Sunshine State

Za sad ne nalazim. Inace, odluka je doneta predsednickom proklamacijom u oktobru 2021. - ne znam ko/kako ukida takve odluke "This proclamation governs the entry into the United States of noncitizen nonimmigrants — that is, noncitizens who are visiting the United States or otherwise being admitted temporarily — traveling to the United States by air. It suspends the entry of unvaccinated noncitizen nonimmigrants, except in limited circumstances, and it ensures that the entry of unvaccinated noncitizen nonimmigrants is consistent with applicable health and safety determinations made by the Director of the CDC, including a requirement that, where appropriate, such individuals agree and arrange to become fully vaccinated against COVID-19 upon their arrival. "

Da, mada ima nekih izuzetaka - npr. ako imas medicinsku potvrdu da ne smes da primis vakcinu (a da ne nabrajam one sve izuzetke s odredjenim tipovima viza, itd...)

Urme, Kuvajt, egzoticno voce.... Mislim, cemu ovo u prici o cenama u US na temi o US? Kao sto i napisah, zivim i u US i u dve EU drzave i uporedila sam neke common proizvode, nisam pricala o kavijaru, egzoticnim vockama, jastozima...vec o najobicnijim jabukama - kao sto vidim, par forumasa koji zive u US se slozilo s mojim upisom. Odakle potreba tebe i Jezabel da sirite pricu van tog konteksta - ne znam (a i ne marim...)

Go Bolts!!! TAMPA, Fla (AP) — Steven Stamkos scored two goals and the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning are headed to the Stanley Cup Final for the third straight year after beating the New York Rangers 2-1 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final on Saturday night. A krenuli traljavo, izgubili prve dve u NY...

Ne brini ti sta Sunshine jede na Floridi, ali nije bas imalo smisla da poredim cene egzotike Ili hoces reci da se jabuke ne jedu po Evropi, vec svi jedu egzoticno voce? Kupuju jackfruit na gajbe?

Unajmicu neku investment company nek uloze u nesto 😄

Ne ljutim se, kazem kako je - zivim izmedju cetiri drzave i mogu da uporedim iz prve ruke. 2007. je Evropa bila preskupa u odnosu na US - situacija se za 15 godina promenila na stetu US. Mislim da je poenta Draganovog komentara da ljudi koji zaradjuju prosecno/ispodprosecno u US, tesko mogu zdravo da se hrane. Regulativa sto se hrane tice u US je mnogo labavija nego u EU; u US se brasno bleach-uje (izbeljuje), antibiotici u mleku, mesu su vrlo cesti.....to sve nije slucaj s EU. Edit: stoga, u US, ako se hranis jeftinije (ako jedino tako mozes da se prehranis) kupovaces hranu losijeg kvaliteta. U EU, i najjeftinija hrana je prosla stroge regulative

Evo ja ti dam pare, a ti idi u Tampu, FL i kupi mi po tim cenama, dobices i 20 % tips!!

Cene su uzasne! Za kilogram najobicnijih jabuka ti moras da platis $ 5 i vise. Neko sam ko jede bas mnogo voca, pa primetim ogromne razlike u cenama izmedju, recimo, US i NL - u US je pound (manje od 0.5 kg) npr. grozdja oko $ 3 (nista organic, nista specijalno) - kilogram je vise od $ 6.... U NL mozes za 2 € da kupis kilogram. Slicno je i s povrcem - najobicniji krompir kilogram je preko $ 3. Zamisli porodicu od cetvoro, s prosecnim primanjima - koliko im voca i povrca treba na dan? U proseku po pola kilograma voca i pola kilograma povrca po osobi - dnevno samo za to treba $ 15 - 20 .....a gde je meso, gde su mlecni proizvodi, etc.. i to najobicnije meso (ne organic, vec "antibiotsko"). Nasi prijatelji, porodice sa 2 dece, vecina njih kaze da mesecno potrose najmanje $ 2000 na hranu (hrane se kvalitetno, kupuju organsko, kuvaju....) Secam se 2007. kad sam se preselila iz US u Nemacku - Nemacka je bila dva puta skuplja od US....sad je US dva puta skuplja (ne pricam o krpicama, njih mozes naci jeftino, ali bez njih mozes, ne moras svaki dan kupovati - hranu moras)

Ne secam se da je neko trazio potpunu zabranu - ovde se prica o boljoj regulaciji i sta je potrebno i moguce uraditi na tom polju

A nekako ovo dvoje ide jedno uz drugo: "AR-15 style rifles have played a prominent role in many high-profile mass shootings in this country, and have come to be widely characterized as the weapon of choice for these crimes. AR-15s or similar rifles were the primary weapons used in around half of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern American history, including the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the 2015 San Bernardino attack, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting and the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. And now, Uvalde and Buffalo." Divan rezultat...

