The uterus falling out is ridiculous, but issues with women and long distance running are real.
Australia lowered training standards for the military (slower runs, softer surfaces) due to pelvic stress fractures in female recruits.

Childhood nutrition can have strong affects on adult height.
In the 19th century blacks were on average about an inch shorter in height than whites. It's not a thing these days since anti-poverty programs basically closed the gap for the 1930 birth cohort.
But in the 1950s a 40 year old American grew up with smaller black people. They didn't realize that it was nutritional instead of genetic.
It was also an issue for peasants in Europe, not sure on the exact years. European aristocrats visiting the US were shocked to discover that the average man was the same height they were.

It's very difficult. Generally the police don't need to reveal anything until they are making submissions to the court.
You might be able to do a public records request for CCTV footage in the area. I know you used to be able to do that in at least some parts of the UK.

I met a guy at a meetup who's contracting specialty was using CVS (Concurrent Versioning System). Specifically he specialized in helping out companies who tried to use the branch feature in CVS and had screwed up their repo.

Wikipedia had diffs long before that. There were also older source control systems, but they tended to focus on tracking files instead of tracking sets of changes to multiple files.
The Canadian legislation process was pretty archaic back in 2010 or so when I had some direct knowledge.
The House of Commons, the Prime Ministers Office, and the various ministries are all involved in drafting legislation and all have their own completely separate IT systems. Their IT departments disabled all of the collaboration features outside of their individual Microsoft Domain for "security". All collaboration was done by emailing full documents or reading changes over the phone.
So screw ups like this will naturally happen. Of course it's entirely possible that someone did it on purpose.

They made the new movies on a crazy timeline. A new movie of the trilogy every two years.
The first final drafts of scripts where due before there was a final cut of the previous movie.
Obviously doing something like that requires careful planning. Naturally they did no planning.
The first movie copied all of the beats of ANH. The second movie is supposed to set up the final conflict of the third movie.
Then Rian Johnson came in for the second and did his own thing. He either ignored or was possibly never aware of some of the things the first movie set up. He killed off The Big Bad / Chessmaster (Snoke) and promoted the Dragon (Kylo Ren) to be the new Big Bad.
Some people liked how it subverted their expectations, but it subverted the arc of the series.
For the third movie they had no villain with a grand plan, no idea where character's stories were supposed to go, and Bob Iger wouldn't budge on the timeline. It had to be out xmas 2019.

I keep seeing The Vorkorsigan Saga pop up in recommendations.
I gave the Warrior's Apprentice a shot, but Miles spends so much of it moping around the house not doing anything. Can you recommend one of the other books that's friendlier to someone with a short attention span who isn't that interested in hearing about the main character's family members?
One of Hamas' things is control over aid distribution in Gaza. They infiltrate and intimidate the normal aid workers.
Normal aid workers and security services aren't thrilled about the idea of getting kinetic with Hamas to distribute aid. Hiring radicals makes more sense than hiring people in denial about the situation.
