The book was pretty simplistic but frankly told a much better story than the movie
I have said this here before, but the movie should have told the book story, with each interview/chapter given to a different director, each given license to create independent, potentially wildly different, styles / music/ lighting/etc, presumably corresponding to the different perspectives of the interviewees.
but each director would have a fixed set of "rules" so that it does not feel like separate movies. For example, how the zombies look and move, etc.
each chapter introduced similar to the book, with the interviewer being the string the ties the whole story together
a Tarantino chapter, a Baylis chapter, etc.

the old " double bounce".
I am pretty sure most of the bones broken on our trampoline growing up were the result of that effect, and why we were not supposed to ever bounce more than 1 at a time, but still did

That's a pretty big nice looking tree
I would either chop it between the lowest branches and that fork, and top work it, or chop it just above the branches and graft a different variety onto each branch to create an open center multivariety tree

Yes
You can graft onto branches, but that is best on young trees when you can graft close to the trunk and expect eventual large branch entirely of the new variety. Though my experience with persimmons is that lower branches are shed as the tree grows
Best would be to graft on to the top so that all future upward growth is the new variety , with other varieties on near-top branches so you can graft near the trunk
If the tree is already quite tall, so that a pencil sized graft is too high, top working is the way to go. With a saw or a pair of loppers, cut the main trunk down to 1-4 ft, and do a graft onto the stump.
Several techniques for doing that. YouTube is great to educate you. If you have a sharp knife or box cutter, some electrical tape, and plastic bags, you are set. Paraffin tape and other job-specific tools aren't worth buying for just a couple of grafts
This is a great time of year for it

If it was mine, I would order cuttings of several of the many cultivated improved native persimmon and graft/top-work them on to the already established tree, leaving at least one branch of the male to optimize production.

I did a rewatch of The first several seasons a few years ago. I had enjoyed it in it's original run, and was also surprised by how cheesy everything was initially, acting, production value, the whole magilla. Fortunately, Everything got better as time went on
the salinity should be uniform independent of Depth. murky water should not prevent accurate use of the refractometer

not to hijack this thread too much, but even at 180 gal, my tank is far too small for all of the fish varieties you describe.
get a refractometer marketed to aquarium keepers for about 30 bucks
I have kept a 180gal brackish tank for about 30 years and tried to keep just about every plant and fish from coastal Louisiana
most "fresh water" plants can survive in a specific gravity up to about 1.005, some up to 1.008-1.010, permanently.
I keep my tank at 1.005-1.008, and have a healthy mix of mostly native fresh/ brackish /marine fish with some exotic and native freshwater plants. Full marine is about 1.025

his first answer was correct he works for the county, and you my man are a blithering idiot!

The word "Federal" was not mentioned in the original question
Hint: State and local governments also have 3 branches of government, and every employee is overseen by one of those branches

The other thread showed the "high levels" of contamination to be a few parts per billion.
The use of immunohistochemistry to detect truly minute portion of contamination is mind boggling

The remarkable thing is that the feds under Obama demanded exclusive oversight of all things immigration so that they could exclusively refuse to act, and prevent states from picking up the slack
In that analogy, he knew about the robbery beforehand, road in the van with the robbers, and left with them after the act.
But while in the bank, he shoved a microphone in the face of the tellers, derisively demanding they explain why the bank didn't deserve to be robbed
Oh, and refused to leave when asked to by the manager.

re: What is your position on freedom of the Press?

A lot of wha you’re saying is in direct conflict with decades of, if not longer, jurisprudence on this topic
Sadly true
That's why I added the "should not",
The "press" is the printing press, and freedom of the press means the freedom of mass communication/expression without state interference
Journalists are not "the press", they are fellow citizens who have created a vocation by exercising our universal right of mass communication
Being a journalist does not (should not) offer special consideration, including a waiver to perform otherwise illegal Acts
ETA: in this regard the internet is the ultimate modern manifestation of the printing press, and any effort to limit free expression on the internet should be viewed in that light
