I would guess that he'd rather be able to say "they liked it, so they bought it from me" than "I didn't want it back".

It did come apart into three pieces, which could be seen but the seams were made fairly tolerable. From that I'd gather it was hollow with some sort of framework inside and a skin, not a solid chunk of bronze. Moving it would be a project, but not a "had to take out a wall" kind of project like moving a newspaper printing operation.
Regardless of whatever budget Congress sets, the majority party has already been clear that they have no intent to enforce it. If the president uses the NASA money for something else, or even just puts it into his own personal pocket, we can be confident that he won't be impeached, and if impeached, he won't be convicted.
The only thing that matters is the total budget. The president is free to spend that total however he wishes. This isn't the law as written, but it's the law defacto. If voters have a problem with that (do they?) they can choose a different party to be the majority.
That would explain why the Magyar Birds are racking up around 10% of enemy soldiers killed. This does need to be handled with some caution so that the metric doesn't become the purpose, and new operators still get something because it's not their fault they don't have a history or rank or Elo or whatever they're using. Also you don't want to incentivize tactics that might get the operators located and shelled, which might not be detected and exploited immediately but like a pitcher tipping his pitches, someone is eventually going to notice.
For all you know, they could be using an SD card that can only sustain 10 MB/s. You could argue that it shouldn't be enabled by default, or that it should only be enabled by default if the storage device is slow, but that's not the same as arguing to remove it entirely.
Serves the sheep right for trying to eat my dental floss bushes.
Let the patrons pick the music, and pay for the privilege. Then you don't have to worry about covering costs, unless you're stuffing bills in the machine yourself when the place is empty.
This might actually be an improvement in some ways, as it could eternally make up new tracks and never have to loop. It would be better than the same four songs on infinite repeat, even when they're four good songs.
I knew someone with a life-size bronze sculpture of a horse rearing up. It was given to him as a wedding gift and he absolutely hated it. But it was basically a white elephant he couldn't get rid of or conceal, so he posted it in the lobby of his company HQ, where it actually got a lot of positive comments. Everyone was happy, including the people that gave it to him, but just to make sure he never had to take it home, he later sold it to the company for $1. As far as I know, it's still on display.
There is no dark side of the moon, really. Or the darker side is the one we can see, the one with the huge lava flows. But those socks probably disappeared while still wet, right? This would explain the water ice at the bottom of the permanently shadowed craters. So the place to look is going to be in craters near the poles.
Then the kid uses the landline to reach dial-up BBSes and now you have TWO problems.
If you didn't have an interest before in eating tinamou, why would you develop one just because some company makes them big?
I mean, there's literally photographs. Here's another shot of the NACS charger. Here's one of a Tesla plugged in, to a NACS connector. Here's another.
I mean, you're asking me to not believe my own eyes.

We have a standard J-1772, and there was none of this plug type supplied at the ~4 charge stations (2 plugs each). Most if the plug-types were the CCS-Type 1. This station info should be updated.Sep 9, 2023

This place is open and working! I called first to make sure the gate was open. Andy answered and was so sweet. He greeted us at the gate and took us to the charger.Nov 24, 2022

We were in a pretty tricky situation in this area on the way to Vegas. Charging facilities are fairly limited in this area but this location helped close the gap to get to the closest super charger in needles. It seems that the charger can be accessed at any time of the day. The location is scenic with art installations by the host museum. Watch out for wild life. Leave a donation this service is seriously needed (and appreciated) in this area.Mar 1, 2022

What a neat Historic Route 66 spot where my Spirit of Tesla - 2017 Tesla Model X used the service entrance to get to the windmill for a Level 2 Tesla destination charger (5 kW atv240 volts)...along with 120- volt Level 1 outlet. I will be back to visit this exquisite "Study The Past" historical site.Dec 13, 2021

Great historical museum on Route 66! Just 120v right now but 240v planned soon.
And the worst thing is not you dying, but the fact that you'll probably be killing someone else who was being a responsible driver, and possibly their entire family, in the process.
