They could have fixed that issue with a few holes. One of the reasons cars have gotten more rust resistant over the years is better drainage design. Water will always find a way in, it needs to find a way out.

I'm sure there will continue to be knockoff z80's manufactured in China for a long time. There are plenty available on AliExpress right now, though I'm not sure of the quality.

I realize this isn't what you asked, but they should contact some lawyers who do labor law. Government agencies are generally hard to motivate even when you give them proof. Anonymous claims that require investigation aren't likely to be pursued.

Even though 10-15 minutes a shift might seem like not enough money to incentivise a lawyer, they can file a lawsuit on behalf of all similarly situated employees for all of the lost wages. Even if your friend doesn't want to be identified in a lawsuit, they can get a consultation. The lawyer can, especially with help from your friend, find someone to represent the group(like someone who no longer works there).

Dynalink DL-WRX36 is a good bargain right now. ~$80, WiFi 6 support, good specs, especially for the money, solid WiFi range. It's not the easiest(nor hardest) to install OpenWRT on, but anyone going the OpenWRT route should be prepared for some Googling, fiddling and forum reading anyway.

4 is ideal, but I'll happily eat 2-6. 7 is "I should make banana bread" 2 days before I throw it out.

I think the banana companies are doing something different with the ripening process the last few years because the peels stay greener longer, even though the banana is ripening at the same rate.

Did not know that. Won't be resubscribing

At least some of them were viewed as a threat. The Socialist Workers Party was relentlessly harassed and infiltrated by the FBI. At one point a third of their members were paid informants. Prominent members and leaders got yearly investigations where the FBI went to their bosses and landlords to question them about their "subversive activities". This is all despite their incredibly tame platform of entryism and rarely supporting AES countries.

It's all documented in a lawsuit they won against the US government: https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/642/1357/2398821/

I've been using PIA because they were the cheapest on a 3 year plan. It works out to around $2 a month. It's not the best because you need to use their app or some other workaround to get port forwarding to work, but it was the cheapest last time I looked.

I use it with the binhex/qbittorrentVPN docker container on my homeserver, it automatically connects and configures the port forwarding to make uploading work, it's a pretty complicated setup but once it's setup it works flawlessly.

I like this one better:

The reason those brands have crazy names is that they're rebranding stuff they bought from the actual manufacturer. Amazon will let any seller list identical products on the same listing, unless your brand name is trademarked. So to prevent another seller from using their (paid) product reviews, listing images, SEO, and advertising spend they make a new trademark. Because it takes a long time and a lot of legal work to find out if your trademark is unique for your product category, they make it something crazy that's never been used for anything so there's no chance they later lose their exclusive product listing.

In the US, you don't have to pay disability lawyers upfront. They get paid a percentage of any back pay they get you. It's usually the smart move unless you have some undeniable physical disability. They know the right words to use to make sure you qualify.

For me it really worked out because my lawyer argued I was disabled much farther back than I thought I could. I ended up with much more back pay even though he got 30% of it.

Logic of progressive Democrats:

We can't anger the donors, because if we can't get elected, we can't do anything about the problems the donors are creating.

Repeat until you retire and take lucrative board seats
