jjagaimo@lemmy.cato [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•I am afraid I can't replace my car anymoreEnglish6·7 months agoIf it works, absolutely do not get rid of it. If you can afford to keep it and get a second vehicle or pass it on to someone you know. Because the moment you get a new vehicle it will have 1/100th the reliability and you’ll sorely miss it. Not that im saying “they were built better back then,” but something thats worked this long probably will keep working for a while (bathtub curve of failure)

- Zellnor Myrie
Before law school, Myrie worked for the New York City Council as a legislative director where he helped draft the Tenant Bill of Rights. After law school, he joined Davis Polk & Wardwell. As an associate at the firm, Myrie worked more than 600 pro bono hours in one year. His pro bono work included cases brought by victims of police brutality, special education students seeking services from the Department of Education, domestic violence victims, and asylum seekers
On May 30, 2020, Myrie was pepper-sprayed and handcuffed while taking part in protests following the murder of George Floyd.[19][20] On October 29, 2021, six New York City firefighters were suspended for threatening the staff of Myrie in regards to his support of firing certain city employees who were unwilling to be vaccinated against COVID-19
Myrie supports financial institutions having the right to deny lending capital to ammunition and gun industries. Myrie has advocated for requiring food regulators to target corporations that advertise unhealthy foods. In 2021, Myrie was one of two members of the New York State Senate to vote against a bill designating baseball as the official state sport of New York.
In 2021, Myrie authored the Community Violence Intervention Act, which declared gun violence a public health crisis and which provides millions of dollars to local hospital- and community-based violence intervention programs. Myrie also authored a first-in-the-nation law that classifies illegal gun sales as a nuisance, which could open gun manufacturers to liability.
- Brad Lander
From 1993 to 2003, Lander was the executive director of the Fifth Avenue Committee (FAC), a Park Slope not-for-profit organization that develops and manages affordable housing.
From 2003 to 2009, Lander was a director of the university-based Pratt Center for Community Development. In that position, he was a critic of the Bloomberg administration’s development policies.[8][15][16][17] He has also been a critic of the Atlantic Yards project.[18] Lander’s work in 2003–2005 on Greenpoint-Williamsburg rezoning led to the first New York City inclusionary housing program to create affordable housing in new development outside Manhattan.[19] Lander served on a mayoral taskforce that recommended reforms to the 421-a tax exemption for luxury housing and required that new development in certain areas of the city set aside affordable housing units.[20][21] He co-led the completion of the One City One Future platform, a progressive vision for economic development in New York City.[22][23] He stepped down as head of the organization in 2009 to seek a seat on the New York City Council.[24] Lander teaches as an adjunct professor at Brooklyn Law School.
In 2013, Lander played a key role in a campaign to pass paid sick leave over Mayor Bloomberg’s veto, telling the Brooklyn Reporter the legislation would “make our city a fairer, more compassionate place to live and work.”[32][33] Lander passed the Independent Expenditure Disclosure Act, giving NYC the most aggressive SuperPAC disclosure requirements in the country.[34] In 2015, Lander passed legislation to ban discriminatory employment credit checks, ending the practice of companies discriminating against people because of their credit history.[35] In March 2015, Lander was arrested for blocking traffic in Park Slope to show support for eight striking car washers, outside a car wash that was closed at the time; it was his fourth arrest.[36][37] The Wall Street Journal covered his arrest with an article entitled: “Please Don’t Arrest Me—Until the Cameras Are Here”.[38] In November 2016 he announced his intention to get arrested, saying it was: “part of a long tradition of civil disobedience, and it takes a little courage.”[39] In December 2017 he was arrested inside the Capitol Building in Washington DC as he was protesting a tax bill and refusing the request of police to move the protest from public spaces; he tweeted “Being arrested … in the halls of Congress while … fighting for a country where we provide health care for those who need it … is something I’ll remember for the rest of my life”.[40] In June 2018 he was arrested for blocking traffic, disorderly conduct, and failing to disperse at a protest outside the office of State Senator Martin Golden.[41]

jjagaimo@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does hand washing your undies prevent it from losing its shape and elasticity?1·7 months agoThere are heat pump dryers which take longer but are more gentle because the clothes are heated significantly less. They recycle the air across a cold plate to condense out water vapor out then a hot plate to re-heat the air. Its essentially a dehumidifier.

Try to find a group of core members because someone will need to keep track of things
The company I work for makes a product which goes into weapons like missiles, planes, jets, helicopters which are used by Israel and realizing that it was probably going to go towards helping kill innocent civilians. I mean technically we are sub sub sub contractors, but they are used explicitly for this project and purpose
My only consolation is that I stopped working on those ones personally after a week of “Make it work but dont change ANYTHING”, they constantly fail testing and are sent back for RMA, and the guy they hired to fix them is so criminally incompetent that the company has had to completely revise their hiring proces
