To paraphrase Linus Pauling, "If you want to make good comments, you have to make many comments."
For 7% the true value is about 10.24 years.
Depends on how close you want it. It's within 10% of the true value up to X = 25.
Good rule of thumb btw: if something grows by X percent per year, it will double in 70 / X years. So 7% growth means doubling every 10 years etc.
Imgur bugged in its usual way and I saw this post with the comments of an Israel post. I was a little amused comparing the video to all the calling out of genocide and excessive force etc.
Per portion: one chicken leg, one tomato (sliced), two potatoes (cut into bite sized pieces), one smallish onion (sliced), one bay leaf. Salt and pepper.
Contrast Chapham's "The much-sustaining, patient heav'nly man / Whom toil and sleep had worn so weak and wan, / Thus won his rest. …" with Wilson's "Odysseus had suffered. In exhaustion / from all his long ordeals, the hero slept."
#6 I have Wilson's translation. It's very nice, lots of preface and end notes too. And the language is more modern in a way that makes it more readable than say the Chapham.
I'd just look it up in the OED if I had a copy or a subscription

Tiffany is a great example. It sounds like a modern girl's name, but it's very old.
I don't think English had the word "melody" in 1036. It's a French word, so likely come after the 1066 Norman conquest.
Made a small mistake: it's not from modern Swedish "påse" but Old Swedish, "pusi /posi", which developed into the modern påse after the borrowing into Finnish.
Finnish "pussi" comes from Swedish påse and it's cognate with the English word "purse". Both come from the same Proto-Germanic root, "puso" meaning a bag or sack.
Compare to slightly older English "we seek thee".
For me, the bins are out by the street side every day (four physical bins with seven different collections because one is a four-part multibin). Every now and then I notice they've been emptied, when I'm taking something out, but I don't really know the schedule.
Marie Sharpe's smoked habanero is good.
Animagraffs on YouTube does great 3D animated videos going into the details of things like a submarine, a steam locomotive or the Golden Gate bridge.
Properly, carpaccio is a dish of very thinly sliced raw meat, topped with various things, but lately the meaning has been expanding and it's could be anything thinly sliced like these radishes.

The Great Pyramid has enough stone to build a wall that's 2 meters tall, 20 cm thick and over 6000 km long. (For the minority, that's approx 6 ft tall, bit less than a foot thick, and almost 4000 miles long.)
Dig him up and shake his hand

I'll be surprised if the Starliner ever flies again.
This disagrees a little, though as I said, I'm sure the issue has not come up in practice. https://yle.fi/a/3-6748324
Yes, technically a very wealthy person with no income will get minimal fines, but I'm not sure if it has ever come up in practice yet.
Most likely your billion is in assets that provide interest, which counts as income. Complicated edge cases tend to end up in court anyway.
The formula for a day fine is "Your monthly net income, minus 255 euros, divided by 60. Subtract 3€ for each underage child you have."
You get fined a certain number of "day fines" and the value of each day fine is based on your average daily income. It's meant to be a replacement for community service. Instead of making the banker sweep streets for two weeks as punishment, let them work their regular job but take (half of) their income from that time.
The formula for the day fine is "Your net monthly income, minus 255 euros, divided by 60. Subtract 3€ for each underage child you have."
There is a minimum. The fine is basically some multiple of a "day fine", computed from your income, and you get fined a certain number of days depending on your infraction. The minimum day fine is 6€. So if you get fined 20 days for speeding and have no income, you'd pay 120€. My own net monthly income is around 3000€, so my day fine is 45€ and I'd pay 900€ for the same infraction.
