Yeah, that's a good point.

I really don't have a clue, but calculating averages might yield results which don't represent a directly applicable value. If some people lose tens of years due to dramatic complications, it could weigh up a lot for people who barely lose any life length.

Again, I'm just guessing wildly, but anything which scares people away from smoking is good in my opinion.

It's a very rough approximation which was used in anti-smoking campaigns, at least in the 90s/00s.

When you want to create the atmosphere of the 60s without having to smoke anything yourself?

One inhalation on a single cigarette is said to reduce your life by 7 minutes. How does this apply here? Is the scale linear or exponential?

There are a variety of reasons, and of course there exists people who are in full control of their weight, but decide to not do anything about it. What I'm hinting at is that there are also a lot of people who suffer with deeper psycological issues. We don't really tease depressed people with nick names and expect them to just snap out of it at any time. Hence I feel like we should generally treat heavier people with respect instead of assuming that it's their active choice.

Yep, the same way people can take full control of their depression, alcoholism or other psycological issues. It's all about just rolling up those sleeves and deciding not to have the issues. So we can safely assume that all heavier people are a result of them actively choosing to become heavy, so we should always treat them as such.

Similarly to religion and the bible, words mean whatever people want them to mean.

That trolley problem is intense: would you direct the trolley onto a track as driving_crooner described or let the trolley run on an empty track?

Besides, I've heard that Trump smells kinda yucky.

(If this is more effective to steer away the followers than guilt on 34 points, rape and hush money, then let's roll with it.)

But people under a certain age are required a child seat, no? So unless those rules are changed, it would be hard for any pregnant woman to legally sit in a moving car.

Having stress related bowel issues, I can assure you that you are in luck that it works that way for you and not the other way around like it seems to work for me.

It's not like their effort would reduce that number to 0%. Id expect something more in line with a reduction from 20% to 18% at best.

And I have no problem believing that CEOs of huge corporations would give up a few percent of their chance to survive an eventual cancer to ensure that their wealth continues to grow greedily.

Or you could replace most of the whitespace with repeating semicolons. Makes the code much clearer!

OP, I'll have you know that I pull that joke every single time it happens. And I make sure to throw out a great, heartfelt laugh and slap my knee just to make sure you get the joke.

It's great.

Yep, I am not going to eat that fish. I have a freezer which is too large for my needs, so stuff like that just ends up being left at the bottom as a monument of my apathy.

I have the opposite.

Two whole fish. About 3kg each. Each of them for when I feel like cooking and make a nice meal.

It has been 2 years.

Absolutely, but acquiring a weapon legally is a process involving the police and requires a sensible intent (like hunting, sports or defense against polar bears) and an approved safe storage. While there are a lot of weapons in Norway, it's very heavily regulated.

With that said, the terror in Norway was performed with a firearm which was obtained legally with approval from the police, so the system is far from perfect.

Great examples! Thanks!

Can you elaborate on that last part? I fail to think of anything where its natural for English to go from small units to big units.
