Lots of people discover that money is a social construct and think they've stumbled onto some kind of earth-shattering revelation.

"People get confused sometimes they think an economy is money. Money is a database for exchange of goods & services. Money doesn't have power in & of itself. The actual economy is goods & services"

🐙 This sweet octopus likes to go to the nearshore to receive cuddles from children in Sardinia, Italy. Please don’t eat these highly intelligent fascinating animals. It’s a small step for you but it means everything for the octopus.

No.2 白帯病、白帯炎 蹄壁組織が剥がれ亀裂が炎症します。 これを防ぐには滑走を防ぐ事です。 古いコンクリートやエッジの無い溝では牛が滑ってしまい、踏ん張った時に白帯が剥離します。 牛のハンドリングも重要で、荒い牛追い、ホールディングエリアで無理なクラウドゲートの操作なども発症原因となります。 発情で乗られたりも可能性があるので 100%防ぐ事は出来ませんが 床の状態、ハンドリングなどを見直す事で白帯炎は減らす事が出来ます。

Heat record smashed today. 28C or 82.4F is not seasonal for the Ottawa/Arnprior area but we’ll be back to normal next week. Enjoying it while we can. 😁
