Good luck with finding an alternative. I tried running a Pinephone Pro with Linux and it was just too buggy to use.

If your current phone lasts 4 more years it might be ok software wise but good god is it bad now.

Civ 6 should perform quite well on your new CPU.

Also strong recommend for Satisfactory.

This reads like tech bro spam.

It’s ok. And yah. I ended up changing it to be more relevant.

You might be privileged or young enough where you didn’t have to think about it but yah. You could literally sign up. The program was up and running. Many of my friends signed up and were happy and excited.

Only after it was up and running was it shut down. So yah. Biden did push it through. And yah. The Trump Supreme Court did stop it.

You write a lot of stuff that I don’t think is relevant here. I’ll just say that while the ACA was problematic (ie the public option was stripped out) it did meaningfully improve people’s lives.

Before the ACA pre existing conditions exemptions were a thing. If you find out that you have cancer you suddenly can not switch health insurance providers because they would say that your cancer was pre existing condition that would be excluded.

When your health insurance is tired to your job this results in literal work here or die of cancer entrapments.

That and things like mandatory mental health coverage are some of the things that improved peoples lives.

If you are too young to remember the situation with healthcare in the USA before the ACA that’s fine. But the ACA was a godsend for people. It’s not perfect but it undeniably helped the most vulnerable people.

I mean you can make an argument, but I think the burden of proof would be on you there.

The last time the Dems had control they passed the ACA.

This is literally provably false. Biden, for all his faults, pushed through a student loan cancelation program.

It was blocked by the Trump controlled Supreme Court.

Elections matter. If Trump didn’t put 3 Supreme Court justices in place to block it people would be better off.

Don’t both sides this. It might make you feel smart but it results in harm.

If you rewatch the video it looks like he expects to need to manually rack the slide. He’s not phased at all.

I’m not saying going for a locked slide is the best approach. I’m just saying that it looks like he expected it. I don’t think anyone who is clever enough to evade being arrested at the time of the incident is dumb enough to not practice before hand. Particularly in the most surveilled state in the U.S.

He might have decided quietness is more important than follow-up speed when planning a close encounter assassination.

As an alternative he might have been going for maximum sound suppression. Locked breach suppressed guns are much quieter than automatic cycling. There are a lot of YouTube videos about shooting quiet. Once you’re shooting subsonic 10mm + rounds the loudest part is the escaping gas from the automatic cycling.

Fair, Satisfactory is a lot heavier on the hardware for sure. But it’s a first person 3D game with a much bigger emphasis on beauty.

I find top down to be less interesting. I like to build factories in 3D with many vertical manufacturing layers in addition to spreading out horizontally. I think 3D factories is a more fun challenge. To each their own though. They’re both interesting games.

Strong recommend for Satisfactory. It’s first person factorio but in a beautiful world that isn’t all brown.

Personally I think it’s better.
