This is timely, I just finished Cube Escape last week! Is there an order to play these three or are they standalone?

The text of the statute refers to someone who is "an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance," so alcohol wouldn't count. You're asked on the form to attest that you are not either a current user or addict, so I don't think past use applies either. You just can't both own a gun and do illegal drugs simultaneously, which I guess they think they can prove Hunter did. It's one of those stupid laws that can be enacted selectively to add charges and put people in prison for longer.

From the article:

The petition to the right-wing court comes as the economic orthodoxy on rent control is shifting, with decades of empirical data showing that limiting rent increases does not get in the way of new construction, as economists long argued.

They definitely shouldn't have flipped out at you about it, but that doesn't mean they were wrong. Vehicles almost never appreciate in value; it just so happens that you accidentally timed the used car market perfectly.

Making it harder to change the constitution is an inherently conservative position. That's basically what conservative means – it's a desire to keep things mostly how they are (or how they used to be, in the supposed "good old days").

Sorry, but that's just not true. California's coastal areas are hugely impacted by moisture blowing in from the Pacific. San Francisco's historical average humidity in August is above 60% and the temperature rarely goes about 80.

If it's rainfall you want, just go a bit further north. Coastal Northern California receives about as much annual precipitation as Seattle. You can find basically any climate you could want in the state – trying to make a blanket statement is pointless.

That's such a nonsensical statement to make about a state the size of California. Just the 3 main coastal cities have vastly different climates, and that's not even getting into the highly varied ecosystems found inland. Are you thinking specifically about the weather in the LA area?

Yeah I'm sure they just went to a sign company and said "here's what we want." A week is plenty of time for that

Wouldn't ULA count? They're a joint venture between two publicly traded companies, at least. I don't know if that means they themselves are considered publicly traded though.

Edit: actually I think I misread, you said publicly owned
