Hes spent this cash because he wants to avoid the Democrats coming after him and his businesses. Hes been lumping everything under the SpaceX banner because NASA has been forced into depending on SpaceX so they absolutely have to be bailed out, and its a virtual certainty that they will need it. Republican controlled he can get the lot bailed out, Democrat there is a small sliver that they force the split of SpaceX from the crap and just save that.

A lot of people wouldn't work if they could still fund a good life style, big chunk of those would like to do homely things instead like cooking and gardening. Its aspirational fantasy content, as long as they ignore or stay ignorant of the bad aspects of being a trad-wife that apply to many of them.

Could most people do this stuff while working? Assuming they have the space, equipment, skills, and aren't completely destroyed by work. Obviously there are those that would like to do this who have those but when it actually comes to putting in a sustained effort they dont because of laziness, or lack of skill, etc.

What look like UV protection glasses np less as well, for all the UV light solding produces

Orvis make some really nice clothes, they are not just a fishing brand

Its far easier and more likely that Putin has compromat on Elon and is just telling him what to do. Its the most likely reason Trump and Elon are in lock step over the Ukrainian Starlink problems. Putin is really pressured over the recent increased range of Ukrainian attacks and wants it to stop so will risk his prime assets.

Even trump isn't dumb enough to think the pitiful amount of fuel he buying from Putin will impact fuel prices in the US, but it does give Putin some signifcant short term funds for laundering Iranian oil.

His weird torso shape is almost certainly a combo of him taking a mix of test and high coupled with semi regular liposuction.

Liposuction removes the fat cells whereas losing weight normally just empties them. By removing them you discourage the body from growing them there again as it takes signifcant effort for the body to regrow them. This leads to weird fat distribution.

His total lack of application for diet and weight training means his roid intake doesn't go where its meant to. Roids just don't work without signifcant effort, sure those massive meatheads use roids but they also work fucking hard to get massive

People like easy answers for difficult problems, they like over confident weenies like Trump or Farage or Boris who promise to do a quick and cheap fix to something that would take decades to unpick. We have systematic issues because of more boring but corrupt politicians like Blair or Cameron

They are dystopic for everybody but the cunty billionaire at the top, who has an amazing time as emperor, its that role they chase after. They completely lack any empathy for anybody else, they really do not give a fuck how many people get crushed in the process of them being all powerful. Sad thing is, they wouldn't even enjoy it if the achieved it, they can't even enjoy what they have now, all unhappy characters straight out of a Ronald Dahl novel.

Better no fish than bream

It should still be means tested but switched to means testing household income rather than individual income.

It has always massively pissed me off that you could have a couple each earning just under the threshold qualifying for the full amount and a single earner just over the end of the taper getting nothing, yet the net income for the couple is considerably higher not least because of two vs one tax free allowance and two lots of 20%.

You will be allowed a little light racism, just dont go too far.

A small camera bag, or at least a camera cube you can fit into an existing bag that you like, the idea is its as portable as possible so you take it with you as there is no substitute for shooting as much as you can. There is no such thing as the perfect camera bag, they are all a compromise one way or another and I would be surprised if you end up with just one if you end up with a lot of gear, I have five ranging from a handful of liters to 70 liters and I use them all regularly.

Filters, either dont bother with a wide range of them, or if you are going to commit then go one brand of fully magnetic and use step up rings so you can use the same filters on all your lenses. Magnetic is so much easier to use than screw on if you are swapping them all the time. Its also considerably cheaper if you can use the same filters on all your lenses. It is however a big investment, I have a lot of lenses so thats a lot of step up rings and caps I had to buy, but then I have about 18 filters so its a fraction of what I spent on those as I can use that on any lens I own, even the lenses for my film camera.

As you can probably tell I like using filters, mostly as I prefer to get it right in camera, but you can fix/change most things in post if you shoot raw or use exposure bracketing. Main exception is a good polarizer, thats best as a filter, as is a ND for (very) long exposures.

Dont forget to get some editing software, open source like dark table or raw therapee are very good, but they simply do not have the tutorial saturation of lightroom, tutorials are very useful when starting out. Personally I prefer DXO Photolab, its in the middle for tutorials but its noise reduction when shooting high ISO is insane. The latest depth masking is also pretty bonkers when you want to adjust an image level by level. Make sure to use the free trials to find the one you like. Shoot in JPG if you prefer, its a lot quicker, but you missing a lot of options by not editing in raw.

Only essential things, are plenty of batteries and memory cards, you want more than you need to get through a days shooting.
