One motive is that it's cheaper to delete the emission system vs having to replace/repair the unit. Diesels have much more sophisticated emission devices vs gasoline engines, so it's more costly.

Where are you getting that women getting raped or abused is unique to only the porn industry? Is there any hard data, or is this just some bs that people assume happens in porn.
Re:MindGeek: The owner of Pornhub and RedTube

This is such a conservative take. Instead of accepting porn as a legit job, you vilify them, so of course the entire industry is gonna be secretive.

To make it, construction and demolition waste including bricks, gravel, sand and plasterboard is crushed and mixed with water and a binder. The bricks are then pressed in customized molds. Tinted with recycled pigments, they can be made in any color
Is the binder cement? If so, then I believe those are called cinder blocks.
