It depends

Not all weapons have a burst mode. Often though, militaries prefer controlled bursts of full auto, but it depends on the role and weapons system. Machine gunners are more likely to go full hog than a rifleman for example, but that's assuming that all soldiers do the most optimal choice in any given situation, which just isn't true.

um actually rent control (alone) historically has made housing worse, reduced housing quality, and raised prices 🤓🤓🤓

That's if you mean price capping by "rent control," if there is anything else, I don't have anything to say about any other type of rent control, as I don't know much about those.

Considering they directly communicate with Apples servers and make money from that...

But, isn't that what APIs do? Why would that get Beeper in legal trouble if they are paying their license fee? I'm not being facetious, genuinely curious.

If it works, sell or donate it. If it doesn't work, you can see if it is worth repairing. If it's not, recycle it. You can check on your municipality's website on their waste management page to see if they recycle electronics.

If you do sell, donate, or recycle, make sure there is no data on the drives that you would miss, then wipe it. If you plan on recycling, you can take out the drive and destroy it. Magnets and paper shredders are helpful.

He wouldn't say it for them, but for his main voter base: Conservatives, the alt-right, and anyone sympathetic to either.
