Yeah, some colleagues from India expressed their concern last week, because they heard how hot it was here.
Felt really weird to have that be actual concern and not just them mocking us, because they're used to + equipped for worse temperatures.

Also funny: Bosnia and Herzegovina has almost exactly a 100th of the population of the USA.

It just isn't easy at all. If someone editorializes a Wikipedia article, they can:
- make claims without citation,
- cite a source which does not support the claims,
- misrepresent a source by citing it out of context, and
- perhaps most devious of all: Just not talk about aspects that they don't like.
You could write an entire Wikipedia article on Adolf Hitler with perfectly cited sources, which never mentions the genocide, the warmongering, that he lost the war etc..
You can use Wikipedia as an entrypoint for research, but you have to actually read the sources and find additional sources, independently from that.
Well, yeah, but it does also say that he was born in "Austria-Hungary (present-day Serbia)".
I mean, OP did respond by now, so I guess, it isn't about that guy either way, but don't think my brain did too bad of a job. π
I'm guessing, it's about this guy?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du%C5%A1ko_Popov
Do not ask me why my brain remembers shit like that...
I mean, I also have some autism flavor with enhanced memory, and I don't either remember my age most of the time. It's just not terribly relevant information and it keeps changing every year as well. And for the few situations when I do need it, I can work it out with maths, it's fine.
