Although there is often only about a 10-15 degree difference in air temperature between my former town in NH and my new home in the DC area, I see today that it is snowing in NH while it’s currently 78 degrees in DC 
Raining cats and dogs with pretty good wind on this side of LA County. Snowed at my kid’s middle school yesterday. My house is at roughly 1000 feet of elevation so there’s an outside chance we could get some flakes here.

According to Weather Underground it’s snowing just up the hill. I put a star on my house’s rough area.
It’s cold and dry in Seattle and I’m getting popped every time I reach for a light switch or door handle. Hate this time of year and considered posting this in the non-political anger thread.

Running a humidifier should help, I’m surprised it gets that dry during the winter in Seattle.
JCO continues to go hard

How is consumption defined?
Maybe they have cheap taxes there and the Belgians, Germans, and French who live close to the border are buying a bunch of their coffee in Luxembourg?
- Small countries tend to be outliers.
- Luxenberg is also the wealthiest country (per capita) in europe by a large margin.
Maybe Luxembourg got so wealthy by making coffee at home.

60% of people who work in Luxembourg live outside the country and commute in, so consumption rates of anything consumed at work are going to be artificially high per-capita of residents.

Yay one more thing to stress about. Although my befriending strangers in bars days are mostly over.

Lower taxes means more people travel to Luxembourg to buy things like coffee, alcohol, and cigarettes which artifically raises the per capita number of all of those products.

Don’t think this is true at all, sales tax in Luxembourg is 17% and I have a hard time believing people cross the border to buy coffee anyway, it’s not like it costs much. I think it’s what I posted upthread, that a lot of people commute into Luxembourg for work and then drink coffee, meaning the per resident consumption rate appears very high.
