Factorio, it's fun from the first minute but you'll still be learning new things after 1000 hours.

Give all of those things a try. None of them are "wrong". Experiment and see what works best with the type of people you want to spend time with. Just don't get discouraged if your success rate is low (some people just won't be interested) and respect people's decisions if they choose to ignore you.

Representatives are elected for 2 year terms.

No issues for me.

Since it sounds like you are just getting into this, it may be helpful to know that Nintendo has confirmed that there will be a 2nd version of the device and it is likely to have full backwards compatibility (meaning it will play all of the games from version 1).

The release dates for this device are likely to be announced soon.

So if you can wait, you could either get the newest version or you could get the current version for a big discount.

Specifically voting yes on that question.

You may have seen many restaurants putting out signs saying to vote no. That was done by management and front of house staff because they don't want to pay their employees at the minimum wage and they don't want to share their tips with back of the house staff (who also deserve the tips as much as FOH).

Canned beans: Healthy, filling, cheap, and convenient

Beans, broth, and salt wouldn't be amazing, but it could get you through a few meals. Add some black pepper and it might actually be pretty good.

Add carrots (frozen or fresh), onion, celery to step it up a notch.

2 x 10^34 for those people who like to use numbers to represent numbers in a sane way.

It's a bad headline, means negative for the day.

Although commodity futures can go negative in unusual situations. During the pandemic, oil prices went negative because demand was low and production was still high, so the cost of storing it was driving the price down. The fact that it went negative was mostly due to speculators though.

Don't over think the finish if this is just a functional piece.

Get a can of wipe on, water based polyurethane (any big box store). You could also prime and paint it (just like a wall). Either way, be aware of the fumes, so work in the garage if you can.

For a face frame, you could just use some strips of clear pine, about 1" wide, 1/2" thick each. Glue and nail the wide face onto the edge of the plywood all around the front (keeping the top edge flush to the top surface of the shelf).

I can't tell if it is finished or not, but it looks like it will hold shoes or boots. If that's the plan, then you'll definitely want some sort of protection on it. Even a coat of fast drying polyurethane will help it last longer and be easier to clean.

You might also throw on a face frame, which would help prevent the front edge from sagging over time.

You should be able to select the version of the game that you want. Right click, manage,... ??? I forgot the rest but it's fairly obvious from what I remember. You can just pick the most stable build of 1.## from the drop down.
