I know there is some clause or stipulation that allows for the seizure of assets obtained by illegal immigrants.

Musk is an illegal immigrant who pursued business ventures in violation of his school visa and lied about it.

Batteries are not cheap, especially on industrial scale. And most batteries are not ecologically friendly. It makes far more sense to put all the power solar panels produce during the day to immediate use for maximum efficiency, there is no form of battery that exists that doesn't have some kind of efficiency loss.z

Putting a battery on this is like building a water tower in your front lawn that only feeds your sprinkler, and you're only filling it from a hose. You don't really get any benefit out of it and it's just easier to run the hose right to the sprinkler anyways.

It's just a lot of salt. Seawater (on average) is 3.5% salt. So for 1kg of water (aka 1 liter) you get 35 grams of salt. For 5 thousand liters, thats 175kg of salt. While we do use salt for industrial purposes, that salt is usually treated and chemically processed for sanitary reasons. Given the average person uses 310 liters of water a day (drinking, cooking, cleaning, ect...) 5,000 liters gets you slightly more water than 16 people are going to consume in a day. And 175kg of salt is way more than 16 people are going to use in a day. Now figure this system runs all year round, and we have 63,000kg of salt. Just so 16 people could drink desalinated sea water all year.

There are a number of theories put forth in recent years how best to desalinate sea water for drinking water and disposing of that salt, most of them involve dumping it in the desert, burying it in old mines, or possibly deep sea operations where salt concentrations are already too high for most life to exist, so adding salt to those regions won't have a ecological impact and it's possible for currents to spread that excess salt over a wider area.

Every one of these options has downsides, but we do need water to live and oceans are a vast source of water we aren't really tapping so you can see the desire to utilize them when majority of the global population lives within a hundred km or so of a coast line.

We never understood why one of the local convenience stores advertised this little arm bands that had a pouch built in roughly the size of a wallet. Then we learned the local uni had a big naked run enthusiast community and they regularly invited us you guys from the military base every year they did it.

Mostly people went barefoot but some had on slip ons. Vast majority of people had those arm bands though with an mp3 player or their phone shoved into the pouch, some girls wore sports bras, and some others had what I can only describe as a phanny pack across their middle. My group all wore the arm bands and camelbaks. Good times, would probably kill me to try that again.

The genie did understand, this giant cock was his best friend and prized possession, he's entrusted it to you now.

I'm the caveman who thought this was craft beer or something. Y'all drinking coffee cold? Scared caveman noises.

Brains don't work great at 3am. Less so when a beloved feline is potentially in danger.

You ever had a cat? When unobserved quantum state takes over and they are everywhere and nowhere at once.

Screen doors and old storm doors from the 80s are also notoriously bad at keeping a fat orange cat inside when the brain cell is too busy to understand the barriers to keep the outside out also are meant to keep the inside in.

Definitely anxiety but they certain can make the other work. Like peanut butter and chocolate for messing up your life.

Someone told me they only exist to make music for commercials and trailers and honestly that makes a lot of sense where they have some intense moments but the rest of the song is mediocre.

Bait was never this believable before.
