I know how much time it takes to do a piddling couple of paragraphs, can't imagine researching and composing a great story like that one.
I get the impression that domestic cats came from Cheetahs. The way they take to some people and ignore others, and rather than a go for the throat attack, they just reach out and cut you when you don't expect it. No muss, no fuss, tag you're it.

Photographer Visits Famous Tourist Spots, Faces The Wrong Direction…

I found it kind of interesting. Going to famous landmarks, and looking the other direction. Unless you've been there, ya don't ever see what's behind the photographer.

Washington Post

The Ex-Im Bank loans money, your tax money, to promote business.
The borrowers;
#1 PEMEX Oil owned by the government of Mexico - $7 Billion.
#2 Emirates Airlines owned by the government of Dubai - $3.34 Billion.
#3 State-owned Kenya Airways.
#4 State-owned Air China.
#5 Russia’s state-owned bank VEB.
#6 Roy Hill mining, owned by Australia’s richest woman, a multibillionaire.

All the Democrats, and most of the Republicans voted to continue the Im-Ex Bank.

To be fair, the loans are contingent on them using the money to buy US products. So the money still primarily goes to large corporations, but US ones.

At this link you will find the 256 page, 63 MB, NASA Apollo 11 Press kit.

At the same location is the Apollo 11 Press Kits for 41 of the Apollo 11 contractors.

How in the hell does Dufuckingbai need to borrow money from anyone?

Happy Monkey · 05-17-2019, 09:54 AM

We're bribing them to buy US planes instead of Airbus.

Bribing? Surely not.

I think such payments are known as 'commissions' in the Middle East.

From the NY Times:

Quote:

BAE Systems, Europe’s largest military contractor, agreed on Friday to plead guilty to two criminal charges and pay nearly $450 million in penalties in the United States and Britain to end long-running investigations into questionable payments made to win huge contracts overseas.

Pics from inside an BDSM adult movie studio

Outside of a juggy, trussed up statue, it's surprisingly safe for work.

YMMV

Ah, Grav found pics of the old kink.com studios, while they were moving locations.
I have seen most of those sets in one video or another. Interesting to see them minus the "stuff" and performers.
