"Half of the more than 10 billion #RISCV chips shipped globally by 2022 were made in China"
@freemo I begrudgingly agree with the vaccinations. Human insulin is produced with genetically modified E. Coli but the thing that was supposed to save humanity didn't make much of a breakthrough at all.
A worldwide pandemic with alleged cooperation was just a lie. The US was closely guarding vaccine research from intrusions. It says a lot about the state of the world when we could have worked together but did not.
The rest I agree with. Masks were mainly to make people feel safer. I didn't get my first N95 until 3 years into the outbreak. The University I was at did a lot of testing and sanitation. They required masks and even with that, they would quarantine every person who was in a classroom with an individual who tested positive.
The data implied that cloth masks were effective with minimal chances of spreading the virus. Surfaces were believed to be the main culprit. The University was able to hold classes in person throughout the outbreak due to *monitoring with various technologies, some developed in house. Much research was done in this area.*

Bodily autonomy is sacred. That means I beleive all drugs should be legal without a prescription, abortions legal, and no one should ever be forced to take a vaccine, drug or wear a mask.

@AmpBenzScientist @freemo You know they do make AR-15s in more "manly" calibers if you want one.
The purpose of the .556 was not so much weak men who couldn't handle recoil. It was poor marksmanship and the attempt to compensate by letting soldiers carry more ammunition.
@mike805 @freemo The M14 was a full auto M1 Garand with minor changes. It was overly complicated, the stock swelling in humidity would make it inaccurate and features that would have been useful were absent. The M14 won when competing against the FAL and AR-10. The AR-10 was well liked but the government decided that the new Garand was the best choice.
In semi automatic, the M14 is a magnificent rifle with nothing but a gentle nuzzle in the shoulder. Compared to a Cetme/G3/41 it still feels like trash.
The M16 did a lot of damage with the original round because it would come apart in flesh. It wasn't competing in an environment it was designed for. The enemy's weapon wasn't a trashy AK. The Chinese reverse engineered an early AK and made the best AK ever built. This was the Type 56 Assault Rifle, the Type 56 was an SKS and both were used by the NVA.
The M16 still out performed the best AKM variant.
About the mild rounds, 7075 Aluminum isn't going to work that well with 7.62 NATO. DPMS made a 308 and that seems to be the basis of modern 308 ARs. It needs more material and structure to be able to fully handle the round.
After a certain point, the AR platform is no longer a Lego set. It has to be reengineered for more powerful rounds. It's not the fault of the AR, the locking bolt and barrel extension can handle it. The lower has to be different and the buffer & bolt need to be optimized for the round.
Can an AR-15 be built to handle a strong round? Yes it's called the SIG MCX or something. It's essentially an AR-15 & AR-18 with something that reminds me of a naval gun lock. The AR-18 parts could be left out and just use the AR-15 system, the advanced lock or something like it and a full length barrel.
The MCX was the answer to a question that only the government asked. How do we get a carbine with a suppressor, making it full size, to have the ballistics that a battle rifle would have? The answer was obviously shoving a steel pistol case inside brass and requiring a massive chamber pressure. Congratulations government, you recreated the battle rifle you turned down for the M14 and butchered the M16 into something it wasn't engineered to be.
@freemo I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all confused yeah.

Got the old box spinning up for a bit… new parts should get here tomorrow, which should be a quick operation to fix as I have it pulled apart already.

> let me guess you were wearing shield protectors and ffp3 mask?
We actually use N95 in the lab
> That's way beyond what an average teenager will wear. The average teenager, if forced, will wear ffp2 masks (because these are the most common) and ... probably the same multiple times.
Exactly, they have bodily autonomy. They can wear protection or not, thats their choice their body. If they choose not to wear protection thats on them. It is not my responsibility to habe my bodily autonomy infringed on simply because some other people are too lazy to wear appropriate protection. Doesnt work that way. You wear whatever level of protection you want, worry about yourself, you are more than capable of protecting yourself regardless of my choices with my body.
> No, it's not "my fault" if I am an average person that buys an average mask from an average shop.
Just like its not my fault if im an average person and does what average people do, and not wear a mask at all.
> People with covid symptoms should just wear a mask.
See now you just moved the goal post, now your not talking about requiring masks of the general public but only people with symptoms. Despite the goal post being moved this is still a horrible take. Anyone with COVID should remain indoors, its the polite thing to do for sure. But since the overwhelming majority of people who get COVID are asymptomatic and never know they have COVID that will do little good regardless.

@olives I kinda figured a vitamin cant be that dangerous... seems I was right.

TIL you can literally drink pure Phosphoric Acid and it wont destroy your mouth. I mean i knew it wasnt the strongest of acids but I didnt realize how weak it was.
I found this out because a vitamin I bought is 95% water and 5% pure phosphoric acid. i put a few drops out and let the water evaporate then licked it and to my surprise it was tart but didnt burn. Should have been close to 85% pure after the bulk of the water evaporated.

> Do you want to make a baby, fund a childhood till adulthood for 18+ years or is that not your responsibility?
There are far too many starving and homeless children for that to be a morally justified choice. I would love a child, but ethics would never allow me to do that. That said I do intend to adopt.
> You are a man.
Am I? Why are you telling me what kind of genitals I have. Stop making this rude and awkward.
> You have no say and no decision if an "unborn child deserves a chance at life too".
I mean I explicitly stated I support abortion **despite** any apparent right of the unborn child. So now your upset that I support abortion? What idiocy is this.
More importantly, regardless of what genitals I have, I like everyone was once a fetus. So as a person (like all people) who would have been directly effected by any abortion laws obviously I have a right to have an opinion.
