Donald Trump doesn’t know how to operate a website

"Someone told me I need pipes for the website. We need to get the best pipes. Do they come in gold plate?"

The Telltale game (I haven't played it yet) seems to be based on Drummer from the TV show. TV Drummer is radically different from Book Drummer. Book Drummer, certainly in the first six books, is a very minor presence, as the security chief on Tycho Station. TV Drummer is a composite of several book characters.

IIRC, there's a bit of minor head cannon involving Book Drummer and "The Butcher of Anderson Station". That might be referenced in the Telltale game, since it's a prequel for TV Drummer.

Also, those parking lots are likely place holders for building lots.

You’ll never see this in New York City or in DC for example.

There are surface lots in Manhattan, though they are being developed into multistory buildings and no new surface lots are being constructed.

Some of the remaining surface lots probably continue to operate as placeholders for "future tall building site", while rights/price/building codes are being hashed out. In the meantime, you can charge a lot of money for a parking spot in Manhattan.

But someone recently said he revived the NFT market single-handedly, with people making a bigly 1000% return!

"anyone who tried to harm the robot would be identified and arrested."

But what if you sneak up and dress it like a Dalek, maybe with a speaker that yells out, "IT IS THE DOCTOR! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" That cannot possibly be a crime.

There's barely any advantage to being on Mars compared to orbiting some random Lagrange point or the sun itself.

Oye Beltalowda.
