My humble proposal to fix not-in-my-backyard - tax all local governments, give a tax break or even a subsidy to those who have windmills. This by the way should be the rule for the EU as a whole - some countries are naturally better at prod

What makes me very uncomfortable is that are enough men that not only not care about, but actually enjoy rape to make it a huge market. This is not something that happens "between two consenting adults". If you read the article yo

I remember using dosemu for some gamesabout 15 years ago on a slow computer. It was much faster than dosbox. Nowadays it doesn't seem to matter. It was also really easy to setup.
