In 2009 Johnson space center employed around 30K individuals in Texas and generated approximately 3 billion dollars in business within the state (according to NASA). 30K jobs lost would definitely suck, but when we're looking at a state with a trillion dollar plus GSP - losing NASA isn't going to be that painful. The…

Seasonal flu shots aren't incredibly helpful for herd immunity because vaccination rates are so low (since this isn't a required shot except for medical workers in most cases). Vaccination rates for most seasons hover around 25%, sometimes reaching up to 50% in years when the news predicts an especially bad flu…

When I was thinking about this, all I could remember was the "Not My President" t-shirts for Bush that, originally, had crosshairs on his forehead and the amount of controversy they caused. We're free to express negative opinions about the president, even in disrespectful manners... but there are some lines people…

He's saying his seat in the Senate is more legitimate because he was elected in a mid-term election - so the idiots who don't understand just weren't out voting? That's what it seems like he's saying. Damn these big elections bringing out all the dummy vote.

Seriously, lets just focus on that last tweet.

If you look at the picture, there are voting booths directly in front of the mural.

What if they can't vote? I have more than a couple of non-citizen, permanent resident friends tied up in the election.

A lot of people in the US ARE "part X," there's a reason the US is often referred to as a melting pot - and it's not just because everyone here is part Germans AND part English. We have mixed up and diverse ancestries at this point - especially when parts of our families have been here since pre-revolutionary times.…

I know several pipeline engineers through my friend's husband. These jobs aren't year round - they only get paid WHEN they're working which is (usually) about 6 months per year. Also, there's a decent chance that where he's at... he's near entry level for this field if it's pay is similar to working on helium…

Splitting hairs here... but it's three times the size, which puts her around 9.75 oz... which is still pretty dang small sounding. Even for a Yorkshire mix? I'm betting the breeder was aiming for the "micro" sized Yorkies.

Upskirt shots - IN SOME STATES - are illegal, especially of minors.

Yeah, I think that's why people are shocked she's considered plus sized... she doesn't seem out of proportion - she just happens to be very amazingly tall!

She's 6'1" and a size 12, which by fashion standards is generally where a plus sized model would fall. Apparently the average size is 14, but being a scientist... averages mean little to me without further information (like I'd like to see a distribution). I'm not calling her large or unattractive by any means... I'm…

Those laws apply to places with a reasonable expectation of privacy, the intended use of the photograph, etc... Additionally, things like upskirt photos ARE ILLEGAL - I forget the name of the law, but it's federal. Basically, the reasoning was something along the lines of - even if you're wearing a skirt, there's…

This is pretty much correct. They didn't study tea because tea has never been linked to this effect in epidemiological studies - whereas coffee consumption has been repeatedly, enough to warrant research. Keep in mind that a lot of the studies that led to this work were based in the US - where coffee consumption is…

Hey look, a pretentious response to outrage over a pretentious asshole vandalizing a piece of art. Rothko is definitely someone many people "don't get" but there are PLENTY of people that are educated and enjoy what he did/are understandable outraged about this... and I'm betting a decent number of Jezebel readers…

First, no... Second it's fast food. Totally different class of restaurant.

Yeahhh right, you're going to get a patpat, don't worry dear - you're SPECIAL. This site is totally unapologetic about their anti-Southern views which extend way, way beyond politics.

Thanks for wasting your vote! It's really great voting for what you believe it... except in our voting system - especially when so much is at risk. I guess if you were between voting for a third party and not voting, who cares? Our voting system is NOT built to sustain more than two parties for long periods of time…

Sadly, a lot of a manicure lasting depends on how you use your hands, your job and just your body. If you're like me - in and out of latex gloves all day, washing hands constantly - your manicure is doomed no matter what you do.
