That's not a full genome result dude. That's not what 98.7% means.

I know PoE is a thing, but I don't think it's supposed to carry 220V. Am I wrong about that?
@Dave @Alex_Linder
Not sure what the thread is about, and don't think I want to know, but I feel compelled to point out something in particular: you do realize you don't actually need to sequence the entire human genome to establish who the parents of an individual are? Only a few critical parts of the DNA are ever tested for this, that have a more predictable behavior in how they get passed down. To make an analogy, if the DNA would be a book, and you wanted to make a test to identify in what year the book was published, you wouldn't need to read the entire book to find that out. You'd find that information in the first few pages.
As for the historical heritage DNA testing, that a number of companies provide, it's a similar thing. They mapped a handful of key gene sequences that they know are specific to certain geographical regions and test only for the presence or absence of those genes. There's really no point in testing the entire DNA, because 99% of the other genes they aren't testing for don't provide them with any useful data for their analysis. Sure, this can give rise to hilarious results when you send fruit DNA and actually get back something, but that's to be expected considering: a) we share most genes with other life forms on the planet; and b) even the absence of these key genes they test for is correlated to human populations in one geographical region or another.

I meant more like the actual Moon of our planet.... but blaming Moon is ok too I guess.
@galena
I blame the Moon.

Don't know if I have a favorite moment, but the muffin lady was definitely a highlight.

The internet has been memeing on Amber Turd for weeks now. This has been called the most publicly watched trial since O.J.
@dave
Yup. And best of all, it fits.

The Ukrainian flag is fine. The real red flag is the EU flag.

That's bloody genius!

Not until just now.
I never thought I'd see the day.
