guess race the correlation bw % of negros and homicide rates is almost perfect White Americans have Scandinavian homicide rates, senseless murder is a nigger thing (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5757822&forum_id=2#49155124)
in case anyone is reading this stupid piece of shit thinking he's citing facts, LMAO.... as a reminder, he's just a worthless hack, a subhuman troll. lying on a Web 1.0 board is all he does with his life...
SPOILER, it's not even close, and the fact that he thought his lie was believable demonstrates the mental rot of this inferior subhuman.
facts:
The homicide rate in Sweden has fluctuated over the past two decades but has generally remained around 1 per 100,000 inhabitants. In 2023, the rate was 1.15, with 124 homicides reported. This followed a peak in 2020 at 1.2 per 100,000. In 2024, the number of homicides dropped to 92, the lowest since 2014, largely due to reduced gang-related gun violence following increased police surveillance and new powers like electronic eavesdropping. Despite this decline, Sweden’s homicide rate, particularly gun-related deaths, remains higher than many EU countries, driven by gang violence in urban areas like Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö. Historically, the rate was lowest in 2012 at 0.71 per 100,000. Note that Swedish statistics initially include all investigated deaths as potential homicides, which may inflate reported numbers compared to countries with stricter classifications.
In 2023, the homicide rate among white Americans was 3.9 per 100,000, according to CDC mortality data. This is notably lower than the national homicide rate of 7.1 per 100,000 for the same year. For white males, the rate was 5.7 per 100,000, and for white females, it was significantly lower, though specific figures for females alone are less commonly isolated in the data. Firearms were used in 70.1% of homicides involving white victims, compared to higher rates for other racial groups. These figures reflect a broader trend where homicide rates for white Americans have remained relatively stable over recent years, with a slight decline noted in some studies from 2021 to 2023. |
Date: August 4th, 2025 11:21 AM Author: OldHLSDude I still miss Fry's. I used to go the Fry's in Palo Alto on Saturday morning and bump into many men I knew, most of whom were shopping for computer parts. Hardly any women in those days. Then I frequented the one in Tempe until it closed. Sad day. The closest thing to it might be Harbor Freight. Different stuff, but a "guy" store, more or less. Where else can you go for the emergency purchase of a 3 Ton Super Heavy Duty Long Ram Flat Bottom Hydraulic Jack for $60? I have used it once so far, but when I needed it, I really needed it.

Sometimes I would walk over there on weekends just to browse all the weird shit they sold. It was basically Disneyland for autistic nerds.

Date: August 4th, 2025 11:45 AM Author: OldHLSDude As time went by they seemed to have more and more consumer electronics/appliance stuff. In the old days a lot of the store was component level electronics. They had a nice selection. Not as comprehensive as the Allied Radio catalog, but a lot.

Date: August 4th, 2025 12:47 PM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... My recollection was that they had an impressive supply of both consumer electronics and components. If you wanted to build a computer from scratch, they had all the parts you needed. But I could also buy a laptop (or a fan or a refrigerator) there.

Date: August 4th, 2025 1:31 PM Author: OldHLSDude That's right, but in the 90s I think they had less consumer stuff and more components. I moved within range of a Fry's in 1989 when we went to Palo Alto. I think the original store might have been in Sunnyvale. Online killed them. I suppose the hobbyist community might have moved over to software also, but I really don't know. Seems like soldering has been replaced by coding (still hard for me to say that instead of programming). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5758048&forum_id=2...id.#49155472) |

Date: August 4th, 2025 1:32 PM Author: OldHLSDude Fry's was much more sophisticated and diverse in its inventory than Radioshack. Toward the end their consumer electronics selection was like Best Buy. No Realistic stuff! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5758048&forum_id=2...id.#49155481) |
