Depends on how badly you need to heid...  

Don't apologize for venting.  I'm there with you.  I'm fighting depression and I'm healthy. 
With myself I've found it's not the emergencies or crises that drag me down.  It's the annoyances.  And they often travel in packs..  Your life seems to have several really large, really ugly annoyances in it, plus any number that don't get posted.
I know what's needed is to break them apart and deal with them individually because I am stronger than any one of them.  But doing it?  Not always easy, which is why it's perfectly OK to vent here if and when you need to.  Serenity and humor.  Get back to those and treat yourself with understanding and forgiveness when you leave that space because you are simply going to.  It's human nature.  If you figure out how to do this regularly, please post it.  I'm having lots of trouble myself.

For what it's worth, I'd say your stem cell donation completely worked.  It did everything it was supposed to do. 
Please don't start kicking yourself, Prof.  That isn't any better.  If what you're dealing with doesn't seem that bad now, you can afford bandwidth for some added serenity and humor.  Which will in turn further improve your situation.

And a forced reset for breaching Immortal law is sort of like a DDoS attack.  Yes.

I hear they're forming a club...

Technically, it might be just Moperville, but yes I would expect bigger region.
Considering Edward was dealing with the scientists who created Grace, unless he was transfered from aliens to paranormal, I would say his division covered both. BUT agent Wolf might not have the clearance to know about it at that point.
I'm not sure how would you divide the divisions anyway: finding out if something is extraterrestrial or magic would often be major part of investigation.
Also, his new diplomacy position seem to involve dealing with armies which definitely seem alien.
Considering the necessary secrecy, the protocol for finding out potential problem for national security certainly isn't "hop on phone and inform at least ten people". Also, TF gun is apparently not seen as serious problem, which might mean he usually deals with worse. Therefore, it's quite possible that all his reporting about that was in writing and to be stored in archive.
Of course, if something serious would happen, he would need to report it to superiors, which likely include Assistant Director Liefeld. But part of his job is to identify what is serious and not bother superiors (who have lot of other work to do) with trivialities.
I disagree. They would be under some additional laws provided by secret organizations with knowledge about aliens (possibly DGB, or maybe the non-regional variant of it), but those are unlikely to be directly copied from laws of Uryuom parent planet.
Unless William is lawyer, he may be concerned just because he himself is not sure how it legally works.
Of course not. I was explaining how they might not hear "this thing is bad" until it hit the news around the time the law was being made, because while the religion position on the programming language is based on the religion, it is probably not directly written in main holy book or something so lay believers might not know about it.
Technically Earth DID had First Contact, just not the official one
If every Uryuom on Earth already HAS the CMD (because he or his parents brought it from parent planet), there may be no need for filling mechanism. If Uryuom on Earth will want new CMD, he will just visit parent planet and buy it there, or maybe order it from parent planet online.
People taking care for Vladia meanwhile are part of organization and if they would need CMD they would need to fill some forms and explain why, because bureaucracy.
There is no official trade between Earth and Uryuom homeword, therefore no exports and no exports restriction. Any item moved between Uryuom homeword and Earth is already in ownership of person who lives on earth or organization from earth (like DGB).
Given that Tedd was able to work on modifying the TF gun without factory equipment, this is sort of given. The device certainly contains at least some microchips, some sort of battery and the beam generator (probably lot of other stuff as well), and all of these are possible to obtain separately, either by buying them or by working in the field. Tedd wouldn't be able to create any of those in his basement, his limits are likely combining the parts and soldering them on board. I'm not sure what he made the case from, actually (the original device looked different) - but maybe it was water gun or some other toy.
But that wasn't what I was speaking about. People building illegal CMD are using existing parts as well. There are certainly ways how you can build something dangerous from existing parts - for example, using battery with higher voltage would certainly make the device dangerous. So would using battery with not enough energy to finish transformation, likely. Overclockers are raising voltage for PC components all the time, it's just that with PC, it's hard to do anything worse than damage some of the component. (It's worse with phones - Li-ion battery can explode).
Williams CMD was actually loaded with HUGE amount of safeties, including not transforming pregnant people, but those were certainly part of SOFTWARE and therefore not included in one of the parts.
I would assume Dan has more political opinions than is apparent from the comic.

I have had soom weeks that was my guiding principle in life.

NEW YORK CITY!?
 

I think he's got it!

I thought it was a Pocahontas remake.

Thanks to SF Debris, I am able to present the following transcript of what actually went on between the whales and the aliens:
Whale 1: Oh God, it's them...
Whale 2: Tell 'em... tell 'em I'm not here, maybe they'll go away.
Alien: Can you hear me?
Whale 2: Yes! A deaf man could hear you!
Whale 1: So are we going to talk or are you just going to sit there, dumbass?
Whale 2: Jesus Christ, would you just get on with it!
Alien: So, um, we were just, um, kinda wondering how everything is? You never call.
Whale 1: We're whales, of course we don't call. We have no radios, idiot!
Alien: Hey, there's no need for that. We just came to help!
Whale 2: Help? You're trashing my fucking planet? Dude, what the Hell?
Alien: Huh?
Whale 1: You're destroying the oceans. You know, where we live? Just fuck off already!
Alien: If you're gonna be that way, fine, we will!
At which point the aliens leave.
No, don't thank me. It was my pleasure. For more Star Trek in-depth analysis, please visit SF Debris at www.sfdebris.com . Enjoy.

Yes, the toxicity has been brought under check, thanks to a firm hand at moderating by folks like my good friend @The Old Hack. If you run into any problems, talk to him and he will see that they are dealt with in a swift and fair manner.

Well, let's see. First the Earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it- he took her best summer dress and he put it on and went to town...

Actually it was a buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff but he didn't say so.

More likely, someone on twitter/tumblr/patreon had same comment.
IMHO he was devastated because 1) it never happened to him and it was therefore big blow to his ego 2) NOW when she's unobtainable he really IS interested in Susan.
 

I don't like this theory. It would mean Susan(and maybe Diane) is related to Voltaire, and that would be terrible, because Voltaire is a terrible individual that deserves to be punched in the face repeatedly (and maybe lit on fire if I let my pyromania do the talking, but fire is the answer to everything in that case)
I much prefer the theories and such that lead to Susan(and maybe Diane) are distantly related to Adrian and Pandora, because Adrian and Pandora are awesome people.

That and Vladia is happy to look and feel like a human being instead of a freak.

Raven has had magic long enough to have unlocked it on an Atari 2600.

I like her fine as a brunette but anything for SCIENCE!

And needing Lawyer, Guns and Money.  He rocked hard.

I don't think I've done ALL of those things in one day.
