1914, the Free Alcohol bill is amended again to decrease the regulatory burden and encourage alcohol fuel production in the U.S.
1917, Alexander Graham Bell: "Alcohol makes a beautiful, clean and efficient fuel…Alcohol can be manufactured from corn stalks, and in fact from almost any vegetable matter capable of fermentation…We need never fear the exhaustion of our present fuel supplies so long as we can produce an annual crop of alcohol to any extent desired" [15].
1918, Scientific American says: It is "now definitely established that alcohol can be blended with gasoline to produce a suitable fuel…" [16]. Another article notes that the Pasteur Institute of France found it could obtain 10 U.S. gallons (38 L) of ethanol per ton of seaweed [17].
1919, Prohibition of beverage alcohol in the U.S. leads to suggestions for more ethanol use as an anti-knock blend with gasoline [18]. Farm belt politicians are split on ethanol as a fuel. While distillers could have a new market for their alcohol, some thought that allowing any distillery to stay open would be a "bargain with the devil."
1920s-1930s, Koolmotor, Benzalcool, Moltaco, Lattybentyl, Natelite, Alcool, and Agrol are some of the gasoline-ethanol blends of fuels once found in Britain, Italy, Hungary, Sweden, South Africa, Brazil and the USA (respectively). More
(BBC) Hidden mere meters under Mexico's modern capital, a series of temples, royal palaces, and mysterious artifacts from an ancient kingdom are being unearthed.
As we descended 7 meters (21 feet) below Mexico City’s Metropolitan Cathedral, I could feel my heart race. I had heard whisperings about the temples buried under this iconic cathedral – one of the largest and oldest in Latin America – but since their discovery in the 1970s, it had not been possible to see them.
We the Mexica [of Mexico] are not "Aztecs"
Now, I was part of a public tour that lets visitors explore the ancient secrets that lie just below this [Catholic] church’s depths.
Nearly 500 years after Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés toppled the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán [the "Place of Nopal Cactuses"], the remains of the ancient metropolis continue to lay hidden mere meters under modern-day Mexico City.
The Spanish [invaders from Spain] started building the Metropolitan [Catholic] Cathedral in 1573 above on top of the sacred Aztec (the “Mexica” as they called themselves) temples as a symbol of conquest. More

Sex robots or "sexbots" are anthropomorphic [human-like] robotic sex dolls that have human-like movements or behaviors and some degree of artificial intelligence [1][2].
As of 2025, although elaborately instrumented sex dolls have been created by a number of inventors, no fully animated sex robots yet exist.
Simple devices have been created which can speak, make facial expressions, or respond to touch [3][4] and even carry babies to term if they get pregnant.
I blame myself...and Hollywood
There is controversy as to whether developing them would be morally justifiable [5][6].
In 2015, robot ethicist Kathleen Richardson called for a ban on the creation of anthropomorphic sex robots with concerns about normalizing relationships with machines and reinforcing female dehumanization [7][8][9].
Questions about their ethics, effects, and possible legal regulations have been discussed since then.

The Red Pyramid makes no sense | Exploring three interior chambers | Megalithomania
(MegalithomaniaUK) Nov. 28, 2024: The Red Pyramid of Dahshur, Egypt, is said to be the third pyramid built by Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu, between 2575–2563 BC. (It is the third largest in Egypt). Its red color comes from the reddish limestone, although it was once covered in white tura limestone (like the nearby Bent Pyramid).
In this video Hugh Newman explores the three known inner chambers, questioning what it may have been used for -- an industrial chemical factory, producing ammonia for fertilizer to make the land fertile and productive for a large population? He is joined by Andrew Collins and Yousef Awyan and interviews Geoffrey Drumm of @thelandofchem, who explains his theory on how it could have been used to produce ammonia.
The remarkable corbel-vaulted ceilings and intricate stonework suggest this was built by master masons. The unusual third chamber is higher than the other two and originally had no clear access, with rough-hewn cyclopean blocks revealed beneath the floor, which John Anthony West suggested could have once been exposed to the elements due to the weathering on them. (This pyramid, like the others, was built on a far older mound).
The team also look at the mortuary temple and the remains of the pyramidion that was once on top of the structure.

