Should also probably include some recommendations for less expensive routers that can use OpenWrt along with this? Mine cost me $300... I don't regret it because I have found at least that much utility in it, from this and from finally being able to intercept my smart TV's hardcoded DNS requests and blocking the ads, but I'm pretty sure that there are better deals to be had that don't involve paying $300 for one of the radios to not work due to bad driver support.

Bias is important for credibility of a source, but not for the validity of the argument presented, and for the latter you actually have to understand and think about the argument presented.

The most important part of that page is its argument that all states wield authority and tend to tighten or relax the exercise of that authority in order to serve a given set of class interests. There's nothing in this that relies on credibility, and dismissing it on account of bias makes as much sense as responding to someone in a debate by saying "you're biased, so why should I believe you?".

I did some quick wolfram alpha calculations, assuming an average distribution of stars (false, since there are varying densities inside the arms and more density in the core), there actually should be one about every 0.9 square lightyears. A lot better than I expected. But I've played enough Elite: Dangerous to know that stellar density near the core is significantly higher to the point where it is DEFINITELY throwing these calculations off.
