You can be shot in the head and survive. I don’t have statistics, but there have been many who have survived.
A 28 year old at close range. A 14 year old. 47 year old. Etc.
The point is that Good had an outside chance and these bastards don’t give a shit about people they’ve shot.
New records from emergency responders obtained by The New York Times show that Good was not breathing but had an irregular pulse when local medics arrived at the scene, and had no pulse by the time they removed her from her car. This comes after an initial video captured by bystanders showed ICE agents screaming at a medic who offered help as Good lay dying in her car.
“Can I go check a pulse?” a man said after Good was shot, his hands in the air.
“No! Back up!” an ICE agent told him.
“I’m a physician!”
“I don’t care!” the agent replied, before another came up and said they had their own EMS on the way. They arrived and performed CPR on Good—who had two gunshots in her chest and one on her arm—before taking her to the hospital, where she later died.
Though the project would mostly be built in existing transmission right of ways, it did require clearing a 150-foot wide corridor through 54 miles of forest in western Maine. Almost immediately, the plan encountered much of the same pushback as the New Hampshire proposal. There were lawsuits and regulatory delays, and many Maine residents questioned why their state should sacrifice pristine forest for the benefit of Massachusetts customers.
Despite promises from Avangrid that the ecological impacts of the project would be minimal, a powerful alliance of local environmentalists and fossil fuel companies — some of which stood to lose money if the power line was built — took root. This effort culminated in a 2021 ballot referendum in Maine to revoke a key permit for the project, which had already begun construction.
Advocates and opponents of the transmission line poured more than $90 million into the campaign, and in the end, nearly 60% of Maine voters rejected the project. Construction was halted, the developers sued. In April 2023, a Maine jury verdict paved the way for construction to resume.
The year-and-a-half delay caused the project’s price tag to balloon by more than $500 million dollars — an increase that Massachusetts ratepayers are on the hook to pick up. Even so, electric customers in the state are expected to come out ahead.
The projected annual savings are small — around $18-$20 per household, according to the governor’s office. But with power demand rising, the actual savings could grow over time, said Boyd Rabin of the Environmental League of Massachusetts.
Residents of Maine will also benefit from the transmission line. As part of the contract negotiations, Gov. Janet Mills arranged for Hydro-Québec to sell some discounted electricity to the state through the new transmission line. The deal is expected to save ratepayers at least at least $14 million annually. The project developers have also agreed to invest millions in residential energy efficiency programs, job creation, broadband internet access and conservation efforts in the state. And they’ve promised to help defray the cost of heat pumps for low-income residents, and make investments in Maine’s electrical infrastructure.
A model for the future of power transmission lines in the US in several ways. The negative is the push back infrastructure improvements will get from all side which will caused a bloom in cost, but the positive is an ROI and community improvement which succeeds in spite of the push back.
As a project though, it shows how far behind we as Americans are from the ability for China to build fast and adapt fast. China’s Qinghai-Henan line 493-mile-per-year construction rate, dwarfs the US capacity to build, and it’s mostly because of red tape. Qualitatively, the New England line might be better in it’s cautious approach from several stand points, but I think the US has lost perspective on it’s economic dominance.

A man was shot in the leg Wednesday night during a federal immigration enforcement operation in north Minneapolis.
Witnesses say a series of gunshots followed a car chase and foot chase involving federal agents. The Department of Homeland Security said an agent fired “defensive shots” that hit a man in the leg

So this doesn’t entirely answer your question, but it’s worth watching this reallifelore video on Why Iran Is Dying, as it’s good context for that background of what is going on and gives a frame for what’s next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8kSGH4I8Ps
TL;DR in one bold phrase:
Iran is simultaneous geopolitical whiplash + ecological free-fall.

