And even if not, I'd rather be miserable on a cool bike.

When I was like three I watched the property maintenance dude plowing snow on our building's front yard with a pickup truck and I thought that not only was it the coolest job in the world, but oh, how badly I wanted a truck like that too.
Fastforward 30 years and there I'm staring at one in the used cars parking lot at the local dealership realising it's what I've always wanted and I can actually afford it too. Now I get to stare at it every single day because it's mine. I even ended up starting my own business later so now it's not only fun to drive and beatiful to look at but also useful.
Good for her.
He's from South Africa. He can't run for president.
It wasn't enabled in Crimea in the first place. The author misspoke/lied about in the book and has later admitted it.
U.S. sanctions to Russia forbid the use of Starlink. This includes crimea and the occupied territories. That's why it wasn't enabled.
To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.
And before someone points out the 'cause major war' things, those are Walters words, not Elon's. Musk said "It would make SpaceX explicitly complicit in a marjor act of war and conflict escalation" He later also added that had he been contacted by the US officials and asked to enable it he would, but they didn't.
I doubt it's a real thing that has a name. I tried asking chatGPT about it and it said it's called melodic masking / auditory masking but I didn't really find any information that matches my experience.
It's not that I don't hear the vocals, I just struggle to register it as language. It just sounds more like yet another instrument.
I've only had two but the first one, 2001 Audi A6 was significantly more expensive to maintain than my current Nissan pickup.
It almost sounds like you’re trying to argue that he’s actually a man of his word. That guy wants a lot of things. Most of it he cannot get.
