Wait, are you saying my statement is toxic or the responses I’m getting are? Cause I didn’t think suggesting finding something meaningful outside yourself CAN BE helpful, would be so divisive. I certainly didn’t think it would be an invitation for the rude responses.

It can be. Struggling is part of life, meaning makes struggle worth it. Meaning can change ones outlook from it never ends to I can move the needle, even just a little.

Seek expensive medical care where the doctors will run tests then do nothing and let you bleed to death in the parking lot. Do this or go to jail.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I had a great grandfather who dowsed our well. He also showed us kids had us hide his watch and found it quick. We were pretty small, I dont know if he he ‘cheated’, but he found it. And our well is still producing 40+ years later.

I’ve definitely let my wife write her name.

11? That is definitely too early.

I needed some for käsespätzle, and it’s one of those things where if you make it a little little might just as well make a lot. It will get used. Caramelized onions go well with just about everything.

I made a big batch yesterday (4 large onions).

Butter and olive oil. Add onions. I add water at the beginning so I don’t have to pay as much attention as the beginning. Once the onions are soft, turn it low and take your time. Only stir occasionally.

I used the instant pot yesterday and it was super easy.

They moved the other actresses hand up to cover more of her face too (in an attempt to match the original poster)

Meh, get an old Toyota or Honda. Those things are bulletproof. Basic maintenance isn’t typically that spendy.

2nd buy used. I’ve never bought a new car and I never intended to. One time I bought a used car from a dealership and they were dishonest about the financing (I already had financing lined up from my Credit Union, they said they would be at the rate, they didn’t but signed me up anyway). That, plus the fact that driving a car off a lot loses you 10-20% value new to used.

You answered your own question. So they don’t need a warrant. For a fee, they can run ALL DNA collected against just about everyone, no probable cause required.

All the more reason for broader legislation than a half baked idea about buying just this one database.

Honestly, the law enforcement implications of the government buying the database is just as scary as a 3rd party. Hell I bet a company buys the data and sells access to the FBI, and local law enforcement for a subscription fee.

They DID agree to share it.

Should that have been an option? Probably not, but now you are talking about legislation with wider implications, not some half baked public trust to protect a small group of people.

There are other databases of genetic code out there you know. The FBI can potentially accuse you of a crime based on your cousin uploading info to a genealogy website.

Can’t help but wonder what was the point? My paranoia can’t help but cook up someone wanting to scrub something that hadn’t seen wide distribution yet, so pay a small group to slam the internet archive and wipe all traces away before anyone else gets a chance to back it up…

Far fetched, yeah, kinda. But it avoids the usual Streisand trap from more conventional approaches.

Why should they?

Anyone who used 23 and Me agreed that their genetic code was able to be used my 23 and Me for whatever they want. Why is it now the job of the government to jump in and give those people retroactive protection.

I always hear this when this quote comes up now:

Is he talking about musk? Cause he isnt running shit. Owner, unfortunately yes. But he isn’t capable of running a washing machine.
