Downtown Portland has gone to shit, no doubt about it. But there are problems in every city that needs addressing. For what it's worth I'd move to Portland still, the area is beautiful and much better than the increasingly overpriced desert I'm living in

I've been around guns. I know 50 rounds is practically nothing. I was shocked when my friend explained the law there to me. Just providing an alternative perspective

My boss is named Adolfo and I'm just like why?

I like lime sparkling water. You get the bubbles and it has a nice taste

So since the need for guns is a well regulated militia, per the second amendment, everyone should get to have 1 or 2 guns. No need for more

Yes you got the point. I've heard that in Israel you can have one gun. When you leave the shooting range you must buy 50 bullets. If you go back and have less than 50 bullets, they need you to justify why that's the case, or they refer it to police or something. I know something like this would not fly in America, but maybe it's a regime we could work our way towards

Same energy as people bitching about the homeless in SF and Portland. It's like have you seen our downtown bro, there's a tent city

No, Intel tried a novel architecture (different from TSMC) and it was found to be unviable. They basically wasted a few years going down the wrong path. They have incredible engineers and will catch up. We're at a point where the technology is limited by the machines they buy, which Intel and TSMC have the same vendors. They are behind because they went down a fruitless path, but they switched course and are now playing catch-up

Why do people keep saying this? There are many fans in the US. And for those that manufacture abroad, they still design their chips hear, ie Apple. People don't want to work at TSMC precisely because there are alternatives. Intel is demanding, but TSMC has a horrible track record regarding respecting their workers and safety. They don't even lock out electricity or gases on their tools when they're being worked on. As a personal anecdote, I received an offer from a company that paid much better to work at TSMC, but declined the offer based on the customer. Luckily a couple months later I found another job at the site I wanted that paid a little better even.

Intel recycles nearly 100% of the water they use, I'm sure TSMC will do something similar. They need to do a ridiculous amount of processing to make it suitable to return to the city supply anyways, so they just found a way to reuse

Except for Winco. Everyone I know loves Winco

I love that you have exactly 25 upvotes right now

And it's why I only use electrodes attached to my head that reads my thoughts

It's bitch city up in here. Bitch city

My job requires me to go in bc I physically fix machines, so wouldn't be able to complete my tasks from home. I've convinced myself I like it because it gives me a definitive separation between work and home. But I've never had a WFH job and would probably end up liking that a lot more tbh

That was the original opening line of the national anthem, before the party poopers took it out

Is it really though? Injustices happen all the time here. I want to agree with you but I'm struggling to come up with good justifications for it. Can you explain your thinking a little bit?

I know your mom just did

I just swap between lemmy.world and lemm.ee whenever one of them goes down. They're the first two options on the app I use lol

I love this, I'm gonna have to start using it when everyone is rushing and making silly mistakes at work