President Donald Trump on Sunday told reporters that the heads of American oil companies were informed of the US military’s attack on Venezuela—described as “brazenly illegal” by scholars and experts—even before it took place.
Trump’s admission, a renowned liar, sparked condemnation because the administration refused to consult with US lawmakers about the operation, citing fears of a leak that would compromise operational security.
There is a lot here, but if you feel you can’t act using LE help, than Ohio has zero-criteria, male-inclusive housing options. They rarely use the word “shelter” on the web so they do not get swamped by single men seeking free motel space. You qualify under “survivor of family-violence with disability.”
When you call: you can give “first name only” and withhold your exact address—they will still arrange transport. Bring legal-ID. Proof-of-employment are not required; safety trumps paperwork.
• Crisis Hotline 24/7 (call from any phone – they will NOT disclose caller ID):
• Ohio Domestic Violence Network – 1-800-934-9840 (ask for “male survivor advocacy”).
Faster SMS/Text (smart-number line): Text “SAFE” + ZIP to 44357.
Three metros with immediate walk-in male units (all wheelchair/adaptive):
CHOICES – Columbus & Delaware detox-friendly, 30–90 day stays.
YWCA Dayton Brukner House male wing funded specifically for adults with disabilities; they take SSA or SSI clients and help reinstate payments if interrupted.
Victims Assistance Cleveland & Erie County – 24-bed male DV dorm; can place you same night in independent-living room once CPO filed.
Next-72-hour legal & relocation funding:
Flexible Financial Assistance – pays up to $2,500 toward deposit, mover, phone, food. One-page form + pic of lease invoice.
Hotel program – ODVN hotel-voucher code is good for 7– 21 nights; county‐to‐county portability. Confidentiality clause forbids hotel from telling anyone who book and paid.
REACH Rapid Re-housing – month-to-month subsidized lease for disabled adult DV survivors, renewable for 12 months.
It’s worth mentioning that if your bother is drilling reserve status, or is a retiree who receives retired pay then call the Military Police & DoD Inspector General: 1 800 342-9647. Privileged report triggers immediate base-side investigation and overnight restriction orders—they don’t need your parents’ permission and cannot reveal your identity to them. Based on what you have written, he’s in violation of Article Article 128 — Assault & Threats (10 U.S.C. § 928), Article 134 – Communicating a Threat, Article 134 — Disorder/Neglect to Prejudice, and Article 133 – Conduct Unbecoming an Officer / Qualities of Leadership.
Under Ohio, there are at least two statues: Domestic Violence Civil Protection Order (DV-CPO) – R.C. 3113.31
Red-/Yellow-Flag Extreme-Risk Protection Order (ERPO) – R.C. 2923.132
These two will remove your brother’s guns/ammunition within 24–48 h. And the Judge can make him vacate the home and stay 500–1,000 ft away even if your parents co-own the house.
There is no criminal charge, no attorney required (R.C. 3113.31(J)): county clerk must supply forms, waives all fees.
My suggestion is that tomorrow morning (or tonight if your county has night magistrate), walk in or use webcam petitioning (many Cuyahoga, Franklin, Summit and Hamilton courts offer online intake after 5 p.m.).
Make a check box “Emergency ex parte” (he does not get notice until order is already in force). You can attach as evidence: a short sworn affidavit of tonight’s threats, any photos of dead animals, and/or a recording (legal in Ohio if you are participant to the conversation).
The court can sign the DV-CPO order the same day and it will be served to him as soon as possible by local PD/Sheriff (generally within 24-48 hours). The hearing has to take place within 7- to 10-day which is a temporary window for you. If he violates the order that it is an instant jail offense R.C. 2919.27.
Forms & on-line helper: olh-cpo-launcher (Ohio Legal Help).
You are not required to broadcast to your family that you sought aid. Every corner of reporting him is lock-and-key confidential—police, courts, shelters. The only way your brother learns is if he breaks the order and is arrested, at which point you have county-funded housing, legal advocacy, and a safety net already in place, and he has a history which is going to make it much harder for him.
Stay safe, and reach out to safe places if you need space.

