The more I read the more LivingDNA seems like a rather unprofessional company. Comparable to 23&me and the screwup with their health testing / FDA approval a while back. However, 23&me had the benefit of running for a while before the health test issue came to light. Living DNA doesn't and...

nevermind, double post

14 business days before they'll actually may delete your profile/data. Once you ask & they acknowledge you asked, which may take a few days of "shouting" at them for them to even acknowledge the request. As for missing something ... it seems to be a rather crappy company.

Some UKers refer to American tea & coffee (and some American beer brands) as piss water. Not as charming as dirty dishwater but pretty much the same sentiment.

I am supposedly a slow metabolizer. By DNA that is. I am actually a fast metabolizer, in that I can have a coffee in the early morning, another at the start of work, and even add a strong espresso on top in the afternoon. I am not drinking little cups of typical coffee but usually L or XL of...

FTDNA - passable Genographic Project - passable 23andMe - good Living DNA - crap BritainsDNA: passable My Heritage DNA: passable

Course it is a scam. Never liked Living DNA to begin with. The customer service only recite worthless scripted responses - if you ask something beyond that scripted response they're useless - and I even got a hold of a "researcher" whose response to a question was far below what I'd expect for...

As the sayings go you'd have to be either blind as a bat or thick as a brick to confuse a lightsaber or a ghostbuster's outfit for a legitimate weapon. Either stupid or paranoid people would make that mistake. The thing is, is Rhan's list didn't say Ghostbusters or Star Wars did it? It said...

What I see as the real liberal folly is the fourth "rule". The rest - no guns, etc. - has been around for a while or just common sense. But how exactly do you "define" that particular rule - no costume representing an ethnicity that isn't your own? And that's a theme [lots of liberal "racism"...

A friend's grandmother would have likely been considered a "witch" back in the day. She had an uncanny "sixth" sense or "second sight"/an da shealladh. I kid you not she knew things before they happened. Not entirely unheard of as the area where she's from there are tales of other people with...

This is interesting but Chinese do drink milk. You'll find them drinking such as exchange students & even in Chinese-specific shops.

Has he tried the gum, patches, or the pills?

nevermind, wrong area

There's a difference between migrant & "refugees". Kindly don't insult legitimate migrants who actually come to a country attempting to better themselves versus so-called "refugees" who attempt to get into "cash cow" welfare countries. Where I live in Canada a growing number of "refugees" are...

Or Dutch, etc. I've had this discussion a few times with American colleagues. I think it's a two-folded thing. British ancestry is "cliche", a goes with the land sort of deal, as America was a mostly British colony. But being "German-American", "Italian-American", "Swiss-American", etc. is...
