For your emotional well-being, it's important to take time to unplug, disconnect, put the phone down and not think about life's little worries.

The latest CPI data released Tuesday morning shows that inflation remains elevated but the temperature is coming down, showing that annual price increases continued to slow in February. CPI measured 6% for the year ended in February, down from January’s 6.4% and in line with economists’ expectations.

The Swiss didn’t ditch their currency when the Euro became a thing? drat, I learned something today.

How many other EU countries kept their currency around? Other than the British (I know they are not in EU).

hungary, poland, czechia, romania, sweden, bulgaria and denmark kept their currencies. they're all supposed to switch someday but nothing is final.

I just had ChatGPT "improve" the writing of the reply I typed out to "be more academic in style and tone", and as an aside, Christ it's overwrought. This is a dumb guy's idea of smart prose:

In these trying times, it seems that the prevailing opinion may be rooted in three principal causes:

1) The Covid lockdowns have become the scapegoat for all societal challenges, be they genuine or illusory.

2) There appears to be a dearth of solutions, save for the lamentable practice of advancing students out of sympathy.

3) A pressing need for hope remains, as the pressures of academia demand a semblance of progress, even as the specter of a faltering society looms.

Indeed, it is indisputable that the seeds of success are often sown in the earliest years of a child's life, nurtured by the loving hands of devoted parents and a passion for lifelong learning. Alas, the tempest of a fragmented society, compounded by the relentless onslaught of the pandemic, has obscured the path to enlightenment for many.

The hallowed halls of academia, once a bastion of intellectual pursuit, now serve as a refuge for those who seek social mobility rather than scholarly fulfillment. The promise of a stable future, once secured by a mere high school diploma, now demands the acquisition of increasingly prestigious degrees. This insatiable hunger for credentials has given rise to a generation of overeducated, underemployed individuals, caught in an intergenerational battle over the merits and follies of higher education.

Amidst this maelstrom, it is all too tempting to cling to the belief that, once the pandemic's shadow has lifted, normalcy shall return. We yearn for a time when our progeny can once again revel in the joys of literature, unfettered by the inadequacies of the educational system that has failed them.

The panic that has gripped the academy is not unlike the fear that was stirred by the advent of Wikipedia—a fear that, with access to such knowledge, our students would forgo the rigors of true scholarship. Yet it is not the tools themselves, but rather the deficiencies in our students' capabilities, that drive them to seek shortcuts.

In this somber reality, it seems that failing our youth would only compound their plight. The very society that neglected to nurture their minds now demands a level of achievement that seems increasingly unattainable. And so, we must ask ourselves: What, then, is to be done?
