Majority of the anti-Asian attacks are committed by white people. This has already been proven.

Yes, I do live in a country where owning anything other than a shotgun is more or less always going to be illegal, and owning a shotgun isnt easy. Before that I lived in the UK, which is mostly the experience Im speaking of.

Criminals do still have guns, and Ive not been entirely sheltered from dealing with them. However, the number of criminals who have them would be significantly lower than in the US.

My original response however, was to refute the idea that if you live in a rough area it just makes sense to have a gun. Nothing was said about it being in the US, though I still think that the issue there isnt that the criminals have guns, its that your police officers arent up to the task of dealing with that situation.

Absolutely do not buy a .40!
That's the exact caliber that i have. It has the most kinetic energy of any non magnum round. I bought it because there was a bear around my place, going after trash.
After training with it... It's FUCKING loud. Would kill a bear. And would deafen your entire family.

Do not recommend for use indoors.

Hows the XL? The 365 was just a bit small for my hands.

Dude took advantage of his father's death and got sympathy gig after sympathy gig before landing very small acting gigs, and was noticed by Lorne Michaels only because of his weird appearance.

I think the TLDR for the Ampere generation is that the RTX 3080 was too good of a card for that price range, at least in retrospect.

If they wanted to make bank on enthusiast cards like they did with the 1080 Ti and 2080 Ti, they shouldn't have made the 3080 that close to the 3090

NVIDIA is playing smart by holding back on the RTX 4000 series until the GPU price collapse ends and they clear out inventory. It's hard to tell if AMD's silence on the next RDNA chips is because they're behind or because they're trying to hit NVIDIA hard. The rumor is that NVIDIA will release only the RTX 4090 this year and everything else next year, but that depending on AMD's market strategy they may actually make the 4090 $999.

NVIDIA is a much better-run company than Intel. They're not afraid to go hard in price-to-performance, either. The general consensus when they announced the RTX 3080 was that it was priced very competitively relative to the extreme increase in performance over the previous generation. Of course, that was before the GPU shortage, and at that time NVIDIA had legitimate concerns that AMD was about to come in and undercut them heavily in price. So they simply took what was likely their true enthusiast card (the 3080) and lowered the price from $999 to $699 (and dropped the VRAM from 12gb to 10gb), then renamed the RTX TItan Ampere series to RTX 3090 at the last minute.

In NVIDIA's own documentation, the 3080 was originally supposed to be the highest-end gamer card and the 3090 was basically the 3080 with a ton of VRAM (a Titan card, basically, for producers).

Intel is the kind of dumb ass company that releases something like the 11900k, charges more than the Ryzen equivalent, then can't even match their own previous generation's CPU in multicore.

The price collapse of this generation of GPUs clearly shows that they were running a cartel-like model of deliberate scarcity. Apparently NVIDIA has so much RTX 3000 GPUs just sitting around, they decreased the price of the RTX 3090 Ti by like 50%.

Honestly, I think the difference between NVIDIA and Intel is that NVIDIA actually does make highly refined and competitive products consistently. Which means AMD's gotta find a way to get ahead of NVIDIA in something, like you mentioned. Otherwise, they're just gonna be trailing NVIDIA at least in the PC space.

They also don't talk to each other about it.
AMD just reacts to nVIDIA and counter prices them.

Yeah they did that with the 6800 XT. But they only made it $50 cheaper which was a real WTF considering the gap in intrinsic feature sets between the 3080 and the 6800 XT.

Frankly I don't care which brand of GPU I own, but AMD has got to find another way to compete. Either significantly lower prices with similar performance (the ATI way) or significantly better performance at the same price (Ryzen way).

nVIDIA & AMD were already punished for that by the US Government and fined.

I was a Radeon fan all throughout the 2000's. But to be honest, if I'm going to do a comparison I consider NVIDIA to be like Ryzen and AMD (ironically) to be like Core i9.

Core i9 does beat Ryzen CPUs in single-threaded performance sometimes, but GENERALLY SPEAKING Ryzen is just a better product overall, even if there's a couple things it does worse.

Likewise, the AMD cards feel like they're lacking the kind of support NVIDIA puts into GeForce. NVIDIA is so far ahead of AMD in general software optimization and support, even though they're about even in rasterization. In addition, I feel like AMD basically price matching NVIDIA instead of undercutting them makes it awful hard to justify. The only tier AMD undercut Intel was the Enthusiast (6900 XT vs. RTX 3090) but both cards were stupidly overpriced relative to performance; it's just AMD's was less stupidly overpriced.

I applaud AMD's FSR 2.0 big time. FSR 1.0 was, pardon my language, a fucking dumpster fire. I'm hoping AMD pushes harder into image reconstruction because it put NVIDIA way ahead of AMD in the RTX 2000 and 3000 generations.

NVIDIA is obnoxious with how it controls prices and feature creep, but at least they make competitive top-tier products. Intel has just been swirling the drain for a half-decade.

How much better must AMD's GPU be over nVIDIA to get you to buy their GPU?

Give me a % of performance better.

What about features, how many more features would AMD need to convince you to swap from Team Green to Team Red?

The bigger problem is that Intel is slipping on delivering it's products when it's promised.

Intel is delaying it's VERY FIRST Chiplet based CPU (Meteor Lake) to 2024.

