The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, but it only pertained to enslaved people in the Confederate states. Slave states like Missouri and Kentucky that remained in the Union were not included.

It's a little more nuanced than that; it specifically limited the emancipation to the parts of the United States (not recognizing the secession of the southern states) in rebellion against the federal government, so slaves in areas that had been occupied by the Union Army, and were therefore no longer in rebellion, were also excluded from emancipation.
Also, in practical terms, the Emancipation Proclamation was political grandstanding, with Lincoln declaring slaves to be free in territory not under the control of the United States government, and over which he technically had no authority.

I have been tempted, several times over the years, to go to a bank and get a 'sheaf' of $2 bills (an entire wrapped stack of 100 bills -- cashiers hate people asking for a small number of them, because they have to 'buy' a whole sheaf out of their till, which restricts their ability to serve other customers), then clamp them to a cardboard backing and brush a short edge with pad glue to make a pad of $2 bills, which I would stick in a checkbook cover and pay for things by peeling $2 bills off the pad, just to see how many cashiers would, as in the anecdote above, think they were fake.

There are other oddities in music -- for example, you can sing 'Clementine', 'The Halls of Montezuma', and 'Deutschland Uber Alles' to each other's melodies. You can also do it with 'Amazing Grace', the theme from 'Gilligan's Island', 'House of the Rising Sun', and 'O Little Town of Bethlehem'.

"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving, and revolving at nine hundred miles an hour. That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our power. The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, are moving at a million miles a day, in an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, of this galaxy we call the Milky Way..."

If this keeps up, they're going to have to change the company name to "EverGrounded"...

The article has one paragraph and no links, so there's nothing to learn.

Doesn't a transparent solar panel waste a significant fraction of the potential energy capture?

If it hadn't rained in Greenland in 1933 and 1950, I'd be amazed. Apparently, 70 years is "recorded history" now. A report from the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in 1975 (https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/bitstream/11681/11728/1/SR-216.pdf) notes "Hogue also notes that in the Centrale-Eismitte area, drizzle and rain were each reported once in a three-year period, on 20 and 21 June 1950, respectively". CNN itself is hypocritical on the issue, the headline blaring "Rain fell at the normally snowy summit of Greenland for the first time on record", then in the article stating "It was the heaviest rainfall on the ice sheet since record keeping began in 1950"; using "first time on record" in the headline and then contradicting themselves in the article suggests that CNN's intent is to whip up fear about climate change, not report news. And with the paucity of sensor stations on Greenland, it is entirely possible that there have been more that have gone unnoticed and unrecorded.

I don't recall which airline it was that had the advertising campaign, but there was a running joke after the rash of hijackings to Cuba started:
(stewardess 1) "I'm Carol. Fly me to Orlando!"
(stewardess 2) "I'm Barbara. Fly me to New York!"
(man in balaclava with gun) "I'm Manuel. Fly me to Havana."

Looks like someone's channeling Vaughn Bode and his "Motorcycle Mama" artwork

Unfortunately, the sole image on the Senia website showing one of the beef Wellingtons, as well as the top image in the article, suggests that most, if not all, of the intricate coloration in the artistic presentation is lost under the Maillard reaction when the dish is cooked -- the colorful images all appear to be uncooked examples; it would have been nice to have better images of the cooked results to see how well the artistry carries over.

It's the same legal reasoning that preserved the status of tomatoes as a vegetable, despite being botanically a fruit. Basically, there are legal definitions for various food items for the purpose of assessing taxes or import duties, and which side of a division something falls on affects how and if the government collects those fees.

It's in the Forbes article that way, so there's an excuse for the subliteracy, but "2400 megawatts" just tells you the maximum load; there's nothing about the capacity of the storage systems -- i.e., how long can the storage systems deliver that load? If the installed battery base can provide 2400 megawatts of power, but can only do so for one hour, that's not going to be very useful when solar and wind production isn't up to the demand. The megawatt-hour capacity of the battery systems is even more important than just the maximum load.
