Someone of age 50 in 2022 is part of Gen X not Boomer gen.

  I'm aware of that.

  I think jamil was implying Boomers are too stupid to know how to install an ad-blocker. As a Gen-X, I’m inclined to agree.

    Wow you're old as fuck and calling the slightly older group stupid.

      I don’t think they’re stupid but somehow my dad, who could always program my grandpa’s VCR and put together high end AV setups in his youth can’t set up his own entertainment center equipment anymore. I struggle with phone UIs but that feels like mostly because I can’t be bothered to guess at the “intuitive” ways I can touch a screen that do different things across apps. For instance, some of my video apps are double tap to fill screen, others are outward pinch (is there a word for that?), or a press of certain buttons, or they just don’t do it.

  That has nothing to do with this webpage's article. Though, if you must know: The US has clearly said there are bio labs in Ukraine, and that they've built some and funded others. The United States, through BTRP, has invested approximately $200 million in Ukraine since 2005, supporting 46 Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and diagnostic sites. [1] And from the US Embassy in Ukraine: BTRP has upgraded many laboratories for the Ministry of Health and the State Food Safety and Consumer Protection Service of Ukraine, reaching Biosafety Level 2. In 2019, BTRP constructed two laboratories for the latter, one in Kyiv and one in Odesa. [2] The 2005 agreement between the US DOD and Ministry of Health of Ukraine, signed in Kiev, is here.
