If somebody agrees to work for me at below minimum wage and seems enthusiastic about it, am I still exploiting them? What if I'm paying them $15/hr but no medical, 401k, or other benefits because it's under the table? Is it not exploitation, even if the person is happy to get the wage?
It seems a very different situation between legal, documented immigrants being represented by a legitimate job placement company, vs undocumented immigrants who are being paid unknown wages and have much less ability to negotiate.
Some factories run 24/7, yet individual workers do not have 24/7 shifts.
What does that have to do with unrepresented immigrant laborers? Do you think they are really getting a union level wage?
I thought the reason we spent so much time with the stupid rebels was to really make sure we knew how dumb they are. This will be so that there's no question why they screw up a mission on Ghormon. I imagine an ISB intermediary supplying them with a lot of explosives and telling them to blow up an Imperial target, but the ISB ensuring the group ends up blowing up civilians instead.
Tay laid it out to Mon: He went out on a limb to help her hide her money and activities, he feels she hasn't properly rewarded him, his existing investments have been hurt by the rebellion, and his personal life has fallen apart.
He's a loose cannon.
From his conversion with Mon in episode 2 where he talked about being undervalued and the rebels having caused damage to his investments it was instantly clear to me that he was a problem that was going to be solved.
I presume we aren't counting the people who are heads in jars? Even if they have shiny new bodies?
Stick some money in your walls. I'll get it.
Far Cry 5 strangely has very enjoyable fishing.
And yet Inside Job only got one season. The world makes no sense.
I do find it nuts that Babylon 5 got to run for five seasons. It was a new scifi franchise (meaning no pre-existing fandom) that was basically going head to head with Star Trek Deep Space 9, and it had multiple actors in major parts drop out of the show.
I like adding backdrops and bases to frame photos of minis. I've had a few but, my old red sky was small and I wanted a space backdrop and an urban base.
The new backdrops were painted in dollar store canvases with cheap acrylics.
I made the urban base out of a dollar store wood frame and random bits in a bin.
The construction was pretty slapdash. This isn't diorama quality but just enough to make photos of minis feel less empty. Similarly, the paintjob is not flashy. I avoided the urge to add colorful points of interest to the base, to make sure focus stayed on the minis.
A few examples with combinations including new backdrops. 
Sadly, I don't have a ton of information on this model. I stumbled across it on a Small Arms Illustrated page and poked around online.
The most complete information I could find was a photo of a snippet from a book:
Text from the photo:
Left side closeup of the final 7.62x39mm Finnish prototype, produced for trials in 1960, showing the unique features that it and only it embodied. This one-off was produced from a standard lower receiver with a modified magazine well, cut through the middle of the existing standard manufacturer's markings and retrofitted with a magazine guide behind the new, curved magazine.
The charging handle extension lever was reversible from the right to the left side, based on shooter preference. Note the flat-topped carrying handle, rounded at the rear to protect the rear sight, fitted with a range scale modified to fit the trajectory of the ballistically inefficient [🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸] Soviet round.
All of the remaining parts of the rifle, except for the chamber and actual bore diameter were identical to those of the standard Second Transitional carbine.
