So is it Copper or sulfate?

The main reason you seem to have been down voted soo much is because you said that Dejoy was the cause of the recent improvements in the postal system. While he was over the USPS during the changes, it's pretty obvious that he's not the reason for them. $22hr is decent, but it really does depend on where you live, and they do have deliver a lot of packages, so it's not an amazingly cushy job (I think a UPS driver is paid like ~$30hr in my area, although you could argue they are moving more packages on avg).

Is that based on current occupancy, or if there was room already does adding an object add it to the que of things that auto fill?

He tried to get them to mainly use gas powered hybrid ones. Which sounds great on the surface, but they basically got the same mpg as the now at least 30 year old LLVs they were replacing, just with AC. When that fact was put out, these fully electric ones genuinely just made way more sense for most postal routes. They took a long time to develop, but that's because the usps had a long list of stuff they wanted to accommodate (sounds crazy, but they seem to have actually taken a lot of feedback from the drivers).

He also got rid of a lot of the automated letter sorting, most likely to slow mail-in voting. A lot of those sorter couldn't easily be replaced, as they were expensive machines.

Looks like someone at nhtsa watches Fortnine, seems to line up with what they were suggesting.

It's always the ones you most suspect.

Still running a Samsung note 8, probably the biggest thing I dislike is kinda wish it was a little smaller. It might fit in my pocket better, would probably be easier to hold, and I would be fine having other devices for stuff where I need a bigger screen. Not a huge deal, but I do kinda miss having a medium sized smartphone.

Dang, up a percent in a year? That actually is pretty notable for Linux. I know it's gotten easier to install and use (easier distros), but could this be more a shift to mobile over windows or macos?

Yeah, but when you are doing that you are basically just comparing to what it can't be. This would be looking at any possible way to design a mechanism to (for instance) turn a semi auto to a full auto, which is to say having something that can independently look at stuff, automatically redesign them in all of the unexpected ways, and ban those from ever being printed.

Yep. Plus, what measures would be required to defeat basic printer blocks? Could it defect differences in tolerance? What if you redesigned an internal part to make the overall print slightly different? It an endless task that doesn't seem like it will be very useful for anything other than random surveillance.

I recently took a trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway, and I got something I though y'all might enjoy along the way!