Intel's Arc launch debacle is one delay after another with HIGH CHANCE of cancellation of the consumer end of Arc.

Who knows, right now it's up to Pat Gelsinger and the other C-suite VP's to decide this, but the rumor on the street is that many of the other C-suite VP's are calling for Arc's head to be placed on the Guillotine.
It's not just losing ALOT of $$$, but also costing Intel alot of good will and reputation.

This Andrew Tate guy came out of nowhere. Does he have a rich connected family member paying for his exposure and promotion or something?

somebody is incredible. I see drunk driving is less frowned upon when you're famous. RIP and all but this is ridiculous. She was THIS CLOSE to taking someone else with her.

In the years since the police killing of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old woman who was fatally shot after a raid on her Louisville, Kentucky, home, questions about the origin of the search warrant have dominated conversations. Now, the community is learning that it wasnt how the warrant was carried out, but why it was issued in the first place.

Three new officers, Kelly Hanna Goodlett, Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany, have been charged with federal crimes in connection to the killing of Taylor, including unlawful conspiracies, obstruction offenses, use of excessive force and federal civil rights offenses, as the Department of Justice previously confirmed. Although Goodlett, Meany and Jaynes were not present at the time of the raid, their alleged misconduct is being accused of initiating the events that eventually led to the fatal shooting.

Goodlett, Jaynes and Meany falsified information to get the warrant, alleging that Taylor was receiving illegal packages at the residence, despite allegedly knowing that information was false, The Washington Post reports. They are also being accused of covering up their activity along with the police department being connected to The Elliott Avenue Project, according to WLKY. The Elliott Avenue Project is a development project.

A document describing the project alleges that the neighborhoods social and urban fabric has deteriorated over recent decades due to high levels of disinvestment and crime. It also states that the Department of Develop Louisvilles Office of Community Development, the citys entity behind the project, in partnership with Keeping It Real, Inc., a local nonprofit partner, are intervening in an effort to stabilize and reinvigorate this residential community within West Louisville.

Since the start of the project, the city of Louisville has acquired and gained control of several properties in the area, including 2424 Elliott Ave., which was once the home of Taylor and her ex-boyfriend Jamarcus Glover. After Taylors death, the city was quick to secure Glovers rented home and got quite the deal for it, too. According to Wave, the city bought the home for $1. The estimated home value was more than $17,000.

And the citys pending acquisitions in the area skyrocketed after they secured Glovers home. As of July 2020, just a few months after Taylers killing, the project document stated that they had succeeded in gaining control of 26 properties, with an additional 11 pending acquisitions in the area. The attorneys for Taylors estate, suspecting foul play in the citys actions, allege that the neighborhoods gentrification may have been the reason Glover was targeted and Taylor was killed, the Courier-Journal reports. Taylors attorneys started looking into the potential corruption and misconduct in 2020. According to WHAS11, they filed a lawsuit that alleges her death is connected to the Elliott Avenue Project.

The suit states that the LMPD created a special unit, the Place-Based Investigations unit (PBI), that focuses on certain areas which needed to be cleared for real estate development projects to proceed, according to WHAS11. Sources also allege that the block on which Glover lived was an obstacle to the projects efforts, and that LMPDs Criminal Interdiction Division, which the PBI is under, went after the area to kickstart the development plan.

Though some city lawmakers say the project and PBI have the neighborhoods best interest at heart, not every official agrees. Councilman Anthony Piagentini (R-19) is skeptical about their intentions and has expressed his concerns and questions.
Im struggling to figure out how this wasnt anything but driven by development, Piagentini said, WHAS11 reports. Correct that picture that I just painted that seems to go from development to law enforcement action.

For real, CE treats drunk driving worse than murder. Why are we making excuses for this lady?

Good. I'm all for helping the homeless getting the things they need to get help and become functional members of society, but kids walking to school definitely don't need to see people sticking themselves with needles or hit by a car while trying to avoid junkies.

That all sounds great, shame about the 30 fps thing. But I'm also honestly surprised the gamecube version, a 2002 game was 60 fps.

I have the gamecube version, what are these ps2 additions? It sounds like another case similar to re4's gc to ps2 transition.

What if he was seriously hurt tho. Are you just saying that cause he was ok.

Fuck em

Its their stupid ass fault they got hit

Kind of sad because he used to wasn't be like this before, and also sad because he used to have an Asian girlfriend

A lot of churches are hypocritical. Its funny reading the yelp reviews where former employees kind of spill the tea on what goes on behind the scenes at churches. I think the younger generation will take a "i am christian, but dont believe in going to church" approach instead focusing on a personal relationship with god.

mmm, convenient

That's 100% how it works. You made the claim. You provide the source.

1. Party at Tate house, girl attends, sleeps with his brother, has good time.
2. Girl's husband calls her up after tracking her phone, she lies and says she was held hostage.
3. Cuckold calls the USA embassy(lmfao!) in Romania, police raid Tate house.
4. Police take electronics, find no drugs, find no sex slaves, find not dungeon, etc.
5. Police review indoor and outdoor surveilance systems, see girl getting it on, see her LEAVE the grounds to take food delivery and come back. Tates brothers are home free.
6. Internet runs with the accusation after the entire case is settled because Tates blew up huge quite recently.
7. Only other accusation a gainst him is beating a woman on camera...which he did with consent from his BDSM loving girlfriend of 9 years.
