It depends a little on caliber but you're broadly on the right track. Suppressed 22LR is 110-120-ish db, which is just barely hearing safe. Suppressed 556 (typical AR) is 135+db even with top-tier cans (qdc, rc2, saker), which is firmly in eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee territory. Similar story for 762 and friends. With the exception of 22LR, you really do want to be using proper earpro when shooting suppressed.

The other aspect of them that's usually less broadly appreciated (and part of why "suppressor" is preferred to "silencer") is that they're also effective at reducing muzzle flash, which is sometimes relevant, especially with short barrels.

> In most states, you can claim under almost any circumstances that a person came at you with a weapon (a rock?) and you shot them in self-defense.

> Drivers can't do any of [these] even while their vehicle isn't moving. The government will revise The Highway Code to explain that being stationary on the road, such as at traffic lights or in the middle of traffic jams, still count as driving.

My personal issue with the LLVM re-licensing and its exception clause is that it made no effort to deal with a few projects which had used the LLVM core in an LGPLV2.1 context, only those projects in a GPLV2 context.

This screwed over a few projects which are unable to re-license to an apache2-compatible license. Offhand, I believe it affected the LGPLV2.1 licensed Wine/Codeweavers win32 emulation layer for running windows 32-bit programs on a 64-bit-only mac, and affected several other programs as well.

>Of the aforementioned figure the vast majority of that is then sent on loan to museums and thus produces revenues for the museum and passive income for the owner.

Source? Moreover, considering that museums need donations/government subsidies to stay afloat, I doubt "making money" is the primary reason people/institutions buy art.

>5B/5M = 1000 individuals.

>Of course we are 8 billion humans, you'll always find 1000 individuals who behave in a way that you cannot explain logically or whose actions leave you scratching your head.

So your point of contention is that NFTs have too many people relative to the amount of people buying expensive original art?

>A person with common sense would not even think about splitting the experience and the bragging rights, or even re-arrange something as self evident and self-explanatory as watching a painting in a museum.

I'm seeing a lot of words devoted to dismissing my comment, but many words being devoted to explaining why my comment is incorrect. Declaring "self evident and self-explanatory" does not make for an argument. I don't see how "a person with common sense" would buy your explanation of people paying millions for the imperceptible 0.000000001%, so they can enjoy it more.

>In conclusion, there are some things that are just self evident, and need not to be explained. Even in the case of a person spending millions for paintings which will never be sent to museums.

>If a common sense person is invited to some rich person mansion and are shown a private collection of real paintings worth millions the thought that come up is inevitably: "A hard working rich person who likes expensive stuff and is not afraid to spend to enjoy life"

>If on the other hand a common sense person is invited to some crypto-rich person mansion and are shown a collection of hashes and blockchain transactions pointing to a JPG on twitter or imgur....the thought that comes up is inevitably: "A stoner cryptobro who won the lottery and now is wasting away their money paying 6 figures for some monkeys JPGs"

The thing that ties both of them is spending money on a non-productive asset, which serves as a costly signal[1] of your wealth. Old paintings definitely have more awareness than NFTs, I'm not going to dispute that. However, all that means is that old paintings are more mature than NFTs, not that paintings are valuable and NFTs are completely worthless. Before archeology was a thing, ancient artifacts probably had zero value beyond scrap, but nowadays there's a thriving market for it. Maybe NFTs will turn out to be like beanie babies, but maybe they'll turn out to be like artifacts?

FYI to anyone looking to try this out: the `--others` flag, used to include untracked files, will also print out files included in your .gitignore. So if you have eg. a node_modules/ or venv/ folder, all its contents will be listed.

This is often unwanted noise. I haven't been able to find if there's some combination of flags that would get the desired behaviour, but it's been a while since I've messed around with this.
I think I made this up: In order to get to where you're going, you gotta start with where you are.

It is not possible. Digital communication falls under national security for a country. You could do anything(within limits) within the bounds of a country, but all the digital communication that flows in and out of a country is built in such a way that the government can control it if required even if it is operated by private players.

