A law firm capable of handling such a suit would probably bill at a rate of $2000/hr, or more.

If your numbers are right, then they could afford to pay for 20 hours of work. That's probably not enough to even file the suit. Again, this assumes your numbers are right but even if they were 10x this it may still not make sense to file a suit.

Unfortunately, I don't think the math works out in their favor.

Yes, orange oil is a solvent. It has other uses as a natural solvent and it smells great! Handy to have around the house regardless.

In my experience, tung oil can take up to a month to fully cure.

If you used pure tung oil, then it will likely take that long. Cutting it with orange oil can help a bit next time.

The only thing you can do now to speed it up is to keep it somewhere warm. However, it has probably cured enough that you could start using it now. Just give it another wipe down.

There are fundamental differences between allowing minors to access health care that they require in a timely manner and letting a 19 year old rent a car.

Healthcare should be a right afforded to all people. Privileges are not rights and it is perfectly reasonable to restrict them based on age.

I don't hate you for your opinion, but I do think you are misinformed on the subject.

Yep, you're right. Had the 2 on the wrong side. Fixing.

It is either a ~~30~~ 60 or ~~60~~ 120 Hz flicker, depending on how they built the electronics. It is ~~30~~ 60 Hz if they didn't include an inverter and ~~60~~ 120 Hz if they did.

Without an inverter, it will be off for 50% of the time. With an inverter, it will always be on, but sometimes dim.

With better electronics, it will be steady on, but that's not common in christmas lights.

What show? Was it good?

While I too want more people to participate, I think we should also recognize that choosing not to vote is protected speech. That's probably not why people don't vote, so we should probably find other ways to encourage voting (holiday, more access to polls, etc.) Unfortunately, some repulsive people prefer it when fewer people vote.

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.
