propensity score matching to compare their samples’ outcomes against the general population and individuals with a non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection.
Study findings revealed that COVID-19 survivors were at significantly heightened risk of developing cognitive deficits, insomnia, encephalitis, and at least four other neuropsychiatric sequelae. Specific conditions included Guillain-Barré syndrome (aHR, 4.63), cognitive deficit (aHR, 2.67), insomnia (aHR, 2.40), anxiety disorder (aHR, 2.23), encephalitis (aHR, 2.15), ischaemic stroke (aHR, 2.00), mood disorder (aHR, 1.93), and nerve/nerve root/plexus disorder (aHR, 1.47). Encouragingly, vaccination was observed to attenuate the neuropsychiatric effects of the infection