I don't fully disagree, but I am constantly judging others (much to my dismay). And, then I also see articles like "Research indicates that only about half of perceived friendships are mutual" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12246819).
It's really concerning for Intel. Their high margin parts are in the data center space, which is extremely sensitive to perf/watt. If they're getting perf by throwing extra watts at the problem, are the data center parts going to be competitive? If not, it doesn't bode well for Intel, as that gravy train money is part of what let's them spend a stupid amount on R&D. They could starve themselves out of the investment money they need in an increasingly competitive market.
I'm with you; it does kind of sound like a drug-panic story.

The article does suggest that bombé is made from conventional drugs and basically cut with converter residue, so perhaps the residue slightly modifies its chemistry. Or it might do nothing at all; I'd be surprised if there's been a blind study comparing the effects of bombé made with cat residue to the same made with, say, clay.

Huh only in America it might be considered OK to execute a person for a theft of an automative part.

Its like - there is someone committing a nonviolent felony of stealing a minor part from your car, and now you are deputized to be judge jury and executioner and can perform a quick public execution, for your convenience…

I mean I get it sucks very hard to have something being stolen from you _in front of your eyes_ but does this justify an execution? Isn’t that why we have monopoly on violence and for that matter insurance?

I’ve had stuff like that stolen from me, by a member of my country’s repressed minority, and it was in front of my eyes, I was sleeping when the act was committed, right next to me, so I guess my life was also in danger. I woke up just as they were making their escape. I did have the urge to chase them down true, but never in my dreams have I thought these lives were beyond redemption and I have the right to execute them then and there, and I would live happy afterwards…

How does the moral calculous work for Americans? Genuinely curious. Is it “something bad is being done to me, I am therefore justified to use any means necessary” kind of thing, or there is something else/more?
Adding a bit to the other side of the equation, I think extraversion and introversion are independent spectrums. The 'introverts get energy from being alone, extraverts get energy from social interactions" explanation implies that introverts can function as hermits in total isolation and extraverts have no need for 'me time'; this is not my experience. Almost everyone has some baseline social needs that need to be met, and almost everyone needs some quantity of time alone.

Great! This is exactly the kind of action we need up and down the West Coast, in LA, SF, Portland, and Seattle. In all these cities “restorative justice” policies have essentially legalized crime, while still subjecting law abiding taxpayers to every statute. As an example: if a vagrant using up public parking spaces as a home dumps sewage from their RV into the street, they’ll face no penalties. If a homeowner drops a thimble of anything into a drain, they’ll face significant fines. Without real consequences and deterrents, criminals and low lives will victimize others with impunity. The catch-and-release policies used by activist DAs like Chesa Boudin have massively backfired and turned livable, attractive cities into dangerous slums. It needs to be fixed now.

Just curious, have you checked your hearing recently?

For a long time I believed that I can't hear anything in large groups because I'm introvert (which I am) and large groups exhaust me.
Turned out to be hearing problem.

And the thing is that I never had a feeling that my hearing is poor. But some day I got tinnitus that did not go away over time, and after some tests I learnt that I'm almost deaf for high-frequency tones. It impairs speech understanding, especially when there is a lot of background noise like on busy street... or family gatherings.
Oh my god, did you just discredit the entire field of EDA place & route in just one sentence? This is not your usual 20MHz bus. These are signals that switch at 2, 3, 4 GHz, and there are a shitton of effects that get in the way and limit how fast you can toggle a (longer) wire. Or at least significantly alter the power vs latency vs speed vs noise tradeoffs.

(and no, I most certainly did not buy into apple marketing, since I'm pointing that as a negative)

> You are aware a catalytic converter is a wear part that is a component of the exhaust system, right?

Not op but I didn't realize it was a wear part, and I would imagine that most people don't either given how long they last on modern vehicles.

Your explanation is helpful, but the tone of this comment is needlessly aggressive. The goal here should be to help each other learn, not shoot each other down.
Zapier is useful for integrating common tools (slack, drive, asana, etc etc) but would not be a good choice for most nontrivial ETL, or nontrivial any kind of integration.

Eg, you want a slack notification when a Google form is filled out. Pretty painless to set up a zap.

You want to keep a database table up to date with a Google sheet. You can do it on zapier, but it's gonna be a pain.

A society in which civil rights protesters unlawfully marched over the Edmund Pettus Bridge, interrupting traffic, and withstood the violent attempts at suppression by Alabama state troopers, forcing the nation to confront its fundamental injustice and pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965, is _in every single way_ a more just society in which the 'right' of travelers to pass over that bridge on March 7, 1965 is kept sacrosanct.
You are required to yield to vehicles in any lane of the circle, as you explicitly acknowledge.

