Stop stalking me. I've already asked you. At this point, you're just showing the world you're a stalker with nothing better to do.

Just to clear that up - you have zero importance to me. I do not look for you at all. Never.
I respond to posts not people. Been doing that for decades.

Except a single barn for that many would have had to have been 14 acres. Which nothing I found suggests barns are that big.

I don't know what the actual facilities look like, but if it was a bunch of separate buildings I could still see a chain reaction. 18,000 cows is a lot of burgers.
Where else is an explosion like that going to come from?

I believe I know the reason why, but that would be going too far down the rabbit hole for the lounge. My only hope is people will wake up and realize a trend is going on and then do the research themselves.

18k cows jammed into a small enough space to kill them all would produce a $hitton of methane, pardon the pun.

You're missing the point. This is why the Internet isn't fun any more. 
To repeat, I'm referring to the frequency of explosions. It's not like the population of cows tripled in the past year to cause cow farts to be more of an issue than they were 5 years ago.

For example more reporting on things like that now versus long ago?

"deadliest barn fires"
Wonder what that actually means. Seems like it must mean multiple barns actually burned. Which leads one to wonder about the spread between them unless perhaps fuel of some sort was involved.
Actually my first thought was a single barn...
Normal room for a single cow is 35 square ft. That is 630,000 square feet for that number of cows. So that gives a single barn that would require 14+ acres.
Kind of hard to find the 'biggest' barn but I did find the largest horse barn in US which is 78,000 square ft.
An order of magnitude less.
So probably not a single barn.

Quote: Becks is producing the world’s first beer and full marketing campaign made with artificial intelligence, the company said in a statement.
The German beer leaned into AI to create the limited-edition Beck’s Autonomous to celebrate its 150-year milestone. The technology was not only used to generate the recipe and the name, but also to design the logo, container and advertising campaign. Beck’s is releasing just 450 Autonomous limited-edition beers across Germany, Italy, and the UK.
McCormick & Co. partnered with IBM four years ago to comb through data faster and more effectively by knowing which ingredients work together or which ones can be used as substitutes for each other.
The AB InBev-owned brand said the beer, called Beck’s Autonomous, was selected by AI as its favorite among millions of different flavor combinations it generated. The “futuristic concoction” contains water,
malts, hops, yeast and AI.

Cool.
Beck is an excellent beer.
Spend a lot of time in Germany back in the early 80's.
Beck was the beer of choice (that and Guinness) among my German colleagues.
I will see if I can find this latest version in US.

Only thing close to brewery in Houston Ship Channel area is Budweiser Brewery Experience.
Budweiser is an OK beer but yes mild and wet like cold water. Tastes fine on hot summer day of sweating.
Curiously when doing my German thing I had a visit to a Finnish restaurant. Excellent food like reindeer and such and their beer tasted like Bud light. I liked it. I suspect the best of US beer is not exported. There is a strong German/Czech tradition of beer making here in central TX. Shiner, the best.
Yes, finding the newest Beck might be hard, but you can never tell in US.

BYW, Anheuser-Busch has been making their version of Beck since 2012. Beck's parent company, Inbev, merged with Anheuser-Busch. supposedly the same formula with water rules and regs used by Germans is also used here. But German made Beck is still the best.

I haven't had one in years perhaps it is not as good. But to each his own when it comes to taste. Almost every country brews their versions, Italy included of course.

I'm quite certain the Italian version isn't the same, in Italy the most commercial beers have all a persistent and bitter overtone that kills all other flavours.
I love Belgian, Czech and Irish beers (Guinness excluded), mostly the ome with a strong malt flavour and a non persistent bitterness.

Many moons ago, I had Belgian beer in Belgium. The best beer I ever had.

Why in a report about Becks did the author feel the need to stick in a paragraph about McCormick & Co.?
Why only 450?
We can only hope that the AI gets a taste for beer, turns into an alcoholic, and loses all credibility.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Very likely the agreement with IBM stipulates that it must be mentioned. It mentions "four years ago" so before the most recent AI splash so IBM would have been trying to push their own product.
