Have you seen this on the
@theguardian.com
website? I only ask because as a subscriber I cannot trigger it to see it on the page. It is an ad that I made for them that appears to non-subscribers so I can never make it appear.

The only meaningful problem with 23andMe going into bankruptcy is that they are the only way for people to obtain information about certain SNPs there *is no commercially available alternate test for* and your doctor cannot order and the specific genetic variant you carry can have treatment effects

When I was 8 I bricked my family’s computer by deleting all the .dll etc files because I 1) wanted extra disk space for games and 2) couldn’t figure out how to open them so figured they were useless This is DOGE’s exact energy, but with much higher stakes than one Compaq PC 🫠
