- Turing_Machine 9y agoGiardia is carried by bears and beavers, not just humans and pack animals. It's commonly known as "beaver fever", in fact, and by all accounts it is not a fun experience (2-6 weeks of explosive diarrhea for some).
- M_Bakhtiari 9y agoI'm mainly complaining about the American world view of everyone on the internet being other Americans within the borders of the United States. Take eBay for instance, with the majority of American sellers flat out refusing to ship internationally, even to western Europe. I get that they don't want to sell me yellowcake, but I don't see the harm in sending me a few obsolete computers from the 1980s.

- M_Bakhtiari 9y agoWherein lies the pain of shipping internationally from the US? Whenever I've shipped stuff, whether through the regular postal system or the big name couriers, they don't seem to care where in the world the recipient is, other than that different places call for different rates, which I suppose is fair. And eBay accounts for this too.
