Yes and no. The problem pattern of ammunition production follows defense contracts: buy enough for stock, then don’t buy anymore. The industry is not configured for steady production.

Now we’re using a steady number but don’t have steady production to replenish stocks, but it seems like more of a production or industry configuration issue than a usage issue.

It’s also part of the reason weapons are so expensive: there’s no steady market to support steady production

Arguably had to. For too many years Misguided us policies prevented exporting software with useful encryption, arguably blocked it entirely from opensource. Among the consequences was an encryption industry n Israel suitable for opensource

People think the current us administration is doing a lot of awful things to a lot of people buts it’s worse that they hold themselves above the law to do it, above the limits of their power, above the checks and balances that usually prevent authoritarianism

Among the many bad stereotypes of royalty is the blatant nepotism, self-enrichment, and total disregard for their constituents. Somehow they have no shame in accepting bribes, do not even try to hide it, and no shame using their authority to establish business “deals@ for family and friends

Huh, and here I am thinking I’m dumb because it’s such a struggle getting the ai to produce usable code.

I mean. It clearly helps in some well defined areas, but actual code? like for a feature? Of a product you expect people to pay for? And you have to maintain?

Both sides the same. Someone always breaks in that both sides are the same. Then we all waste our time arguing the obvious

Karma could be a grind to make old-timers appear influential even when they just lurk

That may be true and is certainly a well known concern …. Yet given the US government’s recent history, I have a hard time believing much of what they say

Cheap Chinese routers as a risk being true doesn’t prevent it from also being true that the current us administration is full of shit and likely more concerned about enriching someone connected to them, or tilt at windmills

I mean the point is there’s a convenience factor where you might have twice as many ports as you’re willing to use

It’s not just that you might have more devices or want to leave them plugged in, but you may find some ports undesirable to use

My kids gaming pc tower has a set of usb ports on the back and a set on the front. It’s great to have options, but he’s not going to use them all. Ie he has ten usb ports for the five he uses

Maybe the birds got there first

Chuck Norris isn’t waiting at the pearly gates to be judged, the pearly gates were waiting to be judged by him

Chick Norris didn’t die, he was too much for this world

Same in DC. I was going through the roundabout, a bit fast, secure in the knowledge I have right of way …… and suddenly there’s a red light.

Sort of like in California … accelerating up the on-ramp to a highway, wondering why one lane of the ramp is empty, curving around to merge …. Red light?

Chuck Norris won’t have died, he’ll have found another realm to dominate

Huh. Here I believe food packages tend to assume 1100w, so anything lower is slow

It seems like I saw a couple bottom end underpowered microwaves that are still mechanical, but most here are electronic. Certainly any with useful power (1100-1200w@120v) are electronic. Anything larger that on a single plate are electronic. I don’t know idpf that means I’m looking at premium products, but almost all here are.

So I have all these buttons I almost never use, all these useless programs. I have to admit the “auto-defrost” program on my current one works really well, but aside from that, I mostly use “+30s”

But a hot dog in the bun is not?

Looks to me like 1/3 the industrial emissions are fossil fuel production, which are best handled by exactly what we’re already focusing on: renewable energy and EVs.

Now if we can only encourage everyone to eat less beef, that brings over the agriculture sector

Like that one commercial with the cow said, “eat mor chikin”

I find it hard to believe the software gives a yes or no answer. It almost certainly gives some sort of score and it’s up to the human to interpret that.

This is entirely on Fargo police
