I'm a big fan of Denmark and Copenhagen. Most underrated city in Europe. But yeah go during the summer.

Not a fan of fireplaces roaring with snow outside?

I suppose the waterfalls are beautiful and that becomes irrelevant in the frozen winters.

In theory but not practice. I've thought about spending a winter in Maine. Sort of on bucket list. Sort of is doing some work there.

10 to 1 odds you'd grow to hate it in under a month. I mean not if you're in a city like Portland, etc. cause there's still things to do. But when your'e up here and it's -20 you aren't doing **** outside.

I have a distinct memory of some february I want to say it was 2017 or 2018. We had a dumping of snow then a ton of high wind and cold. We took our dog out to use the bathroom, we didn't even make it to the end of the block before my dog was jumping at me telling me to turn around. This was the dog we had to walk 2-3 miles a day. He was too cold to walk a quarter mile. It was something like -40 with windchill. I was wearing 2 layers then snow pants and winter coat, and balacava with a beanie over it and my heavy gloves. It was brutal, I couldn't imagine how cold my dog was.

There was one February years ago, where going into the month I told my wife that I would bet the high would never get over 32F. And it never did.

I'd love a vacation (5-7 days) in cold like this, but my wife would leave me for sure at day 8. She hates the cold, and it doesn't even get cold here
 
I heard the story in passing and I thought it was Hezbollah using exploding pagers on terrorist attacks. Then I actually look at a story about it and it's Hezbollahs pagers exploding on them. Wtf. How did they do that. Did the create exploding pagers and somehow get Hezbollah to pass them out to all their members? I get some innocent people have been hurt but **** Hezbollah. Maybe start kicking out any Hezbollah members hiding out in your vicinity.
 
Proud to see a fellow economist shining on the world stage like that.

And grateful for the helicopters and as importantly the rhetorical support he has provided to Ukraine in its fight against actual for real tyranny.
 
Israel doing some ****ing work. Love to see it.

When daddy is back in office we will put the screws to Iran and continue on with Abraham accords. Lasting legacy of peace in the region will be the result.

My word act like you don’t know term “daddy” reference for Trump is a clowning of people damaged by Trump. I guess you’re now one of those in the group.
 
Could have had a world without Russian aggression as well as Middle east wars.

But 'sensible' people could not just admit to themselves that 2020 was stolen.
 
People would rather their feelings be spared then have peace around the world.

Its so sad and pathetic.
