Could be the Kav situation made things too radioactive for her to handle. She wants a post-Trump political career.

This is some super ****ty reporting that is incredibly unhelpful in telling us what exactly Musk is paying for. Based on the past 6 months of Muskiness, I will remain very skeptical. Keeed however will continue to slobber the knobs of people like Musk and Greenwald and stubbornly refuse to update his opinion with new information.

I dunno, the reporting seems pretty decent from a 5 Ws perspective:

WHAT: "water purification systems"
WHO: Elon Musk and the district
WHEN: by January 2019
WHERE: Flint
WHY: " to allow students to drink from and fill up water bottles from school water fountains."
HOW: UV water purification method

I agree it doesn't provide a lot of ammo for Musk water filter trutherism (UV CAN'T MELT LEAD WAKE UP SHEEPLE), but that's not necessarily the reporter's fault if, say, the correct water filters were selected.

Nice downtown area with bars and restaurants and stuff. For not being in an exciting metro area, you could do way, way worse.

I have a friend who went to school at UCD for several years, always enjoyed visiting him and hanging out there.

Not much to add to this other than that you're also fairly proximal to wine country, which can be a nice occasional excursion, and that UCD is on the legit cutting edge of some areas of science, such as agricultural genomics, so there are a good number of really smart people around there. No idea what your field is, though.

Hopefully we can pull off the transfer without getting deported or something.

I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but my honorable colleague the representative from Cameroon offered the greatest amendment to the resolution of all time! OF ALL TIME!

**** my country, but that seems like pretty dumb phrasing. You'll get locked up for using your 2nd amendment rights too. They aren't universal.

Trumps just going to get jealous that he can't lock people up for a week on the suspicion that they are going to do some legal protesting.

I haven't read the american reports, but the story is worse than that from what I've read. She's a student that was suppose to start at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She had a student visa from the Israeli council in Florida. They are detaining her for her so-called involvement in BDS.

Not only that, but left-wing parliament members weren't allowed to visit her.

After a two-hour delay and the attempted intervention of the Knesset's legal advisor, Minister Deri announced that he would approve the MKs entry on the condition they send a written request.

However, despite having sent the request, the MKs were denied entry to the prison facility.

If Linzie becomes AG, then he takes over the Mueller investigation and can just give all the info directly to Trump, right? That's why they don't need to fire Rosenstein, they can just usurp him.

Also, an easy drive to get to Tahoe as well as the mentioned wine country and SF.

This is terrifying.

There is an entirely plausible scenario where:

1. GOP holds Congress
2. Sessions replaced as AG
3. Mueller fired
4. Democracy over

After a very miserable year in NC (mostly from academic/research standpoint but also everything here kinda sucks) we might have an opportunity to move to UC Davis which is probably a ****hole but one of the top schools in my wife's field.

Anyone has any experience/knowledge about Davis? How bad is it going to be?

I haven't spent a ton of time in Davis, but it seemed pretty cool. My wife's cousin graduated there (PhD I think) and we visited him and his wife there a couple times. Not a ****hole at all. Too hot for me, but otherwise a nice town.

Seems pretty cool, but they do alter them quite a bit eliminating the design problem of rooms being too narrow. And they have plenty of windows.
