Exactly.
Trump is what everyone who voted for him aspires to be.
A giant, petulant manbaby that's 'allowed' to bully people.
I am honestly surprised so many other Americans did not realize that so many of their fellow countrymen are vindictive, incompetent little shitheels who get off on bullying people.

This has also been my experience with non profit c suite.
I used to be co-lead of the data department for a non profit that dealt with PII... including medical data... spent a lot of time making sure we were doing things right.
... And then one day, one of the board members asked me to implement blockchain security on our postgres databases, in an in-person meeting.
I buried my head in my hands, looked uo, and told her "No, the blockchain is insanely insecure, its easily de-obfuscated... and it would make our systems run somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 times more slowly.... if its even possible to implement postgres running through or on ... some kind of blockchain."
She did a fake corpo smile and 'politely' ended the meeting.
... I wanted to strangle her to death.
Good luck finding a used one that isn't barely on its last legs from being poorly OC'd/cooled, or is just an outright brick that burned out in a crypto mining farm and is now being resold by a shell entity of a shell entity of a shell entity on Amazon or Ebay.

Kathy Lueders used to be a high up at NASA.
She personally chose to make Starship HLS variant be the thing that delivers Artemis astronauts to the lunar surface.
She also wildly misrepresented SpaceX's capabilities and rigged the 'request for proposal' process heavily in favor of SpaceX a few years later.

It's basically a comedic parody of the kind of regulatory capture process, the incestuous relationship of people jumping between the private and government sides of a public/private partnership... and its all right in the open, actually real.
This kind of shit is the actual deep state, the actual unelected, quid pro quo, 'subject matter expert' asshats that cause waste fraud and abuse.
That is fucking amazing.
Please tell me this 'cybersecurity manager' was... fired, or drawn and quartered, or something.
I didn't say these were at feature parity and frankly I don't care for half those features.
I'm fairly sure you can still set up a TS channel to automute everyone and have that act as a chatroom or chat channel, and I'm also fairly sure you can ping user groups with a pop up or TTS message for announcements, unless TS has radically changed.
You can also set up small html/xml pages per channel if you want to keep some pertinent info posted, and ping people when an update to one of those pages occurs.
There is media viewing in the client itself.
Host an image somewhere, throw it in a channel or server page description.
Yep, there's no built in, automatic, free image hosting in the chat feed or video livestreaming.
Discord is enshittifying and mtx monetized because it has massive serverside costs from hosting everything, streaming everything, and thus must seek revenue in increasingly shitty ways to pay for it.
They'll be selling all your data, introducing advertisements, monetizing even more, and moderating/censoring within a year or two of going public on the stock market.
If you want to host a teamspeak server, you pay the basically negligible cost of running your own server, and you make your own rules.
I'd say this is more like pitching a motorcycle to someone who takes the bus to work, but the busses are all getting privatized and will have their fares go up by 500% and they'll require a blood sample upon every embarkation and debarkation.
Damnit.
Yeah, ok, that would work.
Congratulations, you have invented a new spice, made of mostly microplastics and a dash of metals, a few of which can bioaccumulate and cause organ / nervous system disruption.
... I ....uh....
I dunno how you'd be able to actually accomplish that.
You could poo in multiple places over the course of a few days... but chances are the actual remnants of the sd card would come out in the same poo.
You know, apparently this is heresy in Seattle, but I'm not a big fan of Sriracha.
Its... ok?
Too sugary for me.
The Seattle Dog.
Basically, a hot dog with cream cheese and sauteed onions.
Its not as common as it once was, afaik you can only get it from street vendors in a few spots, or maybe way overpay for one at a restaurant or two.
... It is from Seattle, Washington State, USA.
My boomer uncle is a lifelong raging alcoholic.
Lived with my grandma, his mom, unemployed, for 15 ish years, as a 40ish to 50ish year old.
...Untill he threatened the neighbor with a gun, fled to the other side of the state, still living on a stipend from his mom.
Last time I talked to him was when he called me out of nowhere, saying he needed my social security number so that he could... put me in his will.
Mhm. Yep. Not like he's got charges for identity theft and fraud or anything.
Tell my family this and they gasp, no, he wouldn't do that!
