Is there any way to restore sticky degraded rubber surfaces?

303 aerospace conditioner is what we use for raft rubber. Works for tires and a lot of plastics if they're not too far gone (needs original structure, can fix texture). To be clear though it's basically straight PFAS so if that is a concern I'd probably just try to fine a replacement part. A lot of electronics get broken cords so if you can find a busted one on eBay that's maybe the better choice.

Only for the hyper scale centralized compute llms. Real machine learning tools predate and will persist past the bubble pop, but data center cloud based llms will go the way of the dodo one way or the other. Which is a disaster for the big companies that want to sell you compute as a utility, but really totally fine for most everyone else.

You’ve been tasked with defining a new area of criminal law called “economic and financial violence,” and creating laws to prevent it. What actions would you try to criminalize?

Number too low. Unfortunately it's pretty difficult to start something like a worker owned low income housing collective or even something like a car repair shop with just a measly million. Small business would grind to a halt and big business would eat everyone's lunch.
