    The risk is small enough that I don't worry about what I have already done. I don't do it anymore anyway. Lots of stuff is scary and the risks are a lot larger. Your drive to work is more likely to kill you.

    Compare prion disease related deaths to car accidents or medical error deaths one time.

    Fine, it might possibly if the cow is infected and your get unlucky do that. It still is very humane. Yes you slit the throat right after and hang it.

    This is still a common method for people who own small numbers of cattle in the USA.

    Yup, I was even willing to wait 3-6 months and have had dealers tell me they would not be able to get the car I wanted.

    In North America sticks are hard to find and almost no hot hatches are available either. The intersection between the two is vanishingly small.

    How is a .22 that never leaves the skull going to contaminate the animal?

    Rural farmers are still using that method BTW, a rifles are common, stunners are not. How can an instant death from a .22 bouncing around inside its head be cruel?

    Yup, not real bright animals. They still don't tend to want to stand in their own shit. They will tolerate it for grain, but that does not make it heaven. For an apple they will walk right up into a vehicle. Then you shoot them through the eye and drive to the butchers. You save a few dollars doing the deed yourself.

    No, I do not. Cows are not people, nor do I consider them such. I have killed animals, and will likely do so again. I still recognize that a grasshopper knows less about what is going on around him than a cow.

    Please show me some information on plants being able to do this. I have never heard of it, and frankly I do not believe it. They may respond to stimuli the way circuits behave but I want evidence for more than that.

    Obviously animals are killed via mechanized farming. I did bale hay as a kid you know.

    Cardirect.com is a terrible website for what I want. It appears you can't even get a price without giving up your information. Ideally they would shield you from the dealer. I don't want those folks knowing anything about me.

    I know of CVTs will hundreds of thousands of miles on them. They were quite well proven in the Insight 1 which came out many years ago. They are way to old to be shiny gadget of the month. Hatchbacks are still very hard to find. With a stick near impossible.

    I agree with all of the above. If I could manage it I would be vegetarian save for animals I hunted/fished. I just don't have the time for that, nor the freezer space.

    Not sure what that has to be with this. Was that something that happened or are you merely into some weird fetishes?

    Grow up, jackass. I have no problem telling them off. What I have a limited amount of is patience and time.
    I want to be able to order the car I want, like it appears you can do with the design your ford website thing or whatever. I do not want to check to see what numbskull ordered what options for their lot.

    Car salesmen are not specialists, most know less about the cars than I do. They are not on your side and are not worth paying.

    I had to give up on that requirement. The CVT is still 100 times better than any slushbox. Finding a hatchback that also has a stick is like finding the holy grail it seems.
