Surely TSMC is equally prepared to destroy the fabs in AZ as they are the ones in China. Not sure how successful they could be, but my understanding was they've built kill-switches or whatever. It would seem dumb not to, at this point.
Also, I don't believe you can make a fab work by just stealing it. It's not like it's a toaster. lol
Oh ok, only Apple and Nvidia. lol. jk
Seriously though, you're clearly familiar with the semiconductor industry and yet you believe losing TSMC would only hurt Taiwan?
I'm likely less informed, but I'm inclined to think prices would skyrocket overnight and any innovation/R&D at competing companies would probably stall/be scrapped while companies simply try to match what TSMC is currently capable of producing. Personally, I'd immediately run out to buy the most expensive graphics card I could afford.
I mean, I know Intel likely isn't going to compete with anyone without some extreme government funding/support - they're currently struggling to get funding they were promised like 3 years ago.
Love languages are apparently a thing. Gift giving is apparently one of them. I've learned that communication is super important. If one person's love language is giving gifts and the other is quality time, or words of affection or whatever, there's going to be problems without proper communication.
That said, I'll echo what others are saying, albeit hopefully with a bit more compassion. Emotional maturity is absolutely a thing and not something most people learn at home and even less so out and about in our society/culture (assuming American/Western). Not sure how you best work on it, but you've got a starting point. Assess where you're at in your journey and set a goal or just try and get 1-10% better at practicing being emotionally mature.
Y'all act like there aren't millions of Americans that don't give a shit about school shootings. I'd bet my life savings if "the government" successfully banned guns to prevent school shootings, many of our people would absolutely riot
Where does anyone find the need to invent shady government plots like free, unregulated access to guns isn't a very popular policy with many living, breathing, thinking people that have equal (or in many cases greater) voting power as us?
Parity in what way? Doesn't TSMC create basically everything for everyone (Mac, Nvidia, AMD... oh yeah Intel)? Do you think Intel could fill that gap? ...like eventually or something?
I mean, I wouldn't phrase it that way myself - I have a lot of respect for Cenk/TYT - but I get the sentiment. Are they truly saying what they believe? Have they lost the plot? Did they jump the shark?
I've been really confused by them, moreso since their recent statements on trans folks, their attacking fellow leftists, and now their interest in building alliances with some pretty dodgy people.
I usually answer a question like yours with some variation of: I can't tell/don't have the energy/intelligence to figure it out and it doesn't matter. Treat them based on their utility to your political goals - things like getting informed, educated, organized.
That said, if you ask me, I think they need a break. They're lost in the sauce and don't know what's what. Therapy probation wouldn't hurt 'em either
2015 Honda Civic SI - best sports car I could get for the price. Great value car; still running perfectly almost 10 yrs later (afai~~k~~ct). The interior was also much better compared to others.
Probably not getting a new car ever due to all the "smart" features cars come with that I really don't like.
Oh shit another one! lol. I totally understand how landlines work, but thanks for trying to help. It still doesn't really make sense in the context of a file download being interrupted though. Only the first person to pick up would be interrupting it
Regardless, "moms" is absolutely a word. Y'all just don't know/use it. I understand your logic, so there's no need real to explain it. What's amusing is the jump to believing it's a whole other thing instead of just a nickname you don't know/have yet to learn
Like, I mean, some folks in the south (or east) call their grandparents meemaw. That was a new one for me. Not the exact same, but you get the idea
Logic seems sound. lol. You're most likely right. No need to look into it further, really
C'mon dude, the great depression? I'm obviously talking about our lifetimes. Was that a joke? Are you over 100 (and using Lemmy! wow)? More relevant to our chat, do you think the average dumbass American voter compares their life to people living 100 years ago or smth?
Sure, I'm totally the one nitpicking here.
Ok, let's take a step back. I said Dems messaging on the economy sucked. Then, you ~~shilled for~~ brought up Harris and said her messaging was fine or maybe great - it obviously wasn't since she lost and most voters cited the economy and/or inflation as their biggest concern (key data we should maybe consider here). You then linked an article quoting her. Let me know if I missed what you wanted me to see. Are you trying to say you believe that most Americans would've been swayed, or convinced she would really fix the economy?
We should try to understand the people we're talking to in a conversation. It's not productive to converse if you misunderstand or misrepresent their statements. So far this doesn't seem very productive
You'll note that's very relevant here where what economists mean when they say economy (inflation rate/unemployment) is very different from what most working class Americans mean when they use the word (inflation impact/social mobility/monthly budget). Let me know if that's not clear. It's similar to how scientists use theory very differently to most laymen.
lol. This is adorable
How wud two people pick up a phone tho?
At the time, would this be easier to make in a cast or with a little chisel?
