Oh, the Sherry Rogers who was reprimanded for "gross negligence" AND "gross incompetence" by the State of New York? I'm sure she's a very trustworthy source.

this article doesn't list any source to show that those diets aren't beneficial.

Well, there's not always a source because there's no reason to do a big study here, we know that's not how the body works, which all the experts here agreed with.

A friendly reminder that Title IX applies to all schools that receive federal funding (acknowledging that this graphic is college focused):

I just want to give them all hugs.

They don't ditch radios. Where did you come up with that idea?

This has more to do with the difficulty in coordinating the rescue effort, not whether or not the pilot has his radio. As sad as it may be, he may not even be alive.

For that suggestion, she gets to drink FROM THE FIRE HOSE!!!!

Because when you allow a person to be an individual and you allow a person to have power within and have confidence on who they are, you'll never have to look into the eyes of a man and question whether it's a yes or a no. She's gonna be very clear: No. She's gonna be very clear: yes. And she's gonna be in a position…
