Sunshine State

Brzinom svetlosti nadjene pare i izglasano: "After a weeklong delay, the Senate voted Thursday to pass a $40 billion military, economic and humanitarian aid package for Ukraine as its bloody war with Russia neared the three-month mark" Isti taj senat, koji vec dve godine "nema vremena ni para" za background check bill Ja sam mislila da US vec ima organizovanu "State militia", pa ne moramo mi gradjani da se samoorganizujemo u paravojne formacije Ili mislis da ce milioni "nas civila", kad pokupujemo oruzje, biti u stanju da organizujemo "A well regulated Militia" (being necessary to the security of a free State)?

- 2. amandman - ok, Ustav pisan pre 200 + godina, sto ne znaci da nije podlozan izmenama/dopunama, ako se okolnosti promene, kao sto su se promenile za ovih 200 godina - u tom istom amandmanu ne pise koju vrstu oruzja - ova cinjenica moze da se iskoristi, pa da se donesu novi zakoni koji dodatno pojasnjavaju sta se ukljucuje "keep and bear Arms" - tu onda ograniciti prodaju oruzja kao sto je AR15 svakom ko zeli (otac jedne zrtve iz Sandy Hook sinoc rece da je ubica iz Sandy Hook za 4 minute ispucao 150 rounds - da li bi to mogao s obicnim pistoljem) - Uvesti ozbiljan background check - ljudi sad mogu da kupe oruzje i preko interneta, i na nekim "sajmovima" oruzja i od privatnih lica - ovaj bill ceka approval od strane vec dve godine Uopste ne razumem zasto bi ovo gore bilo problem za vecinu normalnih ljudi i sta je tu nesto nerazumno? U Srbiji vam treba dozvola za pecanje - u US 18-godisnjak za rodjendan sebi kupi dva AR15 - neko veruje da mu treba da se brani of drzave? Sta je nenormalno/neprihvatljivo u, recimo, zahtevu Elona Muska: "He said he supports “tight” background checks for all gun purchases and special licenses for assault weapons." Nigde u 2. Amandmanu ne pise da to nije dozvoljeno

Treba dozvoliti da kupuju i tenkove i bazuke i bombe! Tako ce se jos sigurnije odbraniti od drzavne tiranije - zasto se zaustaviti na automatskom i poluautomatskom oruzju?

"For nearly a decade, his chief fight in Congress has been a campaign to pass universal gun background check legislation. Passed by the House, the bill has died repeatedly in the Senate. Thompson aimed harsh words Tuesday at those standing in its way. “What that boils down to is, there’s too many gutless senators sitting on their hands instead of taking action that will save lives,” said Thompson, the North Bay’s senior congressman." Thompson, a Vietnam War veteran and lifelong hunter, first introduced his universal background checks bill in 2013. It would close a long-standing loophole in existing laws by expanding background checks to those purchasing weapons over the internet, at gun shows and through certain private transactions. The House has passed it twice, most recently in March 2021. But it has languished in the Senate, where 60 members are needed to avoid a filibuster and advance the legislation to a vote. Rep. Thompson blasts ‘gutless’ GOP senators blocking gun background check bill after deadly Texas school shooting

Paul Krugman, American economist and public intellectual: "In a different time zone, so I woke up to the Uvalde news. As usual, the people making such things possible are demanding that we refrain from politicizing the horror. Hell no. Unrestricted access to deadly weapons is a political choice, and we should say it" "U drugoj vremenskoj zoni, pa sam se probudio sa vestima o Uvaldeu. Kao i obično, ljudi koji omogućavaju takve stvari zahtevaju da se uzdržimo od politizacije užasa. Do đavola ne. Neograničen pristup smrtonosnom oružju je politički izbor, i to treba da kažemo Da bismo zastitili sve potencijalno ranjive (skole, supermarkete, trzne centre) dakle, da bi se „očvrsnule ove mete“, na šta je Dan Patrik pozvao sinoć, bila bi potrebna vojna snaga veća od Korpusa marinaca, koji ima oko 180.000 pripadnika. I da, vojna sila; zapamtite, pancir"

Cekaj, da li je tebi stvarno noralno da 18-godisnjak ne moze da kupi pivo, ali moze da ode i kupi dva AR15? I da drzava ne moze nista da uradi po tom pitanju? Ono - uklesano u kamenu?

