Just because I accept their price does not mean I would accept their "salmonella salad" even though it was included in the price as that just cost me more.

$1,200,000,000 / 300,000 == $4,000 / dose.for those that failed 3 grade math. NOTE: if you have never been really sick INSURANCE DOES NOT PAY FOR EXPERIMENTAL STUFF !!! you pay full price [you might get in a test but that can have the outcome of playing russian roulette with a colt 45 automatic pistol.] NOTE: Never been tested...so 5 years down the road everyone that took it dies of mysterious brain cancer. [or something else] FINALLY: the latest HCV [hepatitis C] drug Mavret is about $2,000 per pill 1 per day for 90 days, and insurance pays [maybe not all] and it was fully tested and works. [yes, I have HCV-1a and will not be able to get medication until July 23 after having 5 pieces of cancer removed from liver since Oct 2019 and at $1350 SSI I can not pay more that $200/month for prescription in USA but Canada has all 90 days for $699]

even for you dog. Carbs are the real problem
Look at the analysis and skip anything below 1% like vitamins etc.
add up the numbers and subtract from 100, the remainder is CARBS
My cat likes the cheap crap but eventually eats the good stuff.
Currently Crave with 76% stuff so 25% carb.
If I remember Blue Wilderness [more expensive] is 12% Carb.
The local grocery store brand is like above 50% Carb.

Comment Life Style... (Score 1) 3

How about life style. The US has the worst of all the world.
A study done several years ago brought native Alaskan college students to the lower 48 for college.
Note that at home they ate whale blubber and things "we" will not eat.
Withing a short time the were all becoming ill and very much less healthy.

My email sig says it all:
Food processed to be nothing more than simple starches with two dozen flavorings,
stabilizers, sugars, artificial ingredients, antibiotics and pesticides added to make it appear
to be food -- is not "food".
It is "feed" -- what you give to livestock to fatten them up for slaughter.

when installing and w10 asks for a M$ account look in the bottom left corner for the micro-print "Skip" or "Use Local Account" Now you have to endure a couple of pushes to use M$ but hang in there and put in your User Name & Password like the good old days Also disable all services that want M$ access like Cortana when that page comes up later on. Lastly get FileLocator Lite from mythicsoft.com [I'm not associated with them but it is a kick ass search] I never let a machine go out the door with out the above, even so far as adding a new user [local] and deleting the M$ one

Submission + - Stalker found victim's home by looking at reflection in her pupil (boingboing.net)

JustAnotherOldGuy writes: Enhance, zoom in...more...more...straight out of CSI:
Last month a Japanese entertainer named Ena Matsuoka was attacked in front of her home in Tokyo. Her alleged attacker, an obsessed fan, was able to figure out where she lived by zooming in on a high resolution photo and identifying a bus stop reflected in her pupils. According to Asia One, the alleged attacker "even approximated the story Matsuoka lived on based on the windows and the angle of the sunlight in her eyes."

I retired 5 years ago from the background support for 911. [USA] It is called "addressing". 90% of the "real" land does not have an "address". I started working to get the 911 centers to use it not long after I found them. So this solves that problem. On our lot we have over 100 3-words so it can distinguish basically the kitchen from one of the bedrooms. Also each countries language was used for their 3 randomized lists, not a translation for a single language. Also cell phones do not have hard boundaries like wired phones, that wire is at a known address. I live near Mexico in S Texas. So Texas uses 100 Some St. while Mexico uses Some St. 100. And there are many more anomolies across the world so 3-Words creates a world-wide Standard. Same thing with password. Remember 45*dW@]a|z87xa3* or Bradshaw|Cowboys*SUCK The first one has an entropy of 104 that would take the Tianhe-2 or large Botnet 11,774,478,757.4 E+8 years to break The second one has an entropy of 134 that would take the Tianhe-2 or large Botnet 8.1425613646268 E+18 years to break BTW who would guess that is the quarterback I hate, team I like and a related word that no one would ever guess Now tell me what 3 words with 2 symbols [ they are the "pipe" not 1 or L ] which makes more sense.

Comment Return to history (Score 1) 3

When your doctor went to continuing education to learn about your body, and at that he "knew" "your body". His job to figure out what was wrong with "you". Then write a prescription. Bob has the flu. That's it. Full Stop. You took the prescription to the pharmacist. He went to continuing education to learn what drugs work for what problem, and he "knows you". So he gives you Tamaflu, you pay and all is good. But may be last year you reacted to Tamaflu, he knows and instead gives you the new "Flu Stopper". I hate the revolving 15 minute door with my and most doctors.
