“Mestizo” ?
I don’t remember my Denisovan, but I’m over 4% Neanderthal.
The little k looks puny to me, like a vestigial limb.
I’m pretty much Jews all the way down. Some of them are Sephardic.
Lowercase “k” is the correct SI (metric) prefix for a 1000 multiplier, but that’s when it’s combined with a SI unit, like “km” or “kg” or “kV”. When used informally all by itself I would probably use an uppercase “K” ($460K), and I would append it to the number without a preceding space, which is also not proper for SI units.
We had some family surprises that were found out the old fashioned way, through genealogy paperwork. The DNA test just confirmed it. Nothing earthshaking just my grandfather didn’t come from exactly where we thought and he wasn’t born with the name we knew.
I’ve been to old and new Yankee Stadium, Shea and Citifield and Veteran’s Stadium. When I get rich I plan on visiting all of them.
This was my experience. About a decade ago, my mother and father-in-law went through the experience, and had a bunch of fun seeing all the little 1 and 2% of this and that (they’re a huge Northern European and UK mix). So they bought kits for myself and my wife and bugged us until we did them, with my wife saying “Why? You two already did yours, you know what I’ll look like unless there’s something you’re not telling me…”
I said, “Fine, but it’s going to be a lot more boring unless -my- parents also have something to explain…”
Mine comes back and it’s 99% Ashkenazi Jews in Central & Eastern Europe, and 1% (or less) Generic Eastern Europe and Russia. They just looked at the results and I shrugged. And, no, my wife didn’t have an surprises either.
I see “Km” more often than I see “km”. I think if it is a divider (like “cc” or “μs”), it is lower case but a multiplier is upper case. The one that is hard to get right is “MHz”.
N. Texas late 1800s.
More like the original people who had interbred with conquistadors so much they were all around half and half genetically. IOW, what i would expect from Hispanics in the southwest
No, “Km” is just wrong. See the list here. Most of the >1 multipliers are uppercase but “k-” is an exception. Uppercase “K” is the kelvin unit, so “Km” would mean “kelvin-meters”.
My instinct would be to use uppercase K to stand for “kilo-” in “kilobytes” (as in “The Commodore 64 has a whole 64K of memory!”). But that’s 1024 rather than 1000.
You don’t have to be rich; you just have to be patient. It took me 25 years to get to all of them.
They keep building new ones, though, so it’s a never-ending quest. A trip to Arlington, TX in 11 days will get me current again.
I got a prorated payment from the CAREs act, but not the full $1200 per individual stimulus payment.
I got something like $3 form one of the other ones, because I got a raise between 2020 and 2021, so then I made almost, but not quite, too much to qualify. So I voted that I got a payment from the American Rescue Plan and didn’t qualify for a payment from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, but I’m not completely sure which one I got that $3 from. But looking at the qualifications the American Rescue Plan seems most likely, so that’s how I voted.
Why only US residents? As we pay taxes, we also received the stimulus payments.
Part of the reason I love pretzels is because they are so easy to suck on instead of having to bite into them. My teeth situation always has me looking for softer options.
I marked the potato chips; but they’re so much preferred that I rarely buy them, as when I do I eat too many. What I’m more likely to actually eat for a salty snack is corn chips, various salted nuts not necessarily peanuts, and/or (not on the list) pickles.
I am in the same boat.
Salty snacks needs a “None” option, as usual.
Not only did I never do a DNA test, I think I have an active dislike of the entire concept of genealogy. I don’t care who my great x 4 grandfather was, or what variety of white I am. I have nothing in common with those people.
I think it’s good for people who want to know their medical risks, though.
Chicken in a Biskit should be on the poll, dammit!
