Reply to comment by fitzroy95 in Firearms deaths involving preschool-aged children had increased at an alarmingly high rate in the United States in the past decade, but state laws may help curb shooting deaths among young children. by Wagamaga
How exactly are Republicans putting more guns in the streets? A majority of surges in gun sales are a result of talks of gun control. For example right now in Washington guns are selling like crazy specifically because the state just passed an assault weapons ban.
Notably the study doesn’t say anything about assault weapons bans, which are the number one driver of gun sale frenzies.
And one of the countermeasures mentioned in this study is red flag laws, which have very questionable legality. They’re laws that allow a judge to order police to search and seize an individual’s property without a warrant or probable cause.

I couldn't read much because if the giant privacy banner with the "manage cookies" button hidden behind my screen controls. Very short article with a lot of possibly vague phrases. Can someone paste the entire thing?

Bruen is going to end all of it though. It strips the states ability to enact their own gun control legislation.
Which is completely against the whole independent state legislature theory but hypocrisy has never been an issue for conservatives.

Reply to Vegan diets benefit health, but only if they're healthy. Study found a healthy vegan diet was linked to lower risk of heart disease, cancer and premature death, compared with non-vegan diets. N=125,000 by MistWeaver80
No surprise here. A whole-foods, plant-based diet is the way to go. Highly refined foods are the enemy. Eating Oreos and potato chips is vegan but not healthy. Vegan nuggies are delicious but not healthy. Eat a wide variety of whole foods for health, and avoid processed crap and soft drinks.

And the studies linking gut bacteria to anxiety/panic-disorder too. So much to learn about gut bacteria.

MS'er here, hoping it goes somewhere as well.
Have an easy day.

For the appx. 1100 firearm deaths that occurred among ages 0-5 between 2010 - 2020:
"Non-Hispanic Blacks comprised 56.4% of all deaths in 2020, a 172% increase from 2010 and the rate for non-Hispanic Whites increased by 15.4% from 2010 to 2020. The majority of the deaths occurred in the South. Almost two-thirds (65.9%) of all firearm deaths were homicides, 30% were unintentional, and 4.1% were undetermined."
This is a very focused, political problem that primarily affects the people the government cares about the least, almost exclusively in places the government will not lift a finger to help. Not much can be done by people not in those locations except point out the problem.

Still not the biggest black hole we know of. That would be Ton 618, weighing in at 66 billion suns. 30 billion is still ridiculously huge though. There are galaxies with less mass than that.

> A cool theory is that when the universe was young, dense, and hot, enormous stars formed that were so massive their cores compressed into black holes.
Sounds a lot like my teenage years.

About 1000 AU. For comparison, the distance from Sun to Pluto is 39 AU, and the Oort cloud spans from 2000 to 100 000 AU.

This accountant is unsurprised.
Ever since citizens united, corporations and rich people became king of the land.
They're not super fond of regulations, enforcement, and taxes
