Was the test available at the time? Did other sperm banks check for this mutation?

Way more than that. It was 200 babies, not 200 attempts. The success rate of artificial insemination is about 20%, so that's 1000 squirts.

I was a sperm donor back in the 1990s.

The donors aren't "random".

They are screened for general health, genetic defects, and academic achievement. I had to show my college transcripts, provide a blood sample, and have a medical examination.

TFA describes a screwup that only happened because a test for the condition wasn't available. But many other tests were done, so the odds were still better than an old-fashioned insemination.

Many of the recipients are women in nuclear families, whose husbands have fertility problems.

"The previous management replaced the stairs at the entrance of our building with ramps because ramps allow more people access and are the norm for all new buildings being constructed. Stairs are more professional than ramps so were are tearing out the ramp and putting stairs back in."

Yes. Fucking asshole.

I can understand fiscal conservative viewpoints. What I can't understand is why conservatives in general are (very nearly) all so nasty.

(a) Declare bankruptcy.
(b) Use money to buy - I mean, lobby for - I mean get pardon. (Will work for 3 more years)
(c) Successively rename company: "MacroStrategy", "MegaStrategy", ... "MAGAStrategy".
(d) Goto "a".

Yup. Meeting emissions goals too hard? Roll them back. Safety regulations hard? Roll them back. Pensions cost too much? Cancel them. Pollution limits too hard? Ignore them. We're in a stage where the only acceptable level of profit is "all of it" and no other consideration is considered.

They are planning on building an AI datacenter in an industrial park at the edge of my small rural town. This industrial park already has some massive industry in it - like one of the largest Gatorade bottling plants in the USA.

On Facebook I started seeing a lot of posts in our local county gossip group casting pure FUD on the datacenter. Namely that it would pollute the water with heavy metals, and most of all, everyone would be "footing the electric bill" for this plant. With the electric bill the claim is that if infrastructure has to be improved, that cost is passed on to everyone. I've been trying to find information to combat this misinformation but it has been difficult.

In our case, the power company is AEP, which has over 5 million customers. There is a new 20 MW solar far less than a mile away from this location, and another 75 MW solar farm being built out in the county. We also have two hydroelectric dams on the edge of the county. This industrial park was built to attract huge industry and has massive power feeds, two interstates within a couple miles, and even rail service. So I doubt it needs anything at all, but even if it did, AEP is such a huge company that infrastructure costs would surely be absorbed across their entire customer base?

Looking at the initial posts seeding FUD, I noted that the people weren't even in our state, let alone our county.

Now there's a bunch of locals all riled up over this because they just believe anything they see online, and the next County Board of Supervisors meeting is going to be quite heated. Although I think this is already a done-deal.

Hegseth double-tapped it for him. :-)

Cogent sailed a while ago. Here's a quote from Trump announces $12 billion bailout plan for farmers hit by trade war with China (12m:16s) :

Noting that's technically true, but nonsensical: Farmers need a bailout because of tariff / trade war that Trump started and he says bailout wouldn't be possible without the tariffs -- which are paid by U.S. companies and consumers. Once again, solving, or at least mitigating, a problem he started and proud of it. For example, China was buying tons of soybeans from the U.S. before he imposed tariffs, now they're buying them from Brazil.

Buy more cards - duh. /s :-)

Well... maybe less favored now. Donald Trump Lashes Out At Paramount Owners In Rant About Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Appearance On ‘60 Minutes’

Remember, everything is a quid-pro-quo with Trump, like this: Trump slams ‘lack of loyalty’ after pardoned [Texas] Democrat says he won’t change party. Trump literally expected this guy to switch from Democrat to Republican if he pardoned him -- which sounds like a bribe, that Trump (now) would be immune from prosecution thanks to SCOTUS.

To some extent, probably, and I'm guessing they'll find a way to pass it along to their customers, after writing the fine off on their taxes. Rich people and corporations care about every penny. For example: Elon Musk calls for abolition of European Union after X fined $140 million -- which is literally pocket change for him.

Noting that UPS and FedEx don't have to deliver to every address, USPS does.

They don't really know what caused the glitch.

The cosmic ray hypothesis is just a conjecture.

So, they're rolling back to the previous version until they can figure it out.

If they're doing memory scrubbing, they might want to bump up the frequency.

If they aren't using semiconductors made with depleted boron, they should be.

Surprising how often the former seems to work these days.
