I keep seeing articles saying the new boil from the White House's ass will be 90,000 square feet. I feel like that can't be right, as it's over 2 acres, or 0.8 hectares, or 8360 square meters. I would believe 9,000 square feet, the size of a good-size city home's lot. Are people not checking their numbers, or is that actually supposed to be 2 frakking ACRES of ballroom, like the size of a football stadium (not just the field)?

Welp, Duolingo finally drove me away completely. I stopped paying them after they forced me onto the path system, and they keep making little things worse. The new forced review lesson sets for certain languages if I hadn't visited in a little bit (that I couldn't skip because of the path) were not usefully scaled, relevant, or usually needed. But the final straw was that I was so anxious and frustrated during my first day with the new energy system on Friday. I decided it's not worth it at all any more. I have enough anxiety and enough time-sucks that I don't need this app in both categories. So now they won't get my ad revenue either. So long, money chickens.*

* A regular ad I get is for an app I think called "Township" and it's just 3 chickens and a couple piles of money on the screen...don't know, don't care.
