I put this together for a friend who wanted a lower-end gaming PC, but it's still pretty much what I'd recommend (though you'd definitely want to double the RAM to 32gb): https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/pd/35088251

Points to note: -I'm not sure if your $1000 budget was meant to include a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, so this coming in around $700 leaves you a little room -I would probably want to upgrade the CPU if budget permits: another $130 will get you an 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X, which will be helpful for running multiple containers -A GTX 1650 Super is way faster than a regular GTX 1650, the difference that $10-20 makes is surprisingly massive -NVMe SSDs are great, and the Intel 660p is a nice bargain choice. I'd likely step up to the 1TB version for another $60

This looks pretty nice. I've been using Recent Bookmarks (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps?hl=en), but it's not exactly helping the bookmark proliferation problem.
FLSA is an interestingly-outdated animal. Basically anyone in a white-collar job gets an "executive" exemption. See: anyone working in financial services.

Meanwhile, in areas like retail, workers' lives are notoriously made difficult by unpredictable and arbitrary scheduling. So you're a part-time salesperson at Best Buy? Here's the 21 total hours you'll be working next week, spread out over 7 days because we need to cover little gaps here and there.

For better or worse, worker protection in the US is an illusion.
