How does the US benefit? Russia had already shut down the pipeline and proven to be unreliable partner, and facing heavy sanctions. It's not like the US needed the pipeline destroyed in order to be in the position to supply LNG to Euro

It definitely still happens because I received a follow up in the mail after a purchase on amazon, more than once, in just the past few weeks offering a gift card for a good review. I would argue that paying for reviews is inherently dishon

No one I work with uses this in the office. I am the only one and they complain that my screen "hurts their eyes" because of its orange hue. I would not be so quick to dismiss the effects of staring into light bulbs for 8-12 hour
