I assume you mean in the US. Really? I had no clue. They are like $5 in Eastern Europe.
Edit: I am referring to the post-exposure shots.
Edit 2: All of this reads like a bad joke - if our numbers are representative, rabies treatment is 20-2000x the cost of other countries in the US. Would be interesting to see someone play devil's advocate on this.
If you can, bring in the animal that bit you; you don't want to go through the shots unless they are necessary, but you also don't want to die.
I do wonder what would have happened if my phone died before I parked the Scoot. Seems like it would be a pain in the ass.
1. Sufficient exercise.
2. Calm, non-screen activity before (reading for 30 mins)
3. Good environment (dark, quiet/constant background noise, good temp)
4. Not moving at all when trying to fall asleep.
And while the skeptic in me sees "Property owners don't want prices to go down," I also see the other side now. San Fran wouldn't be San Fran even if we dug deep to have a ton of housing without ruining the view.
There is something to be said for not seeing a single police car until going South at night (or getting pulled over for going South on some street starting with an S "after 9"). There is also something to be said for living around people who can afford to live there (I can't, so don't take this as some elitist techie failing to check his privilige).
If someone makes $250,000+ a year, it's not unreasonable.
"My 2005 Ford Focus sedan was $3,000 and should last me about 3 years before I need to make a decision about major repairs, so that's less than $100 a month in ammortized costs."
That's completely unrealistic. You have some sort of competitive advantage (REALLY know someone trustworthy), or you are delusional. $3000 cars are generally very high mileage, unreliable, in poor condition, etc. Timing belts, suspension components, drive belts, starters, ac compressors, minor electronics, etc tend to start going on these cars.
"Are there really hundreds of thousands of people who are making $5,000+ a month necessary to justify the purchase of such an expensive vehicle? I'm not far from that number and most of my money still goes to food and rent."
I believe a car should be 3 months income at most. So no, I can't justify anything past a $10,000 car.
What I can say for sure is that unless you are a decent mechanic with tools or have GOOD friends / relatives that are, you shouldn't walk around espousing 3k cars. They just cost way too much in time.
There was a study that followed Chinese kids who stayed in China vs Chinese kids who moved to Australia. There was a marked difference.
Not sure if its about sunlight or near/far focus though.
You mean capacitors. Ba dum tshhh.
Even on the direct action level, they aren't listed as GRU anywhere, wear the uniform of some regular unit in the area, and have paperwork saying they are a regular soldier.
1. You CANNOT pass stylesheets to a web component from the parent. CSS isolation might seem cool, but when you realize you have to load your stylesheets into, say, a shared login page, it's suddenly a lot less appealing.
2. You have to import a bunch of scripts, and then conditionally load them with custom-logic (as of now) if the element actually appears on the page. Or you load a bunch of crap.
3. Polyfills, polyfills everywhere - yes, I read the article and I know it said they are working on support for Edge.
4. Managing your source code and deciding where to host the components is icky.
What is this, I don't even. Mongo is a huge pain when it comes to searching nested arrays. And above is just an array in an object, not multiple levels of nesting. I have to re-learn the syntax every time I pick it up.
Other than that, it worked great for allowing users to build completely custom forms.
