How far down do support posts go? I think the footing for a typical backyard fence is like 1 foot-ish deep; I imagine these supports go much deeper. Oh, does soil type affect posthole depth as well?

Semi-related question: are you familiar with the company PooPrints? (https://www.pooprints.com/)

They take a DNA sample from a dog's cheek swab and match it with fecal samples sent by apartments complexes, HOAs, etc. when don't pick up after their dogs!

Two questions I have about that tech: 1) what they're actually sequencing to make a definitive match (specific chromosome regions?) and 2) are there enough SNPs/unique genomic identifiers such that you can discriminate between members of the same breed? E.g. can you definitively tell one standard poodle from another via sequencing?

Thanks!

PS: Are you hiring? I use a lot of NGS (Illumina, mostly) tech in my work, have a Master's degree, and love animals :)

Very cool, thanks!
