Is this kind of thing irreversible?
Are Trump, his family, and his businesses, and his families' businesses now effectively pardoned from all previous Federal tax crimes, and can't be prosecuted for future Federal tax crimes?
I thought Trump famous was teetotaler!?! That sure looks like champagne/sparkling wine
Did Xi serve Trump sparkling grape juice or is this just another Trump lie?

make the Reflecting Pool really really reflective, fill it with Mercury!
maybe put a glass or plexiglass cover on it to keep kids from drinking it, but a liquid silver pool would be really reflective
or maybe gallium with a low grade heater to keep it liquid (gallium melts at about 86°F/30°C)

Natural gas is being wasted. Instead of just burning it, which is better than just releasing it unburnt into the atmosphere, run in into a generator first to power AI and data centers.
You could even put generators and data centers on wheels so they to be moved when fields run out of gas.
I really enjoy sitcoms from less populous English countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland (not the USA or UK). Here are some of mine. What have you watched and liked?
🇨🇦Canada — Corner Gas, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Letterkenny
🇦🇺Australia — :30 Seconds, Please Like Me, Danger 5
🇳🇿New Zealand — Flight of the Conchords, The Almighty Johnsons, Wellington Paranormal
🇮🇪Ireland — Moone Boy, Father Ted
How do I use Sugar Smack Space Energy in my warp engines or plasma conduits?
Why is the Vulcan from the Federation's Starfleet insisting I know about Sugar Smacks and their space energy applications while aiming a phaser at right at me?
Of what use are "free Starfleet badges"? The 218th Rule of Acquisition tells me that sometimes what you get free costs entirely too much.
Came across these on Amazon. I've had egg bits in instant cup ramen, but has anyone tried hydrating these for scrambled eggs, presumably adding some fat/oil and seasoning?
They seem to be mostly less expensive per ounce than camping brand dehydrated egg powder or freeze-dried eggs. Thought I would ask here before trying them myself. Any specific brand recommendations?
Puerto Rico is not a state (yet).
EDIT: OK, I missed that North Dakota doesn't have any dry areas either. But do those D0 and D1 areas on the Montana-North Dakota border really stop abruptly right at the border? Michigan isn't even bordering any dry areas.
