While I can't go into detail for obvious reasons, as someone who has a family member who has worked at Benchmark for so long that they remember when Benchmark's top customers were companies who made medical supplies to save people's lives, and is now starting to regret working there, they keep telling me all about how Benchmark has been heavily investing in AI data center companies to build their PCBs over the last few years to the point that those same AI data center companies are now Benchmark's largest customers. So avoid that company, at least for the near future if you are one of the decent people who hate what data centers are doing to the environment and/or how they are causing everyone's energy bills to skyrocket.

TL;DR Benchmark should be avoided for how much they are investing in AI data centers these last few years. At least, according to my family member who has worked there for a little over a decade.

I recently got pulled over for going *slightly more than* 5 MPH over the speed limit by Dahl, and the cop who pulled me over told me *to my face* that I was "acting suspicious" just because I wasn't looking him in the eyes and staring at the ground. I'm autistic. Cops everywhere need better training or something because if they are terrible at handling mentally challenged people here, then it's definitely a widespread problem throughout the country.

TL;DR F*ck the police and ACAB. Anyone who disagrees is willingly incompetent, especially nowadays.

Edit: To add, he even told me I was "swerving into the median lane," but I was only doing that because it was about 2 in the morning, and I was seeing a random car creep closer and closer to my bumper, past the Huff Street intersection, despite me only going about 59 mph in a 55 mph speed limit. That cop was giving me anxiety with how he was tailing me, and if I was swerving, it was entirely his fault. He had me leave my car for mainly that reason, and that's why I was looking at the ground. Sure, I've had my fair share of speeding tickets, but him having me leave my car and checking my pulse was entirely new to me.
