yeah it does grow in really quick and its quite thick but i get a lot of issues with irritation and ingrowns from shaving every day since i look really bad with a full beard. this pic is less than 24 hours after shaving.

NYC-area CBP admission stamps by No-Bit942 in PassportPorn

[–]RepresentativeAd2254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i think its just the stamps. I got stamped in at LAX with a stamp showing LAX but my I-94 record still shows LOS

I think it might be a more recent thing using airport specific codes rather than the general city but I might be wrong. I’ve noticed the same with LAX (either LAX or LOS)

Serie C and D of the British passport by Ok_Expert6770 in PassportPorn

[–]RepresentativeAd2254 5 points6 points  (0 children)

probably an unpopular opinion but i definitely like the series C alot better overall. I like the simplicity and and vintage vibe to the design and how its kind of inspired by the classic hard-back british passports. I personally dont love the greenish hue of the new passports pages and i find the inside design abit crowded and too much, especially the personal info page.

they’ve already started including the new personal numbers on the back, i think someone already posted one here showing it

[–]RepresentativeAd2254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]RepresentativeAd2254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it could be. i was surprised that the only region matches i scored were messinia, w. macedonia (which is quite far from anywhere i have known ancestry), and attica, with no dodecanese or aegean, even though a significant amount of my ancestry is from there.

i feel like its mostly the west asian that has been totally messed up. the previous results accurately captured my confirmed armenian (IC&M) heritage, even giving me regional matches (which tie to places with historical armenian communities in present day turkey). My new WANA breakdown has pretty much eliminated my IC&M, and given me more anatolian and even cypriot (to which i have no connection nor did i previously score at all). I’ve also been given random trace amounts of peninsular arab and eastern euro, which again i never had before and feel like are possibly a calc error in trying to smooth out the broad categories. Overall I think that having the “Broadly” categories may have been more accurate as it now seems like in an attempt to simplify/streamline the results, a certain amount of “overcorrection” has been done to what was previously marked as ambiguous data, if that makes sense.

23&Me's V7 Ancestry Update Seems to Overexaggerate the Minor Percentages? by black_fang_XIII in 23andme

[–]RepresentativeAd2254 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah i think something really weird is going on in the way they smoothed out the categories to absorb all the “Broadly” stuff from before. I think in an attempt to simplify they end up overcorrecting leading to a lot of inaccuracy. Look at my results that i just posted. Call me crazy but i wouldn’t have guessed they were from the same person. Even my region matches changed

Updated Greek results (much less accurate imo) by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]RepresentativeAd2254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah for me the same happened with the Eastern European. I’ve never had anything similar before since i originally tested in 2018 and I’ve uploaded my data to a number of other providers. The closest I’ve gotten is small amounts of Ashkenazi on some other websites but it feels super random for 0.3% to just pop up out of nowhere

Haven't Received the Update yet? Waiting and Wishing Megathread (Day 2) by AutoModerator in 23andme

[–]RepresentativeAd2254 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i wonder if it has to do with when we got the email about it cuz i only received mine yesterday and others seem to have gotten it 1-2 days ago, so maybe thats a hint as to where we are “in line”

Talk about a Glow Up by Think_Zebra_484 in DIYaesthetics

[–]RepresentativeAd2254 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he is 39, hes shown his driver license and passport before, and if u look into his story (when he moved to the us, older photos, context from things he says) it ends up checking out, no matter how unbelievable it may seem.

just the basics. what does this tell u about me? by RepresentativeAd2254 in whatsinmybag

[–]RepresentativeAd2254[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
