Computer components, Water Purifiers, and Power Generators...but low supply on all of them.

Still, it went together without issue & looks pretty. Not a lot of pieces, which meant I could fit all the pieces on my TV tray while I built it.
Also, it's the first puzzle I've done with jagged edges!

Puzzle is clearly laser cut, out of like ⅛" plywood. I'd guess the image is just UV printed on before they cut it.
Some whimsical animal shaped pieces.
Some questionable choices on the shapes overall: lots of tiny protrusions I was worries would snap off.

I'm like 90% sure they stole the look and feel of their puzzles from other companies. Possibly the images too, IDK...they don't list artists on their site.
But. It does look nice, and it's decent quality, and it was dirt cheap.

Ugh. "Mob of MINERVA" is the faction not "Mob of Moab" geez.

...until I got bored of combat & just did space trucking to (unsuccessfully, so far) try to get in top 10%.
The implication that I find space trucking more interest-keeping than combat says something about my brain lol.

6. Swap to my stored T10
7. Slaughter pirates at a RES[low] until the missions are finished
8. Turn in bounties, swap back to the trading ship
9. Jump back to Nyx, turn in the missions
10. Repeat

350,000,000 Americans, assume 1/2 pay taxes ... so 175,000,000 x $5000 = $875,000,000,000.
So knocking on the door of a trillion dollars?
Leaving aside the fact that their "savings" are BS, what's the point of saving all that if they're just gonna spend it anyway?

(the other one is a cute little boutique art gallery with a 1BR living space upstairs)
Assuming a corrupt save file doesn't erase my stuff...
Also…if we do get daycares, I hope the caregivers work a lot better than the nannies you can hire who will completely ignore the children.

Ugh! You know some of us already planned for a summer Christmas...guess I'm calling everyone I sent an invite to...thanks...really hard to plan when these things don't get announced until mid-February. 😂

I don't *really* think they'd do anything so brazenly corrupt.
But I wouldn't be at all surprised if it did happen.

Then the Billionaires turn around and sell it for $2000-$3000 on the market. Profit is in the hundreds of billions.
Basically looting it in plain sight without stealing it.

Elon goes in, "Gold's all here but I realized we can fund gov't by selling it."
Elon, or other Oligarchs that own the GOP, buy it at the $42 rate. Upfront cost is like $11B.
They play it as a win: "We just instantly raised $11B for the USA!"

Hm. I...don't think they need to steal the gold to loot it. Here's an interesting play:
By law, gold is values at ~$42/ounce. On the open market of course, it's like $3000 an ounce.
So:

"Oh well," I think to myself as the armored prisoner transport takes me somewhere—I'm not really sure if we're going to a federal facility or the airport—"we'll fix all this after we beat 'em in the next election."

I kind of hate folks obsessing over musk's involvement in it anyway. The problem we face is not a deranged billionaire setting fire to federal agencies. The problem we face is a president who would let him. The problem is not Musk. The problem is Trump.

Though of course they couldn't resist a dig at Biden in there: "Partly as a result of obstruction by the Biden-era Securities and Exchange Commission [...]"

According to this, they're blaming a lot of it on "$107.4 million in stock-based compensation expense and a further $225.9 million recorded as an accounting loss due to changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities".
I have no idea what that means though.
