Actually no. Your sexuality is what it is. Abuse, upbringing, morality, religiosity and everything connected to it are determining how you deal with your sexuality. But it doesn't change it. As an analogon: There are people who, are righthanded and those, who are lefthanded. Being wounded early in life at one hand doesn't change that (as everyone knows who was forced into righthandedness as a child).
That is a typical case of correlation, not a case of causation. People who perform good in a job often also have a stable private life, and for heterosexual people, in the most cases it means having a spouse and a family. Different cultural backgrounds interpret this correlation differently. You opt for "married men make better performers", just 50 years ago it was: "men with a steady job make good marriage material" or "first find a job, then find a spouse".
Both interpretations have long traditions. In the Middle Ages, men without a regular profession were denied marriage general, based on the second interpretation. In St. Paul's letters, you find the characterization of a good bishop which includes having a wife and childen (until now, you can't become an christian-orthodox priest without being married), emphasizing the first interpretation.
But all we really have is a correlation. People performing good at tasks with great responsibility tend to perform good at being the CxO of a company or having a stable family life.
No, really not. We should recommend the governments in Israel, Syria, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Mexico, China, North Korea and New Jersey to finally implement all those surveillance systems, sting operations, character and person assassination techniques our agencies use to finally make their countries better places.
If you ask that yourself, the tactics have succeeded halfway already -- seeding mistrust has worked.
So you should look at the message itself, not at the person you get the message from. If the message contains further tainting of a messenger, it will seed more mistrust. Try to focus on arguments of fact, not arguments of person or source. Then you will weed out most deception.
No, it doesn't, because in fact, the coastal regions of the Netherlands would be flooded by today's sea levels, if it wasn't for the dikes and constant pumping.
I would consider this influence very small, probably not even noticeable right now, compared with the risk due to the higher age of the father. It is a far cry from an 1% increase of risk (which is just a link, not a known causal connection right now) for cancer by the CT and MRI scans one gets during life, and the 50% increase in risk for autism, especially when we know already about the increased health risks for the child if the woman is 10 years older. It would be rather surprising if an older father doesn't add to the risk for the health of a child.
This is fundamentally why you shouldn't care that the NSA might be listening.
I still care. The NSA has been connected to business espionage, to providing the FBI with tips where to look for criminals and to be lying to the people tasked with controlling them. The first two have nothing to do with national security, the later means that the NSA is unwilling to be controlled at all. It has massive problems with internal security. We only know that Edward Snowden was able to get his hands on many important documents withhin the NSA because he came forward. We don't know about any other leaks that were never intended to be published. Instead of suspecting Edward Snowden of providing information to foreign spy agencies, we should rather worry how many people have done so already without being caught. We know that it is possible on a large scale.
The NSA seems not able to actually warn about or help to uncover terroristic plots against the U.S., no case is known where they provided early leads or at least substantial help. We have no means to even control the quality of data they provide for attacking terrorist suspects in other regions of the world. We just get the information from the news agencies that a "local leader of <terrorist group du jour>" was killed by a drone attack. If the person really was a terrorist by any means, we don't know. In many cases I suspect the local government to use the U.S.' willingness to execute drone attacks as an easy way to deal with the opponents.
So fundamentally, I don't trust an agency that tries to spy indiscriminately on everyone on the premises that any information gathered can be useful right now or later, that is unwilling to be scrutinized by the people whose task it is to scrutinize the agency, that seems to have no effective internal control structures, that pathologically lies to everyone and whose utility for the task at hand is at least questionable.
No, they were discussing how to cover their asses if it was found out. "Malicious foreign actor" is a nice excuse, because you could spin anything so it fits the description.
Rather not. It's one of the pet hypotheses, but according to Platon (who first told about Atlantis), it was one of his myths to explain something. Even the person who talks about the fictional Atlantis (Timaios) is probably fictional. Planton told several myths (like the one about the spheric humans), and all have the same character: They are introduced in his dialogs as a monolog of the older of both persons, and the person always claims oral tradition as source. Why Atlantis should have been real, while the spheric humans are not, is left as exercise to the reader.

