Actually, it looks like 1.8 % is pretty good, they found 1.7 % here :

"Persistent False Positive Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Tests" - https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/...

And even lower, around 1 % when you don't count the repeats of false positives from individuals prone to have them (mostly occurs with persons with autoimmune disorders and some women too).

Thought it does look like it's possible to get up to around 5 % false positives if the tested population has a low enough incidence of COVID :

Replace food packaging with what ever was used before the use of plastic became wide spread ? Outlaw plastic packaging ?

Do you mean by the sane side the small minority, like the ones who voted against the following ?

2024 "On Wednesday evening, the Israeli parliament made clear its position, voting by 68 to 9 to reject any creation of a Palestinian state."

2025 "The resolution, which passed 71-13, declared that the West Bank is “an inseparable part of the Land of Israel, the historical, cultural and spiritual homeland of the Jewish people” and that “Israel has the natural, historical and legal right to all of the territories of the Land of Israel.”

> while supporting the sane side of Israeli politics, which alas is currently powerless and incapable of stopping the madness.

Why do you say they are powerless ?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'the process' ?

Or how it answers the GP's question, when the article only says you need to upload a selfie OR a photo of your government ID ?

What do you mean by that ?

Correction:

Does the study tell you how the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups where formed?

> That's bold, considering the last flu vaccine round had a NEGATIVE 26.9% efficacy.
#followthescience / Yes, you read it right, if you were vaccinated you had a 27% HIGHER chance of getting the flu.

> Your claims that Europe is a tech innovation leader

I never wrote or implied that Europe is a tech innovation leader.

I only meant that when you wrote the EU "do not, and apparently are not capable of innovation" you are obviously wrong.

I'll try to be more direct and avoid playing games next time.

> While you strut about acting like a non-EU citizen invented the WWW

I obviously didn't say or imply that. I'm also sure you know England was part of the EU from 1973 till 2020.

As to the rest of your comment, I get you don't want to play my game, so I'll stop with the examples.

I'll just add that your links clearly refute your statement: "The EU ... do not, and apparently are not capable of innovation".

I guess your unwilling to play. :(

My turn again.

World Wide Web (1989): Tim Berners-Lee, a computer scientist at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland, proposed the system that became the World Wide Web, fundamentally changing how information is accessed and shared globally.

My thoughts too.

I found this interesting:

"If a non-profit company decides to stop doing business and dissolve, it must distribute its assets among other non-profits ... If a benefit corporation decides to stop doing business and dissolves, the shareholders receive the proceeds of the sales of assets, after liabilities are paid.

> wouldn't that mean the name used by the US should revert back to "Gulf of Mexico" since renaming it was DEI?

Maybe not, here's the 1828 map of Mexico (United Mexican States) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Do you mean the rest of your comment isn't factual, as it's being uttered by an ignorant kitten ?

> Mew... mew

What does that mean ?
