"(Rep. Cunningham) asked (NOAA official Chris) Oliver to guess how much louder commercial air guns are than his store-bought air horn. When Oliver didn’t bite, he told him the sound from air guns is 16,000 times that of his air horn." washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
My heating was tested annually per FAA regs because hearing protection is required around jet aircraft. Jet engine noise is 120-135 dBA; that can cause permanent hearing loss. Imagine the damage and pain commercial airguns would wreak on marine life!
Please click on this link to see the dBA levels for different kinds of sounds, and how little it takes to cause partial to complete hearing loss. It can occur over time or quickly, but once hearing is lost it doesn't come back. dangerousdecibels.org/virtualexhibit…

TRUMP LANGUAGE LESSON: "While aboard AF1 with Trump and Rick Scott, Matt Gaetz said Scott was 'fumbling through his asks' of POTUS after opening a large notebook titled 'Issues to Discuss with the President on Air Force One.' 1/
Per Gaetz, the book was filled with maps and engineering drawings of Lake Okeechobee and materials concerning other water-related issues important to Florida. 2/
"'The president listens politely for about 30 seconds and then just looks at the governor, looks at me, looks back at the governor and then says, 'Isn't Matt Gaetz great on television?' Gaetz recalled. Scott closed the notebook." 3/

Like toxic chemicals in your drinking water? David Dunlap was hired by @EPA in OCT 2018. Has avoided a Senate confirmation hearing in which his prior Koch work experience might come up because Trump hasn't officially nominated anyone to fill the post.
vanityfair.com/news/2019/02/t…
Dunlap reportedly involved in high-level meetings that preceded @EPA's decision NOT to set drinking water limits for chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which “have been linked with kidney and testicular cancer, as well as other ailments.”
"According to Bloomberg, 'Koch Industries was assessed more than $400 million in fines, penalties, and judgments' between 1999 and 2003, such as for dumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of aviation fuel into a Minnesota wetland."

“The reason we are seeing more Arctic military activity is that countries are worried by the spectre of open water there." By 2035, the Arctic is forecast to be free of ice during summer, which will allow ships to sail across the North Pole. theguardian.com/world/2019/jan…
.@WhiteHouse has not updated its strategy to deal with the fast-changing region. “Under the #Trump administration, we are not assigning a significant priority to our role as an Arctic nation. There is a void.” ~ @lisamurkowski
REMINDER: @realDonaldTrump's near total focus on the USA-MEX border means comparatively little attention is being given to the security of our 88,633 mile-long shoreline / 12,383 mile-long general coastline (pick one): the mission of the currently unpaid @USCG. How dumb is that?

1/ OMG, the end of good times. No more left to do. Where’s the innovation. Shocking news from Apple on revenue, but needs some context.

Maturing or mature markets are not dead markets. The world did not change overnight even with this announcement.

This isn’t this is fine. This is fine but with a circle/slash around it.
2/ Smartphones are the first product that penetrated nearly the entire world from essentially two vendors (“google” and Apple). That itself is shocking.

It means dynamics at play are new to everyone. Predictions about future are tricky when one runs out of untapped customers.
3/ As many like @benedictevans and @asymco shown the growth in iPhone units has been slowing (to shrinking by some measures). That led to stopping the reporting of units from Apple “certainly a sign” as many noted.

Today, we're launching the RAND Gun Policy in America initiative, which provides information on what scientific research can tell us about the effects of gun laws. [thread] r.rand.org/6xbc
Our goal is to establish a shared set of facts that will improve public discussions and support the development of fair and effective gun policies.

There is *a lot* to explore in the link above. This thread provides an overview.
To know whether a gun policy is fair and effective, we need to determine how it affects outcomes, such as:

📍injuries & deaths
📍mass shootings
📍defensive gun use
📍hunting participation

So what does the evidence show?
