The data can be filtered. I can’t figure out how to get a breakdown of it by incident type and year, but filtering to incident types that aren’t plausibly unrelated (murder-suicide, escalation of dispute, anger over discipline, and targeted domestic dispute), the data from my source shows 1185 incidents and 1366 casualties recorded since 1966. The total number of incidents of all types is 2981.

Assuming the ratios for incident types don’t fluctuate, only 40% would fall into the categories I filtered for. With the combined total for just 2023/2024 being 679, that’s still 269 incidents over two years. I’ll correct my previous comment.

As for the NPR article you linked, the source I’m using is aware of it and mentions it in their methodology page. They try to account for the lack of granularity by using multiple sources and cross-referencing them.

“Stupid,” nah. Bigoted, yeah. Conservatives never feel safe when their homogeneous neighborhoods are invader by others.

I think the printer ran out of ink before it finished 8 * 0.75

Another application of those things are virtualization. Throw in 3 x4 TB NVMe SSDs, 384 GB of memory, and a 25G NIC.

Off a single unit, you would be able to sell 12 VPS instances with 16 cores, 32 GB of memory, 1 TB of storage, and a guaranteed 1.5Gbps link.

That’s an EPYC. It’s a datacenter CPU, and it’s priced accordingly. Nobody uses these at home outside of hardcore homelab enthusiasts with actual rack setups.

The DNC. It’s a tried and true strategy to screw over the progressives.

I cited where I found those statistics. Their methodology included events such as brandishing firearms, bullets hitting schools, and premeditated school shootings. It’s not mass school shootings with fatalities occurring nearly every day of the year, but my point still stands: there have been enough of them in general that the pigeonhole principle applies.

A horrifying fact:

In 2024, 2023, and 2022, there were 132, 139, and 123 gun violence incidents in schools ^[1]. Totaling 384, by the pigeonhole principle ^[2], it’s a guarantee that some (not necessarily mass-) shooting takes place on the anniversary of at least one other shooting.

Edit: Updated statistics to be more selective about the incident type.

It’s almost guaranteed they wouldn’t be able to handle it if the roles were reversed. Apologies for actually using the word here, but to drive home the point: let’s see how Jackass Jim likes being called a “retarded cunt” every day.

They also hate neurodivergence. RFK’s little speech talking about it like an acquired disease and promising to “reverse” the autism that made children “regress” was very telling.

Anyone using Twitter to communicate and organize is a fool at this point. Whatever someone says or posts on there is going to be used against them by Elmo or Trump, guaranteed.

After conservatives get to be on top, it’s conservative men on top. And then, white conservative men. Next, rich white conservative men.

It’s going to be one hell of a lemon party by the end.

Why not both? Work them until they die of exhaustion and then the slavers can avoid paying for both food and construction.

That would be reasonable if it was in good faith. RFK is not performing research to gain a better understanding of neurodivergence. He’s looking to affirm his personal opinion by finding a correlation to conflate into causation.

Blaming environmental risk factors for the uptick, he accused the media and the public of succumbing to a “myth of epidemic denial” when it came to autism. He also called research into the genetic factors that scientists say play a vital role in whether a child will develop autism “a dead end.”

He’s rejecting existing findings.

“Genes don’t cause epidemics,” he said. “You need an environmental toxin.”

And prescribing his belief as the correct one.

Do you notice how he said “toxin” instead of “factor” as well? This is an intentional choice of words, framing autism as a disease caused by harmful factors. This is not somebody who is interested in understanding it.

Autism rates among children have increased nearly fivefold since 2000, when the C.D.C. first began collecting data on the condition’s incidence in children. The C.D.C.’s new report attributed some of the increase in autism’s prevalence to more screening for the condition. And researchers have pointed to several other factors, including greater awareness of what autism looks like, more access to services, more parents having children later in life and broader definitions of the disorder.

There’s more awareness and openness about autism than there used to be? How shocking similarity with the “increase” in homosexuality some decades ago. Maybe it’s new-fangled chemtrails turn people gay and autistic.

Mr. Kennedy vowed that under his leadership, the health department would focus on looking into certain substances, like mold and food additives, and parental obesity to try to reverse rising rates of autism in children.

Again, he is not looking to understand what autism is or how it affects those living with it. Those are not words of support for a demographic of disadvantaged people. Those are words aspiring to eradicate an extrinsic medical condition like HIV or cancer.

“These are kids who, many of them, were fully functional and regressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they’re 2 years old,” he said.

Yeah, because children that young aren’t screened for it.

But again, notice the word choice? “Regressed.” This is somebody who sees neurodivergents as undesireable and beneath himself.

Make no mistake: RFK isn’t promising any other solution to autism than a Final Solution.

That’s the poor man’s solution. If you’re rich and famous like Elon Musk, you can IVF away the undesirable traits like neurodiverge or the presence of an X chromosome where there must be a Y instead /s

I would say it’s worth a complaint that you’re barely getting a tenth of the speed you’re paying for, but with cable/broadband, there’s a million and one potential causes for throughput being degraded and Cox customer support is useless.

Is the node saturated? Is there a coaxial splitter in your wall blocking high-frequency signals? Is the run from the node to your house too long or noisy? What about the run from your house to the DOCSIS modem? Is there interference somewhere? Are there coaxial ports unnecessarily connected and degrading the signal? Did they just bond the minimum number of channels to reach the theoretical maximum of 500 Mbps under perfect conditions?

Who knows! Cox doesn’t know, and Cox doesn’t care. But hey, maybe you can be tricked into spending another $20 for even more unfulfilled promises!

Cox is really living up to their namesake of being a bunch of dicks.

You are also getting Max subscription plan with this, This will completely boost up your internet speed and you will be amazed by the higher speed and smooth service.

Oh, so smooth. Doubling that arbitrary throughout limit will obviously improve latency and jitter. I always have my network fully saturated all day, every day /s

Everything will be super fast and when you stream or browse there will be no buffering or interruptions and you will have a great experience

Yes, because buffering is caused by your inability to download 62 more megabytes of video a second. It’s totally not because the server isn’t sending video fast enough or anything. Fucking slimeball.

I knew exactly what your story was going to be about by the end of the first sentence. It’s so common that it’s immediately predictable. Fuck BofA and their bullshit.

No, no. Wouldn’t want anyone to be informed by media not controlled by the billionaire class. They’re perfectly fine with Fox, Twitter, and other misinformation sources that they benefit from.

When it comes to compliance and regulations, anything with the literal blast radius of a nuclear reactor should not be trusted to LLM unless double or triple checked by another party familiar with said regulations. Regulations were written in blood, and an LLM hallucinating a safety procedure or operating protocol is a disaster waiting to happen.

I have less qualms about using it for menial paperwork, but if the LLM adds an extra round-trip to a form, it’s not just wasting the submitter’s time, but other people’s as well.
