Cancer research? Subsidized childcare in poor neighborhoods? Alma mater scholarship funding?

There's a lot of apolitical fundraising.

It blows my mind that so many questions in this community could be instantly answered by Google. Just typing "whinging" gives its definition and identifies it as British.

The question wasn't stupid. But OP was too lazy to even try and do their own research. Which ironically resulted in more work for them.

This isn't wrong, but it's misleading. A huge portion of that statement is based on newborns dying. There were also early advances in medicine that helped by the time around the birth of America. (Which is where this judge serves/gained a lifetime appointment.)

In 1850 (in Wales, which is a good representation of a Western civilization), 20 year olds could expect to live into their 60s. And 50 year olds into their 70s. https://ourworldindata.org/life-expectancy

While the 90+ crowd is an exception, that's true even in our time. But living into your 70s was not unusual when the laws were written.

It's not necessarily lazy. If I want to go back to a particular post I saw on page 1 when I'm on page 2, but it was knocked off the front page, how would I find it? It's no longer on page 1, so back would miss it. I'd have to go to 1 and then back again to 2 to find a post that moved.

It gets even more complicated when the algorithm also changes post order.

Sometimes simple with minor inconvenience is the best option.

Yeah, but to be fair, that defeats the point OP is making by stating their sex frequency. If it's all relative, then his activity is irrelevant when discussing someone else's.

Excellent point. My apologies.

I dunno. We can manipulate entangled electrons to look like a yin yang symbol and that's not cool?

Edit; photons. My bad.

Hi! Googling this question reveals the answer is yes, it does result in fusion.

As far as the output, according to this top result paper, that depends heavily on the size of the black hole, the size and speed of the accretion disk, and the medium from which the black hole is drawing (like a white dwarf vs interstellar gas).

From what I can make out--and I have no background--the author maps out results as high in weight as nickel.

Edit: grammar

I think the WHO has slightly more credibility than any random Lenny user.

And no, your attitude is not called for. There's a legitimate body that had called the safety of aspartame into question. Whether it meets your standards is personal. But it's poor form to attack others for citing credible sources (a chemistry teacher is worth following up on for chem matters, which, in this case--again--led directly to a statement by the WHO).

You have simultaneously said it's both been studied excessively and acknowledged the WHO has said it needs more study.

Rando vs WHO. WHO wins. Aspartame may be dangerous. And, incidentally, so may working as a dry cleaner. Which seems like a good warning to put out there. Thank you angry, rude person trolling this thread.

Edit: just googled "cancer rates among dry cleaners" and wow... it seems a number of studies have demonstrated elevated cancer rates among dry cleaners. Here are a couple:

Sweden study

St Louis study
