I dunno man, when I do a critical theory examination of the mousetrap system, it doesn't seem to involve the cheese at all but the fact that some powerful bastard wound up a spring.

That's true. Some are suicidal idiots. Still idiots because there are better methods of suicide.

Yeah so that's just the vaccine itself no immunoglobulin . And you're right the price is insane. For a killed virus rabies vaccine for animals it costs $20 a dose or less for just the vaccine. For administration it's higher and varies but still, the price is just stupid.

Tried too hard. Anyone who's illiterate with that much phonetic knowledge would've gone for peper at least.

Just the vaccine series due to risk or the entire propylaxis after an encounter?

What's particularly annoying about this shit is the human rabies vaccine should not be this expensive. Not by a fucking long shot. It's not much different than the one used on animals and that one is incredibly cheap.

The primary point of cost is Human Rabies Immune Globulin for prophylaxis but that isn't something that's very expensive to produce itself even though the costs are higher than a basic vaccine. It was to a degree when it was only plasma derived(because you needed a bunch of people and their blood and to concentrate it) but that's not the case anymore. Monocolonial antibody production isn't as expensive as biologic medications make it seem. Compare this price to the price of a similarly dosed and sourced(though actually with less donors, look up the old news about the man with the golden arm) medication like RhoGAM at under $200 a dose and you'll find that something smells here.

Edit: and reviewing Indian costs for the immunoglobulin, the around 200 dollar price is right on the mark. But the US market is entirely disconnected from anything like economic reality.

Listen: you jump into a dungeon in the hopes that it's going to lead to a better life in any way and not misery and death you are an idiot. Adventurers are self selected to be idiots.

Call to power really was a "let's throw everything in there and the kitchen sink." No other civ game has approached it's sheer amount of random unbalanced shit crammed into it. Not even alpha centari or beyond earth.

Mf just leaving all those books/ledgers open and damaging their bindings. Get a goddamn bookmark.

The desire to carry water for American companies or European companies by excluding China is strange. Aus doesn't play that game. Trying to be protectionist on dead end ICE manufacturing capability will only serve to put them deeper and deeper into the grave that they want to share with the US.

I think that anybody who's trying to protect ICE manufacturing should take a hard look at what happened in China. They literally killed their ICE manufacturing with their new energy vehicle push. Absolutely gutted it. And they're reaping the rewards of doing so.

What you're hinting at is a little broader. It's not so much language redefining things as much as users rejecting labels doesn't matter. For a functional definition like social media, people do and did reject being defined as that to preserve some sense of community distinctiveness. But just like punk artists rejecting that they're in the genre or even musicians, the small groups view on the subject isn't as important as the functional reality and the greater social utility of the term. Instead of functioning as a descriptive definition, such things are actually acting as shibboleths.

In regards to rewriting history, it'd be like rejecting calling da vinchi's helical air screw a proto helicopter. Just because the term was coined later doesn't mean that it's rewriting history to apply the concept. It's not unhelpful to define a concept and review it's impacts. I honestly think it's very helpful in examining eternal September myself, for example, and seeing it's parallels in the walled gardens and subsequent social networks and how they all approached the same challenges and implemented some of the same tools.

In essence, the broad term exists precisely because it defines something that is useful in ways "the Internet" is not.
