A tire valve stem removal tool is a few dollars.
A tire valve stem removal tool is a few dollars.
In 2020 it was used at least in part on over 80% of websites according to w3techs.
Here they go again with the silent majority bullshit.
They still can’t wrap their heads around the fact that they are a tiny minority.
Yeah the whole “I love unions, but we at this company are a family so we don’t need that”, is peak anti-union talk. Throughout history it’s been used by people who are horrible to their employees.
Long story short, he was always a slimy asshole, but here are some key points from wikipedia and just in regards to his mayoral position:
Hated the homeless and tried to have them “removed”(used cops to arrest them and shove them in overcrowded shetlers. A church ended up suing the city for their right to help homeless people)
“cracked down on crime”, by basically aggressively arresting people for minor crimes like jumping the turnstile.
Tried to stop multiple community service proogram for the mentally ill, elderly, day-care, etc.
Big fan of “eminent domain” to take buildings and give them to his sponsors.
Racist with multiple racist pollcies, many staffers and leaders left because of him.
He threaten funding for the Brooklyn Musem if they didn’t remove several pieces, specifically including one called “The Holy Virgin Mary” which was of a black person. Calling it a governement-supported attack on christianity and they had to sue the city.
Campaigned on fixing public schools, but cut $2bill of their budget and $4.7bill from the repairs budget
Two days after Columbine he said he wanted to “blow up” the Board of Education.
Wanted to imprison the teachers union president if they went into strike(their contract was up and the city hadn’t started any renegotiation)
Allegedly cheated on his wife with his spokeswoman
Tried to threaten Time Warner to have Fox on their cable network, and defended Murdoch when all the surveillance and bribery scandals came about
His administration lost 22 out of 26 civil liberty lawsuits against them, mostly for trying to stifle first amandment rights.
He wanted a deal with Virginia in which they had to take NYCs trash, in exchange for them being able to visit NYCs culture sites. He also tried to send it to New Jersey, and announced that wihtout actually talking to them first, at all. This all happened because he closed a landfill 20-30 years too early , because he didn’t like how it looked, so it had to be shipped out of town. Costing millions, causing even more pollution, etc.

And much, much more.

To be fair, it’s at least Rasberry PI microprocessor on a custom PCB inside the keycap, and not an off the shelf operational Rasberry PI with a fancy keyboard.
I’m guessing they’re the ones who keep pushing the “europe abusing africa” memes recently as well, since they’re the ones doing it now.
Let’s not skip over the fact that he probably got the dynamite from an abandonded house, so it’s most likely pretty old.
And there were detonators there as well.
I’ve read these stories multiple times now and I still don’t quite understand what’s happening.
That’s because it’s mostly lies and propaganda not aimed at you, but the Russian people.
Russians have been burning those offices for over a year, with it ramping up after people started getting forcefully recruited. Russia as always is trying to say it’s not “real russians” doing it, but people influenced by “the evil west”. It’s their standard strategy when it comes to pretty much any set back, ever. In this case it’s mostly blamed on “evil ukranian scammers”, so they can keep justifying the invasion and occupation.
The ceo is a bigoted asshole, Brave is chromium, it was initially funded by Peter Thiel and they’re literally just trying to make their own adsense network.
The self-proclaimed privacy focused browser is tracking your browsing and want to serve you personalized ads, and I think they want to use that tracking data for AI training as well, meaning other people can potentially access it.
And lets not forget about their crypto currency that you can earn by turning on special ads. Which they seemingly unironically called it “Basic Attent Tokens”…
TL;DR: The company is basically a sham company trying to usher in a dystopia. Where you’ll get paid for staring at ads, while having all your data stolen and sold back to you.
Why the fuck anyone is humouring these clowns is beyond me.
Answer: Money.
They hand out money like candy at Halloween.
Having seen recipes for mtn dew marinated chicken and kool-aid pickles, yeah I’d have to check too.
To be fair, it was low pressure because it operated by creating a partial vacuum from condensing steam.
The main deflector or deflector array is crucial for stopping microscopic particles from wrecking most ships at relativistic speeds, and is technically called the “navigational deflector” for that reason.
At sub-light speeds those same particles are barely noticable, if at all, when stopped by the normal shields, basic deflectors or even hull plates. Which why they don’t modify it while at warp, and pretty much only use it while at sub-light speeds.
In-universe it was designed to serve multiple purposes and be used in research or defense of other ships. And I seem to remember there being some sort of lockout where the ship wont go to warp if it can’t engage the deflector. Since even a small particle cloud could destroy the entire ship a fraction of a second after it set off.
It’s a link aggregator that finds an available file to stream to you from servers that already have the full file, which may or may not have been assembled from a legitimate source or torrent.
That’s literally the argument they use for torrents as well. They don’t host any material, just point to it. And they are still being taken down left and right for breaking some law or another in regards to that.
While true that they’re not polluting for fun, many corporations will try to avoid any anti-pollution measure that will lose them money. To the point where they spend billions of dollars every year to lobby governements, enviromental protection organizations, and drag out regulations with lawsuits. Because in the long run it’s usually worth it for them to pollute, as long as the investors see enough profits in the short term.
I think they’re trying to implement a sort of “smart prediction” thing, where it assumes that if you go back the link you clicked wasn’t relevant. And so it tries to remove closely related results. Which works the opposite if you get two results from the same page and you click the wrong one. Which makes looking up technical or programming related issues a nightmare.
With the TL;DR being: Google/Alphabet wants to more easily block non-chrome browsers ability to use their services, and prevent the use of adblocking.
Which also means that many people using accessability tools will be unable to access them. And they are trying to get Firefox to implement it as well, so they don’t take all the blame when shit hits the fan and they start getting multi-billion dollar monopoly fines from the EU.
The only people using Facebook these days either don’t know what addons/extentions are, or they are forced to use it through work/business.
