I bought a router that supports OpenWRT, and then installed AdGuard right on my router

 

I am re-arranging the shelves in an old bookcase, and I'm having trouble removing a few broken shelf pins inside the holes I want to use. They don't protrude enough for me to get any kind of grip with the needle-nose pliers that I used to take out the other pins.

The shelf pins are this style. Quarter inch diameter. Not sure what kind of metal they're made out of. The pin itself is hollow, which rules out most of the common solutions for this kind of problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to remove these?

Die-hard Bud Light fans tend to be conservative men, and Bud Light did a small promotion with a person that doesn't fit into their worldview. That vocal minority made a stink, got some press coverage, and maybe put a dent in this quarter's earnings. But most average consumers didn't care or maybe didn't even notice, and they kept buying whatever beer they usually buy.

In this case, the die-hard fans won't be up in arms. There won't be nearly as much noise to make it through to the press and therefore to average consumer. Most people won't hear about this tweet. If they do come across it, and disagree with the message, they'll probably just roll their eyes and forget about it before their next trip to the grocery store.

Another difference, some people make their favorite brand of beer a part of their identity, and treat it the way some people treat their favorite football team. I would expect there are fewer people that do the same for their favorite brand of ice cream.

Ben & Jerry's has always projected a Vermonter, hippy, psuedo-leftist image as a company (despite being owned by Unilever since 2000). This tweet is perfectly in line with that image, and the die-hard B&J fans probably won't bat an eye.
