Fasteners are standard from rotor manufacturers. I have no clue what they're made out of. But in 30 years of cycling I've never had a single Torx which would last more than one cycle of screw in screw out.

small screws in general are just easy to strip

Hexes are very sturdy. I ride mountain bikes and for some reason brake rotors are secured with Torx while all other screws are hexes. Torx on rotors are usually tightened to 4-6Nm and they are single use 99% of the time. At the same time there are plenty of hexes of the same size which are tightened to 8-10Nm and there are zero issues.

Torx are fucking useless. And don't get me started on tiny Torxes in laptops...

When you have an FPTP voting system, many people don't vote for, they vote against. Plenty will see Biden calling Zelensky a Putin, then this and... Good luck, Americans!

That person should try to eat a medieval peasant bread sometime. It was made from a coarse meal, not refined flour. It wasn't leavened. And it had zero salt inside. It also had sand in it. The taste of that shit is god awful and it destroys your teeth.
