From FOX News, a report that will make all IT technicians, programmers and gamers happy. According to a survey, computer geeks make the best sex partners.
Catherine the Great, one of the greatest rulers and politicians the world has ever seen. A great woman, but not a good woman (just like Saladin was a great man, but not a good man). The Russians were lucky that they got two great rulers within 3 generations, Catherine II having succeeded her mother-in-law, Catherine I, who in turned succeeded her husband Peter the Great.
Catherine brought Russia forward, modernising it and further expanding it to areas where Peter could not in his lifetime.
However, she was not a sympathetic towards the peasants. In fact, she almost totally ignored the common man during her rule. She probably would have hated the idea of a Communist Russia to the core.
She was also a slut, though it didn't impede her ability to rule. Generous as she was to her lovers even after the affairs had ended, she did not ruin the government by placing too many incompetent men in high places. It helped that she liked intelligent men, and if Voltaire had visited Russia she most likely would have bedded him too, then gave him an important position somewhere.
She was one serious MILF and it wasn't because she was dropdead gorgeous. Fucking her was like getting a Ph.D today - once you get it you're settled for life.
She's accused of having known about her husband's murder beforehand and let it happen, if not actually having a hand in it. No evidence of that, but it seemed very likely because Peter III was an incompetent tsar. A shrewd woman like her would have done something like that; exiling him might let her opponents to use him later to undermine her position.
I like the Xzibit meme...
This is the future of society, where children give birth to more children, and start working after menopause. The lack of self-control is making us come full circle. Boys who've just discovered the joys of an erection, and girls who have just realized that their vagina is more than just the place where pee comes out, becoming parents and have their situations supported by the public.Self-control is civilization. People really need to remember that.
And those boys seriously need to get their eyes checked. Oh wait, British girls are normally that ugly. My bad.
This trend can shape our evolution. Children who have their reproductive organs mature earlier are having sex at a younger age, giving birth to children who are similar in this manner. This can be offset by the fact that children often cannot afford to bring up their own children and this can reduce the probability of teenage pregnancies. However, with the support of their parents and other people there would be no problem for children who have their own children.
C'mon, they need abortions. All underaged girls should be required by law to have abortions when they are pregnant. In many developed countries today, the welfare system is so good people who do not work can still afford to raise children. Hence there is little need to stop underaged pregnancies. Note that I use the word need, not desire. There is plenty of desire, but not enough need.
Either require abortion or start teaching children about sex and contraceptives at the age of ten!
Or we can look at it from another, more liberal way.
If they can afford to raise a child, then why not let them? Society is evolving, we cannot deny that. If it is okay for teenagers to start they own family, then it is okay. The unfit dies out, that is the way of nature. If teenage pregnancy doesn't stop and becomes common instead, then it is not an unhealthy thing, is it?
I've been working on a project with a group to make a mechanical product. No it's schoolwork, not done out of interest. We've been working on this window wiper with a flexible handle and after looking at a prototype of it, only one thing comes to mind but I cannot say it to them.
IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK!!!!
At first when we were thinking of stuff to make, this guy suggested making this. When we question him on how soft the handle would be, he assured us that it would be hard enough to clean windows with. We trusted him because he spoke confidently.
Because we were forced to confirm our product within a week, we bought the materials after we submitted the product name and an introduction to it.
It was only then that we saw that we had trusted the wrong guy. He probably had never cleaned a window before. Now we have a flexible handle that bends not only when we bend it into an L-shape, but also when we push it against the glass.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU...
Just reached the round in Caesar 4 in which I had to rebuild Carthage. The fire really annoyed me. Once in a while, a lot of fires would suddenly start in the city. It would be so much that even spamming a hundred Prefects' Office (firestations cum police post) doesn't help. I had about 20 of them around my "residential zone" and it still managed to burn down most of my homes.
The thing about homes in Caesar 4 is that they upgrade themselves several times when certain conditions are met. This expands the homes but takes time. Land is not cheap in a successful city, so making them upgrade is a must.
At one time, a major fire burnt down 90% of my fully upgraded peasant homes, effectively removing about 2000-2500 manual labourers and about 200-300 skilled workers from my city. I did try to stop my city from suffering from a major workforce shortage by rebuilding them and hope that my prefects would do their job, but after watching 3 new homes burnt down before the people could move in, I gave up and just let it burn.
I could just build more homes elsewhere, but nowhere in the map was safe. My factories and warehouses were also being burnt at the other end of the map but they are less important because they don't take time to start working effectively.
And I had about 10 Prefects' Office all around the factories too! It simply doesn't help enough.
It's really painful to watch my city burn up helplessly, but I'm glad I can build while in Pause mode. The second the fires stopped, I paused the game and rebuilt everything. I recovered, but that was because I was lucky only 1 of my 3 granaries was burnt down. No labourers means no food, and for a few months I was living on food I had stored in case Rome asked for food in exchange for better reputation.
While my city burnt, I wondered if the Romans really did raze the city to the ground. According to this game it seemed more likely Carthage burnt itself down and the Romans just happened to come across it...
Kim Jong-Il seems to be looking for a fight. Why aren't they invading the country??? North Korea is a Communist country, it's under a dictatorship and best of all, they want everyone to know they have nukes! Even the infamous Iraq fulfilled merely one of the above.
Conquering it would most likely be a piece of cake. The whole place is about 100 years behind the rest of the world; I'd be surprised if their bullets can penetrate kevlar.
