Massive errors in FBI’s Active Shooting Reports from 2014-2022 regarding cases where civilians stop attacks: Instead of 4.6%, the correct number is at least 35.7%. In 2022, it is at least 41.3%

Do you think Taco Bell is representative of actual Mexican food? Blaming Taco Bell isn't racist, its blaming shit tier food
Those 100 corporations make materials that everyone else uses (mostly O&G) and the consumption and use of those materials (by we the consumers) is responsible for 71% of GHG emissions.It's not just 100 companies burning coal for funsies
Be careful, you're wandering awfully close to eco-facist talking points
I lived there and made $90k a year. Lived like 50 minutes from work, still paid $2.5k per month for a 500sqft studio and qualified as low income for the area. If people making that much are considered low income, something has failed.
My first day visiting Albuquerque, I was in pizza parlor picking up an order, and the news was on a TV nearby. They were covering the arrest of this cracked out looking couple. The lady behind the counter then explained to me that it was a big local story because those two had tortured and murdered their daughter. Its also the cartheftt capital.
I haven't been back.
The problem with this is entropy. Heat dissipated to the environment is highly entropic (more disorganized, less useful heat/energy), and to effectively extract it, you'd need to reduce the entropy, which requires more energy that you would get from the heat you recovered.
Is this a shitpost? Some new copypasta I haven't seen before?
This is such an unapproachable take. Saying things like this really doesn't do anything to help, even if you believe it's true.
Being able to run video games or other hardware intensive process would either require pricey hardware or they'd be streamed from a cloud service (which comes with a whole other bundle of issues to consider) as that computational power has to come from something physical somewhere. Offloading your OS to the cloud wouldn't affect that. PCs can already be accessed by phone if you have the right set up (dedicated IP hosting and a VPN) As for saving data in case of emergencies, we already have cloud based storage solutions that wouldn't be impacted by cloud based OS.
There is 0 reason to use a cloud based OS other than making sure people are tied to your service for the life of their computer. This feels like a solution to a problem no one has.

I've lived in a range of population centers, from mid sized towns of about 30k, to cities in the millions, and now in a small town of 5k spread through the entire valley. Its different strokes for different folks. The city was nice with lots of things to keep me occupied, but I could barley afford to do anything because my tiny apt cost 2.5k a month. Cities would be great if the CoL was addressed. Smaller towns on the other hand offer me plent of unspoiled nature to explore and a tighter knit sense of community while allowing me to live comfortably.
Each has its benefits and generalizing one side or the other doesn't do it justice.
Yes, as long as that service is "creative" or "artistic" in nature
I use GigaRapid, andnive got no complaints so far. Good speeds, wish I had more storage space, but a lot of their options were sold out when I signed up
Patents are incredibly important for R&D as without them, there is no protection of IP
Be prepared. I love Enderal but it is unforgiving. Not to say it's bad, but it's following a different design ethos than Bethesda's Elder Scrolls.
Also prepare for an emotional roller coaster
You can't patent things that aren't a process or a product, so no you can't patent genes.
Patents take quite a bit of effort to write up if you really want to protect your intellectual property, and their scope is pretty narrow. The patent holder can also license with interested parties if they want.
Someone has never used any function more complex than =sum() in excel...
Beloved, his character arc has been interesting to watch
This comment betrays a lack of understanding around 3d printed firearms.
Of course there are your (nearly) fully plastic single shots like the Harlot that fire small calibers and dont always last long.
On the other hand, there's plastic lowers (the only part considered a firearm and thus the onlynpart that needs to be bought through an FFL) for AR15s that use off the shelf plumbing supplies for the pressure bearing components.
The files are readily available and able to be printed on low end FDM printers with little adjustment and troubleshooting completely bypassing the need to purchase a firearm from a dealer.
And capital expenditure isn't necessarily an expense in the accounting sense. CapEx comes from previous profit
48k is the number for the US. However, over 50% of that number is from suicides
Never let an authoritarian tell you you should rely on the state for personal defense.
Wow its good this article isn't talking about speech like that
Agree to disagree I guess. I think protecting ideas is an important safeguard that encourages people to take the risk of investing in research.
I'd love to try TL. I'm in another private tracker, but it isn't great if I'm being honest.
So wait, youre not BIPOC and yet you're still gonna speak for them and tell other people not to ask them for opinions?
Oof
Episcopalians, despite often being called the Republican party at prayer, often lean pretty left actually.
FM08, different mountains. Glad to see there's some hams on here though!
My go to when I'm feeling burned out is something with a small, self contained narrative. Something I can pick up and be done with in like 10 hours of total time. Pretty much anything published by Annapurna has immediately captured me. As a suggestion, I'd say give Outer Wilds a try (not Outer Worlds, the RPG from Obsidian though).
Australians now own more guns collectively than they did prior to Port Arthur just FYI, and their buyback only got about 1.2 million of the estimated 3.2 million guns in circulation at the time.
I'm into ham radio, tabletop gaming, 3d printing, and tech
I live in a rural mountain area, so I also get tons of outdoor time on the mountains and in the rivers.
What kind of outdoor adventures do you like?
He reactivated the Florida State Guard. The samekingd of State Guard utilized by like 22 other states including California and New York. The FSG was created way before DeSantis came to office.
I moved to VA and took basically the same job. I technically make less that I did in CA, but here I can actually own a home and save. California needs to do something about their CoL crisis.
I'm reliant on the state for defence on a larger scale, but in our personal lives, the state can do little to defend us from other individuals in a timely manner. That is why I believe everyone that is able to should be responsible for their own personal defence.
I've no desire to injerect in others lives, but I do have a desire to protect myself and my family where the state cannot or will not.
Everyone comfortable with and able to be responsible for their own protection should take that responsibility. We should not be forced to rely on police who consistently prove they dont give a shit about us.
A disarmed society is not a free society, its completely reliant on the state for personal defence, when that responsibility should rest with the individual.
So if I don't have an internet connection, I can't even boot my computer?
