I don't think he has ever actually tried to buy happiness.
Yeah, he wants to buy happiness but he doesn’t really want to pay full price.
Because it’s not the case that money can’t be spent in a process that yields happiness, it’s that money alone isn’t sufficient. Happiness is the return on investments in kindness and other genuine acts of love, but he only has money and spite, which don't foot the bill.
28 ÷ 31 × 0.5 m = 0.45161… m which, to one decimal place is still 0.5 m, so I think the admins have you here if you weren't more precise in your negotiations.
For Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion, you only need to calculate with twos:
Divide by two
Add two
Subtract two from the tens (i.e., subtract 20).
For extra accuracy, after adding two (in step two 😉), slide that number over to the right (i.e., divide by 10) and add that on. Do this as many times as you are comfortable with (which can be none for rough calculations).
For example:
90ºF divided by two is 45
45 plus two is 47
Subtracting two from the 4 in 47 leaves 27
This is quite rough so round it off: 30ºC
More accurately:
90ºF divided by 2 is 45
45 plus two is 47
Sliding 47 over to the right makes 4.7
47 plus 4.7 is 51.7
Subtracting two from the 5 in 51.7 leaves 31.7
This is a little rough so round it off: 32ºC.
Probably unnecessarily accurate:
90ºF divided by 2 is 45
45 plus 2 is 47
Sliding 47 over gives 4.7, and again is 0.47
47 + 4.7 + 0.47 = 52.17
Subtracting twenty makes 32.17ºC
There's still an infinity of sliding that could go on so, once again, round off: 32.2ºC.
The usual (F - 32) * 5 ÷ 9 formula gives 32.222…ºC.
If that's a preference for weird quotations, your brain must be even colder than I thought. Can I get you a hat—perhaps one with two cans of warm, tasteless beer strapped to the sides—to heat it up again?
When I saw it earlier, the screenshot looked Microsofty, so I checked Bing Maps, and it suggested the same diversion (although now it routes more directly). Maybe that's the underlying service, and it's biased towards sending folks via the Pacific Northwest, because even staying overnight in Chicago seems like it'd beat a four-day trip.

President Madzuki will continue to protest his kidneyapping as long as he has a pulse. After all, the peaple of Vignazuela deserve better than another Juan Garbanzo.
It rewards preventing growth specifically via redistribution, whereas a laissez-faire approach is quickly punished, in brazen defiance of Western economic principles.
The indoctrination of tall poppy syndrome couldn’t be any clearer: accumulation of tetrominoes is so terrible that it’s better to spread them out and have them be destroyed.
