I'll be honest, I was expecting it to go to the closer bag, the one next to the girl's hand, but I suspect that it felt that was too close to her reach.
Do they end a sentence with a comma in Spanish? That is why English uses a decimal place as a full stop, like a period at the end of a sentence. Just as in a sentence, a comma in a number is a pause.
Scientific notation would be the use of exponents to express the number (I.e. 1x10^1), most often used to make very small or very large numbers easier to grasp - 10.000 would indicate that the low IQ was measured with great precision, right down to the thousands place. No, I don’t get invited to parties, why do you ask?
Some countries use periods instead of commas to dictate thousands, millions, etc. so 10.000 would be 10,000. I don't know why or even which countries, but I've seen it enough to find it annoying.
I don't know why so many countries swap the decimal and comma either, but I also hate it. It just looks so aesthetically unpleasant to the eye. Why are so many counties like this? Swapping them just to be different. I don't get it.
Most of South America, the EU, half of Africa and chunks of south east Asia use a comma as the decimal separator and period as the thousands separator. What’s more confusing is some places uses “mil” to indicate thousand on their currency like a can of Red Bull is 6 mil Colombian Peso or 6000 COP.
Well considering I'm older than social media, I guess the point has been raised continuously for a long time. And sorry to hear you learned to read on social media. I fl bad 4 u.
Jesus christ......while I don't agree with messing with wild animals, what you said is like not laying on your grass lawn because you might get Lyme disease
Just sayin…if you’ve never seen it in person, Lyme disease sucks really really bad. Growing up in the South, I would never lie down on my lawn mid summer without a blanket, and then would thoroughly check my whole body after. It’s really no different than people in the tropics taking small steps to prevent themselves from catching malaria.
For sure. I get you. I guess now with longer warm seasons and climate change...winter doesn't kill off as many ticks so the disease would most definitely become more common.
I don't have kids, so my fictional kids are safe from rabies. They're totally immune from rabies and all disease. They're also superheroes. If you think there's an actual argument between rabies with very outward symptoms and plague-fleas carried by the common prairie dog, you're looking to argue with people over something that is easily a low threshold for danger. Broad-spectrum antibiotics cures bubonic plague. Those prairie dogs also don't carry rabies nor did this one even attack the kids.
In theory, yes. They would have to be infested with oriental rat fleas, and one of those would have to jump over and bite you. They typically realize when they are on the wrong kind of host (no fur to cling to and hide in) and quickly leave again. It's more likely to happen when rats live in your home and run across your bed while you're sleeping. Especially if you sleep on hay that harbors rat fleas desperate for a new host. That's how the plague spread in medieval times.
A person got plague just a few hours from my house quite recently from a squirrel while camping way out in the backcountry. They shut down that part of the park for some time while they ran tests and studies.
There are 7 cases on average per year. In the entire US. One common vector are infected cats and dogs, with cats being particularly susceptible. The other are rodents carrying the oriental rat flea, with the ever-popular squirrels being the main vector. Rats and mice also still play a role since they never stopped invading human homes. People typically have extensive contact with the animal that infects them. A cursory encounter is relatively unlikely to pose a risk.
When I took medical bacteriology the professor told us a lot of plague cases go bad because the med tech successfully ID's it as plague, but thinks "What? Plague? What is this, medieval Europe? Let me run those tests again..." And gaslights themself into a misdiagnosis
Rabies is interesting in that it is treatable with 100% success rate before symptoms start, and with virtually 0% success rate once symptoms become apparent (certain death). Even more interesting is that the incubation period can be days, but can also be *years*. You could be walking around with a death sentence for literally years without knowing it if you have no reason to suspect you've been infected.

Prairie Dogs don't carry the disease. Fleas do. Your dog or your cat can carry those same fleas.

Depending if you use commas or decimel points, this is kinda funnier.

If you're an American the IQ applies to the kids, if you're European the IQ applies to the prairie dog.

Commas. Not joking, they are just reversed. A millionaire has at least 1.000.000,00 to these folks. Which is fine, of course, just different.

Which is cured with a basic antibiotic. A thick is more dangerous.

There are prairie dogs all around Santa Fe, NM and no has has gotten the plague from them.

Letting your kids feed wild animals, in general, is a terrible idea. Just don’t feed wild animals. Go to a petting zoo.

Well people spread the plague to the prairie dogs first. Can’t blame them if they spread it back occasionally.

We have a concept of how it is spread and one of our species decided to risk it for a video, so it's not exactly even on balance

It's still a good idea to check the kids for ticks if they've been playing on the lawn, particularly if deer come into the garden

For sure but don't hide from life

Exactly. I mean we might as well point out that the sun causes cancer so that parent is also a moron for having her kids outdoors! LOL.

You will almost never know a dog is rabid. The mouth foam is really on the late stage, but they are contagious much, much earlier.

ChewyClit
FACTS!
BobAllen2004
You know why? Because we teach our kids to not play with prairie dogs.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
PS: These days, the plague is easily resolved with a round of antibiotics (unless it remains undiagnosed for way too long).
YvesStRollerblade
Or just don't have your kids play with prairie dogs, easy decision for non-stupid parents.
