California hasn't had a budget deficit for 5 years, has paid off most debt, has in fact been setting aside money in reserve (despite having our tax dollars siphoned off to the southeast by the feds), and will build HSR. Unfortunately, since nobody's going to ride it when it opens in the 2040s and it will have huge ongoing maintenance costs.
It remains to be seen whether Musk can send people to Mars without his investors wringing his neck for the unprofitability of it. He can get away with planning because that's cheap and may have commercial side benefits. I suspect in the end he'll have to get a government contract to fund a Mars mission.
Having an affair is not illegal. Whether it is "wrong" or not is none of your business unless you are one of the people in the relationship.
It's still a public health issue. STDs exist, basic human compassion dictates caring about friends and even strangers having their health unknowingly endangered.
Hi Mr. President. I think you'll find you're the only person in the civilized world who doesn't understand that it's sexual assault when you engage in prolonged violence for sexual gratification against a victim who is verbally and physically objecting and trying to escape, and you eventually have to be pulled off by someone who overhears the assault and comes to rescue your victim.
I recently had my old smartphone turned off for months after I got a new one, and was surprised to find the battery still had power when I finally turned it on. Could be that's only because it's a low-end android, but clearly at least some smartphones do last a long time turned off.
"Plaintiff was partly laying on one of the beds when Duggan entered the cabin and immediately picked up Plaintiff’s legs so that her body was in an ‘L’ shaped position while lying on her back. Her buttocks and genitalia were physically proximate to Duggan’s pelvis. Duggan then began pumping and pounding Plaintiff’s legs up and down and dancing with her legs and feet. Duggan continued to do this even after Plaintiff told CEO Duggan repeatedly, ‘Stop. It’s time to stop. I’m uncomfortable.’ Duggan ignored Plaintiff and continued to pump and pound her legs and removed her shoes. Plaintiff’s efforts to physically free herself were unsuccessful. Duggan bent Plaintiff’s legs closer to her head, drawing his pelvis closer to her buttocks and genitalia and continued to pound Plaintiff’s legs (and as a result, her buttocks) up and down. Duggan also lifted Plaintiff off the bed by her ankles and legs."
^ Obviously this is a perfectly innocent way of greeting someone. Who hasn't done it? Political correctness gone mad.
It's basically a troll headline/summary: lead with the stuff about sexually suggestive talk in the workplace, note the existence of a sexual assault lawsuit, and rely on "MRA" types with short attention spans leaping to the conclusion that the CEO has been sued for sexually assaulting someone with words. Then quietly bury the graphic details of a sexual assault at the bottom of the article, which nobody gets to because they're too busy posting their outrage at feminazis.
Then sit back and enjoy the ad revenue from the manufactured controversy.
Hopefully, for Aiden, he got enough money to make it worth it.
And hopefully, for the rest of the world, he gets sued into oblivion or goes to jail for it. If you agree to not disclose the fact that you sold something, that should be an agreement to continue to take legal responsibility for the actions of those you secretly sold to.
Blocking an attempt to commit widespread fraud is not evil. You're lucky to not go to jail for running AdNauseam, since it is literally draining people's bank accounts on false pretenses. (And actually sending that money to google... but they block it anyway because they don't want to be dishonest.)
In every day life, you also lose all of your original particles and are reassembled in a similar pattern from new particles, and go on thinking you're the same person. Teleportation only speeds the process.
If you can afford a 2000+ sqft home, you are rich.
Only in the big tech cities. There are plenty of places in the USA where you can get a 2000+ sqft home for under $100K.
*Most* americans live paycheck to paycheck and are vastly in debt
In America, vast debts are a luxury of the rich. As a poor person, I've never been in debt at all -- nor been offered the opportunity. I've never lived paycheck to paycheck either, because I can't risk being homeless like the wealthy can risk having their limo and mansion repossessed.
No, actually it's the abundance of oil that makes the middle east a mess. Just as the abundance of natural resources have fueled so many wars in Africa. It's called the paradox of plenty.
All you'll need is a few million large hadron colliders in your living room to keep producing the unstable particles for your electronics. Unfortunately your house is going to explode before anything useful gets done.
If a fission reactor crashes on Mars, presumably the planet itself will break into a group of extremely radioactive fireballs which will then collide with Earth and kill us all. Is that what the 70 years of nuclear paranoia sci-fi has you thinking?
Their so-called "coding" games for teen girls are incredibly demeaning and probably chase away a lot more girls than they attract. It would be much more appropriate for pre-schoolers.
Corporate copyrights last 95 years. If they become aware of you and see a chance for money, lawyers will harass/threaten/sue you right up to the 95th year.
Do you have an argument? He's self-taught by any definition I can think of. Doesn't even have a degree, unless the article is lying. Guessing you didn't even read the article.
Seems far-fetched to launch a moon mission with a company whose extraordinarily small rocket has almost (but not quite) managed to get shoebox-sized satellites into low earth orbit. Doesn't a lunar landing require a lot more energy?

Baseball is the exception -- you can still get a $15 seat. Pretty good deal if you don't mind going a few hours without eating.

The person who arrived to save her by pulling the CEO off her was obviously a witness.

It would be so much easier to just put a 15 year watch battery in it for consistent power.
Cases of judges abusing their power to beat up or shoot a defendant in the court room are... nonexistent I believe.

95.7% of people in plane crashes survive, according to google.

You could try actually reading the article, which will tell you all about how he got into rocketry and his various jobs.
He already used all the tunneling equipment to build his secret underground super-villain lair. This is just re-purposing it for profit.
