The real answer is a bit of both.

“The fertility treatment involves sperm, an egg from the prospective mother, and an egg from a donor and has been used to help women who have mitochondrial issues with their eggs[...]”

I’m guessing no. Phelps has 23 Olympic golds. Lochte has 6. America only forgives winners...

I got an ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE as well. Running an R7000 with DD-WRT. I assume this means we’re safe...

Sure, I’ve heard of it. I think it’s a great concept that allows a democracy to function.

I would get it in writing directly from the Provost or his/her office that they are okay with you giving the interview. Otherwise, speaking to the media about your employer without the employer’s knowledge/consent might be grounds for dismissal.

Yeah, that’s not a difference in values. She knew (or should have known) that was wrong and did it anyway. I’d dump her.

Yeah, I was watching a clip from the Cosby Show last week and found myself a bit conflicted about it. On the one hand, the persona of Heathcliff Huxtable is so far removed from the reality of Bill Cosby. On the other hand, I know how groundbreaking and important it was to portray a successful black family on TV.

The charitable donation is a good idea, particularly if it’s for a cause she likes. Just something to let her know someone is thinking of her...

I’d say it depends on your personal relationship with the almost-ex. If you no longer have a relationship with her, I don’t think you’re obligated to get her a gift.

So, he liked the crime bill, but he didn’t like like it?

Sounds like a bit from the (increasingly relevant) Yes Minister:

I don’t think that this is categorically true.

I don’t know; a motion by Donald Trump citing a tweet as admissible legal evidence against voter fraud seems in keeping with his schtick

I’m still a bit confused about the copyright issue. Why would I place all of my DVD/BD rips (from discs I already own) on Amazon’s/Google’s/Dropbox’s/Microsoft’s servers if there is the possibility that these files get deleted and I get booted from the service? And how would these companies even know whether my files…

There’s no particular right answer here. With the caveats that (1) I don’t know your constraints both legal and familial and (2) I don’t know your family history (i.e. has someone near and dear suffered from cancer etc), I would actually say that any of the above charities would benefit far more from $5k-$10k/yr than…

Not necessarily. While it is true that a Representative or Senator from AZ can make decisions that affect me in NY, she/he was ultimately elected to represent the interests of the people of AZ, not the people of NY. Given that Congressional offices have limited resources, it is reasonable that they focus on responding…

Let me save you the trouble. I tried that too. She says she can’t find the answer to my question. Can’t find or won’t find?

I once wrote an op-ed for my HS newspaper entitled “Secure Our Borders” - a screed against illegal immigration. As a high schooler, I knew just barely enough facts about immigration to confidently decide I could write an article about it; just not a well-argued or intelligent one. Also, I’m an Indian-American with a…

I just asked her and I asked multiple times to be sure.
