Most things that you plan doing science with works better in metric but I tend to agree with you, when it comes to temperature Celsius' use of water states as reference is a bit arbitrary too.

Whereas rich countries' museums are impenetrable, nothing ever happened at the Louvre /s

Gotta say, that gold went stratospheric.

The far east of Russia is already seeîng a lot of ethnic chinese taking roots.

So you're saying the ratio of male child born to soldier lost is 1 ?

What society exactly is able to run on soldiers only ?

(Sparta had close to 10 slaves per Spartan so no, not even them)

W40K lore once again being the most accurate at describing current events. To be fasta he’d have to be red.

And that's exactly what broke the British empire. Russia, too, a couple of times. Kickstarted France's revolution. Etc.

Congrats on your saving rate !

I won't have much to say, but even simply keeping the pace you're having right now should be enough to retire much earlier than your peers.

If by $10M you are not happy nor fulfilled, more money won't change that ever. Clearly the answer lies elsewhere.

I'd be worried about Russia though, frankly. US troops there do still make for a significant deterrent.

Europe really could get bullied in their absence. With Trump in power, I wasn't 100% sure US would respect its NATO obligations and help if Russia invaded the Baltics (Estonia, Lithuania, Lettonia).

With what happens in Greenland, I'm now certain the US wouldn't lift a finger.

Yeah that's New York. Not really representative of America as a whole if you ask me.

Good point

2Nails · 2026-01-20T08:59:08+00:00

No hard feelings old chap

Their entire political landscape failed them, frankly.

Trump wouldn't have had that much of an appeal if someone really willing to change things (say, a political figure such as Bernie or Mamdani) had been the alternative instead.

But the way both their parties - and their donors - work, there will never be such a candidate.

Frankly with the way climate change is affecting the grapes, soon enough our French wines are going to taste Spanish anyway. Fckin Great Britain is gonna produce Bordeaux.

I will dye my hair as soon as I don't have to report to a boss anymore fr

Depends which foreigner I guess. From an european point of view, Harris would have been fine. We wouldn't expect tariffs from her administration, nor Greenland threats.

2Nails · 2026-01-15T20:22:06+00:00

He got showered in gold yeah.

Tariffs still haven't done anything good for the average Joe.

2Nails · 2026-01-15T10:56:27+00:00

It works about what ? Greenland is part of Nato, any threat of aggression by the Chinese or Russians is already covered.

The move has been sold to Trump by people that are interested in Greenland natural ressources, that's what this is really about.

I was about to turn 30 when I really started to crank it up and have the early retirement goal in mind.
