It’s the HK G11 and FN P90. Both guns have a magazine where the cartridges aren’t in line with the chamber so each cartridge needs to be rotated before it can chambered. HK decided to commune with ancient clockwork gods to learn the secrets of kraut space magic while FN just went with a curved ramp.

Thanks! I’ve spent 3 weeks trying to solve this problem lol

wins successfully steals the election

I use organic maps for biking and walking and it’s a lifesaver. It actually takes me along bike paths rather than massive high speed stroads and even gives an elevation graph for the path it gives.

Gonna defend gen z a bit here. Unlike older generations, gen z was raised in a large part only on locked down, touch screen interface devices like smartphones and tablets. These devices are designed to not be tampered with, designed and streamlined to “just work” for certain tasks without any hassle.

If you only have a smartphone or tablet, how are you supposed to learn how to use a desktop os? How are you supposed to learn how to use a file system? How are you supposed to learn how to install programs outside of a central app store? How are you supposed to learn to type on a physical keyboard if you do not own one?

I worked as a public school technician for a while and we used Chromebooks at my school system. Chromebooks are just as locked down if not more locked down than a smartphone due to school restrictions imposed via Google’s management interface. Sure they have a physical keyboard and “files” but many interfaces nowadays are point and click rather than typing. The filesystem (at least on the ones I worked with) were locked down to just the Downloads, Documents, Pictures, etc. directories with everything else locked down and inaccessible.

Schools (at least the ones I went to and worked at) don’t teach typing classes anymore. They don’t teach cursive classes. They don’t teach any classes on how to use technology outside of a few Microsoft certification programs that students have to chose to be in (and are awfully dull and will put you to sleep).

Gen Z does not have these technology skills because they largely do not have access to anything that they can use to learn these skills and they aren’t taught them by anyone. Gen Z is just expected to know these skills from being exposed to technology but that’s not how it works in the real world.

These people aren’t dumb as rocks either like so many older people say they are. It’s a bell curve, you’ll have the people dumb as rocks, the average person, and the Albert Einsteins. Most people here on lemmy fall closer to the “Albert Einstein” end of the tech savvy curve so there’s a lot of bias here. But I’ve had so many cases where I’ve met Boomers, Gen X, and Millennial who just can’t grasp technology at all.

Also, before someone says “they can just look it up on the internet”, they have no reason to. What’s the point of looking up these skills if they cannot practice them anywhere? Sure, you’ll have a few that are curious and interested in it but a vast majority of people have interests that lie outside of tech skills.

Tl;dr Gen Z is just expected to know technology and thus aren’t taught how to use it or even have access to non-locked down devices.

In small datasets, the speed difference is minimal; but, once you get to large datasets with hundreds of thousands to millions of entries they do make quite a difference. For example, you’re a large bank with millions of clients, and you want to get a list of the people with the most money in an account. Depending on the sorting algorithm used, the processing time could range from seconds to days. That’s also only one operation, there’s so much other useful information that could be derived from a database like that using sorting.

I’d place the blame more on businesses and dumb managers keeping them afloat since they still think Intel is the best bet for their computers or they’re stuck with Intel due to existing contracts. After AMD came in and bitch slapped Intel with Zen, a lot of the community switched teams and went over to AMD for CPUs but most businesses haven’t yet.

I’d place the blame on the Democrats pushing such an unlikable candidate, Hillary Clinton, that they couldn’t move enough people to vote to get past the electoral college bias. There’s also the fact that most people thought “How bad could Trump be. He looks honest and confident in what he says” and a lot of positive media around that time being about Trump.

This time, we have Kamala Harris who’s actually really good at campaigning and getting support. The move the Democrats pulled managed to derail the GOP Propaganda machines (like Faux News) and put the positive focus on Harris instead of Trump.

Regardless of what is happening in the Republican side, we still need to vote since this could be our last chance to vote.

No no, he needs to stay in. He needs to keep saying this shit and driving everyone away from voting Trump. Since JD Vance is a narcissistic, power hungry couch fucker, he won’t leave Trump’s campaign willingly which is exactly what we need.

At least it isn’t Ohio

It looks like they’re trying to bring the pastors to the kids instead

Dozens

Don’t the case

That’d be great if there actually were functional public transportation or any alternative transportation in most of California and 99.9999% of America.

It was. There’s a partially working Linux build available and it looks like they’re trying to port to windows too

One of my local gas stations had that to where it was so loud you can hear them in the car. A few weeks after they installed them, someone came by with a hand drill and drilled out all of the speakers. Not sure what happened to that hero but we need more people like them.

I remember a documentary touching on that subject but I think it was moreso related to the amount of sugar and processing the cocoa goes through before being sold on the market

And then not voting is like the attendant coming back after everyone else has made their choice but she only has one of the options left for you
