Excluding mobile homes, you can get a 318 square foot studio in downtown San Diego for only $180,000! Not including the $770/mo HOA fee. I like that the listing includes a lot size of 1.2 acres, as if you get the whole city block to yourself.

I’m not sure, because cars were more widely seen as a status symbol in the US (because they were marketed that way). I would bet that a much smaller percentage of people in the US see their phones as a status symbol. Other countries may be different. Remember all the premium phone brands like Vertu? Or the gold Apple Watch?

Jan 4, 2010. Air date for an episode of Good Eats with this avocado toast recipe.
Hell yeah we slept in the deployment area. We were deploying to Afghanistan by air, and after showing up on base with the hand-carry gear that would go on the plane with us (other gear was a combination of cargo flight and stuff already there) we jumped on the passenger buses to take us to the nearby air base we would fly out of. It was still early when we got there, both early in the morning and early for the flight. You always build in plenty of extra time; “hurry up and wait” is the mantra. So we spent a few hours before the plane even showed up just waiting in the passenger terminal, which was just a big hangar with a snack bar on one end and unlimited coffee. Most of us slept for a bit. And before you ask where, the answer is always “on the floor”.
Without additional details on where those troops are (US or already on board ships in the Mediterranean?), it could mean a few things, but speaking from my own experience it would involve having all required equipment packed up and staged on a military base, personnel would have a bag packed and easily accessible, and any scheduled training exercises would likely be cancelled, especially if they were multi-day exercises. Normal daily routine would be the same. Any leave would be cancelled. 24 hours was how long we had to report to an assembly area for deployment, not necessarily actually leave the country, much less arrive at the destination.
I don’t understand why people think concentrating it and keeping large quantities on-site is preferable to heavily diluting and releasing it. A giant vat of radioactive water sounds like another disaster waiting to happen.
Yeah, no reason to attribute to malice that which can be explained by simple greed.
First thing I thought of when I saw this post.
