I've been a MS products fan since Windows Phone, Cortana, and OneNote stole my heart. I loved the great features that Windows 10 and Edge provided out-of-the box. Bing provided better results than Google for some time.

But Phone was never accepted by the market, and with it, Cortana faded away. OneNote hasn't kept up with the market, and they somehow broke the cursor on mobile. Sticky Notes lost compatibility with Dark Mode. They started pushing ads to Windows start menu, and embedded ads in Edge Collections.

Microsoft makes great software, then fuck it all up. Oh well, back to Linux.

Maybe she's scared. Maybe she's hesitant. Maybe she was in a really bad relationship. Maybe it's health problems. Maybe she's not interested after all. No way to know what's going on in her head, even if you ask. If I were in your shoes I'd say, "hey. I'm feeling mixed signals because of xyz. I'd still like to do this but if you don't want to, that's okay too. If it's only that you're not ready, just let me know when you are."

Yes. I think it's especially important for attracting (or perhaps more accurately, maintaining) new users to the fediverse.

Like I said your original request (statistics of "legal" CCW permit holder, without premeditation, discharging a firearm, in California) is incredibly specific, making it very difficult to find quality research. But here's what I was able to find for you:

Johns Hopkins has this: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/study-finds-significant-increase-in-firearm-assaults-in-states-that-relaxed-conceal-carry-permit-restrictions

This one includes some good details as to why these studies are challenging, and what causes errors in the data: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/concealed-carry/violent-crime.html

Here's a summary from GVPedia (note the sources in the footnotes): https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/GVPedia-Permitless-Carry-Factsheet-Feb2022.pdf

Hopes this helps.

It's not even an innovative design. It's a DeLorean mashed with the futuristic Ford seen in the Hill Valley town square in Back to the Future 2.

I'd love to see manufacturers take a more retro-futurism approach. Then they can do physical buttons AND interesting aesthetics.
