"Thousands" are more relatable than "millions" to most people. Millions is a fanciful number without much meaning, most people exist dealing with thousands in their day to day life. It's a much more easily quantifiable.

A million seconds is about 12 days,

A billion seconds is 31 years

I remember when Real Madrid loaned Fernando Morientes to Monaco (ages ago). Monaco met RM in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and Morientes scored against his parent team to knock them out. This was also around the time where RM would get knocked out every time they went up against a French team.

And they did it again in 2015, Madrid loaned Alvaro Morata to Juventus; when they met in the semi-finals, he ended up scoring the winning goal that knocked Madrid out of the Champions League.

He's right, 'Chinese' is a group of hundreds of related languages, many of which are mutually unintelligible. It's an important distinction.

Earn 50k a year and you have a million in 20 years.

To have a billion you'd have had to start doing that around the time we invented Pottery.

To have Elon money you'd have had to start before Homo Sapiens evolved.

If you have 1,000 one-dollar bills and lose one you wouldn't really care, it's chump change to you.

A billionaire could feel proportionally blasé about losing a million dollars.

I don't see any suitable threads, but want to share this, because it's one of the craziest seasons I can think of.

VPS, a smallish team in the Finnish top league was the dead last at the end of June with only one win and 6 points in 12 games. AFAIK they didn't do drastic changes, but apparently decided to never lose again and finished the 3rd, four points from the first place.

I choose to believe that Finnish clubs are just a series of impenetrable initials chosen essentially at random, like mediocre terrorist splinter groups, rather than it just being impossible to fully transcribe Finnish words in written form
