It isn't a big deal, I posted it as something of a joke, but it is interesting that threats A,B,and C can all get you killed. All of them are low probability events. All are given their due except for issue C
Threats that don't relate to EDC, PSK, BOB, BOV, BOL and our burgeoning knife collections probably are given short-shrift on ETS. But it would be a hot topic on my dog forum, where knives are not the rage and the big debate would be over who is the bigger germ-parasite threat: feline or canine. Well, that wouldn't really be a debate, the consensus would be that cats are vile. There are none under my roof (I'm allergic). Gidget would not be kind.

"Especially if they charge hourly."
From associating with them in Vegas, the girls in the brothels usually charge by the job (with time limits), and the call girls who work outside the brothel charge a fee for a block of time and the cost of delivery both ways (usually limo).
I have no idea how the street girls operate.

"But really, how many people really do any/all of that?"
How many people store a week's supply of water?
Most cooties come from people. Who has noticed more sickness in the family after you put your kid(s) in daycare?

As quickly as possible?
Just a reasoned guess - I have no hard data or direct experience to contribute to this discussion....

They say it gets better when the kids get older and their immune strengthen. That's been my experience too but schools, daycare centres, nursing homes, etc. seem to be the epicentre of viral outbreaks.

No. Silly, pointless, or otherwise marginal threats are given short-shrift.

No. Silly, pointless, or otherwise marginal threats are given short-shrift. I was trying to be diplomatic and allude to the absence of a gear angle with the cat/dog sleeping in bed threat. And I'd argue that most of what we discuss around here are "marginal threats," quite a few are absurd scenarios and we've spent a fair amount of time on the absolutely ridiculous. But if there's an angle for discussing PSKs, etc, I'm usually game to discuss. Now I've got to go Vaseline some more cotton balls.... ;-)
