Trump put sanctions on Russian pipelines, which Biden later lifted. Is that evidence of Biden being beholden to Russia? Every president makes hawkish and dovish diplomatic decisions, the inferential correlating of them to lurid rumors is no

If it is a cloth with a cloth's texture it wouldn't be bad since it would be reflected in such a diffuse pattern. Besides getting it directly from the sun anyways, you're already getting harsher glare reflections off of water

You may find luck with Estes Sure Move. They provide a commercial truck trailer that they truck for you and you save money the less space you use in it (they fill the rest with commercial shipping). I used them to leave the Seattle and they

The article names 2019 as when he totally ran out of fuel. I assume there were previously enough rations on board (it was stocked for an entire crew before being abandoned), and perhaps he made a deal with the visiting guard to bring food.
