Nah. I'll take quick and painless. Which also gets into that protein thing. Even today, in a round about way, we all end up eventually as someone else's food. So may as well take a few middlemen out of the equation and just puree people into McChicken filler.

If you will note ggatatgtct agagatacca you can see guy is genetically unable to feel shame.
Elon doing something stupid? Must be a day that ends with Y.
So if I could slap an ankle bracelet on you and upload your location with a five second delay
You’re missing an entire point here. If the law indicates what you’ve said, then I don’t get a say in if I’m okay with it or not. And if I honestly didn’t like that, and this is the entire point, I would seek to have the law changed.
If Elon honestly hates the FAA’s reporting requirement, instead of picking on someone who is just using the information, he should seek actual legislation to have it changed.
That’s the entire point. Elon is just picking on a person with the tool Elon actually has control over. Elon isn’t actually seeking meaningful legislative change.
It tests vacuum tubes that would usually come from televisions. If a tube was bad you could hypothetically replace the tube and get your TV working again. The various holes are for the various tubes that were sold.
Vacuum tubes would eventually be replaced with transistor designs as transistors were more reliable and required way less power to operate. Also they were vastly smaller than tubes. Today most TVs are, in essence, a small computer packed into a single chip called a System on a Chip (SoC), so they are way less user repairable. But they're also vastly cheaper than the 1930s versions. In 1939 RCA's TV that they sold went for ~$600 or about $13,280 in today's money.
So there was a ton of incentive to make TVs as user repairable as possible. It's also why we used to have a lot of TV repair shops that we pretty much have zero of today. Putting that much investment into something, you'd want to make it run for as long as possible.
Ah yeah everything in that document is just Corridor ID spending. I explain that here But basically it's a feasibility study, they're only getting $500,000 to do an in-depth study.
Looking at the details it indicates that it would stop at Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs, "and other points". This money was to move the project into "Step 2" and is slated to use existing alignment (share freight train rails) and is going to be propped up by a different Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) grant. Apparently, this is all part of the Front Range Passenger Rail project that's been an on-going thing there since 2002, when the 1998 "Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century" (that's literally the name of the law) granted authority for the US DOT to designate eleven NEW federal rail corridors and Colorado decided "what the heck, let's try!" and won.
So surprise! You guys won one of the eleven spots! It may take awhile to claim your prize it seems. But good news, some money is coming to your Department of Transportation to get them over the next hurdle that they've been working to get over since …checks notes… 2014. Good grief, does everything Government wise go this slow there in Colorado?! I'm from Tennessee, we tend to just embezzle everything, so everything goes really fast here.
Total Award: 69 (noice) that I counted multiply by $500,000 = $34,500,000
Remember that the Corridor ID program is money the indicated people can use to do a required study for ultimately asking to be in the next grant of the Fed-State National. Just because these people are handed the money for the study DOES NOT MEAN that a rail project will be funded by the Fed-State National program.
Total awarded amount by the FRA as directed by the President: $8,220,497,586
Also note this excluded explicitly funding already earmarked for Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) and Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) as required by law. Things inside the RCE and CRISI are mandatory spending line items.
Okay for those who aren't aware of how this program works, here is a breakdown of what's being handed out and a very brief summary of the programs.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021 creates two very broad categories for train development.
The Fed-State National is getting the most money because obviously it's going to be building new things and repairing old things. The Corridor ID won't be building anything, per se, but will be helping the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and "others" to identify locations that could join the current network of passenger rail. The Corridor ID is only handing out $500,000 per selection so I won't be giving amounts there.
Total award: $8,185,997,586
Do note that for pretty much all of these projects, the awarded amount is NOT the total cost of the project. After each awarded amount, I have put / and then the current estimate for completion of the project. As example, the California high speed rail is currently estimated to cost $33 Billion. The year of TBD in parenthesis is the latest year the project is expected to be completed. The Nevada high speed rail project has a + on it's cost because that $10.4 Billion is an initial estimate that was put into the program before the close date, the cost has increased since then.
The Corridor ID program can be divided into four sub-programs.
Remember that each of these is awarded $500,000 to do detail study in how to implement the program they've been slotted into:

This isn't the slam dunk folks think it is as Kyle Rittenhouse isn't broke per se but isn't getting to dictate a lot of his wealth. And it's complicated because Kyle is a pawn so trying to state things in terms of "how does this affect Kyle Rittenhouse" is missing a larger point about how Kyle is to the GOP actually useful.
First off, Kyle's book bombed. It's not good. Even for those from the Conservative realm, it's not a good book. This is likely in that a lot of what was promised by the book was either culled or just never written to begin with given that Kyle is facing civil litigation now and a book giving "full account" would not help his position. But also the author, yeah it's complicated but most people do not actually write their own biographies, Michael Quinn Sullivan isn't a good writer. He's one of the Republican's think tank folks from Empower Texans which… that's its own ball of yarn to untangle so I'll just end it there. I'm sure guy is a great GOP strategist, he just really sucks at writing and you can really feel the "suck" level of his writing in his sci-fi book Finding the Void. But you know everyone has different taste so Sullivan is a more "specific" taste, and Kyle didn't pick Sullivan, that's who was suggested to him for his book. And this gets to the point.
Kyle is a pawn. The GOP is using him for an agenda and Kyle is just looking for a paycheck. And something people should quickly note, don't rely on the GOP to hand you a paycheck. This shouldn't be new knowledge, but just in case anyone is out there: You get paid by political organizations based on utility and that's true for both of them. But there is a caveat to this seeming "both sides" and boy oh boy is it the GOP is some of the most fickle of political groups. With the GOP it can be here today, gone tomorrow like a beach house in a hurricane. Democrats do indeed back away from "troublesome" folks within their own rank, but man GOP people will drop you like you were Cobalt-60.
And this gets into Kyle's "foundation". Right out the door, it's not exactly doing as well as folks might have hoped. it's operating at -$60k with 72% of its expense being Charitable Disbursements, which is fancy talk for "someone got paid". And that's likely indicative that Kyle's foundation is being used as a funnel for money for someone else. Which absolutely indicates that Kyle isn't getting a say in the foundation but boy oh boy is he the face for it. Usually a low revenue, high disbursement means mismanagement and I'm doubting that the far-right folks that helped him set it up put a moron in charge of it. It's likely that the person they put in charge of it is getting a pay check for (insert wild speculation here). But point being someone is being rewarded that's not Kyle Rittenhouse.
"Now that's what I call being a pawn!". There's clearly a lot of people who want to give Kyle Rittenhouse, for whatever reason, money. The thing is, that money is passing though hands that are distinctly not Kyle Rittenhouse's hands and that's Kyle's actual finical issues. Not that he doesn't have money or he's not popular enough to rake in money, it's that he hasn't been promoted on the chessboard that is the GOP politics to a chess piece that gets to enjoy some of his spoils. He is very much "useful tool" but a lot of the public information about him and his finances show, he is not getting any benefits, or at least very few of them. Someone else (or perhaps the plural version of that) is raking in the cash due Kyle.
Given the GOP, I don't think any of this comes off as shocking news to anyone that Kyle's money is being slowly siphoned from him. Or that true endeavors of his "like his book" are only given token measures of care. That's a lot of the GOP this day and age. The second someone becomes a nonuseful tool it's "Phil Valentine who?" Kyle has money, he's just not allowed to use it. Other people get to use Kyle's money. That should be the key take away here.
I was promised that the COVID vaccine would make all my blood congeal. I've thus far have made it to promises of "God will punish us" without one hint of life threatening coagulation.
I mean most priests consider this a fringe benefit.
