In France they have a separate company that verifies the age, and when you then visit your eccentric and embarrassing porn site, they verify the age, but provide no further info.

I agree with this, but not because I intend to boycott american products, i just dont think that consumers benefit when there are very few choices. Some people want only ONE BRAND of cornflakes, and I dont think it is right. This was my view long before Trump

There is this fantastic nineteenth century tech that i came across, which i think could be improved upon by using lightweight modern carbon stuff, like in a bicycle. It is a laundery wringer. You attatch them to a bucket, and then you place your wet laundery in them and use a crank. It must be of such length that the process does not become toilsome. It removes 95% of all water. Then they hung up the laundery in those days when they were in use, and they dried much quicker. If mass produced, students could just have one under the bed, and fetch it when needed. The problem is that those i see are too expensive and in steel, which means heavy and cumbersome. If Musk could ditch this pointless and overly expensive migration plan to Mars, he could solve this high-tech issue and have them sold at low cost to students?

As permanent draught takes hold of the American Midwest, it will affect agricultural output there, and the Ukraine war will also affect food production. So, Canada might produce more food, if temperatures rise? Isn't it natural to assume that what is now grown farther south, in a future of elevated temperatures, might grow well in the north?

No, it is not Darwinism, for in his The Dsecent of Man from the 1870s Darwin extended natural selection to include emotions; it is the individuals who are to reproduce that transmit their genes to the next generation. And the process of dating does not proceed by rape. Then there is a debate concerning "group selection", and whether there is a selective mechanism at that level. Then it shifts a little back and forth, with inheritance of acquired characteristics (Lamarckism) making an occasional comeback until the modern synthesis between Darwin and Mendel in the 1930. But these days, horizontal gene transfer and several other mechanisms continue to blur the image a little. And Gould's old calculations that made directed evolution improbable have also been challenged in computer models, and where they have landed, I do not actually know, since it has been some years since I even thought about this subject. What you are talking about is probably Herbert Spencer, who by some weird coincidence (or perhaps it was intended?), is buried next to his ideological opposite, Karl Marx, in a London cemetery. It is from Spencer that many such things have emerged. His influence upon the robber barons and the shaping of the American right was considerable.

What was she doing there?

If you live your life waiting for confirmation from others you always be disappointed. However, if you live to annoy others....

Some day, when you grow up, you too will see naked adult women. In the meantime, you can do research online...I recommend pubmed, base and core, as well as anatomical atlas.

That people start open newssites is good, but if it is not commercially run, the issue of the backer's influence will always be there. I still hope they make it work, but that they make clear these things.

This song is actually quite catchy. And it would have been quite popular even today with this baritone.
