Oh snap .

Thanks, Conrad. This is exactly right. I don't think its appropriate to blame poor fuel efficiency on people's bodies. People are also taller than they used to be, so should we blame construction waste on the fact that railings need to be taller in new buildings? Let's design our technology...

I like this one too. I also think that it might be a bit more primeval: in moments of crisis, natural selection would favor those who mate with partners who are more crisis-resilient--such as those who are particularly strong or fat or confident.

Thanks! Can't wait!

I'm excited to marry a BBW next month. She is, for the sake of the discussion, "already a BBW." I think we'd both count it as having our wedding cake and eating it too. ;)

*heart sink*

Totally! That was my foray into Dimensions (and onto the web, for that matter) back in 1997 or so. Sigh...how far we've come...

Discrimination totally exists. A buddy of mine and I were talking about how the topic of discussion in his class the other day was regarding obesity, so he curiously looked around the room to see how the fat people were reacting to all this. Yet, here at Harvard Business School, in a classroom...

Good point. I'm sure it depends on the nature of the bond connection between the two craft. That being said, the lift is likewise being generated by the velocity of each of the two craft, likely produced solely by the 747's engines (to conserve the shuttle's fuel). The lift in the shuttle's...

Posy, before and after, as requested.

These were awesome. Well written; focused while offering a fairly succinct survey of the general landscape. Thanks for doing this, J!

DevenDoom is a prolific badger historian.

I feel so....defined....

Does it creep anyone else out that all her images are copyrighted by Facebook?

The health presumption is a little flawed. I would be loathe to "encourage" someone to lose weight, but I would be supportive if it were necessary/happened involuntarily. A woman's body is her prerogative. But this poll is a flawed, I think. Vaguely assuming that weight loss is the path away...

I would guess that I'm fairly opposite to this thesis. I don't carry much in the way of Asperger's traits; instead I'm quite people-focused, work hard to be direct, lack attention rather than obsess, and truly am an expert in nothing. That being said, perhaps its easier to find FA's with...

This question is a little funny to me too. It's sort of akin to asking, "what did you eat that made you male?" I think for a lot of us this is more nature than nurture.

Ever said anything size-insensitive? Probably. But these days he's fairly respectful about that sort of thing--at least while I'm present.

I don't think either of my parents entirely "get it" but I've had frank discussions with them both. I think they both realise they can't change that part about me, and in general I think they've been [otherwise] excited by the kind of women I've brought home. I think they also appreciate that...

I've cooked a bunch with coconut oil. There are some things that its not as awesome to cook with, but in general its great. It treats vegetables well, and has a very quiet delicious flavor. It's more expensive and more healthy, but I'd still recommend it.
