So what's "space" expanding into?

It's not. You are inside a universe that is finite but has no boundary, no edge. It is expanding - that is - the distances between everything inside that universe are increasing. In two dimensions it is easier to imagine. For example, the earth has a surface that is finite but has no edge.*

*Unless you are a flat earther, in which case, please disregard the above.

We need to trust the jury system to be the best way to determine guilt. They aren't always right, but they are almost always right. When you watch a television show afterwards, you are going to be fed a narrative that may or may not match the evidence presented at trial. They may show you other evidence. Some of that evidence may or may not be reliable and, in any event, it will be edited to fit the narrative that the show's producer wants to put forward.

I learned a long time ago not to try to save money on tools. If it is worth having a welder, it is worth having a good one. This recommendation is for a very good one but whether you need a welder like this depends on what you envision yourself making/repairing with it. Will it get a lot of use? What thickness metal do you need/want to weld? Will you be using it outside, inside a shop, both? Are you wired for 240 and, if not, are you willing to wire a 60 amp, 240 volt outlet for a welder? Do you want to fool with gas bottles? Do you need to haul it around and fix things on a farm? Do you want a particular process, i.e., Mig, Tig, Stick?

Nobody can really tell you what kind of welder you need without knowing these things and you will most likely buy the wrong one if you don't answer those questions for yourself.

All that said, a good quality, multi-process welder like that Esab isn't cheap. But it also retains a good resale value if you take care of it and you can take it (or a Lincoln or Miller) to your local welding supply store for a repair if anything goes wrong. Check with Harbor Freight to see what to do with a three-year-old welder that quits working (and let us know, because their welders look like a good deal). If you aren't sure about welding and are really just experimenting, a Hobart 140 mig welder is good choice that will work with a 120 outlet and let you stick together up to 3/16" steel.

You'll just need a little black square stamp to make the QR code useless.

There is an app called "Calls Blacklist" that has a setting that blocks all calls from numbers that are not in your address book and any that you whitelist. If you can deal with that, it is excellent. It will also let you blacklist individual numbers although I find that to be a useless feature. My phone, or AT&T (I don't know which) block most, but not all, spam calls.

Not a keyboard shortcut but you type in "shell:appsfolder" in top bar in windows file explorer it will show all of your apps and a right click will let you uninstall any of them among other things.

I've had a cervical spine surgery that makes side require a particular height for my pillow. This is the one that I have used for about 10 years. I love it.

It works to deter squirrels. But add just a little vegetable/safflower/canola oil to the seeds first so the cayenne will stick to the seeds. Just mix into the seeds you are putting out and not the whole bag.

It's a contract of employment. Does anyone who offfers someone else a better job risk such a claim? Also, are you breaching an employment contract if you quit?

I don't know the answer, and it's an interesting question, but I'm guessing that employment contracts are going to fall under a different analysis for tortious interference claims.