If you do that, then turn signals are irrelevant.

If people do use their turn signals, it's ambiguous, and only applies for a split second, as you also explicitly describe so it only encourages accidents.

Therefore don't use your signals, don't guess what people are going to do, just wait for the car to pass.

Do you also turn left into the same street as someone turning right? I don't have chapter and verse citation on whether that is permissible, but I've always thought the person turning left is supposed to yield even if there are two lanes and nobody is oncoming from the POV of the person turning left.

The amount of precious metals in catalytic converters vary. OEMs make high quality units that actually do a very good job of lowering emissions, because regulators are closely looking at their vehicles.

The aftermarket units you see on Amazon skimp out on materials so they have lower purchase prices. They may have significantly less or sometimes zero catalytic material. While these wouldn't fool EPA inspectors hooking test equipment up to a vehicle coming right off of Ford's production line, they'll likely pass a visual inspection by your local Jiffy Lube.

A warm buffer cache makes a big difference too, so if you're benchmarking things like find vs other tools, be sure to empty the cache between runs.

For Linux:

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

In this case, the author is using hyperfine with --warmup 10, so the numbers are all using a warm buffer cache. A cold cache probably would have been more realistic for comparison, since the benchmark is traversing lots of directories.
The "air pressure" on the moon is in the sub-nano-Pascal range, significantly lower than an electronic vacuum tube (e.g., often on the order of 100 micro Pascals). There's not a bunch of air on the moon.
In King County, for age group >65yo, vaccination rate is >95%, and the percent of vaccinated hospitalizations for this age group is 3%.

In UK, for age group >60yo, with similarly high vaccination rates, the percent of vaccinated hospitalizations for this age group is 82.5%.

These numbers inhabit different realities. I cannot think of any reasonable explanation. Some attempts:

* King County is failing to vaccinate the highest risk subpopulation within this age group.

* King County is hospitalizing comparatively vast numbers of unvaccinated elder covid patients.

* King County, UK, or both, is having serious data collection and/or reporting problems.

* UK is using a different vaccine

If your car had its converter stolen and it’s less than 10 years old, it’s worth talking to the dealership.

Your dealership is going to laugh their asses off every time they tell the story about the time glitchc came in and wanted their stolen catalytic converter covered under warranty. Hell, that’s the kind of story employees bring home to their spouse and kids for supper time merriment. Of course, no one believes the story, because who would do that?

And as pointed out by others, “emissions system” is the phrase you’re looking for, not “power train”. The reason this is important is because of Federal U. S. law that says emissions systems are required to be covered for X years or Y miles, whichever comes first. Feds don’t give a shit how long your tranny lasts before it blows up.
Los Angeles is gearing up to ban wood-frame construction
late reply .. here in Australia, party politics means a tiny minority of coal/gas enthusiast incumbents get sway over the general populations desires [ admittedly many of whom are apathetic, but not a majority I think ]

This works both ways - if we can replace a few climate skeptics with climate action independent candidates then that might move the needle on government intransigence.

Strangely, the uptake of solar panels has been great down-under .. yet the uptake of electric vehicles has been appalling, with state governments even imposing a road tax on sales.

The real problem here is the government _subsidizes_ coal and gas, and we are even approving new gas fields for exploitation.

It is hard to maintain empathy and hope and still be a realist .. but I hope you will stay motivated and take what action you can.

We may be able to use tech in creative ways to circumvent government inaction - For example : instead of waiting for the government to roll out a carbon price or carbon tax .. everyday people may invest in a green-energy crypto token asset which is used to raise funds for clean energy projects ?

side note : Ive been actively DIS-couraging smart people in Australia to talk about nuclear, here - the problem here is it would take 15 years to even do the paperwork, and we have shown very little competence in rolling out high tech engineering projects [ NBN broadband failure as one example, submarines another ] .. so I think unless you have nuclear in place or in development already, there just isn't time. Meanwhile we could and should be building as many solar plants as possible, in parallel, essentially without such major regulation needed.

Dont let the bastards wear you down, keep doing all the things .. every ton of carbon we keep in the ground is a win that buys our kids time - so thankyou.
