@jaiblevins@ASFleischman The rabies virus is so slow that the vaccine still works until you are experiencing symptoms. Rabies consumes your brain stem first, you lose the ability to coordinate your immune system. Vaccines take time to teach your immune system, that's why they are a preventative usually.
@BeecherDenys@ASFleischman Worse still, besides being capable of spreading this nightmare, dying of rabies is excruciating. What a waste. The development of the rabies vaccine event at the time was a medical miracle. It wasn't exactly easy to test.
@haemaker@RBReich For those wondering about the exceptions. 1) Sale of a business you own a substantial ownership stake in. 2) Your pay was negotiated by an attorney AND the non-compete specifies a non-California choice of law provision.
@urzapolariz @RBReich @ChimeraCorner 1872 Talk to an employment attorney. Companies in California routinely make California sign them even though they know they're unenforceable.
@torriangray @Phiasco9 If we swap limbs, we could be a complete person. Rebuilding leg strength after surgery that required me to sit around to heal. Took me two weeks of exercises just to go up-and-down a single flight of stairs normally.
@ReportingfromNY@RonFilipkowski Segregation didn't end in 1954, it just became illegal finally. There are still way too many de facto segregated schools.
@Jellofish6671@fuckyouiquit Most states don't require breaks at all for those over 18 or under the FLSA. State where you work matters enormously for breaks.
