The USGS defined a mountain as any landform that rises 1000ft or more above the surrounding area. Ohio's most prominent (and highest) point is 1549ft above sea level (43rd highest overall) but is only 639ft above the surrounding area. It is also 1094ft above the lowest point (the Ohio River at the tri-boundary of Indiana and Kentucky).

Ohio isn't landlocked and was at one point a major ocean access point for the interior, so much so that there was a war fought over it that directly caused the American Revolution.

Sir your moon is upside down

Great shot! Need me a telescope like this. Got a cheap one, had too much zoom to even be usable...

The sun will engulf the earth before this happens.
The sun expanding will actually not change anything past Earth's orbit. The center of gravity will be unchanged, thus expansion alone cannot affect orbits.

It is, but I'm talking about the opposite: Earth becoming tidally locked to the Moon, etc.

Ours isn't. And Mars is only ripping one of 2 apart.
Moons only get ripped apart if they orbit faster than the rotation of their host planet. This is because tidal forces are working to rob them of energy, further decreasing their already short distances from their host planet.
This list is Phobos (Mars), Metis and Andrastea (Jupiter), Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Cupid, Belinda, Perdita, Puck, and Mab (Uranus), and Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, and Hippocamp (Neptune). All of these moons are listed from nearest to furthest to their host.
All others are safe, as they are robbing energy from their host planet, speeding up and drifting away until they eventually slow their host rotation to tidally lock with them.

The Lightning Lariat actually has more battery than the same price of Powerwall and is still a truck. Tax credit doesn't apply to the battery yet.

We have a few options on the market, they're not incredibly expensive but I wouldn't call them cheap.
Of note, the F150 Lightning is dollar for dollar the best value for a home battery. It's also a truck.
