When H5N1 avian influenza started spreading among dairy cattle across the U.S. this year, regulators warned against consuming unpasteurized milk. What happened? Raw milk sales went up.

Distributors of this unsafe-for-human-consumption product deny H5N1—which has the potential to sicken millions of people—is a danger. Dairy farmers decline to allow disease detectives onto their properties.

    I got a shattaf (handheld bidet sprayer) at the start of the last pandemic. It’s incredible. It’s easy to install for a renter, and is so much cleaner than tp. Only downside is it’s cold water unless you run a second line from your sink’s hot water line.

      I always wanted to try one of those things, but I don’t want to install one. I also want one with a remote control that has a range of at least 7 yards.

        It’s super easy to install.

        Close the water feed valve, flush the toilet, disconnect the feed line from the tank, connect the Y adapter valve to the tank, reconnect the feed line, open the water valve.

        It took me ~15 minutes to install and had a towel’s worth of clean water spillage to clean up.

          My took me about 4 hours to install. But I needed to run an outlet with a ground fault outlet for mine. But the water tap is dead easy.

        My buddy has one that shoots a literal vortex straight up your asshole. Amazing.

        You can get ones that auto magically lift the lid with motion sensor. Add in a heated seat and by the time you get your panties down it’s nice and cozy.

      The bidet is the way. I’ve used one for so long that I hardly ever notice the cold water.

        That sounds nice. I wish they were standard in the US. Does it just connect to the faucet or does a line run into the sink cabinet?

            Yes! I’ve seen those. I’m very envious. As a renter, I’m not allowed to cut the necessary hole in the sink cabinet to access the warm water line, since it’s not exposed like yours. If I owned my home, you can be sure I’d install one before I started painting. Lol

            Thank you for taking the time to find and take the photos!

        I bought a bidet with all the goodies - heated seat, heated water, heated air drier, charcoal air filtration, select-able sprays from elderly/small child gentle to peel the paint off your arse, and automatic seat raising. All temperatures can be adjusted to your personal comfort.

        Worth every penny…Trump can keep his gold plated toilet. I crap like a King!
