Police gun related killings of 1K per year are rolled into yearly firearm deaths. That would at least be 1K less on that chart. A definite win for removing firearms from law enforcement, the charts never lie. Also I have no idea if I'm

Intellij just seems so incredibly bloated and slow to me. I still think older Visual Studio versions (not vscode) as the high water mark for any IDE I've ever used. I remember lots of talk how intellisense might be harmful http:/
