LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said this week it will retest 4,000 DNA samples and open an internal investigation after learning that it used potentially flawed test kits for eight months.

Sheriff’s officials said Wednesday that a test kit manufacturer sent a letter in August warning the department to stop using certain kits that were prone to giving incomplete results. However, the letter was received by a civilian employee who didn’t discard the kits or send them back, according to a department statement.

The department used the flawed kits from July through February, testing thousands of samples from criminal investigations.

The problem was discovered Monday when a supervisor at the department’s Scientific Services Bureau found the manufacturer’s letter.

The department said it has opened an internal investigation to assess how much the faulty kits have affected criminal cases, and will retest some 4,000 DNA samples.

“We take the integrity of our criminal investigations and the reliability of our forensic testing very seriously,” Sheriff Robert Luna said in a statement. “The Sheriff’s Department is working diligently to assess the impact and to prevent such situations from occurring again.” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said his office had begun working with the sheriff’s department to determine the extent of the problem. Sheriff’s officials said the bad tests might have led to incomplete results, but they are "not likely to have falsely identified any individual.”

The department declined to name the manufacturer.

I’m pleasantly surprised at the levelheaded reporting. It’s strikingly neutral, to the point where the Republican quote sounds like a shrill shreak in a sea of reasonableness.

There’s no call for perpetrators being hunted down, no death threats, it’s all very civil.

I’m physically quite large, but most people will outrun me for medical reasons, but you can’t tell just by looking at me. It wasn’t until #metoo that I considered what it might be like to walk on the street and be afraid for your safety all the time.

My partner shared a few historic experiences which made me want to throw up.

I’ve read the responses here so far and I’ve done similar things for the same reasons, noise, humming, nodding, etc… I’ll also cross the road if I think my presence might make someone feel uncomfortable, or if I feel uncomfortable.

I have also walked off a footpath onto the verge to give the person coming towards me, space to move.

I’d be interested to hear what that feels like for people who are experiencing this kind of interaction.

If your partner dies before you do, consider what happens to your joint mortgage, your internet, email and phone accounts, your car repayments, if it’s coming out of a joint account that’s suddenly frozen because one account holder has died.

What happens if your partner sets up your home network and TV subscriptions and their email account is locked because you’re not the account holder.

For example, Netflix doesn’t have “multiple account holders” as an option, it belongs to one person, the one who pays the bill. Neither does Google, Facebook, Disney, Amazon, Apple, or anyone else.

This is repeated across every single aspect of modern life. Your robot vacuum cleaner is linked to a single person, as are your IoT lightbulbs. It’s absurd.

The list goes on, public transport payment system, car ownership, home ownership.

I know people who have had to borrow money from family and friends, just to eat food because the bank needed a death certificate after their partner died, but the process took weeks, some even months.

One person was an executor of their recently deceased parent who was required to produce the non-existent death certificate for the other parent who had died 40 years earlier. Took more than a year.

Dying during a holiday is a special form of torture for the family.

None of that is easy, convenient or handled.

Why not?

I write software for a living, an exception in software means something unexpected, out of the ordinary, it’s treated as a “special case”.

In a lifetime, death is not unexpected, it’s expected, even guaranteed. The only variable is time, but that’s true for many aspects of life.

Take for instance moving house, it’s got a high likelihood of happening during a lifetime, multiple times. There’s processes to update your address, tell your bank, the utility company, insurance, etc. There’s address change services, some even run by government that all but automate this.

Why is it that such a thing doesn’t exist for death?

The absurd amount of effort that family members after a death need to get through to deal with things like this is insane.

Yeah, I was going to bring up Turbo buttons, but then realised that the Commodore Vic 20 in my bedroom predates that by quite some margin 😇

It appears that these countries now have some form of warning associated with travelling to the USA:

• Australia
• Belgium
• Canada
• Denmark
• Finland
• France
• Germany
• Ireland
• Mexico
• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• Norway
• Portugal
• United Kingdom

It’s on purpose and AFAIK for two main reasons:

• To confuse the buyer
• To be able to trademark and protect the brand

Until reading the replies here, I had no idea what you were talking about. It did make me wonder which other words are banished with only their letter to show for it … and it made me wonder if there are multiple words referred to by the same letter, causing more confusion in communication, the X-word, you mean the X or the other X word?

These are what I have so far:

• c
• f
• n
• s
• r

If you have a roof, you can put a sprinkler on it and spray water with a tap timer. Just enough to wet it, so that the water can evaporate and cool the roof.

If you have windows facing the sun, get blockout curtains and close them before the sun hits them.

If your front door has a window, get an expanding shower rail and hang a blockout curtain.

If you have internal doors, keep them closed.

Wear clothes made from natural fibres.

Drink extra water.

Move slower.

Eat cold meals, like salads, rather than cooked meals that heat up your home.

Install a ceiling fan and keep the air moving.

When the sun is off a window, open it to encourage ventilation.

Keep air moving at night.

Put a thin cover on your bed.

Have cold showers.

Fingers crossed.

I first heard this in the early 1990’s when I was working on a computer helpdesk. By that time, Word Perfect was no longer popular, having been steadily replaced by Windows and Word.

Given the current “administration” track record of pursuing an anti-imigrant agenda I doubt that the deaths of 6.3 million people who are not citizens or tax-payors will even register, let alone cause concern.

What might cause a reaction is the rest of the world.

So, tell your local politicians in your own country.

This question has nothing to do with the country and everything to do with the person. It’s entirely up to the individual how to approach this.

For an external observer, the choice made by someone else is not for you to judge. You can never know what is inside the other person’s mind and whilst you might disagree, it’s their choice.
