The three large, urban counties with the lowest homicide rates were San Jose, California; Anaheim, California; San Diego, California; in 2023 with less than 7 homicides per 100K population.

Tucson, Arizona, had a reported violent crime rate of 47.74 per 100k and drop to 54 homicides overall, (about 5 per 100k) reportedly a big improvement in 2025. So it seems Tuscon has actually commenced a trend toward safety. A single incident could blow that out though with 1.1M pop.
Best to stay home until it reaches something like London in the UK 1.1 per 100k.

Without all those "restrictions" the attacker would probably have had a gun, used it, and the problem would have solved itself as passers-by opened up by kinetically demonstrating their rights patriotically. The surviving passengers, if any, naturally, would have already commenced a return barrage of their own to suppress the incoming.

The passers-by and onlookers would of course have shot at the armed passengers in the car in a defensive move as they well might have fired first and appeared to be the aggressor perpetrating a casual drive by shootup.
Many are likely to have shot as well at the now armed lunatic attacking the robot car as clearly a large moving target will always catch the eye.
This division of effort may then have been interpreted as gang warfare, with the invested general public breaking up into factions to return fire at other armed and aggressive passers by.

The arrival of the police could then have become the focus of the now all out warfare, with their own likely defensive response being 360 all round weight of fire drills designed to suppress the incoming.

Ther is a name for this entirely predictable sequence of events: Turesday, Ocala, Florida.

I'm pretty sure the DOGE checks will cover all these inconveniences when they arrive.
$205B split into checks for every American will be a holdover, until the new tariff checks are posted.
At the moment that is expected to be $171B this year, but will increase as the HOT economy stands up.
So a massive check every year!

Nobody will have to work anymore because China/Europe/India/Mexico and maybe 190 other countries are paying Americans to stay at home and get rich.
It's a fairytale come true!!

You know a lot of very smart people are saying that price fixing should only be done by the seller and if the seller wants to change the agreed price during or after the deal that's the kind of great deal people want and talk about all the time. Under Biden we had people that didn't want great deals from electric airlines that sometimes, landed amongst sharks sometimes and it's because the corrupt Democrats and Canadians are stopping the 51st State that a lot of good people want and know we need to make nasty Mexico great again. I don't sign this with an autopen and that is the real problem instead of Epstein who I hardly even knew.

Whataboutism at its finest!

It's not like the US has ever been attacked by other countries or their agents, right?

"Thousands of years"?
Ruzzia isn't much older than the USA.

Stop your moaning. The world is an exciting place to live right now. Get out there and live it.

Could somebody with a bit of actual knowledge advise why I should worry about the activity of chemicals that are non-reactive to the extent that they are labelled "forever"?

Funny how you rashist bot-farm babies think this bullshit has any effect!

The standard ruzzbot whataboutism in play here. You and your whole country are one big fail that should be wiped away like the shit-stain it is.

You are an actual ignorant twat by choice, the worst kind of person on the planet.

Your bubble of bullshit has cut off everything to your brain but air and that is really a shame. Just get out and actually open your little piggy eyes and get away from the FSB narratives. What is with you stupid conspiracy theorists?

On the bright side, those insurrectionists will never read this article.

They will still gather together dressed head to toe in 2nd hand camo in a tight clump in the middle of the city square.
This, they believe, is the correct use of camouflage. Stand out from a crowd and look frightening!

They will have a very short, but very exciting, revolution.

Beach sands are also radioactive as they contain thorium and uranium. Nobody gives a shit about lieing down on a beach though. And....there is no reason to give a shit either.

Fake story planted at Reuters today.

Who would think that an organisation that can plant a spy at the head of the NRA can plant a story at Reuters?
The journalist they used is shit-bag anti-west, anti-USA money grubber.

FSB standard tactic.

Gonna be lots of posts by the IRA troll-bot army today.

It's not about the height or otherwise it would be built on a mountain.

There are more factors in play:

Wind velocity and reliability are more predictable over the ocean where there the "friction layer" is less in play and doesn't extend to the same height as over land. Nominally the layer is universally accepted as extending to 2000 feet above land (in reality it varies enormously between say forest and deserts).

The main advantage of long blades is the efficiency that arises from the massive increase in volume of moving air harvested.
Air moving through the circular blade sweep can be thought of as the volume of a cylinder over any measured time interval.
Pi*r ^2H gives the volume of that cylinder. It's the radius squared that matters. The rest are constants in any sample set. If the blade length (r) of 2 units is compared to one of 4 units then the harvested energy is from 4 volumes vs 16 volumes.

TLDR: Long blades give gigantic increases in efficiency but they're a bitch to make, attach to turbines and then to survive in the real world. (Also they apparently rate in energy production dick-measuring competitions. This may be more important to some investors.)

OMG You really are as stupid as people have said over the years. What made you decide to come out and fully declare your short-suite now?

Well to be fair, after the US blows your embassy in Serbia to shit because you had a few parts of a Nighthawk in the cellar, it probably cools the ardour for adventure.
It's not like they wouldn't be able to get anything they want from other sources anyway.

Don't forget the Russians license the tech for the B model. They probably know a few things about it.

The "heat" leaves the planet constantly as radiated energy. The radiated energy that heats the planet is all, but an infinitesimal amount, arriving constantly from the Sun.

The Earth radiates heat. Look up black body radiation.

The atmosphere reduces the rate at which heat leaves the planet (amongst a few other things). It is a complex picture, but a number of the elements that make up the atmosphere have different effects on the rate of heat dispersion. Water vapour has the greatest effect but it is not alone. Small changes in the amount of other atmospheric elements have the effect of changing the rate of dispersion which is in a rough equilibrium.

An example that is easy to follow is to pick a station in a desert and observe the difference between maximum and minimum temperatures in any 24 hour period. Compare it to a coastal station at roughly the same latitude. The rate differs greatly between the stations.
The atmosphere varies greatly in its composition both horizontally and vertically. Therefore to measure the effect, you have to sample many points simultaneously and then use extrapolation and statistics to get an idea of what is happening globally.

It can be argued that the atmosphere is the greatest part of that which keeps the earth average temperature at approx 15 deg C. By changing the makeup of the atmosphere you can move that average up or down.

Reversing the calculations to predict what will happen at one of the locations that data was sampled from, if the average was to change slightly, is as near as impossible a task as trying to explain facebook to a group of mini-goats gambolling around a peak in the Alps.

The first part is hard enough but the concept of accurate predictions of change is harder. Not impossible to predict more broad effects but not easy.
