Not quite 100% any more. There was a technique developed about a decade ago to treat it by putting you into a medically induced coma until your immune system fights it off. It has a pretty low but non-zero success rate, and has left everyone, as of the last time I read about it anyway, who recovered with brain damage. So still not great.

Back from the earlier racing chat, asking "what if you let the engineers go rulebook be damned"

Porsche did that after crushing the WEC /Lemans for 3 years running with the 919.

They retired, took the car, gave it to the engineers, and said "make it as fast as you can."
The result was the Porsche 919 Evo.

Currently holds the lap records at Spa and the Ring, and is capable of much faster, but as the the works drivers Timo Bernhard and Neel Jani will tell you, you run out of driver and the human meat sack in the seat is the limiter. At some places the car was pulling 4.5+ lateral Gs

Isn’t there a theory that a significant number of people survive rabies with no symptoms but because of that they didn’t even know they had it and it’s not documented? If you show symptoms you’re 100% dead without the shot though, and it’s obviously not worth risking it just go avoid a few shots.

EDIT: Fun fact: Edgar Allan Poe might have died from rabies

Never heard of this. I have heard the horrible TV medical drama poo poo about trying to cure someone with rabies with an induced coma (they always induce a coma) and then fighting this disease based on where you are bitten, hand arm, we can vaccinate super quick. The closer it gets to your trunk and spine and brain the less time you have.

Obviously this makes for good medical drama.

poo poo I just talked to a guy who kept putting needles in his arm and his take on the ER experience was they went in hard and fast to fight this infection and now he can permanently flip the bird. Not much else. He has gross pics on his phone and maybe will think twice about needle drugs.

One time when I was a kid I got one of those three-prong boomerangs as a present. I took it out into the back yard and threw it as far as I could, which sent it over the neighbor's fence, where it immediately dropped out of view, and that was the end of the boomerang. Turns out you have to throw them a special way to get them to loop back.

Something about that Porsche running wild: that can't be done in a "racing" format, because those cars need "clean" air to generate the thousands of pounds of down downforce needed to keep them and their big sticky tires adhered to the earth. It's one of the reasons MotoGP (top tier motorcycle racing) can never be as fast as F1, you just can't have the same aerodynamic tricks.

Here's a video compilation of what happens when aerodynamics go wrong at speed, which is very thread appropriate.

Yeah it is very fast, but like it was already mentioned F1 cars already broke that record in Spa. In real race qualifying setup. F1 cars are fast. And even now they are limited by their tyre options and engines ("power units"). The tyres available in competition are neither fastest or durable, but are engineered to degrade in a way that produces drama during the race. Also, the cars can only use three engines in the whole season, which means that the teams are forced to tune them down to increase longevity. With real qualifying spec tyres and tuned engines, like they had in the 80's and 90's, the cars would be significantly faster than what they are at a race weekend.

Every day takes figurin' out all over again how to fuckin' live.
Slippery Tilde
Adding to rabies chat, I got pre-exposure vaccinated when I was doing animal control. 2 shots a couple weeks apart. The shot itself doesn't hurt (it's like getting any other vaccination) but the goop they inject has the consistency of maple syrup and your arm hurts like hell for a few days afterwards. So now theoretically I am immune to rabies, though I haven't had a titer test to see my antibody level. The most disappointing thing was not being given a tag I could wear as a necklace :smith:

Fun rabies facts:

Humans have some natural immunity which is probably one reason why reported cases are so rare. That and modern pet vaccination campaigns.
Only mammals carry rabies.
The largest reservoirs in the US are bats, raccoons, and skunks. Video bobcat probably contracted it from a raccoon or bat (it most likely would avoid tangling with a skunk for obvious reasons).
People often think mice or rats carry it but while they can contract it, they're not likely to spread it because they die of the injuries sustained in the attack that gave it to them before they become contagious.
The method of infection involves the virus getting into your nervous system and traveling towards the brain. Getting bit on the toe gives you more time for treatment than getting bit on the face.
A carrier isn't contagious until the virus has reached the brain, at which point it gets into the salivary glands and is transmitted by bite.
Rabies testing requires brain tissue, we used to have to decapitate the critter and take the head to the state lab for testing. This is why they can't just test you if you're bitten, they skip straight to shots.
