They were named after people who did some pretty unsavory things during their times in power.

Personally, I fail to see how molesting little girls could be any part of a successful business model
Doing unspeakably evil acts is part of many "successful business models." Whether it's mafia-style threats of "pay me or I will rape/kill your family," eliminate-your-competition/opponent mass-murders-and-take-their-property-as-spoils like you see in some wars ("ethnic cleansing" anyone?), or actually selling the "work product" of crimes (e.g. selling stolen goods or filming a rape and selling the photographs), there is money to be made from acts of evil.
Wait until people are dead long enough for most skeletons to come out of the closet before naming a building after someone.
640 days after death ought to be enough for most people.
China is headed that way with their renewables. Ireland is planning for renewable hydrogen production as well.
I think it will probably only end up with relatively niche uses, but it's a useful option.
Cryogenic has bee used for the ground tests, so presumably it was here too.
AI slop articles that get summarized into yet more AI slop. I doubt many humans read this stuff.
It doesn't affect text so ctrl F still works. The rest can be mitigated by supplying element sizes in the HTML.
Amazon will replace workers with robots the second it is feasible. This won't do anything to change that.
Is there any risk of being caught in the lie? Here it's possible that your employer will get at least a sense of your previous salary because they need to handle income taxes for that year.
I do it anyway and it's never backfired, but I suppose in theory...
It is illegal* to ask if candidates are married.
It is illegal* to ask if candidates have children.
It is illegal* to ask if candidates live with their parents.

Bombing people doesn't really help them.
I see Israel has started its usual tactics of destroying all the civilian infrastructure in Lebanon, in preparation for annexing part of it.
Months? They have been converting some motorway here for *years*. I think we are about 4 years in now, I lost track. It's taken so long that they started out making it a "smart motorway", realized that those things are deathtraps, and now I'm not sure what it's going to end up as.
We have had average speed cameras in kilometre after kilometre of 50 MPH stretches for many years too. Some of them seem to have been forgotten about because there hasn't been any work or cones there for years, and most people speed through at 70.
To be fair, the US didn't start the war, Israel did. Trump was just too weak to avoid getting dragged into it, and now he doesn't know how to end it.
Of course Israel doesn't want it to end, they want to keep bombing Lebanon and annexing parts of it to build their Greater Israel.
The way to stop nuclear proliferation in the Middle East is to disarm Israel. They have somewhere between 100 and 200 nukes, and multiple ways to deliver them (aircraft, missiles, submarines). They also have the "Samson Option", where if Zionism is on the brink of extinction they are threatening to launch them indiscriminately. Europe is within their range, by the way.
What really helped with smoking was first nicotine substitutes like patched, and second vaping.
While many people do regain weight when they come off these drugs, maybe in time we can find ways to prevent that, or find better drugs like this one that either keep the weight off or which they can just take forever and are cheap.
I've never been canoeing before, but I imagine there must be just a few simple heuristics you have to remember... Yes, don't fall out, and don't hit rocks.
