I'm currently using an Astro mixamp (2011 version) for my headphones but it's starting to die, I don't really know much about dacs/amps or what my options are to replace it with something better?

I mostly use my setup for gaming, with some music listening or creation here and there, and I'd like to keep the price at or below 200$

Maybe not 100% of the time but at least 80-90% of the time it's always the police, or DA failing to do their job properly. If you're pending a felony trial you cannot own/buy guns until you're proven innocent, and they should be confiscated. I cannot imagine how this man would not be chargeable.

Similar goes for many shootings, they plea down to a lesser charge or the cops just don't do their job and let go obvious crimes.

I haven't looked into them, but I'd bet they're just in a both mature and oversaturated market. There's not much they can do to gain new people, everyone knows what Netflix is across all first world markets and a corpo won't care about the others.

Here's what I've done when attempting at my workplace via the postal workers union.

Get in contact with an organizer, they are there to help guide you or who ever wants to be the main leader of this effort. I will say, as the lead organizer in my attempt, it's just talking a lot, and getting people to a meeting, it kinda sucks but isn't a huge ordeal to do, and takes maybe 2 hours in a busy week.

I went through the AFL-CIO website aflcio.org/formaunion and filled out my information, during my major attempt it took half a week to get in contact with an organizer, though it could take a bit longer.

You'll get in contact with an organizer and they'll get a rundown of your workplace and what it looks like.

After that there's about an hour's worth of training to know your rights and what works for your union.

Then you'll be pretty much ready to go to start talking with coworkers to try and get an organizing committee (10% of your workplace) which will be your main coworkers who should be all about the idea, after that 10% then you'll start convincing everyone in your workplace and soon after that collect signatures.

Then you'll go to an election, sadly I do not have much information to get beyond here as the movement fell apart in my workplace during signatures due to a weak organizing committee.

Hope this helps ya out and if you want any additional information I'm happy to share, we need more unions especially in IT!

Love that most of the world's governments came together and said "collective punishment is bad, we should make it illegal during times of war" and shit like this can still fly within any first world country.

Imma say it, he's kinda based, evades taxes and "illegally" owns guns, free my boy.

To be fair, Austin has to be not far behind LA as some of the worst. Everything in Texas is made for cars only basically.

Don't forget for trying to form a union too!

There's plenty of 2010-2015ish cars with dogshit radios that are hard to find, expensive to get or literally impossible to find good replacements for, thanks to vehicle manufacturers killing of the DIN system.

If they're willing to make sacrifices why not ~1-2 hours a week dedicated to unionizing their workplace

Hope this is what he wanted

This isn't a trump 5d chess thing or whatever but it might honestly be the smarter move for him to just keep riling up his base and make it a guarantee riot if he gets jailed.

Seems pretty likely he's fucked legally so he's put in a situation that breaking law and order is probably his best move.
