I was using the pinebook pro ARM laptop with manjaro linux as a semi-daily driver for a while. It is fine for simple tasks and web browsing, but you cannot expect the hardware to be quick or snappy. I had consistent issues with wifi, and eventually I got fed up with the weak performance and switched back to an x86-64 architecture laptop. In terms of software and support, besides the wifi issues, it was fine

Hey, we’re not hurting anyone!!!

Beat me to it

Actually, it is religion which drives that wedge, not science. Science creates no wedges at all and is purely inclusive; the religious people who deny repeatable and verifiable fact-based evidence are willingly excluding themselves, not being wedged away.

Science is waiting and ready to receive any repeatable and verifiable factual evidence that supports religious claims.

EDIT: lol would the downvoters like to explain what they believe is wrong with my comment?

Ah disappointing, building up a stash completely filled with all different types of ammo would have brought some nostalgia. The different and more realistic ammo types was a great detail to the game and a big differentiator between all of the various guns. I’d often be choosing my load-out not based on my favorite or most powerful gun but whichever gun used the ammo that I could easily scavenge along the way. That small detail definitely gave the games a more zone-survival-feel

Hopefully there will be mods to bring more realism and detail back into the game

Fair enough. Police will disclose and journalists will often report the number of weapons and ammo or any explosive devices found at the perpetrator’s home, even if they were not brought to the scene or used in the crime. I think the ladder is a detail in the same vein because it is equipment that he had available to him.

I just don’t understand why you’re so fired up and bothering to argue about it then? Seems super trivial if you thought it neither adds nor takes away. Your only point in this argument is that the article could have left out some detail, for what, to be a little bit shorter??

I do get your overalll point, and if it was a random mass shooting, I’d agree that we don’t need every little detail about the shooter’s life story. There is some nuance to the fact that this was the attempted assassination of a former president, so it is going to be one of the biggest news stories in the US, and they’re going to report all kinds of details about his life.

But the detail that he bought a ladder that morning is, in my opinion, relevant whether he ultimately brought it with him or not, and not a random detail. His activities leading up to the attempted assassination are relevant to understanding his thinking and mindset. It sheds light into how much prior planning or thought went into it.

Uhh, I am the user who said that… are you a bot that doesn’t contextualize by username, perhaps? Probably just a simple mistake by a human.

It’s a false equivalency: taking a shit is not equivalent to the shooter buying a ladder, and I don’t think any reasonable person or journalist would count how many times he used the bathroom as part of his activities.

That’s as much engagement of your semantic argument as you’re going to get out of me.

All of his activities on that day are relevant to creating a complete picture of what occurred, and journalists choosing to withhold details and information is kind of a slippery slope?

EDIT, including this here so it is higher up in this argument thread:

Police will disclose and journalists will often report the number of weapons and ammo or any explosive devices found at the perpetrator’s home, even if they were not brought to the scene or used in the crime.

I could probably alternately add the Discover app to the Ignored applications list, but I prefer a fresh session on start.
