This story is about wafers, but new wafer production facilities are also being announced. The glut of the orders being for 300mm wafers may be related to the new factories.

Yeah, I don’t know that this means that there will be shortages going that long. They’re just trying to cover their asses.

We’ll see. This is an intersection that doesn’t typically happen. A decision will have to be made.

I mean,... its mostly because the police tend to be heavily right wing, so they respond to right wing protestors in a fundamentally different manner...

Not that it solves today’s problems,... but the real solution was not to allow private businessmen to literally monopolize the border crossing for almost 100 years. It’s almost like allowing this grift to continue due to deference towards private business eventually has consequences.

I don’t think that’s even the case,... It’s more that successful artists make enough money to be able to buy their rights back from the studios. Artists giving up control over their music has been happening since the 50's.

What do you think, 50 comes with an AARP card and an immediate reversal of all opinions in favor of old-person stereotypes?

I’m not even a motorcycle rider, so I don’t even have a valid opinion on the bikes themselves, but I think that even if the desire is there, unless something changes there might not be enough people who can afford to buy the products that make them profitable.

The idea that there is some quantitative measure of judicial candidates that would allow them to just throw them all in an excel file and sort by “most qualified” is the entire problem.

So,... In short, I blame the Writer’s Guild for all of this michegoss.........

It gives people the opportunity to see them on the TV without the words “potential indictment” close by. It doesn’t take the other stuff away, but it creates some space for the “nice guy that just screwed up” narrative to creep in.

I’m pretty sure the attorney-client privilege question can be answered after the fact. They can seize anything that might be relevant to the investigation and then investigators can cull things that they find to be privileged and then it can be further hashed out before the judge before it gets to a grand jury. The…

They’re actually not,... but they are still part of the evil capitalist media oligopoly, or something like that.

When was the last time the existence or contents of The Masked Singer crossed your mind or made headlines on any of the websites that you frequent?

People like Alex Jones are saying that there are 1,000,000 truckers protesting in Canada,... which is funny, since Canada only has like 300,000 truckers in total.

The number of times I’ve read the whole “Nazi’s were leftist” or “fascism is leftist” argument leads me to believe that it isn’t taught or isn’t taught well.

...So why are there so many Nazi and Confederate flags at these protests? They obviously IDENTIFY with those groups.

Almost the entirety of both sides of the US Civil War were racist by any reasonable definition of the word. The North was slightly less so in that they wanted to end slavery. The states that would become the confederacy didn’t even have Lincoln on the ballot... so the idea that by ex post facto association with the…

You can. You can also take time during your many new conferences to address them.

Yes. Beat the shit out of the Nazi. Kick them out. Let people snap a picture of your people beating the shit out of a Nazi.
