Looked it up just now, and it seems they had plans to collaborate but abandoned them a couple years ago. I'll have to correct hubs next time it comes up.

it's something, I guess. Rivians are kinda cool, electric and not musk-controlled. I'm told they are the actual manufacturers of the F-150 Lightning platform too.

Love these guys, I always worry about them getting in trouble but they're doing amazing work.

Where are they implying it went? Did it evaporate out into space? Was it absorbed into the earth's crust? Or is it just becoming unpotable - and if that, how does the change in earth's wobble that they use to make this claim imply that water has lost it's freshness?

Pretty early days but potentially promising, if it's cheap - "exotic" materials rarely are though.

the bird issues in the desert were probably unique to the ivanpah test generators that focus a large numbers of mirrors at a single point to heat a molten salt powered generator. The idea behind them is the molten salt retains the heat and can be used to continue power generation throughout the night as well as the day.

The one from decades ago was fine and kind of funny actually - it was the gay one but grayscale. This one is shoplifting the trans colors. Also only chuds will ever fly this, so at least it functions as a do-not-interact signifier.

Trying to imagine a more supervillan front sounding corporation than "Drax Group"

Bugs are alright man, I've had several different preparations and enjoyed most of them. The ice cream was particularly good! Though I am not enthusiastic about trying the roach bars from Snowpiercer the way these fearmongers would like you to conceive of entomophagy. A total ecological collapse would have many more things to worry about than just your nutritional sources.
