They reach maturity fast, are basically always fertile, short gestational periods, and have large litters. It's like trying to eradicate mice/rats by shooting them.

They're not able to keep up with the breeding in Texas, and there's even helicopter tours where you can try and wipe out whole herds at a time.

It's because EPA under Obama changed emissions regulations from average across vehicles sold to tables by wheelbase (in order to try and tighten mpg on larger vehicles instead of sedans just getting better to average it out). So now, as MPG requirements go up, they just build bigger cars to bump into the next size instead of hitting MPG targets for the current size. This is also partly why there's few sedan models and everyone has just moved to crossovers.

Every potential regulation/deregulation has unintended consequences that should be explored to figure out if the consequences may be worse than current. Instead everyone just does it by throwing darts and assuming everyone will just go along with the intent. When that doesn't work, they go about blaming the other side for loopholes before repeating the process to try and close those loopholes up.

Except a tip isn't a contractual transaction, so there's nothing illegal happening. They just left a clickbaity political flyer. There's no difference between leaving this and leaving Chick Tracts, other than this one makes you double take before throwing it out.

If they tried to pay for the meal with it, there'd be a legal problem since they're trying to pass it off as money.

If they knowingly pass a counterfeit bill, yes.

But this is a tip, not a payment so there's no agreed upon amount that is supposed to be left.

Also, this isn't a counterfeit bill, since it's easily distinguishable from legal currency.

Is leaving a clickbaity political flyer in place of a tip a scummy thing to do? Absolutely. But it's not illegal.

For the "bill" itself, we can't see the other side, but there's enough differences that you wouldn't mistake it for real currency at more than a glance. Fake bills for movie/tv sets look far closer to real bills (basically with obviously fake serial numbers and "for movie use only" stamped on it.

For leaving it as a tip, it's not being used to satisfy a payment. While tipping is expected, it's not required and there's not an agreed upon amount between the parties. So they're just leaving a scummy flyer behind. Not any different than the people that 'tip' with Chick Tracts. If they were to use it to try and pay the bill, it'd be illegal.

Maybe, but also only if it's trying to be used as cash. Trying to pay for groceries, meal, depositing it at a bank, etc. would be an issue. Leaving it as a tip, while a scummy thing to do, isn't on the same ballpark since it's not an agreed upon transaction (i.e. no price for a tip is agreed upon by the parties), and you'd have to prove intent to pass it off as cash and not just a flyer/pamphlet.

Those are two different ways of looking at the same thing, since either way lets other countries know how to do things undetected.

Even if there's no alien technology, reports will show capabilities and limitations of US radars and other methods of detecting foreign objects. And there's likely stuff about US experimental craft in there as well. Even if outdated, that's something that the DOD isn't going to want out there.

You still use the carrier sim card for a connection. That doesn't depend on what OS you're using.

Unless they changed their minds, personal use isn't going to hit the requests per minute required to trigger needing to pay.

The tankless heater should have a map in the specs divided into zones by average water temperature. There'll then be a table that references the zones and what size you need for what you expect to heat at the same time.
