Saw one a while back whom had four. I'd have tied them off like you do with horses.

I bet my yogurt also has more CFU than a public toilet seat. But my yogurt also is far less likely to give me monkey pox.

Cleaning a keyboard is also quite a bit of tedious work. Especially if you have a lot of "debris" in there

Ok, I’ll spend most of my working hours on a keyboard and you can spend yours fingering a toilet seat. We’ll see who gets sick first.

Someone already answered it but bulls are still fed out. They don’t gain as quickly but they’re still worth $2500 a piece at time of harvest… Holstein also is some of the highest marbling meat you’ll find grades choice and prime more often than many other cattle just takes more time and feed.

At least once a week I turn my keyboard upside down and give it a few raps on the desk to dislodge anything stuck between the keys. Then I wipe it thoroughly with Clorox disinfecting wipes. So my computer keyboard is not anywhere close to those bacteria numbers. No one's needs to be.