Odradjene i studije, nema sta da se mi pitamo - zna se sta racunaju u mass shootings, i evo i nekih info: A mass shooting is an incident of targeted violence carried out by one or more shooters at one or more public or populated locations. Multiple victims (both injuries and fatalities) are associated with the attack, and both the victims and location(s) are chosen either at random or for their symbolic value. The event occurs within a single 24-hour period, though most attacks typically last only a few minutes. The motivation of the shooting must not correlate with gang violence or targeted militant or terroristic activity.* "The stereotype of a mass shooter is a white male with a history of mental illness or domestic violence. While that may be anecdotally true, the largest single study of mass shooters ever funded by the U.S. government has found that nearly all mass shooters have four specific things in common. A new Department of Justice-funded study of all mass shootings — killings of four or more people in a public place — since 1966 found that the shooters typically have an experience with childhood trauma, a personal crisis or specific grievance, and a “script” or examples that validate their feelings or provide a roadmap. And then there’s the fourth thing: access to a firearm. Mass shootings have been increasing in frequency since 1966 1966-1975 12 mass shootings 2011-2020 160 mass shootings 95.7% of perpetrators were male 54.8% of perpetrators were white

Ne, nego ispada da treba da se uradi analiza koji avioni najvise padaju, zasto, kako.... pa izvuci zakljucke sta moze da se promeni/poboljsa da ne padaju

Ne, vec me u prici o masovnim ubistvima manje zanimaju ubistva pistoljima, pucali belci, crnci, Latinosi..... Sorry, ti si u pricu ubacio crnce, ne ja! Ja sam napisala gangs! Btw, vecinu mass shootings, koji su predmet razgovora, su pociinili belci, tako da me ne prozivas za rasizam

I automobili su odgovorniji za mnogo veci broj poginulih nego avioni - opet, kad padne avion pise se mnogo vise o tom, nego o svim automobilskim nesrecama zajedno Ubistva po Cikagu (gangs) me bas i ne zanimaju - zanima me koliko nevinih zrtava moze da ubije jedan ludak s pistoljem, a koliko jedan ludak s dva AR15?

Ne vidim zasto bi bilo kom civilu trebale "puske i mitraljezi"? Pistolj im nije dovoljan? Ograniciti prodaju oruzja samo na pistolje i neke lovacke puske, ako vec insistiraju na ustavnom pravu da nose oruzje - s njima ne mogu pobiti toliko ljudi odjednom. Prodati 18-godisnjaku AR15!!! Za cega? A photo of two AR15-style rifles appeared on an Instagram account tied to the suspected Uvalde shooter just three days before Tuesday’s massacre.

"The gunman, who was wearing body armor, crashed his car outside the school before going inside, Sgt. Erick Estrada of the Texas Department of Public Safety told CNN. He killed his grandmother before heading to the school with two military-style rifles he had purchased on his birthday, Gutierrez said. “That was the first thing he did on his 18th birthday,” he said. Pa kad nije mogao da kupi pivo, jer nema 21!! Sick, sick!!!

Seli se na Floridu!

Propustili najzanimljiviji komentar na ovu vest: "Mozda je polozio razliku predmeta"

Fernandel? Brat i ja smo gledali cikluse filmova i Hemfrija, a i Fernandela. Jos imam svesku s upisanim naslovima odgledanih filmova, tamo negde od kraja 70-ih do kraja 80-ih. Ideja dosla od tate - on je imao svoju svescicu s filmovima koje je kao srednjoskolac i student gledao u bioskopu

Easy come, easy go - Kako doslo, tako i otislo Barking dogs seldom bite - Pas koji laje ne ujeda The early bird catches the worm - Ko rano rani, dve srece grabi Birds of feather flock together - Slican se slicnom raduje (ili nesto drugacije?) Never Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth - Poklonu se u zube ne gleda

@urosg3 Kakav si? Jesi se ti testirao? Pozitivan? Ili samo bolestan?

