@TurnerNovak The numbers are inflated and include things that are a stretch to call an accelerator centre (just in case)

@myfirstmilpod @LexiconBranding Pronounceable (no need to spell) and memorable (surprising is a way to be memorable); this is how I arrived at SadServers vs many other boring names 😀
