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?

What was she doing there?

Well, the problem is that on these old cylinders there is quite a lot of static noise, and then in addition sometimes a sort or repeating thump every time the cylinder rotates. When you then remove the static and thump, you take some of the fullness of the original voice. I do not doubt that those with better equipment than myself would get a better outcome. But it is not easy. They have a recording of both Queen Victoria and Lord Tennyson. And it is very hard to extract something you can be sure is genuine. I hope these Ai services would set up some template for this. It should actually be quite easy, as the noise profiles on all of these are almost identical, and that subtraction process would be much better. It could be very interesting to hear the oldest voices on wax cylinder. I did this because enjoyed the song, probably because I also used to enjoy drinking :) Some people like other things, that’s ok…:)

That you don’t like the song, I cannot comment on. That is an individual taste. But the original recording was a wax recording, remember that. To get from a wax recording to this is not bad. But I do not know who you are, and you may have much superior skills and resources. I just wanted to mention this wax recording point.

These are actual letters sent to and from Hoover, not fiction. And the subject is politics in 1963. James Baldwin and the 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.
