re: Tell me your west nile stories
Posted by DonJuanDaMiles on 8/31/26 at 2:30 pm to madamsquirrel
My only story is that we have over 120 sentinel chicken flocks in California over 20+ counties as a surveillance measure for west Nile. I’m trying to get attached to that research for other disease monitoring and testing of dead’s.
I think someone has to go out and bleed the chickens every so often. There’s a public facing GIS map for it. Maybe there’s one for your area as well.

Sirloin Steak
Posted by DonJuanDaMiles on 8/31/26 at 12:27 pm
I saw some posts about people loving sirloin, so I decided to try it. Been a NY strip and Ribeye guy my whole life.
Cut from a whole cap, dry brined on a rack in the fridge for 4 hours, let it come up to room temperature before grilling in direct heat until 120 and rested to 125. It was very good and tender.
Thank you for the recommendation!

Got to yell Geaux Tigers to a young man rocking an LSU sweater. Is Kristy’s in Point Loma still an LSU bar?

Depends on what I’m doing but I “deploy” to anywhere in California, and very rarely an EMAC to another state. Like hurricane Katrina, a lot of people came from other states to do USAR (search and rescue) and be a part of the incident management team (IMT).
I’m certified as an Operations and Logistics section chief for all hazards. I’m working to get on a type 1 team meaning I could “deploy” to anywhere in the country.
Most of the time I’m working on responding to animal disease or infestation outbreaks.

re: Any advice on conserving codex/Claude code tokens?
Posted by DonJuanDaMiles on 8/27/26 at 10:37 pm to CAD703X
There’s some skills you can load that will help with that. Before I started customizing my Claude, I would run into similar issues. Also, I’ll try and find the prompt I made to cut all that shite out.
Now I’m coding with Claude and I’ve built 3 apps and I can code for a couple hours before I hit a usage limit. I’ll even code and run cowork stuff for my classes or projects I’m working on.
Next thing I’m going to try is connecting Claude with arcGIS.

I’ve acquired some interesting ones. I have a baobab and just recently got 13 more fruit trees. Mostly figs, pomegranates, and citrus. Going to pick up some scions in February and start grafting trees with multiple fruit species.
Magnolias, live oaks, jacarandas, dogwoods are all favorites. Big wisteria trees are cool too. Any tree that flowers purple has always been a favorite of mine since my love of lsu began.

Dude, I can’t buy cough medicine without proffering my ID and signing a registry… which I think is bullshite- but the fact is regulation is a fact of life, like it or not, and so long as freedom only rings under certain acceptable conditions, then down with pibbles.
Try buying a Red Bull, underwear, or undershirts anywhere in the Central Valley in California. I get it. But you’re saying regulation is acceptable but you won’t regulate pitbulls? Doing away with all of something isn’t regulation. So, you’re not really making a good comparison.
You still can buy cough medicine. And you call that freedom, but you want to infringe on someone else’s freedom? It doesn’t work like that.

The thing is though... it's NOT just the breed or mutt arse pibble, it's the propensity of absolute trash that owns them.
Is this not the same exact thing me and other people have been saying?!
Shoot the owners. I don’t give a shite. But don’t kill actual good dogs and punish good owners. Same exact shite as guns.
I don’t want to pay for other people’s sins. No one does.

No, just pibbles. There's a shite ton of gun control, try a different argument.
Even applied to pitbulls, that’s like 30 different breeds of dogs and what percent are actually attacking people.
You calling it a dumb argument is the point and I’m surprised you haven’t caught on because you guys are the ones making that gun control argument. Ban assault rifles! Those are the ones that are violent and kill people. That’s what you all sound like, and then the denial and ignorance is the cherry on top.
As you were.

why is it so important to you to have a pit bull? what does it provide to you that some other breed does not? just curious I would personally opt for a different breed knowing that these dogs are potentially more dangerous to humans than other breeds
I don’t even have one. I have a malinois and a yellow lab. I just think it’s fricked up to poison or shoot someone else’s dog and feel like that’s the position I’ve kept this whole time. In fact I’ve never debated that they’re not problematic. I’m very aware of it but have also met plenty of good dogs with good owners.
Here’s a link of studies and stats showing they’re an issue. Personally, I think people should have to pay for a permit for ownership. Again, I feel like it’s largely an owner issue and these animals are glorified for their violence and often encouraged.

I hate stray cats and how they kill birds, squirrels and bunnies for fun. However… there is an argument that cats keep other pests at bay. What benefit does a pack of pibbles turnt a’loose have?
If we euthanize the bad owners, then it improves the gene pool? Also, most pit bull breeds are adept at getting rid of populations of rats. So, if cats are cool for getting rid of pests, then pits can protect us from getting the plague. They also keep coyotes away and have been known to kill them. So, that’s three benefits right there.

The fact that people have been killed recently by loose dogs doesn't quite penetrate that dense skull of yours huh? I carry a gun while walking my dog not out of concern for some thugs wandering my neighborhood, I carry because too many shitheads own dogs they don't adequately control
So we should kill all the dogs because some dogs kill people. Sounds like really sound gun control logic.

This is good advice. The L Theanine should really help you a lot. You should really make sleep a priority also. If you have a chronic sleep deficit, it might take a week or two of solid, prioritized sleep before you start to regulate. If you have trouble sleeping, there is a supplement called phosphatidylserine you can try that could help. It can be a little pricy but it works really well for some people. Good luck. For what it’s worth, you’re doing the right thing. I am 100% sure of that.
Thanks man. I appreciate you.

He came in hot, but yall post the same shite everyday and the same people come in and say the same shite, myself included. Let’s just all move on to something new.
Cats killing birds? Are birds real? Can we fight over something different for once?
