I would suggest taking a second test to be sure, but the line showing up means that the target of interest (ex. pregnancy protein) is present.
Faded or “light” lines can be due to a variety of issues, but basically boils down to lower concentration of target reaching the colorimetric reagent.

My understanding is that mortgage rate also plays a role in housing prices. So it would be a nice addition if they added average mortgage rate on the same graph or had another graph with total cost for buying a house with a 30 year mortgage.
- Comment on "Immense energy in a compact space:" CATL unveils high density, "nil degradation" battery packs | RenewEconomy 9 months ago:
I think this information was already posted a week or so ago, but if you haven’t seen it yet the relevant text:
Chinese battery giant CATL, supplier to some of Australia’s biggest grid-scale project developers, has unveiled a new containerised battery energy storage system promising a one-third increase in energy density, a 20% reduction in overall footprint and a longer service life.
Stored in a 20-foot TEU container, the mass producible Tener has a 6.25 MWh capacity which CATL says represents a 30% increase in energy density per unit area and a 20% reduction in the overall project footprint.
The new battery also claims to provide zero degradation of capacity over the first five years of use, “a significant advancement”, which CATL says increase the lifespan of batteries.
“Tener is equipped with long service life and zero-degradation cells tailored for energy storage applications, achieving an energy density of 430 Wh/L, an impressive milestone for LFP batteries used in energy storage,” the company says.
- Comment on Biden administration cuts costs for wind and solar energy on public lands 9 months ago:
Article Text:
The [Biden] administration on Thursday finalized a rule that cuts costs for developing solar and wind energy on public lands.
The rule was expected to cut by 80 percent fees that are based on how much energy is produced through the year 2035.
A partial reduction is already in place based on [2022 guidance], but the administration said that the new rule contains further cuts and codifies them into the federal register.
The fee cuts become less dramatic after 2035 and will ratchet down in the following years to be just a 20 percent cut in 2038 and beyond.
The rule also seeks to expand energy production in designated “priority areas” by simplifying the process for issuing new rights to build wind and solar projects.
The administration announced additional milestones alongside the rule, saying that the Interior Department has now given the OK to enough renewable projects on public lands to power 12 million homes.
Interior Secretary [Deb Haaland] told reporters on a press call that the Biden administration has approved more than double the number of renewable energy projects than the Trump administration did during its four years.
“The previous administration did everything they could to hobble our department’s clean energy program, but we’re making up for lost time,” she said.
In addition to the cost cut and milestone, the administration announced that two major solar projects in California were now fully operational.
