I mean, make your own judgements of proper risk, but the headline makes it sound much worse than it is.

30% increase, which means 8 more people per 100,000 women who take hormonal bc. not 30% of people who take hormonal bc

Only in a local sense, most of the value of taking it is the ability to then attack a pair of larger cites deeper within Ukraine, but as you may notice, if you struggling to take a small village, you will have an even harder time taking larger cities, with even worse supply lines.

Reply to comment by MedusasSexyLegHair in Eli5: I don't understand why there seems to be a general consensus that gdp will continue a trend of growth, and why this would be beneficial, considering the cyclical nature of economies and empires rising and falling. Isn't economic downturn on some level unavoidable or even beneficial? by candymannequin

Long lasting isn't necessarily useful in a fast development environment, computers have roughly doubled in power to cost ever 2 years for decades now, its cheaper in all ways to keep building new computers rather than makes ones that will last.

Reply to comment by justdoubleclick in TIL about Operation Bernhard. During WWII, Germany attempted to bring about the collapse of the British economy by forging ≈£130 million in British bank notes. The notes are considered among the most perfect counterfeits ever produced, and are very difficult to differentiate from legitimate notes. by rkadeYT

Sure, that could be true, however quoting raw data at me is useless because I have no idea if your interpretation of the meaning of those number is correct, because "Total Assets of the Federal Reserve" could mean a bunch of different things.

that link says that "Currency in Circulation" hit 1 Trillion on 9-Mar-2011, and is currently at 2.2 Trillion.

The "Total Assets of the Federal Reserve" follows the 2008 1t to 8.7t today curve, also, this is raw data, which is effectively unusable for the average person, because it doesn't say exactly what was asked so I have no idea what all is tied up in the various statements.
