@supercycle: I still can't figure out where this matters.
It's just another thing for me to talk about. Though I wouldn't have created a thread asking the question. The question being meaningless doesn't stop me from answering though.
Just curious if the new Lara is a lesbian. I'm about half way through and she seems really close to Sam. Opinions?
I voted no but I know what you're talking about. There were some points where I raised my eyebrow and went, "hmmm".
Edit: though now that I think about it, it was more of Sam's mannerisms than Lara's. I think while she was shooting some video she even kept that camera on Lara in a creepy way for a little too long. Kind of like how I would do if I found a girl attractive and I happened to be shooting footage.
Street smarts is just what it sounds like. Gaining your knowledge from learning on hand, or in the streets. You know, as opposed to learning from books.
I like to think of it as this: book smarts means that you have learned a lot from books but lack any real world experiences. With street smarts you've learned everything from doing something first hand without the help of schooling.
I also believe it can extend to things like experience handling situations and not getting taken advantage of. Like if someone was looking to buy a used car for instance. A street smart person might know the game the salesman is trying to play while someone that's been coddled by school might believe anything that he's told.
Lastly I don't think that book smarts and street smarts have to be mutually exclusive.
I busted out my 'ol copy of Simcity 4 since all the Simshitty talk has got me worked up for the games of yore. I have to say I think it's the pinnacle of the series. They messed up not building Simcity more from there.
I do it on a rare occasion. I used to say fuck you to ranch on pizza when I saw a kid do it in like 6th grade. It took until I was like 27 before I actually tried it. I ended up liking it a lot. It's especially good on a cardboard flavored pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut. You know when the pizza is kind of terrible but you're hungry and pizza is pizza.
Again, @alekss, I cannot stress this enough. You need to go ASAP. Today would be good. Yesterday would have been better. Yes rabies can take a while to develop, but the post-exposure vaccine needs to be administered as soon as possible if its going to work. The longer you wait, the more likely the vaccine will not work, and you will be dead dead dead, and dead in a really unpleasant way.
They won't even bother to test you. If you go and say I was bitten by a wild cat and the cat escaped, they will immediately start you on the vaccination course.
It's 7:12 PM here. I'll go tommorow as I said.
No, that would be stupid! It could already be to late now let alone tomorrow! You will call 911 and request an ambulance NOW!!! I am seriously worried about you!
Most patients also receive a treatment called human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG). This is given the day the bite occurred.
Call your doctor right away after an animal bite or after being exposed to animals such as bats, foxes, and skunks. They may carry rabies.
Call even when no bite took place.
Immunization and treatment for possible rabies are recommended for at least up to 14 days after exposure or a bite.
There is no known effective treatment for people with symptoms of a rabies infection.
