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.

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.

Before anyone does this: Check your oven.

Some modern convection ovens have a sperate heating element in front of the fan in the back or fan(s) behind the heating elements in general, which means it works the same as an air fryer.

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.

(IT probably didn’t care much about this compared to the time that another employee was soliciting prostitutes using his work email.)

Correct.

Unless you actually click on the shady porn links we don't care.

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.
