Considering the amount of red tape you have to sludge through just to build a simple apartment building in any of those cities, I would rate the likelihood that Musk is full of shit at about 99.999%.
Here's a quick rule-of-thumb that I've learned from 45 years of disappointment:
Anyone who says they're going to send a man to Mars is full of shit. Any date they announce is bullshit. Any plan they announce will never happen. Any technology they plan to use will never materialize.
Now there, print that out and keep it handy for future reference. It will save you a lot of heartache in the future.
All complaints about U.S. websites must be sent in English, with no arrogant condescension, to complaints@usa.gov. Please allow 4 - never weeks for processing of your bullshit whiny complaint.
Let me just say that my claims that my patented AI helps it to roll right off into your hand are entirely true. And anyone who says otherwise is just jealous that their toilet paper isn't nearly as smart.
Maybe that's the whole idea of this initiative. If those people on top of the trains are freeloaders who aren't paying, this whole solar panels thing may just be an excuse to get rid of them for good.
Most people basically replace their phones every two to three years, so what does it matter if your phone is built to last longer? All that matters on modern phones are features, and on that front Apple tends to lag a bit.
I pretty much just assume that any computer attached to the internet is being tested by hackers all the time. Why should election computers be any different?
I knew when Verizon stopped pushing FIOS that fiber was dead. Google loves splashy launches, but they quickly grow tired of anything involving day-to-day maintenance and long-term commitments. Google has the attention span of a methed-up squirrel.
On the upside, cablecos are now the only option for high speed internet for most people in the U.S. And they have pretty much unbreakable monopolies. Isn't that WONDERFUL?
Its only job is to basically stay the hell out of the way and not draw attention to itself. And, like pretty much every other OS on the market, it does that. End of story.
The company calling itself Atari today has no real connection to the real Atari of old, except in name. For all intents and purposes, the real Atari went out of business in 1984. The name has changed hands many times since.
I just hope Dr. Who treats her as an actual Doctor, not just use her to virtue-signal for SJW cred. Dr. Who's increasing politicization is really getting annoying. It's starting to feel like that guy who brings out his one black friend at every party and points to him to let you know that he's a proper non-racist liberal.
When characters are naturally gay or black or whatever, that's great. When they're one-dimensional non-entities who just appear from stage-left in every episode just to remind everyone of their gayness and blackness, that's just virtue-signalling. And it's an insult to real gays, minorities, women etc. who are actual real human beings.
I hope she's a real character. I hope that every episode doesn't revolve around some stereotypical "women's issues" just to trumpet for the thousandth time that this Dr. Who is A WOMAN.
This new SJW movement isn't uniting the working class, it's DIVIDING it. The last election should have indicated that clearly. The SJW's expressly DO NOT want the white working class on-board in their revolution. You're talking about the old leftist movement, the one that sought to unite workers. The new SJW leftist movement seeks to divide everyone along lines of race, gender, ethnicity, etc. and assign them relative value based on their perceived "victimhood." It's not "Workers Unite!" this time. It's more like "Minority and Women Workers Unite, Everyone Else Go To Hell!"
No, most people would prefer to send their kids to schools that are neither left-wing indoctrination camps, nor right-wing indoctrination camps. I have no more desire to send my kids to a school where they're taught Jebus made the dinosaurs than I do to see them send to a school where they're taught that white males and capitalists are responsible for all evil in the world.
And I wish Evergreen were just a completely fringe case. But sadly, even many mainstream universities in red states are now indoctrinating students and stifling any dissent. Even reddest of red states, Tennessee, had to pass a law (against the opposition of its own public university administrations) just to guarantee students basic free speech rights.
This sudden decline in opinion isn't the result of some new strain of anti-intellectualism, as some Democrats will no doubt suggest, but rather the perception that modern universities have become hotbeds of SJW, "Antifa," and anti-capitalist ideology. That's why the disapproval numbers are particularly high among those with higher incomes (who HATE anti-capitalists).
Even I'm more distrustful of modern universities than I used to be just a few years ago. And I used to be a professor.

Courts have ruled that verbal green lights are the best green lights of them all. They're shiny and fun!

And I check under my hood with a flashlight, which I don't call a "torch" because I don't have to set it on fire.

Same, we push trollies around the shops where I'm from.
Next you'll be telling me that you call a car trunk a "boot" even though you don't kick anyone with it.

To hold Comcast's bullshit.

How is that a failure?

I do suppose they got permission from all the copyright holders, including the notoriously litigious ones?

Best weather reporting of the year.
It would probably be better than 90% of Mississippi court-appointed lawyers.
I'd settle for robot soap operas.
If you think the Russians are barbarians, you really need mental help.
I've never heard so many cries of "Well, I never!" There were bodies lying prostrate on fainting couches all about the city! The horror!
