She’s confirmed only the second verse is about Beatty.

My 11 is feeling pretty slow and the memory is too little as apps are constantly refreshing when using the app switcher. These issues have me looking at getting a 15 even though there will be nothing magical about it compared to what I have. It will be a moderate upgrade across the board though.

Reply to comment by AbsolutelyNoHomo in Wind power is built at an increasing pace but its effect on nature and animals is poorly known. Researchers investigated the impact of wind turbines on bat presence and activity in Finnish boreal forests. The results indicate that wind power repels bats and drives them away from important habitats. by universityofturku
That’s not indicated by this study. I don’t know how to quote on mobile in app but here are some relevant paragraphs:
“Our results showed that bat presence was impacted by the presence of wind turbines as both studied groups were found more often further away from the wind turbines. Northern bats were repelled up to 800 metres from the wind turbines, but for the Myotis species the negative impact of wind power was even greater than one kilometre, which was the maximum distance we studied”, summarises lead author, Doctoral Researcher Simon Gaultier from the University of Turku.
“Regarding the results, it is not yet clear if bats avoid the wind turbines themselves, or the surrounding area”, explains Simon Gaultier, and continues: “In Finland, building turbines in forests requires cutting down a number of trees and building large roads to bring turbine parts to the construction sites. Bats like the Myotis don’t like these kinds of changes and prefer dense forests with no open areas. This could be the explanation as why they tend to avoid wind farms.”
Other explanations, such as the noise and lighting emitted by wind turbines or the impact of these machines on insects, have been proposed as potential causes behind bats’ avoidance of wind farms. Regardless of the real causes, this avoidance can drive bats away from habitats that are important for their movement or feeding. This consequence is exacerbated when considering the cumulative effect of all wind turbines already operating or planned in Finland.

What about the abrasive nature of moon dust? I know there’s no wind like on Earth and Mars but it seems like travel to install and other operations will have an effect on how much is in the atmosphere.

I can’t overstate it enough the importance of liking where you work. People/management/workload/type of work can easily make the 11% feel like a terrible deal.
That 401k looks incredible though. You save 12% and the company adds another 17%? My company gives me 4% if I save 5%.

I think the synthetic materials is just to give it structure. You can see how much skin they intended to use before they started the process and you can see massive scar tissues at the bottom of the second picture where they used it.

It’s already leaving a scar. I wouldn’t call what they’re doing as “growing” a nose. They’re taking existing skin and molding it into a 3d nose shape which has the effect of ruining the skin in that area on her arm. Preferable to no nose but not growing, IMO.

Could be a lot of truth to that but it’s at least about more than one person.
