Reply to comment by N8CCRG in Ultramassive black hole over 30 billion times mass of our sun has been spotted. The discovery had been made possible thanks to a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing — the first time a black hole has been spotted in such a way. by Wagamaga
I mean it’s like mass of 1/3 of stars in the Milky Way assuming each is 1 sol. When you got all these big bois in a small room it’s gonna be like a clash of the titans. It’s not inconceivable that the early universe could accommodate that mergerpalooza scenario.perhaps some shot off and became the galactic cores of most galaxies.

Reply to comment by Top_Of_Gov_Watchlist 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
I'm a little confused at what you are asking. As I wrote, the data is exclusively for victims ages 0 - 5. Knowing that, what do you mean by justified homicide? I honestly don't really know what a justified homicide is for any age group and I don't think they really distinguish that from other homicides in the stats, but for the topic at hand let's focus only on 0-5.

The first line of OPs......
> For the appx. 1100 firearm deaths that occurred among ages 0-5 between 2010 - 2020:
Maybe you should read it again.

It’s a hundred thousand light years wide Bulging in the middle 16 thousand light years thick But by us it’s just 3 thousand light years wide

Those are for controlling clostridium in the environment/foods, not in the body.

Do chronic alcoholics get MS less often then?

Could these ultra-massive black holes be the source of the extra unseen mass in the universe that is attributed to dark matter?

And that's what I was attempting to clarify from the person who I was directing the comment towards which wasn't the OP.... it wasn't clear what the stats they randomly posted were.
Now feel free to stop commenting to me. You have been rude for no reason.

It's that weird "law" part we're struggling with. The government doing anything is communism, you see.

Number 26 to do so. Twenty sixth state. Far from just Florida.

In mice.
This study was done on mice. I have MS, stop omitting this, it gives people suffering from the disease false hope.

Astronauts in low earth orbit still feel like they are falling the whole time. Orbit means your velocity perpendicular to the action of gravity matches the rate you would be falling otherwise, resulting in you following a circular path/orbit around the object.
Same principle the vomit comet plane uses, except parallel to earths gravity instead of perpendicular. The plane loses altitude at the same rate you would fall due to gravity, so inside the cabin it’s as if you are weightless. But you feel the acceleration the whole time.

I agree that removing guns from the equation isn't going to fix any of the core, underlying, societal, problems, nor will it ever make violence magically vanish from society.
It will, however, significantly reduce the ability of individuals to murder, threaten, wound and intimidate each other, as well as significantly reducing the suicide rate. people are still going to be able to attack others with fists, with a baseball bat, with knives. But the number of people ending up dead or maimed from those attacks will be significantly lower, and the number of mass shootings carried out in schools etc would drop like a rock.
Some of the volume of gun violence will merely shift to other forms of violence, but far less of that will be fatal, and the overall level of violence in society will almost certainly drop significantly as well.

Yes, practically speaking, but under a steep enough gravitational gradient you can no longer ignore the difference between, for example, the gravity acting on your head versus your feet. Or one end of a structure versus another. That's what causes "spaghettification" for example.
However in this case the gravitational gradient is still pretty shallow, as far as I can tell.

As the commenter prefaced and the study above states, those and all other statistics presented were for children ages 0-5.
