Dog bites have a very high chance of becoming infected. There is also a risk of tetanus. If you are bitten by a dog and it breaks the skin you must seek medical attention immediately. Clean out the wound as much as you can, remove foreign objects, cover with a sterile dressing and go to the doctor as soon as possible.

Don't put neosporin on puncture wounds like dog and cat bites because you trap the bacteria deep in the wound. I learned that the wrong way.

I don't think it counts as a puncture wound. One tooth scraped the skin making a cut about an inch long but only just deep enough to break the skin. The opposing tooth didn't leave a mark, I think because it was on my wallet.

49: not just bite wounds but any deep wound needs to heal from the bottom up. any foreign matter gradually gets expelled. if it heals over at the top first then it's trapped in the wound cavity and you get sepsis. bad news. sometimes for a big puncture you pack it with sterile gauze to keep it from healing over at the surface before the deep tissue heals.

I had another look at Netflix but its selection seems to be oddly limited. Yes, lots and lots of episodes of obscure TV shows, but I was looking for LA Confidential and they didn't have it. It's only 20 years old, it was very commercially successful, well reviewed, mainstream Hollywood production... but they don't have it.

The problem is that the various streaming services, and the likes of Sky and Virgin, have all snapped up various exclusive distribution rights, carving up the movie landscape between them. If you want LA Confidential, you can only find it on Amazon Prime (in the UK). Typically only the PPV services will have a full(ish) selection of movies. When Netflix started out, it had deals with most of the studios, but over time it's deprioritised those in favour of originals and TV.

Basically I use my streaming subscriptions almost exclusively for TV and originals these days, and a DVD rental service for most movies.

Virgil and Dante encounter various sinners: Mordred, who betrayed his father King Arthur, is encased in ice up to his neck in front of an IMAX showing of Die Hard 2. Camiscion de' Pazzi and his kinsman Ubertino are watching the Mark Wahlberg Italian Job; as an act of mercy Camiscion attempts to ease his kinsman's suffering by chewing his brain out of his skull.

When Netflix started out, it had deals with most of the studios, but over time it's deprioritised those in favour of originals and TV.

My understanding is that the various rights-holders decided that Netflix wasn't paying enough, and when the rights agreements came up for renewal they either refused to license them at all or asked for exorbitant fees.

Netflix owns their originals, and TV is a dime an episode (with some series being exceptions) because there is so much of it.

Yes, exactly. They've decided originals and TV have a higher (and more long-term) return on capital, basically, as the studios have jacked up their prices. Increasingly they're not going to have much choice in the matter, though. Disney are taking their movies in-house, for instance.