What did the CIA do to us?
There's drug use and drug abuse. Native Americans were using plants and ordeals (such as the Vision Quest) to alter consciousness for millennia before invasion-migration Europeans decided to drop in for a long visit. Rather than follow custom and do things in a ceremonial fashion with the blessing of the community, rugged individualists decided to throw caution to the wind with predictable results. In the Amazon there was Ayahuasca, but there was no "drug abuse" until someone brought in distilled liquor, or "spiritous drinks" and rotgut, bottled brews for senseless consumption. Real plant helpers from the garden pharmacy heal addiction and other maladies. Drugs of abuse do not. There's medicine, and there are things to abuse called "medicines."
CIA: We rule this culture since Nazis arrived
Who, to alter consciousness, would dream of huffing (inhaling) industrial chemicals? Who for sweetness would swallow the toxic brain chemical aspartame? Why eat white sugar, robbed of all its minerals and nutrients, when brown (whole) is available? Welcome to America, where any agent will do, even Nazi-invented methamphetamine that hijacks the dopamine and limbic system and creates energetic zombies...what could go wrong. The hippies were much more selective and interested in natural highs and health, but mass culture was just looking for cheap thrills, easy slogans, and mass marketed fashions to look the part. Drugs, sex, and rock 'n roll replaced peace, love, and happiness. Now who, in this day and age, thinks the best experience is to be found in the bathroom medicine cabinet? Chase a dragon and it will turn and bite. Hegemony means we spread our habits to the world as the current imperial power. If we can't handle our drug use, how are other places to survive sipping the neural soup? Of course, there was that time the British got China addicted on poppy (opium).

Hospitals were incentivized ($) to label everything they saw (flu cases) as "Covid" to increase profits.
COVID-19 may [likely] have been created in a Chinese lab [Wuhan], a British professor told the United Nations Wednesday (2/28/24), with another expert claiming that evidence of the likelihood has reached “the level of a smoking gun.”
Dr. Richard H. Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University, was quoted saying in a new Wall Street Journal article that the virus that killed millions around the world may actually have been manmade in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The plan-demic, Big Pharma's money cow
He cited evidence found in a 2018 document from the lab that talked of making such a virus. “[The document] elevates the evidence provided by the genome sequence from the level of noteworthy to the level of a smoking gun,” Dr. Ebright said in the piece by former New York Times Editor Nicholas Wade.
The papers from the lab cited by Dr. Ebright contained drafts and notes regarding a grant proposal called Project DEFUSE, which sought to test engineering bat coronaviruses in a way that would make them more easily transmissible to humans [which is called "gain of function," as Dr. Fauci has to concede he knew about and funded.]
Pharmaceutical-industrial complex spreads fear
The proposal was ultimately rejected and denied funding by DARPA (the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), but Wade suggested that their work could have been carried out by researchers in Wuhan who had secured Chinese government funding. More

ABOUT: Hallo, Servus. Welcome to the Feli [from Ohio] channel. My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 29, and I'm a German living in the USA. I was born and raised in Munich, Germany, but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my Master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the green card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019.

How Rammstein defied the odds and conquered the world
(The Punk Rock MBA) Let's look at the history of Rammstein, from their early years to their massive success with "Heirate Mich" and "Rammstein," how singer Till Lindemann (d)evolved into Rammstein's frontman, "Du Hast," the Family Values tour with nu-metal KORN, Limp Bizkit, and Ice Cube, "Sehnsucht" and more.
How the Rammstein scandal exposes the dark side of rock
(DW History and Culture) June 23, 2023. Allegations of sexual misconduct against Rammstein singer Till Lindemann have rocked the music world.
I prefer my ceramics to anything sexual.
Lindemann is accused of "recruiting" young women (groupies) for sex at concerts -- allegedly through a system that involved coercion as well as the intoxication of young, female fans with alcohol and date rape drugs like GBH.
Lindemann has his lawyers declare that all the accusations are untrue without exception.
The accusations have sparked a re-examination of the music industry, so-called "groupie culture" and the culture of "sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll."'
The first woman to go public with allegations against Till Lindemann was the Irish fan Shelby Lynn. Since then, dozens of other women have claimed to have similar experiences at Rammstein concerts.
Patriarchs are obsessed with personal power.
In June 2023, Berlin's public prosecutor's office launched an investigation against Lindemann. But aside from any potential criminal charges that may result, many are asking: What exactly is systematic abuse of power when it comes to rock stars and their fans?
DW looks at the Rammstein case and how it's affected the rock band's business, as well as the history of groupies and of sexual misconduct allegations in the music industry.
Are sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll inextricably linked? Is it time to change the treatment of women by the music industry?