The authority’s decision to drop the lawsuit comes as the group seeks private investors to support the bullet train. The project recently secured $1 billion in annual funding from the state’s cap-and-trade program through 2045.
The program sets a declining limit on total planet-warming emissions in the state from major polluters. Companies must reduce their emissions, buy allowances from the state or other businesses, or fund projects aimed at offsetting their emissions. Money the state receives from the sales funds climate-change mitigation, affordable housing and transportation projects, as well as utility bill credits for Californians.
The rail authority said its shift in focus away from federal funding offers “a new opportunity.”
“Moving forward without the Trump administration’s involvement allows the Authority to pursue proven global best practices used successfully by modern high-speed rail systems around the world,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
As was designed, once utility power failed, backup generators took over. But as the outage dragged on, indications came to the scientists in charge of the atomic clocks at NIST that one of the generators had failed. This prompted scientists to warn against relying on the Boulder NTP sources. The scientists running the clock feared complete failure of the hydrogen source clocks. Such failure would require a lengthy and complex re-start procedure once power was returned in the long term, and complete failure of a stratum one NTP source in the short term.
Further complicating the already bad situation was the fact that due to the dangers involved, the scientists could not reach the campus. So not only could they not confirm with certainty what issues the clocks may be experiencing, but they were unable to shut down the NTP servers. Fortunately, power was returned and the main source clock only drifted by a few microseconds. This is still far too much drift as would be preferred on a clock normally accurate in the range of nanoseconds, but perfectly usable for NTP which is only accurate to within a few milliseconds.
And from Update on Boulder Internet Time Services and atomic time scale
To put a deviation of a few microseconds in context, the NIST time scale usually performs about five thousand times better than this at the nanosecond scale by composing a special statistical average of many clocks. Such precision is important for scientific applications, telecommunications, critical infrastructure, and integrity monitoring of positioning systems. But this precision is not achievable with time transfer over the public Internet; uncertainties on the order of 1 millisecond (one thousandth of one second) are more typical due to asymmetry and fluctuations in packet delay.
NIST provides high-precision time transfer by other service arrangements; some direct fiber-optic links were affected and users will be contacted separately. However, the most popular method based on common-view time transfer using GPS satellites as “transfer standards” seamlessly transitioned to using the clocks at NIST’s WWV/Ft. Collins campus as a reference standard. This design feature mitigated the impact to many users of the high-precision time signal.
Fascinating stuff. Gives some answers to how long in a zombie apocalypse too, not that didn’t have them, and probably wouldn’t need highly precise time in that existence, but amazing anyway.

This Fucktard has no concept of real life challenges. I’m not condoning what the researcher did if it was intentionally, but having worked on research ships where biological samples need movement I am well aware of how hard it is for a PhD student to navigate the procedures to get samples into and out of the US and other countries. It’s an ever loving pain in the ass. Unintentional missteps are possible all over the place.
We need researchers, we need PhD students, and scaring them further with this shit is only going to make our futures more dominated by the likes of China. This isn’t a deterrent that is useful, it’s a diverting of brain power to China.
Also, Patel can kiss the abuse of power acts as he’s useless tard who is only droving agents away. Ferrying his girlfriend around on a private jet, being a premadonna demanding jackets with logos before he’ll get off a damn plane. It’s all show with him and no value.
Fuck off and due something useless… Like arrested the president for being a Pedophile.
This is despite Americans’ enormous spending on healthcare, which is in a league of its own – inflated by a large private, profit-driven medical industry that charges patients and their insurers an arm and a leg every time they come into contact with the system, regardless of whether the intervention does any good to their health
Like the US’s disturbingly profound poverty, its over-the-top mortality is not due to some technical shortfall or economic constraint. It is a choice. The United States is not only rich. It is better at inventing newfangled drugs and therapies than probably any other country in the world. What it is terrible at is ensuring that its people, even the poor ones, have access to the basic building blocks of a healthy life – from decent jobs and humdrum amenities like potable water, to access to health insurance.
American death and destitution are intimately connected. From the country’s fentanyl addiction to its obesity and its many suicides, often its most deadly afflictions do not call for fancy healthcare technology. It’s the social contract that must be fixed.
Fair enough… Tis what I get for jumping the scroll. Makes me wonder if that’s a deal breaker on the MAGA side.
da fuk? Why would you give leverage up like that? Say no, and demand require reciprocation as normal countries do when they are pissed.