Ali je svakako faktor koji treba uzeti u obzir, uz sve ostale faktore koji uticu na porast kriminala U ovoj konkretnoj problematici upravo je politicka pobeda cilj - ne vidim sta je "najbolji rezultat" ako je AR15 u slobodnoj prodaji? Zaboravih - ako 18-ogodisnjak moze u vojsku/rat, malo je glupo ne dozvoliti mu da sme da kupi i pivo

Hajde ovako da pitam - a sta dobijamo dozvoljavanjem AR 15?

@Angelia iz tvojih postova na forumu nam je poznato da imas sina, sad je na fakultetu, znaci neke rane 20-e Sta bi mu rekla da je s 18 godina dosao kuci s dva AR-15? Da li bi ti to bilo normalno? Pokusavam da shvatim zasto je ovde problem u onom sto pise Baby, Zoran, ja.... - zasto je nekom normalnom coveku problem da se postrozi regulacija kupovine oruzja u US? Koji deo ovog sto pisemo ti se ne dopada: ozbiljniji background check, povecanje starosne granice za odredjeno oruzje, strogo regulisana prodaja odredjene vrste oruzja, federalna baza podataka o vlasnicima oruzja....? Kako ce bilo sta od ovog ugroziti law abiding citizens pri kupovini oruzja?

Nisu naveli, ali obzirom na mali broj ispitanika (subjects) lici na 2. fazu (1. faza ide na zdravim ljudima, 2. faza na malom broju bolesnih (indikacija koja se ispituje), 3. faza je na vecem broju bolesnih, i 4. faza je postmarketing, kad je lek vec odobren i na "trzistu")

Dok se po svetu, uglavnom, cuju ruzne vesti, evo i jedne lepe, obecavajuce: Every Single Patient in This Small Experimental Drug Trial Saw Their Cancer Disappear "In what appears to be a very promising breakthrough for the treatment of rectal cancer, a small drug trial conducted in the US found every patient treated in the experiment had their cancer successfully go into remission. The medication given, called dostarlimab and sold under the brand name Jemperli, is an immunotherapy drug used in the treatment of endometrial cancer, but this was the first clinical investigation of whether it was also effective against rectal cancer tumors. The early results reported so far suggest it is surprisingly effective, with the research team saying the successful cancer remission seen in every trial patient may be unprecedented for a cancer drug intervention. "I believe this is the first time this has happened in the history of cancer," medical oncologist Luis Diaz Jr. from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), the senior author of a new paper reporting the results" "U onome što se čini veoma obećavajućim otkrićem u lečenju karcinoma rektuma, malo ispitivanje leka sprovedeno u SAD pokazalo je da je svaki pacijent lečen u eksperimentu uspešno ušao u remisiju. Lek koji se daje, nazvan dostarlimab i prodaje se pod brendom Jemperli, je lek za imunoterapiju koji se koristi u lečenju raka endometrijuma, ali ovo je bilo prvo kliničko istraživanje o tome da li je efikasan i protiv kancera rektuma. Rani rezultati koji su do sada prijavljeni sugerišu da je iznenađujuće efikasan, a istraživački tim kaže da uspešna remisija kancera koja se vidi kod svakog pacijenta u ispitivanju može biti bez presedana u lecenju kancera. „Verujem da je ovo prvi put da se ovo dogodilo u istoriji kancera“, rekao je medicinski onkolog Luis Diaz mlađi iz Memorijalnog centra za rak Sloun Ketering (MSK), stariji autor novog rada koji izveštava o rezultatima“

Hvala, draga Devojko, nisam bas jako strucna, mogu samo da nagadjam da sledeci faktori uticu na brojke (neki od njih, kombinacija njih ili, pak, svi): - sve veci broj ljudi koji su vec prelezali neke varijante covida - sve veci broj vakcinisanih - omikron je (sta god neki govorili) blaza varijanta i simptomi su (kod nekih) blazi, pa mozda i ne idu kod lekara/na testiranje

Mogucnost da se virus "razvije" u opasniju varijantu uvek postoji i tesko se moze, s velikom sigurnoscu, reci da li ce, kad ce, etc... Ono sto je dobro je da, uz ovakve nikakve mere (globalno) i uz visoko infektivnu varijantu, brojevi su i dalje u opadanju. Juce sam doputivala iz US u NL, na aerodromima (Orlando, Dublin, Amsterdam) maske nosi 10 % ljudi, u avionu mozda nekih 20 %. Jedino u Amsterdamu videh jednog Kineza u "punoj covid opremi"

Rekla sam da sam ja laik.....a ti pojasni ovima da AR nije mocnije oruzje od pistolja: "The AR-15 was given to law enforcement because more and more frequently police officers were encountering these types of weapons on the street and finding that they were outgunned. One example that springs to mind is the famous 1997 North Hollywood, California, shootout at the Bank of America. In that incident, two individuals clad in body armor held up a bank in the Los Angeles neighborhood. Police who responded at the scene literally had to run to a nearby gun store to purchase more powerful weapons, because they were using 9 mm pistols, while the bad guys were armed with semi-automatic rifles." The bullet fired by the AR-15 is capable of defeating the average police officer's body armor, like a knife slicing through butter. SWAT teams and some of the more specialized units typically are equipped with level IV Kevlar or steel-plated armor, which would stop maybe two or three direct hits, but eventually body armor breaks down after being hit with multiple rounds. A person wielding an AR-15 has a range beyond 300 yards. For an officer armed with a 9 mm pistol, hitting a target beyond 50 yards is going to be difficult, even for the most accomplished marksman. A bullet fired by an AR-15 travels at three times the velocity as one fired by a 9 mm handgun. And magazines that can feed dozens of rounds into the weapon in the space of minutes clearly were meant for use only on the battlefield." Btw, ti si u pricu uveo automatsko oruzje - evo citam postove na ovoj strani i pisemo o semi-automatic, poluautomatskom oruzju. Zamoljavam da nadjes gde smo spominjali automatsko oruzje

