I'm pretty sure the old saying goes, "If you're going to start a fire with a wooden ladder, be sure to climb out of the hole first."

I'm not commenting on what the article was stating, just pointing out that growth rate and population total are two separate things.

The article flips back and forth. But looking at some other info it is the population that will peak, not the growth rate.

I'm amazed at some people's confidence in things they are wrong about.

I'm chalking this to the author not understanding what they were writing. Because if you read the article they flip back and forth between stating the growth rate will peak at that population marker, followed by that the population itself will peaked then. And those are two totally seperate peaks, honestly don't think they could predict the highest possible population that would be harder to determine. NOW, looking through some other info it does appear it is the population that peaks around 8.6 billion.

You need to restudy calculus. Because that's exactly what my point is derived from - see what I did there?? The growth peak will not be the same time as the growth rate peak ( a secondary difference). The growth rate will peak, and THEN when the growth rate hits 1 to 1 the population will begin to decline.

What your stating would be true if humans had kids on a 1:1 ratio, but if the population growth rate peaks at 4 children per 2 adults than there will be a period of time when the growth rate declines from 4 children per to 2 children per and that will still see an increase in population, even post peak growth rate.

No, they're saying the rate at which the population will grow will peak at 8.6 billion people LMAO. It will continue to grow for a bit after, but just at a smaller rate. Then finally it will decline which will shrink the population.

You are not nitpicky, you are misunderstanding what they are saying. And I don't know what other numbers you are referencing... But I do agree It's an odd thing to state, we can agree about that.

But the growth rate won't immediately decline to 0 or a negative. It will first rise, then peak, then slow then reverse. And that peak will be at roughly 8.6 billion people....

This isn't saying our population will max out at 8.6 billion.

Is this not saying that the rate in which our population increases will peak roughly around the time we have 8.6 billion people? And would the rate not be annually?

Obviously the population won't pull a 180 and immediately start shrinking. It will start to grow at a slower rate until the growth rate slows into a decline...

I swear some people just have to be edgy and controversial.

Jay Leno looks great considering he had third degree burns all over his has Jay Leno's face.

Ftfy.

Obviously the most responsible thing to do here is feed all the content to an AI generator and then have it perform live.

At this time of year?

Having sports on a spectrum of how hockey they are may be more Canadian than maple syrup or saying sorry.

And give you something more productive than drinking to do in your free time. Win win win. Saying this as someone working through the habit myself.

You should listen to your anxiety and do some of the other things you feel you need to do. Not all of them at once but just pick one or two every evening. You'll instantly feel better after you accomplish some of these other things, even if they're tiny tasks. Pretty soon you'll have that list down to a small, manageable one and you'll be in the habit of not procrastinating because you'll realize how much better it feels than alcohol.

You'll always have things to take care of, that's life. But if you ignore the anxious part of your brain it'll just convert that over to a lack of any really emotion as a way to cope with you not dealing with it (depression).

But it is like ra-e-ain on your wedding day.

You thought those murky skin colours were camouflage for their surroundings? Nah, ancestoral burn remnants dawg.

well don't you know people didn't die before the covid vaccine /s

5 games into his second juniors and he has the record for most goals by a Canadian in the tournament. Wicked.

Into the ocean. It's why the seaturtles had to lay egg on the beach.

🤣

The drama is driven by her character's antics. Which is terrible because she's an unbelievable character and the fact that they use her to drive so much controversy is lazy and sexist writing. Even all the other characters' problems seem to revolve around fixing her mistakes or avoiding getting caught up in them.

Taylor Sheridan should really focus on his character writing..I feel all the males are terribly complex, there's no way to fault these men for what the boy went through type characters and then all the females are 2D caricatures. That's really my only beef with the show. The story is good, just hard to follow sometimes because of this.

In addition to this they announced it heading into a quarter all grocery stores freeze prices. It's common practice for everyone to virtually freeze prices through January. So they just made an announcement about a common practice that always happens.

When I get feeling really shitty I listen to Sprained Ankle by Julien Baker. Give that album a listen!
