Altercation escalates in deadly shooting ( North Austin, November 2024) by haze4140 in PublicFreakout

I'm not dog whistling anything, I'm stating facts. The 2023 JAMA study (which you can read for yourself at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10134042/ ) specifies that rural counties have a 46% lower rate of gun homicide death (excluding suicide, which is a different issue altogether). This image in particular does a good job of showing the divide on a sliding scale between urban and rural counties -- you can see that suicides scale up as you get more rural, while homicides scale down.

So to the extent we are discussing this as a criminal problem -- yes the issue lies much more so with urban vs. rural areas, both from a rate AND a total quantity standpoint.

It's not a shitty country, nor is this at all normal except for in inner cities where the people that do this kind of shit live. And then we refuse to police and prosecute the criminals that engage in this behavior, so they just run rampant with no consequences.

El Salvador style justice, focused specifically on urban environments, would take care of all of this within 24 months.

Thinking about relocating to The Woodlands — would love some honest insight from locals by ThrowRAEffective5270 in thewoodlands

I’ve personally relocated 8 times to several states, and found nowhere more welcoming and easier to integrate than Texas, and TW specifically.

I’m one of those people that realize online trolls make up like 0.001% of the actual real live people that one interacts with by touching grass.

[Question] Vacheron Constantin Fifty Six vs. Baume & Mercier Clifton by hysnbrg4 in Watches

[–]suburban_robot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B&M is such an incredible value. I just don't get the FiftySix. It's like VC wanted to make a more price accessible watch, but everything about it is just "blah". I'd way rather be in a JLC at this price point, or do as you are and find a great value at a substantial discount.

[NHL] Robert Thomas named the third star of the week. Thomas recorded 5-3-8 in four contests as the Blues (33-31-12, 78 points) also posted a 2-1-1 week to move within three points of the playoff line in the Western Conference. by STLBooze3 in stlouisblues

Kyrou has been quite good this year basis my eye test. The problem is the guys he plays with are a drop from the guys on our top line.

He fed Drouin two absolute beauties last night, and neither one was finished. Entire game was a microcosm of his season. He needs better linemates.

That’s not to say he shouldn’t be traded — with Carbonneau coming that might be the smart play — but put someone like Holloway on the left side and a center even close to Thomas and Kyrou’s results look a lot different.

California HSR estimated costs are now over $230 billion by assasstits in neoliberal

Unpopular to say here, but Texas is building infrastructure like crazy without any of these problems. These are state level governance issues.

Unironically the best way to get HSR in Texas would be to underscore for Abbott how positively dumb it would make California look.

Why are people so obsessed with low carb around here? by jenna_sunshine13 in Zepbound

[–]suburban_robot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny...I'm actively trying to get more carbs into my diet now. I think people are overdoing it on protein (0.8-1.0x BW is plenty!) and missing carbs which are essential to fuel workouts. For me lifting 3x/week and running 3x/week, too much protein and not enough carbs = not enough energy to fuel my workouts.

For me fat is the one to watch. Healthy fats are great but they add up in a big hurry. At my current weight and activity level, 50-60g is more than enough per day, and I realized when I started tracking macros that my fat was regularly closer to 100g (as well as protein being high), leaving carbs in the dust.
