Al Davis

Davis was active in civil rights, refusing to allow the Raiders to play in any city where black and white players had to stay in separate hotels.[3][4][5] He was the first NFL owner in the modern era to hire a black head coach (Art Shell),[6][7] the first to hire a female chief executive (Amy Trask),[8] and the first NFL owner to hire a Latino head coach (Tom Flores).[9] He remains the only executive in NFL history to be an assistant coach, head coach, general manager, commissioner, and owner.[10][11][12]

Apparently his father was a pretty cool guy, advocated for civil rights by refusing to play in cities with segregation.

I think we can all agree aesthetics are subjective. The down votes are likely for saying anything positive about something related to Musk (or just folks who disagree). Which, to your point, would be an interesting experiment: put one in front of people who don't know who made it and see what they think.

Reminded me of the lady who intentionally blinded herself with drain cleaner in the early 2000s. Although I'm sure there was more going on there...

Count me in! Switched to Linux Mint for my DD last month.

Only thing I'm missing is a very dead simple 3D modeling replacement for the Windows one (the others have a steep learning curve). I'll have to find a browser based option...

Would you like to know more?

I had heard that's the point, to a degree, or at least to help people with a drinking problem not feel ostracized while out with friends.

Typically a judge will thank the jurors for their service, and I find the time dedicated to that and the words that honor that service pretty awesome. These jurors truly deserve that respect considering the fear they must have to deal with if someone ever spills their names.
