That's common as a backdrop for offices and stuff, they sell books by the pound for that.

It's very easy to just tell them to get a hotel and they'll be reimbursed or just bulk order all the rooms in a couple hotels. The national guard troops along the border in their pretend mission do that, they all just stay at a hotel.

It's helpful to both as long as the stock stays high.

Tesla stock price is like 95% expectations of massive future growth created by the super amazing genius of Elon. If Tesla becomes just a basic car company it will be destroyed.

The Irish resistance is the closest analogue to what that kind of armed resistance would look like.

They're different enough by size and their habitat that we don't encounter them as primates so logically we don't have any reason to have an aversion instinct. Regular insects can be poisonous or parasites but these don't really look like insects.

Most water is from underground aquifers but some cities like Austin use surface water from rivers or lakes. Underground water is naturally filtered, although there are some things that live there like the blind salamander, but surface water has stuff like amoeba. Normal tap water is chlorinated and pressurized but any time there is a power outage the water might have amoebas so they do a boil water notice.

They don't care that what they're doing is illegal because they are going to get away with it.

Yeah, the conde owner bit isn't news to anyone, just cause this one guy never looked. Are is fine and it will be as long as the current people are there. Until it gets looted and the staff laid off it is fine. Eric Berger navigates a bit of a tightrope because he has high level access to Musk but can't be too direct about asking anything other than rockets, even though the political part is affecting the space part a lot right now. I do expect that just like Polygon it will eventually be gutted but nothing lasts forever.

A lot of them for the small articles and stubs are written very technically and don't provide an explanation for complex subjects if you aren't already familiar with it. Then you have to read 4 subjects down just to figure out the jargon for what they're saying
