I basically have done the same thing on both occasions except the first one I have oddly done multiple times. One of the occasions still felt like I wasted all of my time and effort too because it was for a custom HPC environment(I was performing a major OS upgrade that also involved getting a lot programs to work on a 64 bit OS when they were originally written for a 16 or 32 bit OS) that was trashed within two months after the environment was fully up and running. The client not only bought new hardware(after repetitively telling me they wouldn't have a budget to do that for a couple of years) but also pulled a 180 on the decision that certain Opensource tools could be used within the environment after a code review and approval process was completed.
Did you try to recover the corrupted windows partition table first using either Testdisk by CGSecurity or Hiren's BootCD? If it was on a UNIX or Linux file system that sort of thing can be recovered a lot easier thanks to alternate superblocks and the ability to basically copy the partition sectors from another disk that is the same size with the same partitioning thanks to the dd command.

That would just encourage more drivers to do what Ross Chastain did and probably make the race more about which driver can within the physical abuse of hitting the barrier.

2020 article about this dam removal project makes it sound more like a financial burden removal rather than restoring salmon habitat. The environmental impact is just the emotional baggage being used to get the voters to foot the bill for the project.

"The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must approve the deal. If accepted, it would allow PacifiCorp and Berkshire Hathaway to walk away from aging dams that are more of an albatross than a profit-generator, while addressing regulators’ concerns."

Coconut oil varies a lot in its smoke point; unrefined its similar to butter but refined can get up past 400 F / 204 C(similar to canola oil).
I do like cooking with it despite the low heat limitation because it's good for things you can cook at lower temps like eggs and if you get good high quality oil then it will be near tasteless. Which means you can actually taste the egg instead of whatever oil / lard you fried them with.

The old adage is to buy low and sell high.

California recently started a Universal Basic Income Program (UBI) but, it is too early to tell if it will actually help reduce homelessness or instead cause a concentration of the US homeless population to migrate to California.

This article is from July[2022] and it has a more global review of UBI type programs that have been tried in the past or are currently in progress(Kenya for example).

"Generally, a state's exclusive economic zone is an area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, extending seaward to a distance of no more than 200 nmi (370 km) out from its coastal baseline."

"China has by far the largest distant water fleet in the world with at least 3,000 vessels, some of which have been spotted off the coasts of Africa and as far as Ecuador. This has raised concerns of overfishing at a time when global fish stocks are plummeting. “It’s their strategy of establishing themselves as a big fishing power,” said Matti Kohonen, executive director of the FTC. “Then they end up breaking a lot of fishing laws by doing that."
https://english.alarabiya.net/features/2022/10/26/Chinese-fi...
The issue with a lot of places globally that Chinese owned fishing fleets(of highly questionable legal status) go is that they will decimate the area like a plague of locus and then just like locus they will move on once there is no longer any viable marine wildlife to catch(or even kelp / sea grass to collect). And the local governments either don't have the resources required to patrol their coastal exclusive economic zone or they intentionally don't want to antagonize China by stopping their illegal fishing fleets either because of political corruption or due to other more serious reasons.
Technically the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) can enforce Maritime law but I am not aware of them doing anything about illegal fishing fleets.

I feel like its almost obligatory to mention this xkcd "comic" when discussing password complexity.

D1lakiss is on this list from 11 months ago[Jan,2022] and it probably ranked higher because of minimum password length and complexity requirements that are actually enforced.

Number one password still in use with a total count of 4,929,113 is simply "password".

Which is why there are Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Account Management (PAM) solutions that help protect against a users own laziness.

This is from 2021 but it does show how heavily China has invested into Africa to support their Naval and Maritime shipping.

There has been some speculation that China is effectively trying to take control over Africa and has been rather successful at doing so on some fronts.

Video evidence of personal interactions is very hard to collect in Washington state because it is a "two party consent state"[1]. And people's personal behavior changes when they know they are being recorded[2][3].
I think a better solution to this is to get US Federal "Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964" updated[4] to include caste based discrimination as that will bring this issue to national attention and hopefully enable other people that are not being directly affected by this discrimination to be cognizant of it. Once enough people become aware of the problem then it will start changing the US culturally and societal accepted behaviors which is the only real way to stop this type of discrimination. Of course while dreaming of a better and brighter future I might as well add the removal of all cliques to the list as they are another form of discrimination.
