A quick check on WikiPedia says that Hiroshima was being rebuilt already in 1949.

Chernobyl will be suitable for human life somewhere between 200 and 900 years. The figure I see most often is 600 more years.

That's the route I've taken. I blog under my own name and leave comments on blogs under my real name too. Very little is done under a pseudonym these days. Slashdot is an exception as I joined back in 1998 or so and naturally picked a pseudonym because that's what I had been doing since my BBS days that started around 1993. It was around 2003 that I started bombing everything with my real name although that wasn't my intent at the time. I just didn't want to hide anymore.

So, if you do a web search on me you'll find that I'm pretty big into firearms, firearm rights, hang around a more conservative side of the blogosphere which also mostly centers around guns, and a bunch of stuff on mailing lists that I used to contribute to that were technical in nature. And, occasionally I'd drop some tech info somewhere online under my real name these days.

Firearms are the only item on the list that you have to declare. At least, that I'm aware of. At the very least it's the only thing on the list that'll permit/require you to keep your luggage locked up.

As far as limits go the only one I know of is an 11lb limit on ammunition.

Not sure this really effects Detroit all that much. I think they only sold 6 cars last year.

Now the "foreign" manufacturers that set up shop south of Michigan? They might actually care.

Anybody that's ever taken LSD could have told you that!

And with all the STDs too. This only works if you trust the other person enough.

Yeah, I'm one of the weird people that doesn't have sex with somebody until I'm pretty sure they're not trying to give me a deadly disease or a lifetime infection.

What confounds me about this is that it appears I'm actually in the minority position. I'll never really understand people that rely on a 60 cent piece of rubber to keep them from getting a fatal disease so they can share an intimate experience with a person that might be killing them in the process.

Then again, I don't get human social interaction a lot of the time. All I know is life's simpler when you don't fark people you don't trust.

The figures are normalized to account for a year of using that specific method. It's not a per-incident value.

I'm not sure why this data surprises people. Ejaculating outside of a woman is pretty good at preventing pregnancy. It's basic biology.

Here's one that used to work pretty well for me:

Just bareback it for a while doing it bunny style. (Dogs having sex is kind of gross, but bunnies are cute!) Then you can work on the wrapper while you're doing your thing, get it ready, slide out, slide it on, and you're back in the game with only a 5 second interruption.

Plenty of people only use the condom to prevent pregnancies. At some point in the relationship you start trusting the person enough not to be lieing to you about having the herp or HIV.
