But Noah made the same mistake too much of human society makes today: the presumption that all living creatures are heterosexual and desire nothing but heterosexual sex.
Noah, assuming he existed, didn't give a flying fuck what "kind of sex" animals "preferred," because his goal was not a floating fucking orgy, but survival of those species. Actually, even that probably wasn't his motivation so much as GOD saying "get the damn animals in the boat before I drown you, too, and make sure you get mating pairs." And regardless of what they "prefer," two males cannot produce offspring.
It may have been Divine conscription, but there's no reason to violate individual autonomy like that.
Shut up. Given that the Noah story has the Divine, All-Mighty Creator and Destroyer of Worlds telling Noah to gather two of each animal, I suppose you, as Anne "Noah" Marie, would tell him to get bent, because animals got rights, and like sticking things in their bungholes.

The graphite-laced "pebbles" in their reactor could melt down if enough were piled in one place
No, they won't. They are designed to keep the bits of fuel far enough apart that no reaction hot enough to start burning either the fuel itself or its carbon shell could start or sustain itself.
This has actually been tested by running a pebble-bed reactor without coolant for an extended period. It got hot, but no hotter than designed for, and no incident occurred.

Rebirthing is a crackpot technique of suffocating a child, and then rescuing it, so that it "bonds" with its new parents.
Try using the < or > keys in normal mode. You can also use those keys in combination with any movement command or object selection command to shift in/out the appropriate chunk of text. Indentation is based on the setting of shiftwidth.
Thanks! I appreciate the help.
You clearly never graduated from the "if I can't learn it in 5 minutes it can't be any good" school of thought.
Fuck you! You clearly never graduated from the "I get to be an intolreable prick because it makes me feel better about my own suprtiority" school.
In Vim you can also visually select a block (hit V then move around, or use the mouse to select) and then hit to indent.
Thanks! That's useful. I still won't be using vi for my day-to-day editing.
My editor -- nedit -- allows me to select a region of text and shift its indentation in our out as a unit. Jcc ("Code Crusader") also allows me to do this. As does Visual Studio's editor, when I have to use it.
Vi doesn't. But I only use vi when I have to. I never want to.
