Yes, good points, just what most would consider overall better whether. But not clear how to pin it down specifically.Bystander said:

I think it depends on where you have been raised. My friend who grew up in NM considers everything below 25°C as bitter cold whereas my well-feel temperature depends heavily on humidity. I even like -10°C if it is dry and warm clothes are available.WWGD said:
I guess that the average human being considers anything around 21°C plus minus 3°C as an average temperature as desirable.

Another measure is Heat Index, That is some (unknown to me) combination of temperature and relative humidity. Also sometimes called Feels Like.
It seems to be (or was?) used mostly by weather forecasters on the TV stations.

Doctor Who Invented a Brilliant Storytelling Trick — And Turned Itself Into a Phenomenon
https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/doctor-who-books-timeline-canonI watched the original Dr Who in the 1960s with my father. I thought it was great. Tom Baker (the fourth Doctor, 1974 to 1981) was my favorite.

How many counties are there in the USA? I mean, there are really, really many and definitely too many for a republic:
Btw., Germany seems to be full of topologists. We call counties circles.

I've seen a student residence that didn't have that property. They'd installed swipe card doors, but some had been installed the wrong way round. So there were places you could get to that you couldn't get back out of if you didn't have a card.WWGD said:
(Obviously that wasn't strictly true, as you could go out of a window and presumably the fire alarm released the doors (although you possibly shouldn't bet on that given that the doors were obviously fitted incorrectly).)

Maybe not. There are townships, parishes ( LA*), etc.Bystander said:

A really bad headline -
The P-38 Lightning was a twin prop aircraft. I don't recall the US or allies flying jet aircraft during WWII.

Don't know if it's just the latest scam going around, but I've received several emails from Eastern European women asking if I'm available, interested in marriage, asking for my " coordinates" : Yes/no, age, employment status, etc.

Awkward moment. Split and fell at a ( somewhat of a ) stranger's place, had nothing sturdy to help lift myself up, as stranger walked on, me kissing a wall to lift myself.

Kissing a wall? That reminds me of that American tourist in Israel who couldn't remember the name of that famous location in Jerusalem, so he asked the cab driver: "Can you drive me to that famous place here where the Jews mourn and cry?" He drove him to the Jerusalem tax office.WWGD said:
