Change in Grasslands – Pasture in Albany County from 2001 to 2019

|
Multiple, often contradictory things can happen to land cover over two decades, as you can see with this map.
 
Suburban sprawl in the area around the city reduced the amount of grasslands over the 18 year period, while in more outlaying areas the decline of dairy meant less silage and corn was planted but more grass was grown/grazed for beef.

The Internet Advertisers Think I Have AIDS 🤕

|

Since getting interested in nutrition and healthy living, I like to explore a wide variety of perspectives on healthcare and diets. I am interested in various medical conditions, and how I can avoid them to remain healthy. I also often review various not-for-profits for work by viewing their websites.

And now the Internet has decided I must have HIV/AIDS.

Like every other website I go to is now has advertising regarding the symptoms of HIV/AIDS, what to eat if you are immunocompromised, what medications are out there for treatment. It’s just gross and creepy at the same time that the internet has decided I have a live-threatening disease, and I must be followed around the Internet with information about HIV/AIDS everywhere I go.
