10 months agoThis is already a tracked statistic. It’s called the fertility rate. Yes, it’s tracked per uterus, and it’s actually been falling precipitously for decades:

Already happening.
The only thing you need to do to accomplish this faster is educate girls (making women valuable for things other than childbearing), provide access to birth control and family planning education, and reduce child mortality (reducing the inclination to have “spare children” to replace all the ones you know will die).
Bangladesh provides a good example of these factors at play:

“World’s population is projected to nearly stop growing by the end of the century”
And the collective human fertility rate (births per woman) has been falling for decades:
151·10 months agoWell shit you’re right! I just tend to save things in time order anyway, so I hadn’t noticed. I just deliberately saved something out of time order, and sure enough it sorted itself lower down in my save list. Good to know. My bad
Boost app is the solution to this problem
1·10 months agoBecause I think quality of presentation is not being factored into the assessments you’re seeing on that wiki.
I tend to recommend Healthline to the public because it clearly targets a lay audience, and chooses to meet that audience where they live. It’s written the way I talk to my patients, and the information is accurate and accessibly easier to read.
Just look at the difference between the pages on hypertension from Healthline and MedlinePlus:
https://www.healthline.com/health/high-blood-pressure-hypertension
https://medlineplus.gov/highbloodpressure.html
The details and accuracy of the information is not different. But the way Healthline presents it is so much more accessible.
The best thing to happen from WebMD is we got a bunch of actual medical providers like Mayo Clinic, University of Maryland, Merck Manual that went, “GAH! No!!” and made actually informative, updated medical websites.
Healthline, kids. Healthline is where we go for our medical information.

They did a whole series on Covid including the history of development of vaccines
8·11 months agoYes, Massachusetts. I have a dual fuel heat pump with natural gas backup installed in 2020, so it’s a newer system. And I have one heat pump mini split in the least energy efficient, but most used room in my house (large, high ceilings, exterior walls on three sides, and a skylight).
The first couple of years I noticed when it got just below freezing, the central heat pump seemed to struggle to keep up. Then this year I replaced my windows and got new wall insulation in both of the main bedrooms and bathrooms (previous insulation was original from the 1960s and shredded to bits with huge gaps.)
After those improvements, I’ve been running my heat pump down to 20⁰F/-7⁰C so far without any issues at all. I’m excited to see how cold we can get and this system still keep up. I am still supplementing my one large room with the mini split, but that’s mostly because all my plants are in here, so I keep this room warmer than 68⁰F/20⁰C.

23·11 months agoThis is literally an article about police arresting the person who committed this crime. Who’s not doing shit and what advocacy is OP providing beyond self-flagellation because terrible criminals exist?
The state of Uttar Pradesh has 240 MILLION people. That’s one state that’s 2/3 the size of the entire United States.
Posting articles like this and proclaiming conclusions about it is like posting that someone somewhere in the US did this and therefore the entire United States is complicit.
Are you in the habit of seeking out and sharing nothing but news stories about the rapists and criminals in your community? Yes, that behavior is a little pathological.
And they have a LOT of self-loathing
OP spam posts every negative story they find about India. They are not a healthy person.
We’ve gotten so much better at airplane evacuations over the years. The HEAVILY REGULATED airline industry is a masterclass in actually learning from tragedy.
Edit: Christ Almighty, I’ll split the hair, you guys.
I’d miss you guys. I’ve jumped in on conversations on your instance a couple of times and it always seems like a nice place
- Lmao NO. Disabled people work. We have this whole law about it and everything in the United States where employers have to provide reasonable accommodations and allow you time off work without compromising your job status.
I’m disabled. I work full time. I could not fulfill these exercise requirements, but I can hold down a job. That is not a rare category of human being.
We should have universal healthcare, not this nonsense from a private employer.
This is the one they were waiting for. There are several live cams trained on the area, and one of them caught the exact moment it erupted:
1·11 months agoI’m in the middle of book 7 and holy what a shift. I’m in the part where it’s so overwhelming, you can’t even begin to imagine how this will get resolved. Very excited to read the last two books.
2·11 months agoThis kind of passive bigotry is necessary for genocides to occur. It is the foundation on which the mechanisms of genocide are built.
It’s not just no good; it’s terrifying.
Show me your data on that one
