He hates it because Biden is supposed to be the worst president in the history of ever and Biden signed the CHIPS act so therefore it must be bad because Biden is bad. It's not more complicated than that.

Coincidentally, Trump has also never made par on his course.

I mean when the recession hits he's just going to blame Biden anyway. It doesn't matter what he says now or how many experts say that the tariffs are the cause, line go down? Biden's fault. Things get more expensive? Biden's fault. Unemployment goes up? Believe it or not, Biden's fault.

He stood on stage with gobs of horse shit flying from his mouth at record pace and media outlets are like "based on the smell of this shit, we think this is where it came from".

Oh gods, I had forgotten what a pain in the ass that setup was and how it would just randomly stop working when they changed something on their side.

Considering TASS was among the few outlets allowed to attend, I think this was a performance for an audience of one.

I work with Teams as an admin.

  1. Teams is a resource hog.
  2. Under the hood it appears to be a mess.
  3. The user workflow aggressively tries to prevent users from multitasking, despite many jobs requiring this.
  4. Product design is a shining example of the greater Microsoft philosophy of forcing customers to adapt their business to Microsoft's technology instead of having technology flexible enough to adapt to a customer's business needs.
  5. From an admin standpoint it has numerous questionable design decisions surrounding UC. For example, you can register non-Teams SIP phones to it, but you can't see the IP addresses of these registered devices(?!). In general, from a telephony standpoint, Teams is good at providing dial tone and some very basic telephony features, enough to make senior leadership think that it does everything, but if you need UC functionality for more than users who sit at a desk all day it falls apart quickly.
  6. My conversations with representatives from the product team at Microsoft suggests they are out of touch with how businesses use telephones.

Bottoms are some of the strongest men I know. Elon and Trump are caricatures of strength.

I think in Texas it would be criminally negligent homicide, but I doubt the conservative justice system there will punish anyone for intentionally not preventing a deadly disease.

They would rather sit there and do nothing in the belief that voters will be scared into giving them money if only things get bad enough. The corrupt Democrat leadership and their parasitic consultants are just as villainous as the GOP. Completely out of touch and so afraid of challenges from progressives that they are willing to let the nation fall into autocracy.

I had an Atari 800XL as my first PC with 2 5.25'' floppy drives and a cartridge slot for which I had only 2 games: Pengo and Galaxian. On the floppy drive I was able to play a ton of games including Ultima 4, which really got me into fantasy RPGs.

What would be the purpose of US support in Europe if not defending against Russia?

The US presence in Europe exists to facilitate US power projection, if we are not stopping Russian advancement then there is no reason for host countries to allow US bases in their territory.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
