You can set up a caching dns server on a pi at home with very little effort.

Which rarely, if ever, happens. Especially with US software.

And just try to get regular people to use email encryption. Yes, it could be signed to show that it hasn’t been altered, but then most users can’t even figure out where a file has been saved.
So they use faxes.

Here (not US) they’ve tried implementing a dedicated “secure email platform” for medical professionals so that they can exchange patient data. It’s both progress and kind of idiotic, but it’s not very widely used (because now, they have yet another email address to manage, on top of the six they already have to use).

You’d expect the zoo staff to be fairly aware of the state their animals are in. They usually have vets coming in to check on every critter regularly.

Exactly. All they had to do was buy a couple of earplugs. And they call themselves professionals… Hah.

Don’t get them going about their crazy units!

Just the death penalty? Not burned at the stake or hung and quartered?

The trumpist crowd is much nicer than expected.

See? Things aren’t so bad.

He criticized Trump’s approach to foreign policy, suggesting Trump would be inclined to “capitulate” to authoritarian leaders, which may not sit well with some Republicans.

Don’t they even know who they picked to represent them?

Probably to have a short quotable one liner that’s vaguely understandable by the general public (and that, as often, is false).

The correct parallel is the Weimar Republic in the early 1930s.

Or Mordor…

archive.org is hosted in the US and could end up being a valid target. It doesn’t strike me as being a very good place to securely store anything nowadays. I’d consider anything hosted in the US to be out.

At this point, the dong is almost more likely than the yen (and would at least amuse USteenagers).

The yuan would be possible.

I kind of understand why they want to get rid of elections. It feels a bit futile with this crowd.

Or “overhead”, to use a technical term.

That sneaky bastard!

You mean they didn’t write a 900 page manifesto for the lulz?

One of the few left.

I’d add that the fact that the democrat candidate was a woman probably lost her a lot of votes. Which is quite sad nowadays, but I’m sure it was a factor.

See? Russia doesn’t lie all the time.

Summary:

There will be lots of winded and inspired speeches. Nothing will happen, Europe will stay divided while each country seeks advantages on its own for petty short term gains. The populists will continue to gain footholds, and to conquer lands.