I Rick Scott (FL guverner od 2011 - 2019) i senator Rubio su republikanci, pa je Florida ipak uspela da poostri zakon o oruzju (s 18 na 21) "Changes included the first significant change to Florida's gun ownership laws in years. After Parkland, with bipartisan support and signed by Republican Gov. Rick Scott. Florida raised the minimum age to own any gun in Florida to 21 years old. The law also imposed a three-day waiting period to purchase a gun." Najmocnija drzava na svetu nema dovoljno fabrika decje hrane/formule (Abott zatvoren zimus zbog bakterije u decjoj formuli), pa im sad salju pomoc iz Evrope 😞 "Nestlé flies baby formula supplies to US from Netherlands, Switzerland to combat shortage" Kao Afrika! 😞

Vecina mass shootings su pocinjena ovim: "Several characteristics of the AR-15 make it dangerous in the wrong hands. It is a semi-automatic firearm, meaning it can be fired repeatedly — once for each pull of the trigger. And it can be reloaded in seconds by removing its cartridge magazine and replacing it with a loaded one." Nisam poznavalac oruzja (kad je tata umro, vratili njegov pistolj u policiju), ali po onom sto citam (i broju zrtava u ovim mass shootings) ocito je relativno "mocno" oruzje

Pa definisali su oni neke stvrari vrlo jasno - pitanje je zasto ne mogu da promene neke stvari sad? Does a customer have to be a certain age to buy firearms or ammunition from a licensee? Yes. Under the Gun Control Act (GCA), shotguns and rifles, and ammunition for shotguns or rifles may be sold only to individuals 18 years of age or older. All firearms other than shotguns and rifles, and all ammunition other than ammunition for shotguns or rifles may be sold only to individuals 21 years of age or older. Licensees are bound by the minimum age requirements established by the GCA regardless of state or local law. However, if state law or local ordinances establish a higher minimum age for the purchase or disposition of firearms, the licensee must observe the higher age requirement." Isto kao sto je neko resio da doda "rifles" u ovaj akt, moze se isti i izbaciti iz akta; pa, eto, bar od neceg da krenemo. Sto se tice ovih zabrinutih za samoodbranu vlasnika - ja imam par prijatelja u US koji u tu svrhu imaju oruzje - niko nema AR.

Opinion: This is what happened when 3 nations that experienced mass shootings did something about it Niko nece dirati 2.amandman, u kom svakako NE pise da "bear arms" podrazumeva da je "arms" poluatomatsko oruzje (malo ko se s njim brani od pljacke); evo, ja hocu da branim kucu od lopova bazukom - hoce li mi je dati? Ako ne - zasto ne? Pa i to je arms! U 2. amandmanu nije pobrojano na koja se oruzja misli - neko bi mogao da trazi i top - imao bi isto pravo kao i onaj sto hoce pistolj ili AR

Ne plasim se ni ja - da se plasim, ne bih nikud mrdala. Napisala sam da sam pomislila, dok sam se setala, sta bi bilo da se desi nesto kao u, recimo, Buffalo....takve misli mi, recimo, nikad nisu pale na pamet u Evropi. Isto tako napisah - bahatom komsiji u NL bez problema mogu/smem da kazem sta mi smeta; tako nesto mi (sad) ne pada na pamet u US, jer je velika verovatnoca da bahati komsija ima neko oruzje i nikad ne znas s kim imas posla. Isto i kad vozis - evo vam statistika, a vi nadjite za EU: "Angry Drivers, Lots of Guns: An Explosion in Road Rage Shootings “In the past, people curse one another, throw up the finger and keep moving,” Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston said in an interview. “Now instead of throwing up the finger, they’re pulling out the gun and shooting.” As more motorists seemed to be firing guns last year, the Dallas Police Department began tracking road rage shootings for the first time. The results were alarming: 45 people wounded, 11 killed." For its report on an increase in road rage shootings, the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety relied on the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that compiles data from government sources and media reports. The group found that more than 500 people had been injured or killed in reported road rage shootings last year, up from fewer than 300 in 2019. “The story that it’s telling is a definite and really worrying increase in incidents of road rage involving a gun,” said Sarah Burd-Sharps, the senior director of research at Everytown for Gun Safety. “Only in this country is someone shot and injured or killed every 17 hours in a road rage incident.”
