I believe Babcox and Wilcox (the security contractor at Y-12) did in fact have their contract terminated and were replaced. I do not know who the replacement is.

I freely admit that I am average at best when driving.

It worked in ancient Athens, and with much the same rationale- you don't want anyone ruling you who would actually want the job.

to avoid cross contamination, of course.

I think perhaps you are projecting. I have in fact held some newborns, and they were far less aware of what was going on than my cats, and evinced fewer feelings. My cats, for example, can clearly demonstrate annoyance at one another; the babies I have been around seem to express only pleasure/displeasure and that in only the basest of manners, such as screaming and, oh, screaming. Something seems to change in them around five months, when one day you look in their eyes and there is actually someONE looking back at you.

The study I've seen most frequently cited as a refutation to the rape can't cause pregnancy argument is from 1996 and was in fact prospective.

We're not all idiots, thanks. Some of us are even familiar with the Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Theo van Gogh thing.

As a "real" woman, I ask that you not speak for me. Rather, I demand it. Any woman who has committed herself to the years of rigorous effort required to pass as female, much less actually opted for surgery, is going to be taking so much estrogen and so many androgen blockers that we 'real' women will mop the freakin' floor with her unless she was already a gifted athlete in her prior life. And if she was, she deserves the right to compete and demonstrate that against her peers.

There are a few Olympic sports which are skill based rather than physical prowess, and a person with Kleinfelter Syndrome could easily be an Olympic-calibre archer or rifle marksman.

My sympathy for your loss.

The majority of Americans do, in fact, live in urban areas. The link includes a breakdown of various degrees of urbanity.

This is not actually true - the shape of one's breasts is far more closely related to genetics, nutrition, and number of children nursed. Especially nutrition - most of the effects of nursing are due to borderline nutritional quality during lactation. If all of your protein is going to making milk instead of maintaining your mammary ligaments your breasts will sag.

So you have birth control pills and improved farming practices to thank for perky breasts.

You end up with seacoasts covered in dead fish. The local birds are often fairly happy for a week or so, but since it's a one-time or only rarely and irregularly repeated thing there's no significant long term effect that I'm aware of.

It probably also kills any corals and sponges in the area, so depending on how fully killed the reefs are you lose reef protection, resulting in stronger storm surges and faster beach erosion.

No. I didn't RTFA and this time it bit me in the butt. Sorry for that. The comments made it sound as though it's both new and useless, and it's neither.

Here, check this one out. No way to input preferred meals, but it's far more flexible than the thing in this article.
