Nail houses are throw away structures ment to get maximum money from the system when they _take_ the land. Perverse economic incentives result in huge amounts of waste. Every penny spent building nail houses is a misallocated resource.
That's the history of western American water rights law, wrapped up in one question.
In practice, it's cheaper to blow up a dam than build it. So the law is: If someone downstream is using the water, you can't divert it, because when it was allowed it led to literal range wars. e.g. LA's right to the Colorado river legally prevents Coloradans from collecting rainwater.
I saw a bug report, a major publicly traded utility overflowed the grand total on their power trading VAR report (only had digits for 99 _billion_ $). I'm not _filthy_ rich because I'm afraid of the SEC. If only I was a Clinton...
You want the (twits/twats/twitter users) infesting your favorite site?
It serves a purpose, just like AOL of old did. It's just too bad twats don't use @twitter emails. So they could be automatically filtered, like AOLers were.
Realistically, the money currently allocated to Caltrain was to cover the first 10% of NIMBY lawsuits and endless environmental impact studies.
The problem was that treating Caltrain like a separate problem/connecting line wouldn't have paid enough bribes to SF politicians to deliver their support. So it was called part of HSR and money was funnelled to the usual scumbags (gotta wonder how much Pelosi pocketed personally). One good thing, that's now done, they will just squander the current money then complain.
Your not going HSR fast in the Bay area. The urban part is just the Caltrain route, just upgrade that. Besides unless you repurpose the golden gate. SF is a dead end. Even if you do the golden gate, that puts you in Marin, good luck with those nuts. Also note: HSR already paid SF huge bucks to build a terminal. Straight up bribe for political support. Bet the money is gone.
There is already Amtrak commuter from Oakland to Sac, connecting to BART and Sac light rail (kind of expensive vs just driving to the end of BART). Sac has a clear shot north and is already the rail crossroads.
The nieces and nephews are hired. Who cares if it's an endless money pit.
IMHO Mothball the right of way and what's built. Finish those things too far along to abandon. Running it will be cost prohibitive.
Spend the rest of the money buying those parts of the whole system right of way that are currently 'easy', then lease them out. Don't worry that you are buying disconnected chunks.
Does it ban QoS? Does it leave things so nebulous and undefined, nobody will know the actual rules until 200 million are spent on beltway law firms? Like the last version?

You can take Amtrak from Oakland to Reno. I don't think there is a Truckee stop.
You don't want to.
Pelosi didn't make 200 million dollars while never earning more than $200k/year honestly.

The bottom 50% hold some negative % of the nation's wealth. Being net debtors and instant gratification, shiny loving morons. Sucks to be them, don't.
Been there done that. Not a federal prisoner.

'Old people' are as bored with 3d shooters/sneakers as we were with sprite games in the C-64 era.
We were bored with Fortnite when it was Team Fortress free for all. It's all been done, decades ago. It's just sort of new to kids.
I disagree. Correct terminology for twitter users is twats not twits.
Twitter users are all mental middle schoolers. They are creatures of the noise. They like it.
If they weren't, they would have left, like you did.
Newbe.
They were generally idiots, like twats (twitter users) today.
Keeping the idiots segregated is the best thing about AOL/twitter/facebook.

Twitter and facebook are tarbabies. Designed to entangle the 'look at me, look at me' crowd.
They do it well. Thank dog for them. Can you imagine how bad the S/N ratio would be on the wider net without them?

Peasant.
Merced?
This is a question for philosophers.
They can call the authoritarian project to clear out resistance 'The Great Leap Forward'.
You've identified yourself as among the group of people who should never have power.
Trebuchets/parachutes for shorter range ballistic commuting.
I bet you could really fling someone with a carbon fiber and kevlar Trebuchet. Wingsuit for fine targeting.
Legalize 'bumfights'.
Get a ref and it's just tweaker MMA. Safe as any fighting sport. Consensual adults etc.

You had no way of knowing he wasn't sitting there, right under the bag.
If it fits into the overhead, it's _not_ oversized.
I call bullshit, you're just pretending, about something you imagined once.
Lost me a 'Imagine giving ... birth'.
I'm a proud winner of the XY chromosome lottery! Lets not pretend.
Just done wave 'old one eye' around the cube farm, no matter how proud you are.
Good definitions are important.

They just want to tax earnings of overseas money held by Americans.
As far as the IRS is concerned, his savings are his. Unless they're in the form of piles of unreported cash.