I don't know about California, but in Germany, water gets used on average five times before running into the sea. As collecting and treating all used water is mandantory, and you have to pay for the sewers, the water runs a complete cycle from the well to the utility to your household, the water treatment plant and back into the ground- or surface water, and you pay for the whole cycle.
Actually, mayonnaise an emulsion of vinegar and an acid like citric acid or vinegar. As emulgator, the lecithine from egg yolks is used. Additionally, moustard can be used as emulgator.
It depends on how you are playing. The goods economy is complex, and many factors are playing a role. Goods have different requirements when it comes to speed of transport. Earnings will fall if you transport some goods too slowly, but other goods will yield the same revenue independent of transporting times. Factories have suppliers and customers, they change them during the gameplay by adding new suppliers and new customers, new factories pop up, the supply chains can get quite long and diverse. Two similar, neighbouring factories can have different suppliers and customers, but can also have shared ones. Factories have to a) find a customer willing to take the goods (if production is stalled at a customer, it will not request new goods), b) have enough supplies, c) have a working connection to the customer and d) being able to unload their goods on a station with enough capacity. If goods are piling up somewhere on the way, it can also happen that the production stalls, and some suppliers have a periodic production profile. There are more general transport vessels which can transport several kinds of goods (e.g. coal, ore and sand), and specialized ones for a single type of good (like car transporters). Different transporting vessels have different maximum speeds and maximum load, so you can optimize e.g. the locomotive and the type of rail/street you build on the kind goods you are transporting. It often makes sense to built different tracks or streets for different types of load, even if they are running in parallel, because you can better saturize them if the vehicles have similar speeds. Simutrans has a quite extensive signalling system, which allows you to operate very complex networks.
You can operate ships, cars, streetcars, trains and airplanes, some graphic paks also include monorails and subways. Not all types of transport support all goods. You can add supply chains (including the necessary vehicles) as separate paks. You have different graphic sets with different resolutions. A nice add on is the energy system, where some power plants need goods (coal plants, oil plants), others don't (solar plants, wind wheels). Cities will grow faster, if their mail and passengers have good connections. Cities will also grow faster if you build roads, as they grow along them. Stations only cover a fixed area (which is configurable), if a town grows, you have to expand the traffic network. Stations itself can be expanded which also increases their area of coverage. Stations can also be built in tunnels and on bridges, allowing for ever increasing capacities of them if necessary even in crowded areas.
And I should add, that I play Alpha Centauri in a VMware. As it insists on Full Screen mode, it just looks bad on a recent display which does not fit the game's 1024x768 resolution. Thus I finally have a windowed Alpha Centauri;)
I'm still playing Alpha Centauri, the successor of the original Civilisation. And I am playing Simutrans, a free transport simulator. Call me whatever you want, but I never got the hang of the more recent games.
As far as we know, there is no ongoing prosecution in the UK against the Guardian or journalists linked to the Snowden whistleblowing. There were some threats, there were some preliminary investigations, there was even the embarrassing attempt to pressure Mr. Miranda into giving in, but since then, all open actions have stopped, and the threats from goverment members, police or members of parliament have ceased.
Most of the reasons being to lazy to roll out DNS for all IP addresses, even internal ones and keeping track of changes. As I said: IPv4-addresses were still memorizable, thus many people kept using them directly.
That's simply not the case. The smallest tank I ever had in an european car was 50 liters, and this was a compact with a small 1,2 liter 3-cyl-engine. The company car has 55 liters, and my previous car had 74 liters. I have yet to see an european car with a 30 liter tank, the only one that came close was the old East German Trabant, which indeed had only a 25 liter tank, but this was a car with a 600 ccm 2-cyl-two-stroke engine.

Women are also, arguably, slightly better writers than men on average because they make more of an effort in primary school.
... which just means that an slightly above average man can impersonate an average woman.

But in Germany, it's you who is paying for the processing via the sewer fees. So it's potable when it leaves your (financial) responsibility.

Sorry, mistype. The emulsion consists of oil and acid disolved in water. The emulgator is lecithine from egg yolk.
Sorry, messing up the french moutarde and the english mustard. Both means the same. No wonder when talking about a french sauce with a french name :)
