Build an organizing committee first. Use a small agitation that is not about unionization to figure out who you want for the OC.

Do not let management know you are trying to unionize until at least 3 people have your back.

I need to see Italians with deep (and silly) beliefs about authenticity react to this. I once worked with an Italian that got very angry about American pizza. Pizza with tomatoes didn't even exist until nearly 1900 and wasn't popular in Italy until it was already popular in the US.

Perfect your pasta soup recipe, comrade.

Jk OneDrive is terrible and it's not your fault for expecting it to do the only thing it is supposedly good for. Sounds like everyone was understanding so it is all good! And your boss is on board, so everything considered that's a pretty good work situation.

The title is actually true. The Chinese diaspora in the US preceded the Italian by decades. While the Chinese diaspora faced segregation and then mass deportation, Americanized versions of its food - and basically just enough people to run the restaurants - remained. At first, Italian food was considered exotic and vulgar by white Americans, a category that did not include Italians.

The negative effects of this are the axe constantly held over those countries via US "aid". All it takes is the stroke of a pen to starve large populations. Better not step out of line.

If there is any silver lining I hope that countries can become morr food sovereign from this. I hope that they will receive multipolar aid to bridge them to food sovereignty.

That's awful. I hate roaches.

Since this is the room you sleep in, be careful about using sprays, borax, and diatomaceous earth there. All of those things are also bad for you if yoi breathe them in. So you would want to apply them, open a window, and leave thw room for a while. And diatomaceous earth creates dust that is not great for you, so set up an air filter and vacuum + reapply regularly if you use it.

If the entire unit starts doing something about the roaches, then you'll want to make your place inhospitable and hard to get to for roaches. All food secured in glass or hard plastic. Water sources plugged up when not in use. Clean and vacuum every day. No crumbs! Treat the area by the refrigerator condenser (in the back) with roach killer. And seal up little cracks everywhere, especially under doors.

Hell yeah bicycles are great.

I definitely recommending getting a tune-up or, if you are a nerd like me, some basic tools to do it yourself. Make sure that thing is safe! Bicycle co-ops will often offer free or reduced cost tune-ups and have cool people to talk to.

What kind of saddle is it? Saddles are a personal preference thing but some are still better than others.

Aluminum cranks are really common and should be okay as a material. I would guess that that particular one is old and/or busted assuming it isn't the pedal. Replacing a crank requires a special tool called a crank puller so you might be able to get this all done in one go going to a co-op. That would also be a good opportunity to see how the bottom brackey is doing because bottom brackets can be a nightmare to remove if you don't have penetrating oil and a huge wrench in addition to the special tool for bottom brackets.
