I personally prefer target practice with them. I used to hunt my own meat though (still took it to a butcher for the tedious part of it.) If someone is threatening my life or my family's lives, then I don't intend on using it in a soft or touching manner. This has happened a few times, twice with friends, we pulled our guns out and the armed robbers ran off so no bullets had to get exchanged thankfully. But had we not had them, we would have just had to give up our wallets or die I guess shrug. One time one of them did chase one of our friends down and curb-stomped his teeth/face to death.. we found him and rushed to the ER. I still have pictures of his bloody face and broken teeth from that wonderful event. He was the only one without a firearm at the time unfortunately.

A lot of their chips are fab'd in the US and Israel and Germany and others though. It's weird that nobody has mentioned all their US fabs. The new ones coming up in Ohio shortly (construction has been going already) will be two next-gen fab plants.

Does Intel make its main CPUs in China for those high tariffs?

Looked it up and found this info at least:

Key US Locations:

Arizona (Fab 52 and 62), New Mexico (Fab 9 and 11x), and Oregon (Hillsboro) are major Intel manufacturing hubs in the US, with the new Fab 42 and 32 also being part of a larger campus in Arizona. Ohio is also a major site with construction well underway for two new leading-edge chip factories.

Global Footprint:

Intel also has manufacturing facilities in locations like Israel (Jerusalem, Kiryat Gat) and Ireland (Leixlip).

Expansion and Future:

Intel is actively expanding its global network with new fabs in Ohio, Germany, and other locations, according to Intel Newsroom and plans to make the German fab one of the most advanced in the world.

Automatics and other weapons and explosives already require heavy tax stamps and long approval processes. I've also needed a weapon multiple times in my life in multiple states. I suppose people who live in a sheltered utopia may never need one but I certainly have, along with many people I've known including my father. Wildlife, humans, wild dogs even in cities (pepper spray isn't a guaranteed deterrent, but I go for switchblade first with sidearm as backup), etc.

Anything but the people who use the guns in a violent manner.

The problem with red flag laws in some jurisdictions are false accusations.

Even before getting into constitutionality there are these issues:

1. Due Process Concerns:

• Lack of Opportunity to be Heard: Red flag laws often allow for temporary confiscation of firearms without the individual being present in court or having an opportunity to present their case.

• Ex Parte Proceedings: Some red flag laws allow for hearings to be conducted without the individual's presence, raising concerns about fairness and due process.

• Inadequate Legal Representation: There are concerns about whether individuals facing red flag petitions receive adequate legal representation, particularly if they cannot afford a lawyer.

2. Potential for Misuse and Abuse:

• Subjectivity in Defining "Risk": The definition of what constitutes a dangerous individual or a threat can be subjective, potentially leading to the misuse of red flag laws.

• Misapplication to Lawful Gun Owners: Some worry that red flag laws could be used against individuals who are not actually dangerous or who are not a risk to themselves or others.

• Risk of Escalation: Some fear that law enforcement actions under red flag laws could escalate tense situations, potentially leading to confrontations.

But for the sake of completeness:

Infringement on Gun Rights: Critics argue that red flag laws infringe on the Second Amendment right to bear arms, even if the gun is temporarily removed.

Violation of Property Rights: The temporary seizure of firearms raises questions about whether red flag laws violate an individual's right to own property.

Potential for Discrimination: There are concerns that red flag laws could be used to target certain groups or individuals based on stereotypes or biases.

That would be pretty nice. Our plates are expensive over here (US) so we just put a new tiny year sticker on each time and keep the plates for a long time.

That's wild, I would not be able to keep up with trends in the industry I work in as much if I isolated myself from everyone. But happy it works for you.

I just used that for export, but I have yet to try import on it. But I'm assuming it works well, it has good reviews as far as I remember.

I'm genuinely curious here: what makes this an incel meme?

Ren from Ren and Stimpy?

This is one small example, but I get notifications on developer livestreams for new models and new API updates and feature releases. The OpenAI sub itself is not only too many hours late in publishing any of them, but it's also only a fraction of the updates coming directly from the company itself. This extends to many other orgs and people I follow.

I'm a developer so I like to have quick access to new info to many frameworks and languages (and other lead devs that post updates.)
