    I edited my post to include metric units for those numbers.

    And sure, it’s fine to say that is short from your own personal perspective but yes statistically the average height was less back then. Even so the average height today is only about 10 cm more.

    You may just be taller than average if you are that incredulous about his height. I don’t consider 5’5" (1.68 m) to be that far off from the average height of men in most countries today. If he were under say 5’ (1.52 m) I would say that is significantly shorter.

    1.68m is 5’5" which is yeah short but not too far from the (self-reported) average male height in France today which is 5’9" (1.75m) (Bayesian estimates actually say 5’7" (1.70m)). During Bonaparte’s time average male height in France was 5’4" (1.62m) so he was actually taller than average by a tiny bit.

    I have ADHD too. The trick is to trick your brain into thinking it’s urgent by training yourself to have anxiety anytime there is a looming deadline.

    Worked great for me and I got a 4.0 in engineering. But now I have anxiety issues.

    I started playing it late 20s. It really is a game anyone can enjoy. Particularly the Java version with modpacks (some of these modpacks are probably actually unplayable by children because of how complicated and technical they are).
