You're making my point for me. If you're super generous about paying this man for all his trouble, loss of freedom, court costs, etc. (and we should be) ...and then you double that for good measure... and then you double THAT for punitive purposes (and yes we should)... You still are far short of $175k.
I'm only bringing it up because it's our money as taxpayers. The ACLU should not be another piggy at the public trough.
How weird. Archive did some long display of loading resources and then showed me the correct article...but apparently the "share" link on it was wrong. Crazy
Who was harmed here to the tune of $175k? The ACLU should have settled for something much less.
The liver of wild boars are bioindicators for the presence, types and concentrations of PFAS “forever chemicals” in sites with limited industrial and human activities.

A new study has found that European wild boar, Sus scrofa, contains toxic PFAS (per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) at levels that are nearly five times greater than what is allowed under EU law in meat sold for human consumption.

Okay I want a broke down one of these, an crate electric motor, and a lifepo4 battery pack
It sounds awesome. First I would explain how difficult it is for low voltage to cause fires. If that doesn't work, maybe make a demo of a catastrophic failure (dead short) of your 5v brick, maybe he'll see that doesn't cause a fire. Or finally maybe encase the power brick and control circuitry in a metal container?
Two years is not enough for attempted rape.

Forget the chemicals, you'd need to be an expert to insure a good finish after strippers. Sanding should do nicely and not be too hard - it's also one of the steps kids can help with. From the looks of it sanding by hand or with a jitterbug should be enough. Sand with the grain. Maybe 120-150 grit until it's uniform and then 220. Use a tack rag to get the dust off. Then stain if you want and then the poly, at least 3 coats with a very light sanding between them - follow the instructions on the can.
Yeah sorry guys, did you forget you work for an asshole?
British-Cypriot writer Alex Christofi has documented the decay of a once-elegant town, abandoned when Turkey invaded in 1974
![Glamour to ghost town: the fate of one Cypriot beach resort – in pictures](https://lemdro.id/pictrs/image/f0f44c16-9723-4a1d-b0ed-74347b6634b2.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Once a glamorous destination that attracted the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Abba, the Cypriot resort of Varosha was abandoned on 14 August 1974 when Turkey invaded. For 50 years, the town has been deserted, but in 2020 it was opened up to tourists.
With the dropoff in EV purchases, maybe this was on purpose to protect Tesla's profit numbers in the short term
Are you defending the botched legal process and suggesting that it deserves more respect than the man who is in fact in the right? That we should continue to obey even when it's wrong?
The man also knew that his license was not in fact suspended in any legitimate way. If I was the victim of failed bureaucracy for months I would ignore it too.

PFAS have earned the name "forever chemicals" with good reason—the man-made compounds, which can take thousands of years to degrade and are found in everything from grease-resistant food packaging to water-repellent clothing, have made their way into nearly half the U.S. tap water supply.
