One thing that the general public is not that aware of re: Tesla is that *they do not manufacture their own battery cells*
They lease space in their factories for third-parties such as Panasonic.
A lot of people invested in Tesla because they thought Tesla was vertically integrated re: the cells.

Love this nature-based solution
For years, authorities debated building a barrier to protect the Klabava River, south of Prague. A dam would have solved the problem, but the project had stalled since 2018 due to financial and bureaucratic problems. Then beavers took matters into their own paws— completing the job almost overnight.

If professional and non-profit organizations cave like the American Society of Microbiology apparently it will be a less straw. What has happened to this country's leaders?
Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.
