Even the ones where the chutes deployed have to be still carrying a decent amount of energy given the speed they appeared to be dropping in the video I saw. Given the number of folks running to try to get to them I'm surprised MORE weren't injured.

Even phevs have this availability. Loving our Mazda cx90 for this feature. Can program their app to have it start warming 15-20 mins before my wife leaves for work and it's ready to go and comfortable.

Sure sounds like it. 5800x3d I think is max 4.5ghz base. But at $100 cheaper list, I know which I'm picking.

Yep. Most people clutching their pearls at this story don't have any idea how difficult it is to actually build anything outside a gen 3 Glock or an ar-15. And those have "80% kits" that basically say "drill hole here" available on the market. Try finding a hi point, lorcin, or even Taurus or low end S&W pistol, or cheap shotgun(like a Stevens or Remington 870) receiver(because that's most of what comes into these guys who have businesses like this), and you'll find out it is a) cost prohibitive, b) still has to go through a nics check bc there's nobody home building much of anything (well, the hi point may be the odd one out bc there are 3d printed frames you could make). What they do end up doing is a lot of business with guys refurbishing grandpa's old deer or duck gun.

Chipolo tags delayed and no update from the company since July 27. Very close to requesting a refund at this point.

Tarkov is a place where people discover they are actual masochists. The learning curve is near asymptotic, especially if you start mid or late in one of the economy "wipe" cycles. The cheater issues they have make it 10x worse than it should be though.

The LA Democrat party has been in disarray for years. The leadership has been ineffective at best and borderline (or in some cases outright) corrupt at worst. They ran an unlikeable candidate with a good bit of baggage as their candidate. Even if he had held Landry enough to force a runoff, he didn't have enough support from Republican voters for it not to have been a landslide.
