And there are actual convictions?

100% chance my mother will not only want to see this but want to drag me with her and “Look at all those actors you like” will be her refrain.

In the age of DNA are there “stranger” rape cases that result in convictions absent either DNA or video evidence?

The vast majority of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows so identification isn’t exactly the issue here.

Overhead is a biggie. That’s one of the main reasons in-home daycare is so much cheaper; no additional rent, minimal utilities, and not much if any support staff to pay. Insurance is also quite expensive. A lot depends on the required ratios of adults to kids. For example I live in MD where the ratio is something like…

If the e-mail was sent the next day he was almost certainly not to blame. Most common illnesses have a longer incubation period than that; a cold is at least 48 hrs and the flu is 1-4 days with 2 being the average.

A lot of religions teach that messing with human remains impacts that person in the afterlife (I personally don’t believe in an afterlife). If we’re going to respect religious beliefs (which we theoretically do) the ones around burial grounds should be high on the list imo.

Literally my first thought upon reading the headline.

Don’t forget the housekeepers!

See one of my multiple responses to the many, many people who have posted the same comment.

Seriously!? See one of my replies to the 10 other people who have already made the same freaking comment.

You know you’re like the 8th person to make the same comment, right? It was mildly amusing the first time and now it’s just irritating that you can’t be bothered to read the comments before responding.

Given the sad state of sex ed in our public schools I’m not that surprised. I was a bio major and some of my knowledge comes from that but a lot of it I learned when we were getting ready to try to conceive. I’m mildly OCD which mostly expresses itself through perfectionism so I researched the heck out of human…

Idk for sure but when you’re using condoms it might be different. We know for example that when there’s no chance of conception during masturbation the body actually holds most of the sperm back and doesn’t release them in order to save them for partnered sex. It’s quite possible that if you used a condom the same…

“Knowingly directly competing” is another assumption on your part and would be a separate variable.

Hence “they left the letter at his mother’s house”. I didn’t say that Huma told whomever was delivering the letter where to take it because I have no idea if they would have called to confirm an address or just shown up. Unless the person who wrote the letter is the same one who delivers it (which strikes me as…

I think Weiner meant that they left the letter at his mother’s house which would be weird if they did it randomly. My guess is that Huma kicked him out and told whomever was sending the letter that she didn’t know where he was and/or gave them her MIL’s address.

Nope. I have to limit my kids’ fruit consumption on a daily basis.

When you freeze them the water in the cells expands and shatters the cell walls; that’s what changes the texture.

We talk about this a lot in my house because my daughter loves oranges (especially clementines) and frequently gets pissed when I limit her intake.
