I have been high on this kind of hopium several times since the first nomination in 2016.

However, as a person of only somewhat higher than average intellectual ability, it's never lasted longer than a few hours

Well, okay I will admit to nearly a week after the last election when I belive-hoped that the Biden admin must be working on some smoking gun election manipulation that would come out and day to save us all.

Did the majority (600ish, as a guess) of those fired actually vote for their own firing?

Given VA demographics and hiring practices, there's a good chance that's the case.

LOL

Also a shoutout to joker. Been there for 20(ish?) years. Never an issue.

Old- looking UI which i actually appreciate

You can also very easily register as a reseller for less expensive renewals.

Old Soviet/Russian doctrine is to always play both (or all) sides of a conflict

Could Elmo be prosecuted for being an illegal immigrant.

This is the kind of DOJ weaponization I can get behind

Here’s an early 1970s portable terminal with fantastic looks, which might be rightfully called the “Polaroid SX-70” of terminals. Sadly, I wasn’t able to put a date to this. The artifact in question (sadly not mine) is the ADDS Envoy Traveling Terminal 600. The Envoy 620, which is also pretty stunning (see below) was introduced in June 1972. (Since this is looking a bit early, it may be 1970/71.)

The ADDS Envoy 600, a sales brochure (PDF) can be found at archive.org 19.

And here’s the ADDS Envoy 620:

For more info and images see https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/ADDS_Envoy_620 38 and http://jimsoldtoys.blogspot.com/2016/05/adds-envoy-portable-terminal.html 16 on the similar ADDS Envoy 580.

terminals-wiki.org 2 writes on the company history:

“Applied Digital Data Systems, or simply ADDS, was a manufacturer of high-quality video terminals. In March, 1979, ADDS had delivered 100,000 CRT terminals. In 1980, ADDS became a wholly owned subsidiary of NCR. In 1991, ADDS become part of AT&T when AT&T purchased NCR. In 1994, AT&T sold ADDS to SunRiver Data Systems. In 1996, the company was renamed to Boundless Technology.”

P.S.: A nice source found in one of these pages, providing a comprehensive overview of 1970s terminals, is the “Handbook of interactive computer terminals” by Duane E. Sharp, 1977, available as a PDF at https://archive.org/details/handbookofintera00duan 19.
