Reply to comment by patman_007 in Estimates suggest population growth rate to peak at 8.6 billion by madrid987
no, that is what the headline says, but the first sentence in the article reads "A new projection of the population growth rate highlights that the world’s population could peak at 8.5 billion people by 2050, and decline to 7 billion in 2100".
The person writing the headline is an idiot made a very basic mistake. As others have said, at the point the population reaches its maximum, the rate of change will be 0.

Reply to comment by 420trashcan in The FBI raided a notable journalist's home. Rolling Stone didn't tell readers why by SellingCoach
actually it's spelled that way so as not to confuse it with "lead", as in the metal. In the days of lead type, extra space between lines would be added by inserting thin strips of lead. So you could say "Put 4 extra points of lead after the lede".

What, you think that doesn't look like a narwhal? Have you ever even seen a narwhat? No? Then why not trust ChatGPT who has the knowledge of the entire internet at its (virtual) fingertips. I for one trust our emergent AI overlords.

I would say it sounds like a waste of good coffee and good olive oil, but we're talking Starbucks here, so, whatever.

"winded down"? When ChatGPT starts writing their press releases, I expect the grammar will be impeccable.
