This reminded me of Rockbitch, whom I'd completely forgotten. This sort of things was part of their stage performance, and they have a section on their website explaining the rules. Keep clicking the skull icons in the bottom right corner to get to the NSFW images.

The real problem there is the reference to naturalnews.com which shouldn't be trusted as a reliable source of news under any circumstances. The CIA's Pakistan vaccine program was deplorable, and it is great that we won't be doing that again, even as the damage has already been done.

I like my vasectomy and wish I'd had it 10 years sooner.

But like almost all forms of birth control, it isn't foolproof. Every now and then the body heals the damage.

I unliked some 300+ Facebook pages yesterday, just to unclutter my news feed and generally make the ones I still like (over 800!) more accessible. That unliking included George Takei because I know I can count on my friends to share his best posts.

And yeah, the passwords should be hashed. That's inexcusable.

For things that aren't stored in plain text, either a password has to be manually input at system boot, or stored somewhere locally, right? How does one solve this problem? I'm not defending the practice, but asking how I, as a system administrator, can provide better security without risking having my systems…

That is so very well said!

Replying to myself, because after using the word 'pudenda' I got a little more curious about it and what it covers, exactly (only labia? mons pubis?)

It might be worth looking back to prehistory. There was a time when both men and women were apparently much hairier than today. Somewhere along the line, both sexes probably developed attraction toward less hairy mates. There seem to be at least some survival advantages to this: hair harbors lice, nits, ticks and…

In addition to the other benefits, it is also a good choice for long exposure astrophotography. Since the mirror doesn't have to move out of the way to expose the sensor, there's less motion inside the camera when a photo is taken. Couple that with the electronic front curtain shutter in the Sony mirrorless cameras,…

The world's population has doubled from 3.5 billion to 7 billion since the year I was born in 1968.

The last half of this interview is really good:

Nick Lane's Oxygen is one of my favorite books of all time. He has another on mitochondria that is a good companion ("Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life")

I can see where people come up with explanations like "the devil made me do it" or "I was possessed by demons". Their behavior doesn't comport with their own persona which creates cognitive dissonance. Having some other agent to blame it on resolves the conflict. At least he isn't blaming Satan.

Cuttlefish do it too. Talk about two-faced!
