I can’t lie to you about your chances, but… you have my sympathies.
Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?
Good, that was on purpose.

Lile with Pavel Kushnir, somehow Russia is jailing and killing their brightest.
Laser-carrying mosquitoes or mosquito-killing lasers?
Maybe you’re onto something ;)
(P<0.05; 0.00) seems incidental with the study size and honestly I can’t see how could they smell the blood type.
(I’m not saying they can’t, I’m saying I would like to know how.)
I’m saying it may be incidental because the paper doesn’t define if the population from where mosquitoes fed had a higher or lower O-type density, nor their distribution.
Mosquitoes find their prey using three senses:
First by CO2, as mammals will be releasing it in big quantities (though they also bite reptiles).
Second, by body smell, which as others here have mentioned, diet and genetics may dictate how it is affected.
Third by shape (that’s when they are already there) and are trying to figure out where to stick it.
The first one is hard to fix, so for the second I’ll recommend icaridin or, if not available DEET, and in gel form not spray. DEET can be a skin irritant, hence why is less preferred.
Spray though is sometimes used when applying it to clothing, as it also may have your smell attached to it.
For the third one, I haven’t seen conclusive data but a lot of observational studies: from wearing light-colored ample clothing that doesn’t define the limbs to (I guess) wearing stripes like a zebra.

And a lifetime in humid climates like the Bayou.
That’s probably why science dwellers are so bent on finding microscopic life outside of earth.
Yep, they reached the point where they acknowledge you can’t really “own” a cat.
Then, tip your robot:
15%. 20%
25%. 35%
They should have called it Friend Computer instead.

Based on your references I would say:
I would add Coupling to the British tv list.
Did you made a deal with Death?
I had a job offered based on the fact that if you know bash, you can translate that to powershell, as translating knowledge is easier than learning from scratch.
Didn’t buy it perse but Chex Quest.
