Yes they do. Beasons is not as ultra- pasteurized as other store bought brands, plus it isn’t homogenized, unlike store bought brands. Btw, if you’re “lactose intolerant” you can drink all the raw milk you want, not to mention cheese, yogurt, butter, ice cream ect. Obviously you don’t know about any benefits, other than what you’ve googled or read.
Putting lactose intolerance in quotes was a nice touch.

The Beasons pasteurize their milk.

There’s zero benefit to drinking raw milk other than increasing your chances of getting a whole host of food borne illnesses.
Every time I see drinking raw milk brought up I think of this (trust it's readable) from Whiter Shade of Pale, the follow-up to Stuff White People Like. A couple of books from around 2010 that had me rolling, written as a guide by a white guy for "non-whites" and what they might encounter when they hang out with "us". Every stereotype you might imagine that had me howling, even those I've been/am guilty of.
A series of about 100, couple page, topics from expensive strollers to eating outside, music festivals, hardwood floors, Whole Foods and on. Highly recommend both if you enjoy a laugh at some of the things "we" do with digs at the left, right and in the middle. Needless to say Kashi cereal gets a chapter.

Firing vital personnel (weather specialists) did this.
No other way to spin it.
Lack of personnel to communicate the eminent danger to the public.
Make America a joke again.
Chuck Schumer is that you? Damn didn't know you were a Miss State. Even though I still think you're an idiot I now have little more respect for your old crusty ***.

Not gonna lie, raw milk is delicious. And the rush of not knowing which disease you’ll get is the cherry on top

What did the white Amish farmer say when his barn was too noisy?

“I can’t hear myself milk!”

Ach jah! Thank you.

Drinking raw milk is equal to drinking raw eggs.........
Raw milk way more likely to mess you up than eggs as long as you don't make it a habit of licking an unwashed eggshell fresh from a chicken. If we're being honest, drinking raw milk isn't too far disconnected from licking a cow's ***. With eggs, you at least have a shell giving some protection from fecal matter if you decided to go Rocky and down a half dozen raw.

Problem isn't the "too many false alarms / boy cried wolf."

It's the preparedness paradox. If we do a good job avoiding something - it will be perceived as not that big of a deal.

Think in football when you practice giving a look that takes away a certain play on defense, and then the opponent doesn't run that play all game. Then you think it was a waste to practice that because nothing happened with it.

A lotta *potential* to relate this scenario to Covid and how someone nuked a lot of pandemic disaster prevention things because we handle things easily. Remember Ebola being super scary? How many of us thought Covid would be like Ebola in Feb 2020?

But this shouldn't be on Trump. This should be a local Texan wake up call to invest in their own communities infrastructure and have better disaster preparedness - whatever form that needs to be. Making it a national topic is stupid.

But just like before - Texas probably won't do anything. I swear that state would burn at the stake someone pitching the idea of firefighters if they didn't already have them.

I don't really understand why a person would want raw milk when pasteurized is available. That said, I do enjoy raw oysters and I believe I've read in the last 20 years or whatever the USA has had far more deaths attributed to them than raw milk (to be clear, very very few from either).

Unfortunately this is not an SRV tribute post...

Shocked the weather gurus haven't discussed it. Death toll apparently up to 82 and will be well over 100 soon, including a bunch of little girls at a Christian summer camp. My wife and her mother both went to that camp as kids.

I've discussed this before, but I experienced flash flooding in the Texas Hill Country about 20 years ago myself. I lived on the San Gabriel River in Georgetown Texas and about 15-20 miles up river in Burnett/Marble Falls a storm classified as a "rain bomb" dropped about 20" from 11 pm to 6 am and that ditch of a river turned into the Mississippi nearly washing me away in my sleep.

I get flash flooding happens fast, but good gravy with the technology we have today our 17ing phones could shoot pepper spray and blow out our eardrums once rainfall totals start exploding if we're near a river that could flood. I mean unlike tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning, etc .. you can walk 100 yards from wherever you are near a river and be perfectly safe as long as you know you're in danger ahead of time.

FyI. These are the apartments I lived in in 07' and the river is right back where it was then... 17 Texas man. That weather is always trying to kill you.

For comparison, here's what it normally looks like...

The CEO of a weather modification technology company has confirmed that cloud seeding operations took place in Texas just two days before the deadly central Texas flood occurred.

NBC News reported that Augustus Doricko, the CEO of Rainmaker, a weather modification company, said that planes had released silver iodide in the atmosphere in Texas two days prior to the fatal floods that have claimed over 100 lives.



In the Vietnam war we used cloud seeding to flood the Ho Chi Min trail to stop supply/troop transfers from North Vietnam to South Vietnam. That is pretty widely known and in quite a few books about the Vietnam war. Not sure why this is seen as impossible, it’s old technology.

It was the remains of a tropical storm that went over the Texas Hill Country, it got some lift from the hills, and stalled. That area is known as Flash Flood Alley for a reason. See my above post from the local paper. The reason this one killed so many people and others didn't is most likely the same reason that nighttime tornadoes kill more people. It also hit on a holiday when there were likely a lot of people around who didn't really know how prone the area was to flash floods.

It seems impossible to some on here because that’s what they’ve been told. Less masculine men aren’t strong independent thinkers. Here’s the same Rainmaker CEO talking about what’s wrong with some of these guys here on Sixpack.
Btw, whoever thought to give the power to control weather to a 25 year old with a mullet was a good idea?

Water filter is a good investment.

This is absolutely comical at this point.

You get hundreds if not thousands of times more estrogen from most vegetables and legumes than you would potentially get from municipal water.

This is exactly why people should not make most of their own medical decisions.

You a vegetarian too? If you’d eat more meat, get you a good water filter system, and maybe even drink some raw milk, you’d probably end up throwing away all your gay logoed &tate garb.
