A triumphant Putin. Time to wake up in Berlin, London, Paris: if Russia wins in Ukraine, Putin won't stop there. Are Europeans capable and willing to prevent the emergence of a neo-imperialist, militarized Russia which has learned that war pays off?

I received one of these bamboo cups at a medical conference. "Cool ... bamboo!" I thought. But this piece made me check what else makes up the cup. Uh-oh! ☠️MELAMINE☠️ | Sixty seconds on . . . bamboo cups https://t.co/8fmbkwii52

The FDA advises "when foods are heated to high temps (e.g.,160 ° F or higher), melamine can migrate out of the plastic. Foods and drinks should not be heated on/in melamine in microwaves. Only ceramic or other cookware which specifies that is microwave-safe should be used."

[D McG @pluto665]

In the body, melamine will concentrate and interact in urine-filled renal tubules, crystallize and form large numbers of round, yellow crystals, that block and damage renal cells, causing the kidneys to malfunction and lead to kidney stones, kidney failure, and death.
