Sometimes I wonder if I'd prefer mosquitos over swarms of lúsmý, at least they don't bite

Basically everyone gets evacuated from the affected area and are staying with friends and family in Reykjavík. Grindavík is a very small town compared to the rest of the world. The government has offered to buy properties from the ones who cannot return, since the erruptions have been going for a few years in that area and there's no sign of stopping.

To answer your question for the rescuers, researchers, and workers left in the area, once the eruption starts it's quite easy to predict the flow. Luckily there are a few other roads without the risk of lava flow, mainly due to lava diverting barricades. In case of emergencies they use helicopters.

Other parts in eruption risk zones would be similar, since it's just not worth it for people to stay in those areas and most people can stay with family. And repairs to the road are usually pretty quick when the eruption dies down.

Have you tried running it with Bottles?

Is Boost really that much better than Eternity or Voyager that you put up with ads?

I hated the guards that said "Simon says jump!" and then whenever people only jumped once they were shot instantly because "Simon didn't say stop jumping!"

Here in Iceland, where this is located, we produce more green energy than we consume and can't store that energy, and the carbon is pumped straight into the basalt below which absorbs it. I think doing it here is a decent way to do research on improving the technology.

Very true, as long as they have not been pregnant we don't need to milk them.

What happens if you don’t milk a dairy cow?

Not milking a dairy cow, can cause a lot of problems. A dairy cow will produce about 8 gallons or 30 litres a day. Adding to the problem of not milking is the missing calf, as they are normally kept separately to ensure higher milk yields.

If you stop milking this cow altogether, milk production will continue until the pressure starts to build up. This process normally starts a dry up phase, which will prevent the cow from producing more milk.

Because of modern breeding practices, it’s impossible for dairy cows to dry up naturally in a high production phase before facing serious problems. As, extending this phase increase the milk output of a cow, making it more profitable to keep this state as long as possible.

For those cows, stopping to milk them will cause the udder to increase is size until it can not expand any further. This cow will be in serious pain at this point. Caused by the enormous size of the udder it will also be in the way of everyday activities, preventing the cow from properly standing, sitting or laying.

If pressure still isn’t released then the udder can rupture or get infected. Ultimately leading to the death of the cow, if she is not treated and pressure is released.

Approximately 74% of pregnancies on US dairy farms are attributable to artificial insemination USDA, 2014

 

The search has been going full time for a man who fell into a crevasse in Grindavík Wednesday morning. A drone was sent into the water in the fissure to investigate the situation.

The search conditions are very challenging. Work has been done to widen the opening of the crevasse, which was very narrow. This has so far meant that it has only been possible to bring two people down into the crack to search each time
