If we squint at the data real hard, and do this one neat trick where we look only at years where European countries had zero mass shootings, and consider only those, THEN we can get Europe < US.
4/ Yes, I presented a "steel-man" argument--with ALL the data, and even a wrong analysis included!
If it comforts you to grasp at straws, and decide Europe's safer because some years some countries have no mass shootings (despite higher mean)....
Go for it!
First, filtration.
Stop using air return filters; woefully inadequate.
Get 20x25x4 cartridges installed on the main air handler.
Yeah, Filtrete is 3M, but excellent MERV 13 made right here in Houston TX from BNX better:
2/ Just LOOK at that big beautiful filter!
Pleated, for your pleasure.
If you can, get an Aprilaire electrostatic cartridge holder; it charges incoming dust so it sticks to the filter.
UV-C in the handler by the evaporator coils, too, to nuke bacteria and viruses.
3/ We've had these filters for years. Despite our vast animal zoo--two teenagers, 3 dogs, 2 cats, billion birbs, weapons-grade Texas pollen--my wife's allergies disappeared.
NEXT: Inverter-driven true variable speed AC units.
These are an absolute game-changer.
1/ I've been talking about geo-engineering aka chemtrails for years.
It's done very cleverly; remember leaded gasoline? That's tetraethyl lead; Pb(C2H5)4.
It throws out lead oxides in the exhaust. What if something similar were in jet fuel?
2/ Metallic alkanes with strontium, barium, and aluminum (esp the latter) are added to jet fuel; the metal oxides released form nucleation particles.
Those create tiny water droplets--artificial clouds--and reflect sunlight.
Voila--chemtrails. Except called "geo-engineering"
3/ They're revealing it now because it's undeniably happening.
They're selling it as just "experimental".
This submidwit clown says it's "just for the UK"--as if the atmosphere respects national boundaries!
1/ My parents-in-law, God bless them, are amazingly active for 81-year olds.
They flew Tampa->Houston and picked up my son to see the eclipse, while I was moving my daughter to the farm.
TLDR; we get along, despite their being uber-libtards. They're decent people in other ways.
2/ A GREAT experience--the Scottish immigrant who owns the ranch, a family acquaintance, is a serious amateur astronomer.
They had a moon-tracking telescope, another aimed at the sun, and full camera setup with wifi so everyone could see.
And the Scot is REDPILLED.
Loves my son.
3/ My PILs other friends...not so much.
Wealthy 30-something California couple who bought a Hill Country ranchette, and some older 70-ish friends.
Someone asked my son about homeschooling; wasn't there, but since she's a libtard I'm sure it was a loaded question.
3/ Then, in a few years, the next generation of AI will have little new to train on.
And what's out there from humans will be AI-tainted, and fairly stupid.
Meanwhile education will have a crisis; why teach skills AI makes irrelevant and unemployable?
SO: where will it find fresh ideas?
Who'll be incentivized to study and generate them?
2/ Agreed:
Quite possible the Uniparty thinks exactly what Hillary did in 2015--she encouraged MSM to push him because she thought he was the most easily beatable.
He's flawed. Pig-headed, terrible at hiring, pro-Holy-Jab.
