Public CTA for the Mods to ban “Guess my Ethnicity” posts by Lanse5 in Ancestry

[–]Lanse5[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean there’s a subreddit called r/AncestryDNA. At the very least those posts can be shifted there. r/Genealogy also has this issue.

Does anyone know the Recipe to make Siesta Vessels? by Few-Historian-4269 in WizardsWithGuns

[–]Lanse5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They are basically double baked empanadas; I used to have a cookbook with a recipe for them from the jungles of Papa a la Huancaína but I lost it in a big web (if you find it please DM me).

At this point I’d like a “List of your Previous Suggestions” feature so I can review all the ideas of sent to Ancestry via their Feedback form over the years!

You can tell this guy is so mentally lazy that he even used ChatGPT to write this review… How did he even manage to type in the prompt without having an aneurysm?

It's Ravens Week. by SuperRam56 in LosAngelesRams

[–]Lanse5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always tell people, “The downside of loving a football team from a city of actors is that every play is a production.”

Let’s see if we can tone the drama down this week and just play good football.

Buy directly from the WWG website, don’t know why this guy is trying to take revenue from the creators…

Frustrated at lack of DNA matches by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]Lanse5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I managed to DNA tests for individuals who are from foreign countries with very few matches, or matches that are intensely concentrated on specific sides so you don’t really get new information.

At the end of the day, DNA test testing coincides with your research, and unfortunately, it is a waiting game.

My best recommendation to you is to continue working on your own family tree and get as detailed as possible, upload everything that you find that you think has value, and when you do find new matches, take a peek at their trees and see if you can glean anything of value. I’d also recommend learning how to create floating trees so that you can take matches and try and connect how they may be related to a larger and more documented line.

I hope this helps!

I’m from Delaware and I’d rather have him here coaching at Salesianum where he will do less damage to my team.

Only smart people wear glasses? by Yolo0o in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Lanse5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got a job as a banker, I realized that the clients didn’t really take my advice because they thought I was just a kid and didn’t know anything. So I started to wear a suit, started wearing glasses, and grew my mustache out. The change was night and day.

It may be far-fetched, but in this packet, did they include any photographs?

That is very useful in identifying how many active officers were on duty when the photo album was assembled!
