We now get through 4-5 gallons a week, and only whole milk - even Little Miss P agrees that 2% is watery.

Big milk consumer here, too. I drink a 14oz mini bottle at my desk every work morning, plus I have two large mugs of a drink made with hot milk and instant coffee (I know, don't judge me) every day, and cereal with milk probably 4 times a week.
Whatever else I get, it won't be anything related to a calcium shortage. I do use the 2% though, or I would probably be the size of the Hindenburg by now.

In the NBCW (nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare) classes we got in the reserves we learned the basics of tactical warfare using the 280mm atomic cannon (even though I don't think anyone was still using them). As I recall it was shoot the target area then declare it off limits until radiation abates, then send in a crew in protective suits. It demonstrates a naivety from 50 years ago, but modern plans won't be any cleaner. You wouldn't be able to find uncontaminated milk. After Chernobyl the cows in Europe were giving radioactive milk for a long time.

Not much to do with Milk but did amuse me.
The climate activist Greta Thunberg has said she has applied to register her name and that of the Fridays For Future movement she founded in 2018, which has gone global and catapulted her to international fame.
The move would allow legal action against persons or companies trying to use her name which are not in line with her values or that of her movement, she said.

I do have a bit of a temper sometimes, but I'm not that explosive.
