Are we allowed to ask genuine questions about sex on here, or does it count as adult content?
Q. I have some questions that I'm curious about that I don't want to ask friends, because frankly I'm way too old not to know the answers. I know that you can't post questions/answers that have adult content, but what if they aren't offensive and I am asking out of curiosity? I don't want to be reported for them.

A. Here's the information you need to look at:

Can I ask questions about sex?

Sex and sexual health questions are allowed on Answers as long as they are not graphic. Don�t refer to body parts with profane words, don�t over-share sexual details, and don�t represent yourself with an avatar that represents adult content. Be sure to categorize your question correctly because it is possible for a question to be abusive in the context of a specific category, even if it would not be considered abusive in the context of a different category.

Hope this should answer your question.

questions about nuclear power plants and the sun?

Q. Questions; answer for both
Nuclear Power Plant (Not Fossil Fueled)
and Sun

What are the fuel sources?

How is the fuel used to produce/release energy?
What are the similarities in the way they produce energy?

Are there any health hazards associated with the way they produce energy?

Why is energy released when the nuclear reactions take place? Talk about this using your research on the forces that hold the nucleus of an atom together.

A. This can't be answered with a few words.
A nuclear power plant uses fission to get energy. Fission means, splitting. The sun uses fusion, which means sticking.
In a fission reactor the fuel is enriched uranium. The atoms have a large surplus of neutrons which makes it radioactive, neutrons are ejected from the atoms. The rector stimulates this emission under controlled conditions, a lot of heat is generated in the process, the heat is used to boil water and the steam drives electrical generators.
Our sun is a fusion furnace, hydrogen under great pressure and heat is fused into helium, in the process part of the hydrogen atoms that are fused are converted into energy in the form of radiation. E=MC2. There are no similarities in the two methods of production.
dangerous hazards to health are present in each case.


Do your health benefits stay the same if you transfer within the company?
Q. I am moving from Miami to Las Vegas (hopefullly!) and just found that one of the companies that the global company I work for now is in LV and has an opening I would be great for.

As I am desperately not trying to alarm the HR person at my job OR my boss and just need to get very one important questioned answered, does anyone who works in HR know if my health benefits will stay the same if this is technically just a transfer?

IS this a transfer? The company I work for recently acquired this company and a couple of other ones, as well.

A. It would really depend on the company.
I work for a retail vhain of stores and you can transfrer and keep benefits .
however some companies trat different divisions of the compan differently.
In general I would say that if the place you are transfering to is called the same thing you are probably OK however if it's owned by the same people and called something different you are probably starting over weit benefits


Questions on the book Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Enhenreich?
Q. I have to write a paper,
and I need the following questions answered, and some examples!
I have the concept, but I didn't exactly read the book...

Does minimum way provide a liviable wage to Americans in the working class?
How did education, housing, health care, and gender play a role in the opportunities Barbara faced?
What might you do to rectify the situation of a living wage?
What did you learn from this book?


THANK YOU!

A. Got an afternoon or evening?

I read it on a recent car trip in under four hours. I'm not an amazingly fast reader. You can start at any single chapter or section and read just the one, since you know the basic concept, or skip around and get the feel for the different jobs she did.

Skim it at least. All your questions can be easily answered without in-depth reading.

Your teacher is hoping the students will learn the value of education by assigning reading showing the working lives of the uneducated. I really hope you'll take the message even if you can't make time to read it. Living as the working poor sucks.

Is it considered improper to give a star to every question you answer on Yahoo Answers?

Q. I give a star to every question I answer. I noticed a woman in the mental health section had a problem with that. But then it is the mental health section so perhaps she was paranoid.

Is giving a star for every question proper, or improper? I usually like everyone to know an interesting question I've seen. That's why I star all of them.

A. Well I think that is your business. I can see that you give a lot of stars, you know it comes up under contacts questions.
I prefer to only give stars to really amazing questions or to questions that I think my contacts could help with.

How good of a position am I in to convince me to take me to a psychiatrist?
Q. I have printed 3 online tests saying I could be BiPolar. They have noticed my strange behavior and noted on it in the past. I have over 5 questions answered by you guys and the mental health section telling me to get checked out. Where does this put me if I asked my parents to take me?

A. if you ask the question ..would you take me to see a psychiatrist because i think i am bi polar..the result hopefully will be yes we will take you... maybe you will have to explain why you think you need to speak to a mental health professional.. you sound rational and in control of your behaviour to be able to lucidly ask what your needs may be and follow it through...
i dont know your history or do i know of what strange behaviour you are speaking about but if it concerns you enough then do speak to your doctor and get referred to a psychiatrist or CPN..either way you can only be doing a good thing because there may come a time where if you are bipolar and you leave it you may get very unwell and not be in a position to ask for help and it could be unpleasant for you and everyone around you.. maybe getting some literature on bipolar will also help and it will give you ammunition to take to your parents.. once you discolse you think there is some thing wrong and your worried about your mental health you will start the ball rolling to get you the help you deserve.. it is treatable and there is every possibility you will make a full recovery..dont leave it any longer ..my advice is make a diary of your thoughts and anything you think of you are experiencing on a day to day then when you see your doctor you have something to help you focus..write everything even if you dont think its applicable..
in answer to your question where does it put me..the answer is in a better position in terms of your mental health being assessed and keeping mentally healthy.. good luck

How did Obama's Congressional address regarding health care reform last night make you feel?
Q. Were all your questions answered? Do the numbers now add up or make logical sense? Did you feel like he insulted anyone? Overall, what did you take away from his speech?

A. I sat in complete disgust and disbelief last night. How this man who
calls himself the President of the United States. could use his position
and presence in the Congress of the United States to attack and
berate the opposition of this country.

I really wanted this guy to show some leadership. But all we got
was petty partisan BS.

He made nothing clear. His comments were just rewrites of his
past speeches and lies.

I found his time at the podium contemptable at best. And a slap in
the face to the Republicans, Conservatives and Independents across
this country.

When is Yahoo Answers going to start using Captcha?
Q. It pains me to say this, but Y!A really needs to tighten security around here. I see too many of my financial and health related questions get answers by assholes with nothing better to do but spam the site.

A. I agree with your anger at the spam merchants but that will only discourage the genuine users and the spammers will carry on. A better way is to join the effort on the forum where many of the regulars are making an effort to report them into oblivion. If enough people spare a short time each day maybe they will bu***r off somewhere else.
