This is a good read: https://ourworldindata.org/un-population-2024-revision

The new estimated global peak population is 10.3B in 2084. But now, looking at the break down by region, you may be talking about North America? That graph looks wildly 3rd world… If you edit the graph to show US and Nigeria’s 2024 projections side by side it’s samepicture.jpg

“Algorithmic timeline” might be appropriately specific?

How can there not be number to this “stark drop”? Or is this literally “decimated” and it’s down 10%?

E:had dropped the “not”

No. That’s an increase of 129% to 229% of the original price.

You are right that you always use the original price as the base, but if it were still $7 that would be a 0% increase, not 100% as by your math.

Aix-en-Provence: Hold my rosé

There you go conflating Jews and Israel. Apart from that you have an arguable point.

That’s not exactly what happened. Starlink was already disabled in Crimea when the attack was launched and Musk refused to enable it specifically for the attack. Then the initial reports got a bit tangled up.

But yes, none of this should be up to Musk.

There is an alternative to getting older but you wouldn’t like it.

That’s just not true. Go to https://ev-database.org/ and compare the dry weight of the different models. You don’t add 66kg going from standard to long range in software.

Frankly eating in all the time was a net positive, I’m in the best shape of my life

Eating out is a lot better for me after I moved to Italy, so there is that. And living in Italy and having to make do with my own cooking would be Very Sad. But yeah, context matters a lot. The Italians took this stuff very seriously the first time around and vaccination rates were really high when I was neaurotically tracking it. I should look up the annual booster rate.

I don’t know where you are, but I’d be less comfortable in an air conditioned eatery in Texas than outside a restaurant in Rome (where I was at the height). And with the current numbers I should probably start avoiding crowds and recirculated air again.

I’m fine with never eating out again.

Yeah, that would be a severe degradation of life for me, so that’s a no-go unless the probabilities shift back to where they were in 2020-22ish.

Are you waiting for something to change or will you do this for the rest of your life?

I stopped when we had as much vaccine protection as we were going to get and the virus wasn’t causing quite as severe disease any more. Forever is a long time.

That’s just his taxoplasma communicating with your taxoplasma. Nothing to worry about.

The EU has declared Twitter and a few others to be gate-keepers and they will now be held to a higher standard. But I don’t think the EU is going to use this power to save US democracy.

They are covered by the “one of” part of the sentence. And the current Greek democratic system is not old in the sense that the US system is old.

Greek democracy has also been far from continuous, if we want to take that into account.

Adaptive cruise control is just “go at this speed, but then apply soft throttle”. So you’re welcome, I guess?

Maybe you don’t. But ancestor post is suggesting to make it mandatory to avoid tail gating and then it had better work properly.

I only git as far as SNCF, the French railway company. Just a transposition and a single pen stroke away.
