Ahhhh, unionized government employees.

Nothing to do but to continue abandonment of the city, until it's little more than a bloated government taxing it's own employees to death, in-between bouts of whining for Federal money to make up the difference.

I submit it's unlikely an alien life form would be an extreme-o-phile. Extreme conditions are tough to survive in, by definition.
What are they thinking? Alien life forms couldn't compete, and thus would only exist if they came, pre-evolved, to exist in some situation where they'd receive little or no competition?
I would hope they aren't thinking "alien life = weird, extreme-o-phile = weird, therefore alien life is probably an extreme-o-phile." Does not compute.
As a person once much fatter than I am, that's not what I ordered. This is typically what I'd do:
"Hi, I'd like a Big Mac (or maybe Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese) meal, super sized, with two extra dollar double cheeseburgers."
Or when Big Macs were on sale for 99 way back when, I'd get three of those. When, as a tween and teen, we went to McDonald's (pre-combo days), I'd get two Big Macs and a fries and a shake. Some days, I'd say to mom, "Can I get an extra Big Mac instead of fries? Yes?" and get three Big Macs.
And every fiber of your being says shoving tasty food down your gullet until gorged is an awesome thing to do. And it was. For the first million years of human history.

Apparently you've never heard of "political science", the only "science" that finds it ethical to experiment on unwilling participants.
I'd put a/sacrasm=off pseudo-tag here, except I'm not being sarcastic.
They tested this and found that almost exclusively, fat people burned calories the same as thin people. They just ate more food.
While metabolic disorders do exist, they are extremely rare, and the vast, vast majority of vast people just eat too much for their exercise level.
The real problem is a lack of physical activity during the day. The human body and appetite evolved to satisfy a person who was moving around most of the day gathering food. When I worked in a factory during summers of college, I always lost weight, even though I didn't change my eating habits.
Take the sedentary lifestyle (we're talking work, not sitting on the sofa in the evenings) and throw in very cheap, plentiful food engineered to taste good = loaded with fat and sugar and calories, and you get what you see around you.
It isn't an issue of odd chemistry, or of lazy people. It's the unfortunate side effect of a powerful, modern economy where non-physical labor specialties are the rule rather than the exception and food is plentiful. Like our medical system, which provides innumerable treatments and cures, all of which cost money, it's something to be proud of rather than shied away from.

Gene Simmons should shut the hell up and tell his almost 6' tall, gorgeous, black-haired, big-red-lipped daughter to turn 18 already so Maxim can do a spread, thanks.

I think he meant "damned-huge dragonflies".

I think the current working theory is humans are herbivore/bug eaters, like great apes.
A bananna and a pile of grubs? Oh, baby!
We won't turn down a fish lying there, neither will a deer, but it's not a core diet staple.
That's for "a combo meal".
