  Ancestry dot com?
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 08-07-2024, 02:44 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (12)

I have always been a bit dubious about what companies like Ancestry do with the information and the data vast numbers of customers pay them to take and hold, while giving up all your personal rights to your own genetic makeup, and that of all your relatives in the process.

So is this a good thing? And have you - like my daughter, been tempted into sharing her genetic heritage in exchange for a run down on who her ancestors might have been...

  French election
Posted by: Lilith7 - 08-07-2024, 11:42 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (2)

All may not be lost & the far right may yet be defeated. Its  a narrow margin but several centre left parties which formed a coalition have drawn slightly ahead of Marine Le Pen's party.

Apparently, memories are short about fascism... Dodgy

  Just had a tooth implant
Posted by: nzoomed - 06-07-2024, 08:55 AM - Forum: Health & beauty - Replies (2)

Had root absorption as a result of a historical injury and needed to have an implant.

Procedure was pretty quick with the tooth extracted and implant done immediately afterwards with little to no pain afterwards. 
Just have to avoid eating on it until the bone heals.
The dentist made a CNC milled crown to go on as a temporary tooth using a 3D scanner in my mouth, pretty amazing what they can do nowadays.

  Israeli govt grabs more territory
Posted by: Lilith7 - 05-07-2024, 11:24 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (7)

Israel has approved the largest land grab in decades, about 4.9 sq. miles of the Jordan valley. Obviously their govt isn't bothered by either a conscience or the opinion of other countries. Dodgy

  Probable Labour win in UK
Posted by: Lilith7 - 05-07-2024, 10:59 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (4)

According to the BBC, it looks very like a landslide victory for Labour, after years of Tory govts. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens there; hopefully not yet more of divisive Neo Liberalism.
