"Firearms" is a vague term. At the very least, there are multiple interpretations and usages of it, some which have it cover just about any weapon that produces fire or fire-like heat. Thus, nukes could qualify under such a reading.

Someday a politician may promise "A chicken in every pot, and a nuke in every garage".

I meant before.

And that is why it failed...

Over time we seem to be generally learning that our planet is rather unique in terms of our moon size, formation steps, and specific position in the "right kind" of galaxy per heavier elements and stellar explosion danger.

However, the flip side is that we've been learning how tenacious and flexible life is.

Thus, while matches to our particular circumstances may be rare, there may also be more than one path to sophisticated life.

For example, large Earth-sized moons of gas giants, oceans of mid-sized gas giants, and tidally-locked rocky planets around red dwarfs may also be able to harbor complex life.

Which one would get me jailed there?

Angle 1: "Your claim is a steaming pile of shit!"

Angle 2: "Your logic resembles the quickly-disintegrating chemical bonds as found in recently-emerging solid waste products of typical mammals."

The "Left" and the "Right" are both the "Same" - e.g. "the ruling class".
Voters are just the "little people".

Notice how power shifts from one to the other and they keep adding bricks, each to their own wall, but neither side takes down bits the other side has put up?

Someday, the walls will meet and you will be on the outside...

Why not just a warning light and/or sound for the driver? Having it directly control the speed is both extra cost and extra risk.

Fat Client = Fat Holes. Fat luck fixing em all.

Is your name T-Rex?

Jupiter and Saturn shall be sentenced to death for deviating from the approved Stellar System Standards, which has resulted in the formation of humans and other pestilences.

but do you expect us to use the US wouldn't use spying for commercial advantage if they had a chance?

Guilty until proven innocent?

These two are exactly the same. Claiming otherwise is just exceptionalism.

Sorry, I don't see it that way. I expect all nations to spy for political and military reasons and I don't blame them for doing it. But the gov't spying for commercial advantage of non-military products is a different issue.

From another perspective, if a nation is caught cheating, they have no right to ask for open-trade status. If a gov't does commercial spying, they forfeit their claim on open-trade. Thus, you can view it as a trade-off choice rather than a "sin".

I'm not talking about spying, but of interfering with commerce.

Amen! The lobbyists and "campaign contributors" slipped in lopsided trade slice by slice starting around the mid 1960's. Polls of citizens consistently showed voters ambivalent about lopsided trade. It's being blindsided in slow motion.

Eat well. Exercise

"Eat, drink, and be merry" is somehow more catchy, though.

Calories generally come from one of these three: carbohydrates, fats/oils, and protein. If one eats less carbs overall, then they have to increase the other two (to feel satiated).

Increasing protein is out for reasons already given. That leaves only fats/oils to increase.

Your calorie "math" seems off.
