First thought as well 😂

Sad, he probably would’ve broken 2 hours.

Am I the only one who thinks ‘terminates’ isn’t the best synonym for fired with this employer?

No, they don’t mean Jews religiously. They mean Jewish through heritage, similar to the way many countries do citizenship by birthright rather than birthplace (like the US does). In Hebrew law(?) the birthright is passed down by the mother as prior to genealogy that was a surefire way of proving your parent is who they say they are.

My information is secondhand and any corrections are welcome.

Edit: read below for more accurate information.

Wonder why they didn’t invite Italy this time? 😂

It’s weird though my 1920s price research shows $20.67 per Troy Ounce. Example: https://sdbullion.com/gold-price-by-year

I might be mistaken and that’s the US government’s set price for gold in the early 1900s, a lot of these other links show it closer to 10x that value.

Sub 2% interest rates for 2 years for loans and then jumped to ~8%

Market is wildly variable.

Yeah I was going to say Upper Middle Class but I’ve seen some dumpy houses for those prices and it’s really titled by if you bought when interest rates were low vs the last year or so.

$300/oz in 1920?

Which one? Gold was $20.67 per Troy ounce in 1920, that’s about $664.55 per kilo. 10 kilos about $6,645.55 I’m believing the first search result https://www.countryliving.com/life/g33398396/what-things-cost-100-years-ago/ says that matches up. Gold is about $64,900 per kilo today so $649,000 for 10 bars, that’s a low cost of living middle class place or HCOL very small house that needs renovation. I could see you meaning these days and houses in some areas are in the $6 million range, guess they should be location specific.

Yes real Houthis, definitely not CIA in a Houthi overcoat.

Yeah they said only pickles, and even with the liquid in the pickles it’s so briny that unless they are also drinking additional water their kidneys would keep using more water the same way drinking salt water would cause. I took the question as only pickles and that, as you said, would only last until dehydration sets in. Now if they have unlimited fresh water I’d say until malnutrition so maybe a few weeks, a few horrible weeks. Just playing along and speculating, I am not a MD.

Who do you think would be the DNC candidate?

It’s already happening in the world.

Understandable. I was trying to cover all bases regarding your path.

More affordable and better job opportunities is a stretch. I would research where you want to live, once you have a few locations picked out. Find a way to spend some time there to be certain you enjoy the climate, social life, and entertainment. Then start job hunting in those areas, unless you can already remote work, and pick one that works for you in terms of finances, work life balance, and is commutable. Once you have a job offer in hand plan your move. Personally I would rent for a bit before buying a house, who knows maybe you end up hating the hot summers of the South, or the fridged windy winters of the Midwest. After renting for a little (and finances allowing) think about buying a place to settle down in.

That should cover the basics but I did just do that from memory. Anyone think of any more tips let em loose.

Even the cheap wedding drones that were converted at the start by Ukraine were in the $400 range. Now the cheapest quadcopters they’re using are $1000 on the low end, with the ones Russia is using have a low end $35,000 price tag. Still ridiculously cost effective compared to a Patriot Missile.

🤣

I mistook this for abolishing the monarchy. THAT would have been wild.

Ever detail I hear about these makes them sound more and more like Tuscan Raiders on Tatooine.
