Think of this as a very old game, with a board simple enough you can trace it on the ground and play with a few stones, with rules simple enough you can explain/understand in 30 seconds. Like tic-tac-toe, mancala, nim, chopsticks... si

Tests cost money. They have blood enough to allow them to discriminate. If they were lacking, they will be less picky: in a catastrophic event they call for blood donors and they rely on tests, risking a detection window. But under normal c

The answer to all of that is mainly hepatitis C, that can have a window detection of 6 months, even more. And yes, you can be very careful and get a disease. But they are playing statistics here: over 60% of injected drug users have Hep-C,

Both are bad. You seem to imply that BBC inflates Putin evilness, or that it tune down Netanyahu evilness, and IMO they are both represented. In fact, I have the impression that you are the one trying to downplay Putin, for example saying &

The message you respond to talks about "food stuff", which is admitedly blurry. You focus on food safety, which is very good in the US. But the EU also regulates heavily food quality and sustainability, and it usually shows IMO.
