That's really nice. I remember when I was 8 or so, I phoned up NASA and told them I'd drawn up plans for a spaceship. The lady on the phone sweetly took me very seriously and asked questions about where such a thing would launch (

I had to look up what a "skifter" is. An AI answer showed that it's Norwegian for a switch. I'm curious, does the word have a further meaning in the context of cheating at cards?

Taking a longer view of history... One metric of change would be that statutory (underage) rape wasn't a crime anywhere 200 years ago. In some countries, it still isn't. Mass rape and kidnapping is going on right now from Nigeria
