She was a Scottish immigrant and her son is first-generation Scottish-American on her side.

I think the person above you is using the US Census Bureau definition of generations, which is that the first gen is the immigrant themselves, second gen their children. That's how I've always understood it.

Gotta imagine that ladder was covered in ice for much of the year.

Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it's not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.

Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice...

Dinner time would be around 0.7083 o-clock.

This is fairly similar to .beat time; in that system you would write it as @708. I guess you could make it @708.3 to be more specific.

Next they'll say voting is a major threat to democracy.

Didn't they just declare at the RNC that they don't want to live in a democracy?

Wait, what's the relative value of gold to silver and bronze

Gold is about 80:1 against silver. Bronze is probably 0.1 in that scale.

This is why i want a freakin 3d printer fr

Your local library may have one to print things for you. Saves that forward investment of materials and (some) skill.

Always wanted an ocean-centric map.

I think the above image is the Spilhaus World Ocean map, which I do find very pleasing to look at.

Trump filled the compliment today

trump could make the compliment and he will back him

I'm guessing "compliment" was supposed to be "complaint"?

This is just my head canon, but the noise actually comes from speakers on board the ship /in the cockpit

I'm pretty sure this was explicitly addressed in at least one of the pre-Disney novels, and was somewhat entrenched with a part of the fanbase afterward.

I got a Rocket League key from 2016, why in the world would anyone want that?

Probably because Rocket League was removed from Steam after Epic bought the developer, and your key may still be usable on Steam.

Clock King (at least BTAS clock king, the one in the picture) can't control time.

He did have access to a device in his second appearance that allowed him to control the flow of time, so he had the ability albeit in an indirect fashion.

Last presidential assassination attempt was Hinkley.

That may just be the last one you were aware of, there have been a number of attempts since, several involving guns being fired at the president (or fired at a position the shooter thought he was)
