This isnt like a hike up a local trail to a summit with nice view. This was proper mountaineering. Like hiking and winter camping and rock climbing combined. Safety should be the first priority in planning and execution. There should be hard turn around times, because you’ll always want to push to the summit in the moment. The negligent mistakes were not stopping and turning around sooner, not accepting help when contacted by a rescue helicopter, and not helping her use the equipment she had when it became apparent things had turned south.

I like to winter camp on the top of mountains in the Catskills (childs play by comparison), and when I saw he strapped her to a rock, it was clear to me he had fucked up. As soon as they had reached the last appropriate place, he should have set her up in her bivuac, and then turned around. Or they both should have turned around sooner when they weren’t on schedule. He pushed her further up when its clear they should have already been heading down. It was a selfish desire to summit.

Doesn’t matter the citizenship of the assholes. They want to prop up the defense industry with more contracts and protect other financial interests of the wealthy. Its a class thing not a nationality/ethnic/religious thing.

Because they pay him more money. 🤌

You design semiconductors for a living? Or just read articles?

You are a bit out of date. I cant say what I know, but tsmc is just one player now. Semiconductor industry is about to make some jumps.

Excellent. Thank you. This is what we need to know. We just need to have sufficient numbers of people doing legal observation at the right places.

Someone pointed out in another thread that schools and govt buildings where polling stations are already dont permit guns. But if ther are 50 of us there, the 10 of them they can muster will run like the cowards they are.

Im considering finding a local polling location where I can stand watch and gather other like minded people so there are more of us than them there. They will be the intimidated, they are the minority.

Vance said absolute, not qualified. Even more bananas. I remember reading children’s books about government that would have been enough to realize this isnt how shit is supposed to work. Fucks sake.

No one’s stopping you from going outside and doing something about it.

There’s a limit. The French remind us there is a limit.

That’s not the point. He’s sowing the seeds of doubt in the legimacy of the next election. MAGAts will be shouting, “I saw on the TV they was countin’ mail in ballots! Trump made that illegal! They’re stealing the election again!”

Intel is not going to fab leading edge chips anymore. They dont have the ability. From an economic standpoint, it appears they just tried to wring everything they could out of their old tech, but the technical reason is they didn’t have another option. There are no new technologies that they could have moved to. TSMC and Samsung are the only people making valuable advancements. They are only able to do so with the cooperation of all of their fab customers’ input. Intel doesn’t manufacture customers’ chips, only their own. They will have to spin off their failing fab and hopefully recover with their design side.

I didn’t say they’re going bankrupt. But their stock price is suffering. Go look at it over the last 5 yrs. Cronies want their money, so they’re gonna pump and dump.

Um what? Rental profits?

As far as its importance, Im a silicon design engineer. I care a lot about that. There are US fabs that aren’t too far behind for now, and TSMC is building its next fab in Arizona, notTaiwan.

Like I said this is all about investors. Don’t be fooled.

Yeah, on lemmy, you’re probably right. I guess Im just used to being surrounded by morons.

Ill consider the audience more carefully next time.

AI ruins everything.

If I make a bad investment, I’m hosed. If these fucks make a bad investment, they use my money to prop up the market so they can sell high and then let it tank.

I do not trust this administration to do anything more than cover their own and their donors, asses. Propping up a failing silicon fab company is a good way to set large sums of money on fire.

It’s not likely to change either. Slavery is still constitutional as long as your slaves are prison inmates. Read that amendment again if you doubt. This country’s politics requires an underclass to scapegoat for its troubles. Always has always will.

This is terror. ICE is a terrorist organization. That is why they must cover their faces. No one admits to being a terrorist.

What’s more likely to cause me harm today, ICE or ISIS?

He runs the country through “truth” posts that instruct federal workers to hide, destroy, ignore, and deny the truth.

He is a majority owner of “truth.” The audacity… just call it the Ministry of Truth and get it over with.

I just want to know what shape this new thing takes so know what I need to do. I’m tired of waiting for this oaf to perform his coup.
