If the GENIUS Act becomes the law, we're in for a FUBAR situation when a stablecoin issuer ends up insolvent. Even more concerning, if a bank custodian for a stablecoin issuer's reserves ends up insolvent, the claims of the stablecoin investors will come ahead of the bank depositors. That's right. Crypto comes ahead of ma-and-pa.

is my report. I found their UI/UX quite good, and very comparable to a 23andMe experience. Pleasantly surprised to say there were zero attempts at ongoing subscription upsells, reengagement, virality etc.
Since my collection was based on a plastic bottle, I doubt microplastics would be part of the report. However the same lab offers other tests with different collection containers and different assays.
since the back end testing and reporting is done through gosimplelab you might wish to look at their offerings more directly

3.5 million pigs are slaughtered for food each day.
2 pig subjects "were sedated with an intramuscular injection of tiletamine and zolazepam (4–8 mg/kg of each, in equal amount), atropine (0.04 mg/kg) and buprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg). They were then administered inhaled isoflurane, except during neurophysiological recording as noted below, and oxygen (2 L/min). These gases were applied first via snout mask and immediately afterwards via endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilatory support. General anesthesia was maintained throughout the rest of the life of the animals, including euthanasia."
That protocol was approved by some suitable committee, in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act and similar protocols. I think most people informed of the details and the purpose of the research would agree the benefits easily justify the cost of their sacrifice.
I was a bioinformatician who worked on the Human Genome Project [ https://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol1_2/tpj0102-0001.html ]. I used perl daily for years. In ~2004(?) I attended a San Francisco Perl Mongers User Group meeting where Randal Schwartz confirmed that Perl6 would sufficiently break backwards compatibility that the CPAN would be started from scratch. I walked out of that meeting and said out loud "oh well, I guess it's time to switch to python".
I firmly believe that it wasn't specifically about the switch to perl6, it was about the loss of the cpan that broke the camel's back.
