Fahrenheit is such a nice system. 0 is really, really cold and 100 is really really hot. So 50 must just be perfect, right?

Way more intuitive then Celsius.

My MSCI World ETF shares lost about 4% in a day. yesterday. Does this have anything to do with this shitshow?

While those facts might not be wrong in your neck of the woods, they are at least very, very US centric. That is of course ok, as we are talking about the US candidates here. But generally, keep in mind that the world is way bigger than the US. You make up a whole of 4% of the world's population. And those numbers all vary from country to country.

You might be right there. I'm German. And many a man did come back later, after the war, here. A lot of refugees were forcefully relocated from what is today Poland. Also a lot of POWs came back long after the war was over. So the baby boom was a bit delayed over here.

Kamala was born in 64. She's a boomer. Also, GTFO with Generation Jones. She's a boomer. X-ers are those who came after the pill became omnipresent after the mid 60s. I am one of those (born in 77). We are relatively few in numbers in comparison to the boomers. Because of the pill. Also GTFO with Generation Jones. She's a boomer.

Trump and Biden also aren't boomers. They predate the boomers. They were born during or shortly after WW2. That's usually called the silent generation. Trump being part of the silent generation is of course ridiculous. But he's the exception of the rule, I guess. But both are born very late in that generation, so they are its last remnants I guess. Soon they will all be gone.

As far as I remember the secret is to log in as admin and change the ownership of the files to yourself, then change permissions and then do whatever the f you want with the files.

A good compromise is to leave some "wild" patches for flowers and bugs and so on and use a mower robot to keep the rest short. Best of both worlds.

I am subscribed to amazon prime, mainly because of the benefits I have regarding shopping. I might cancel that subscription however. I am really annoyed right now because they changed their return policy and they try to force ads on me while at the same time reporting their modt profitable quarter.