"Cost an arm and a leg" - Kosta k'o Svetog Petra kajgana "Beating about the bush" ili "Beat about the bush" - Obilazi k'o kisa oko Kragujevca "A leopard can’t change his spots" - Vuk dlaku menja, ali cud nikad "Cry over spilt milk" - Ne vredi plakati za prosutim mlekom

Side effects pandemije: Sharp increase in toe, foot amputations during Covid pandemic "Broj amputacija stopala i prstiju u Holandiji naglo je porastao tokom pandemije. Povećanje nije zbog samog koronavirusa, već zato što su mnogi pacijenti sa dijabetesom prekasno otišli kod doktora, izvještava AD nakon razgovora sa Holandskim ortopedskim udruženjem. Ortopedi su primetili porast amputacija kod pacijenata sa dijabetesom. Pošto je pandemija koronavirusa odložila dosta redovne nege, mnogi pacijenti sa dijabetesom su ređe proveravali stopala. Neki su, dakle, razvili tešku infekciju, zbog čega je amputacija bila neizbežna." Tom nekom logikom, ni excess deaths nisu samo od covida, vec i zbog covida - koliko vremena ljudi u Srbiji nisu mogli kod lekara, koliko dugo su nam bolnice bile u covid sistemu? Ambulanta u koju moja mama ide nije radila vise od godinu dana od pocetka pandemije.... Koliko ljudi nije imalo para da ode kod privatnika, koliko njih je okasnilo s dijagnostikom, koliko njih nije moglo na redovne preglede....?

Vidi, nisam upucena detaljno u problematiku, ali u clanku se pominje i long covid - izuzetno je vazno razluciti i zakljuciti koji od prijavljivanih simptoma su iskljucivo od/zbog vakcine, a koji su (moguce i) zbog/od ong covida. Ja sam i vakcinisana i imala kovid dva puta - kako bih ja, sa sigurnoscu, mogla tvrditi da mi je bol u misicima (samo) zbog/od vakcine, a ne i zbog prelezanog covida?

Pa vasa vlada je i inace imala malo drasticniji pristup pandemiji nego neke druge - ja ne znam da su, recimo, u Holandiji insistirali na vakcinaciji dece. Promovisali jesu, ali nije bilo pod moranje. Mislim da je EMA odobrila negde u novembru 2021. Pfizer za decu od 5-11 godina, tako da nije ni bilo mnogo dece koja su vakcinisana.

Kad su pocele da se daju u tako velikim brojevima. Ne mogu klinicka ispitivanja uvek da daju 100 % pravu "sliku" sta ce se desavati kad se lek (ili vakcina ili device, itd) pusti "u promet". Cuven je slucaj leka Vioxx - samo takav blockbuster kad se pojavio.....da bi se nakon nekog vremena ustanovilo da upotreba ovog leka povecava smrtnost od kardiovaskularnih bolesti - infarkta i mozdanog udara. Povucen je s trzista 2004. i Merck mora da plati 4.85 milijardi dolara odstete!!! A zamisli koliko je kostalo klinicko ispitivanje da lek dodje uopste na trziste. Pa nemoj da budes - i dalje je benefit/risk odnos u korist vakcina 🙂

The reporting rate of myocarditis/pericarditis was higher following the second dose of mRNA vaccine than after the first dose, particularly for those receiving the Moderna vaccine as the second dose of the series (regardless of the product received for the first dose). The reporting rate for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 6.4 per million doses administered following first dose and 8.7 per million doses administered following second dose, for all age groups and genders combined. The reporting rate for the Moderna vaccine was 6.6 per million doses administered following first dose and 28.2 per million doses administered following second dose, for all age groups and genders combined. The highest reporting rate of myocarditis/pericarditis was observed in males aged 18-24 years following second dose. The reporting rate in this group following the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine as second dose was 37.4 per million doses and was 263.2 per million following the Moderna vaccine as second dose.
