A Near Death Experience (NDE) is fundamentally different from an Actual Death Experience (ADE). There are no reliable accounts of people returning from an ADE.
How about this guy? I don't know the law here but this seems a bad thing to do.
A GOP political operative in Florida, Aaron Nevins, DM’d Guccifer 2.0 a request for “any Florida based information” and received 2.5 gigabytes’ worth, according to The Wall Street Journal. The data, he enthused to Guccifer 2.0, was “probably worth millions of dollars.” A consultant for a successful Florida Republican congressional candidate told the paper, “I did adjust some voting targets based on some data I saw from the leaks.”
Unlike the Roadrunner, your analogy's a bit off target. Wile E Coyote usually did get flattened by the anvil or blown up or fell off a cliff. OK he always got up eventually and tried yet again to catch his speedy nemesis but only succeeded in being severely injured once more. I'm not sure how this applies to Trump.
A simple, quick, sure-fire method is attractive to the impulsive suicide who might think twice if she had to go to the pharmacy. Conversely the UK government cut the suicide rate just by stopping the sale of large packets of paracetamol.
London is more dangerous by some measures than New York, though the murder rate in New York remains higher.
Why just those two cities? You're not trying to cherry-pick statistics are you? I have some of those: UK homicide rate 0.92 per 100,000, US rate 4.88 per 100,000.
While he has carried on shooting rabbits and targets, the tragedy [Dunblane] has framed his view of gun regulation. “At the moment in Britain, the gun ownership rights are spot on. They’ve got them right in that you’ve got to have a reason to actually have one here and it’s very well-checked. Whereas in the US you can just walk into a shop and buy one You’ll find that almost every gun owner in Britain agrees with the laws here.”
“A lot of shooters gave up after Dunblane." Getting a license for a hunting gun is harder than ever — and designed to weed out anyone with ulterior motives. “If I apply for a licence here they do a background check, they’ll do a doctor’s check to check you don’t have a background of mental health difficulties or depression. The police do a home visit. They check you’ve got police-approved gun safes and that you’ve got proper security. They also check the reason why you want a gun. So if you say, ‘I’ve got a farmer who wants pest control,’ they ask for the name and address of the person whose property you’ll be shooting on and they’ll do a check there too.”
Dunblane is significant because that's where the UK had its school massacre, which prompted these more strict gun laws.
It's common in the country to hear farmers blasting away with their shotguns at the local vermin/wildlife/dinner and of course there's also the game shooting for the rich. Apart from that there are very few guns about and most people are happy about it. There were 32 homicides with a gun in the year to March 2017. Suicide by gun is similarly rare.
The tone of the Buzzfeed article ("love of deadly weapons") is a bit more lurid than the reality quoted but anything more than a casual interest in guns, knives and other weapons should be kept an eye on, in children or adults. If they don't grow out of it, they can join the army or become a gunsmith but there's something unhealthy about being interested in guns for their own sake.
A spokesperson for the UK Gun Control Network had it about right:
Commenting on the profile pictures of users posing with guns, they said: “There’s a culture of wanting to see yourself looking fierce and military, posing holding weapons and play acting. It’s about pretending to be macho and violent. Of course sadly as we know, in the states particularly, it doesn’t always stay as a pretence
“We know that teenage mass shooters post pictures of themselves on social media with their guns and threats. It’s the whole culture, and it will mostly be men, who want to be seen with their weapons. It’s bravado. We know what happens.”
Is it a response to this, passed by the Senate 2 days ago?
What happened instead is the FOSTA-SESTA package, in which House lawmakers have incorporated the worst provisions of both bills in ways aimed at making internet companies more subject to prosecution and lawsuits and more prone to censor users' speech online.
In one exchange, when asked about digging up material on political opponents, [CEO-for-now] Mr Nix said they could "send some girls around to the candidateâ(TM)s house", adding that Ukrainian girls "are very beautiful, I find that works very well".
In another he said: " Weâ(TM)ll offer a large amount of money to the candidate, to finance his campaign in exchange for land for instance, weâ(TM)ll have the whole thing recorded, weâ(TM)ll blank out the face of our guy and we post it on the Internet"....
Tonight, a Cambridge Analytica spokesman said: "We entirely refute any allegation that Cambridge Analytica or any of its affiliates use entrapment, bribes, or so-called "honey-traps" for any purpose whatsoever⦠We routinely undertake conversations with prospective clients to try to tease out any unethical or illegal intentionsâ¦".
Verizon will extend fiber to 10,000 to 12,000 households not currently served by it in Long Island and Verizon's "Upstate Reporting Region" (these are Verizon-specific regions, not geographical areas, so "Long Island" may mean more than just the island).
The agreement says there will be about 7000 on Long Island itself. With a population of 7.8 million and assuming 3 per household that means Verizon will get round to at most 1 in 400 households. If that's worth celebrating what has their performance been like up till now? Also, call me cynical but there's no mention of anything to stop them from giving fiber to the richest 1 in 400 households.
It looks like they'll only do it if they get public money:
Verizon has bid for grants under the State Broadband Program Office/CAF auction. To the extent that any such grants are awarded to Verizon, the company commits to making fiber-based broadband service available to certain additional households in the areas covered by such grants

"We need to scope out this Bitmanagement deployment, Lieutenant. How many PCs will need it?" "Several hundred thousand Sir". "That's a lot of licenses, is there any way we can get by with fewer?" "Well Sir, we could switch to a concurrent licensing model." "How many would we need then?" Scribble, scribble. "I make it 38 Sir." "That sounds better, we'll do that."
Mergers like these are good mainly for the executives who plan them and the lawyers and brokers who extract fat fees for executing them. Shareholders see a short-term gain but nothing is added to the economy indeed jobs and choice are diminished.
The EU have been relying on voluntary cooperation but haven't ruled out bringing in new laws if necessary: it's the first sentence of the summary. Neither 'side' wants to resort to the courts.

I heard that Trump is trying to persuade NASA to work with Mr Hughes to build the first coal-fired Mars rocket.

Does it really work though, the ability to script your own dreams? That seems amazing enough without any witchcraft.
Also, which method is best for um, being captain of a star ship?

I don't know where your numbers came from but this table says otherwise.
UK 7.4/100,000, US 12.6.

This man David Scott, who set up Gunbook, said in a previous Buzzfeed piece (my emphasis),

According to the EFF:

Profit? They are carefully constructed not to make any profit. Where did you hear that absurd and libellous rumour?
Europeans pay half what Americans do for healthcare and don't shovel anywhere near the same amount of cash at the military.
The differences are not as great as you pretend. Here in the jolly old UK I can say fuck Teresa May, fuck Parliament. There, I just did.
Here's an interesting perspective from the man who coined the word meritocracy.
