A quick definition of biological mother:

A biological mother is a woman who gave birth to a child or provided the egg that developed into an embryo. She is usually considered the legal mother, but this may not always be the case. A birth mother is the woman who carries the embryo during pregnancy and delivers the child. A surrogate mother is a woman who carries a child for another person or couple, and may or may not be the genetic mother. Other types of mothers include adoptive mothers, foster mothers, stepmothers, and godmothers.

A more thorough explanation:

A biological mother is a woman who has given birth to a child, provided the egg for a child, or legally adopted a child. This term can also include a pregnant woman who has not yet given birth. The biological mother is the woman who provides the egg that develops into an embryo. With genetic-engineering techniques, the biological mother may not be the birth mother, but she is usually the legal mother.

For example, if a woman gives birth to a child, she is the biological mother. If a woman donates her egg to be fertilized and implanted in another woman's uterus, she is the biological mother even if she does not carry the child.

It is important to note that the biological mother may not always be the legal mother. In cases of adoption or surrogacy, legal rights and responsibilities may be transferred to another person.

actually, this would constrain a future Trump administration from filing charges against Biden, as they'd have to prove he was acting in a private capacity
i think ara's point would be it would allow trump to act however he pleases as long as it can be reasoned to be an official action\
yeah if they wanted they could just unilaterally send biden to gitmo now
they won’t, but a few decades from now that kind of political action is a real threat
he wouldnt need to prove biden was acting in a private capacity if he can just send him to gitmo without due process because immunity

In my opinion, if any president blatantly used deadly force to kill their political opponents, there would be a revolution cus thats banana republic stuff. This whole jailing Trump is as close as we have gotten to a banana republic type situation. Many people wanted to prosecute Obama for killing a U.S. citizen. I think thats just as bad but I think the President has a right to kill one or two U.S. Citizens if he deems it necessary. Hell, I have had like 8/9 people die in front of me when I was in the military and every one of those deaths seemed pointless. I could blame that on all three presidents I served under. I think that Trump really did show restraint by not going after the Clintons in 2017 but then the same kindness was not shown to him in 2021 so now we have lawfair. I heard of this 2025 thing yesterday and if Trump chooses to purge the beauracratic bloat in D.C. I really can't help but see that as something he has the right to do. Something he should have done in 2017 but I d

they definitely overcharged me in the restaurant but it was a good wine for a fair price (couldve been better)
17:36
Pinotage from South Africa. If you get a good bottle it is unique and beautiful. If you get a bad one it tastes like grape cough syrup. Last time I had a Valpolicella was Valentines Day. I normally do not like the cranberry notes you get from the semi dried Corvina grapes but it was a very nice wine for Valentines day.
17:37
Crazy upcoming grapes I have also been into recently are Kerner and Solaris but really, all wine is good.

i went to a winery near cornell called castel grisch (take notes wasp!!!) and they only grew local varietals, even one produced by cornell viticultural students and faculty called "cayuga". the other was chancellor and the winery did a blend of those two grapes

The father/mother of Cayuga is a grape called Seyval Blanc and some other grape. I have never had it but it is on my list. Good choice. @sireggan
HELP! I hadn't yet completed my application to ASU (still waiting on both LOR's as well as an updated undergrad transcript), but for some reason, the application status in lsac says "complete" and I received an email from ASU saying that they are reviewing my application. Has this ever had something like this happen?
I'm worried that I'll get a denial since it's not even truly complete, and then I wont be able to apply again for this 2023-2024 cycle (the application deadline is July 15th by the way)
@SirEggan: notes taken! thank you
@ValleyH: congratulations, excited for you for this new chapter in your life
