I don’t think you know what “sarcastic” means. Have you been drinking again?

Don’t encourage that behavior in your cat. Hands aren’t toys. Get cat toys for you and your cat to play with together.

Rep. Tony Lovasco, a Republican from the St. Louis suburb of O’Fallon. “Generally speaking, we don’t charge people with crimes because we think they’re going to hurt someone.”

Too much to unpack here.

Define “done”.

On mobile, when everyone was releasing their new voice assistant technologies, Cortana outperformed them all. On desktop I agree that Cortana was a waste of space.

I’ve been a MS products fan since Windows Phone, Cortana, and OneNote stole my heart. I loved the great features that Windows 10 and Edge provided out-of-the box. Bing provided better results than Google for some time.

But Phone was never accepted by the market, and with it, Cortana faded away. OneNote hasn’t kept up with the market, and they somehow broke the cursor on mobile. Sticky Notes lost compatibility with Dark Mode. They started pushing ads to Windows start menu, and embedded ads in Edge Collections.

Microsoft makes great software, then fuck it all up. Oh well, back to Linux.

Swipe typo. “War”

The Israeli government is murdering children and committing war crimes, and they’re upset about what The Onion has to say about it.

I’m not in a position to affect change in a powerful way. So I try to stay educated and informed, I vote at the ballot box, I vote with my wallet, I donate what I reasonably can to places where I think it will help, and I speak out when it’s appropriate to do so.

Like I said your original request (statistics of “legal” CCW permit holder, without premeditation, discharging a firearm, in California) is incredibly specific, making it very difficult to find quality research. But here’s what I was able to find for you:

Johns Hopkins has this: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/study-finds-significant-increase-in-firearm-assaults-in-states-that-relaxed-conceal-carry-permit-restrictions

This one includes some good details as to why these studies are challenging, and what causes errors in the data: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/concealed-carry/violent-crime.html

Here’s a summary from GVPedia (note the sources in the footnotes): https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/GVPedia-Permitless-Carry-Factsheet-Feb2022.pdf

Hopes this helps.

PRI is a right-wing political policy advocacy group. Do you have a nonpartisan source?

I have no idea, that’s a very specific and difficult statistic to try and research. Do you have the answer?

hmmm. Sounds like something an insurrectionist would say.

Thanks for stopping in Rochester!

Context?

Shm. Smh. The fucking people who call all sodas “coke”.

Them: What kind of Ford do you drive? Me: a Chevy.

You lost me with all the ads baked into the OS. You’re not gonna win me back with… checks notes Notepad.

I’ve dipped my toes in Linux a few times over the years, but after Windows started pushing ads to the start menu, the lock screen, and the Edge Collections pane, they pushed pushed me off the cliff.

Hot take: memory is pliable.
