Deep Space 9: The Prophets are future Bajorans that evolved beyond space & time, which is why they refer to themselves as "of Bajor" and have such a high interest in the fate of its people. The Pah-wraiths are just future evolved asshole Bajorans like Kai Winn & Jaro Essa.

Humans are terrible batteries/fuel cells. And Orpheus said the machines had fusion power. It makes far more sense that the machines were using humans for computing, not basic metabolism. It's been mentioned that this was the Wachowskis' original intention but the suits made them dumb it down for audiences to understand but I haven't found any direct quotes about that.

Nuclear power is also very sensitive to the interest rate environment due to the very high upfront costs and financing. It's probably an even bigger difference in favor of renewables now.

I went back in during some of the recent current events to see how the discussions were. Plenty of quantity, not much quality, imo. There wasn't much in the way of thoughtful commentary or discussion that interested me.

The judge has every right to revoke bail and lock him up if he breaks those terms. I'm not betting any money on that actually happening, but if the law were applied equally he'd be denied bail and in prison until trial already.

The plane won't take off. Their pilot's not going to fly internationally without filing a flight plan and they're not going to go on the lam with their client.

The Secret Service knows Trump's whereabouts at all times. He's not going to slip away from them.

As for the others, even the ultra-wealthy's private jets are easily tracked via publicly available data.
