How could it be less complicated?
I don’t really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.

Ah, interesting. The number of digits means something too. 3-digit numbers are… Some other kind of routes. I’m too tired to remember exactly 🤦🏻♂️
Edit: auxiliary routes
It’s really not that complicated. The only other direction to go on I-65 is north.
Interstates with odd numbers run north and south. Even numbers run east and west.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Who remembers when you needed a separate "Download Manager" to handle concurrent downloads?
6·14 days agoI remember pulling an all-nighter to make sure my Internet stayed connected and stable long enough to download Netscape Navigator. I think it was like 18MB. Previous attempts failed, and I didn’t know of any download managers back then

Technology@lemmy.world•Google confirms YouTube Music issue with Premium users hearing surprise adsEnglish
5·19 days agoI remember noticing YouTube’s software quality taking a nosedive when they shoved Shorts into the app. At the time, it seemed like it was hastily done as a reaction to TikTok’s explosion, but it’s still a buggy POS , even after all these years.
IIRC, some bald eagles were found with neurological issues caused by nicotine from cigarette butts too.
I heard he’s actually in trouble for financial stuff, not the sexual stuff.
(I have not verified this, so I might be wrong)
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about some OpenClaw-like agent doing something like that. Some people are pretty reckless with it
I don’t know about horses, but this can happen to dogs. The condition is called GDV. It happens without warning, and the only options are emergency surgery (gastropexy) or euthanasia.
PSA: A gastropexy is MUCH cheaper when done preventatively vs. on an emergency basis. If you get a puppy that is a deep-chested breed, get a gastropexy when spaying/neutering.
The emergency surgery for my senior retriever mix was $6k+ and a rough (for both of us tbh) recovery. I’ve known others who have lost their beloved dogs to GDV. It sucks
Sure. I was mostly just trying to answer your question and clear up some of the confusion. In all continent models, Canada and the USA are indeed on the same continent 🙂
Oh that was centuries ago. In the US, we’ve even divided states in a similar manner over the years. The Province of Carolina became North Carolina and South Carolina. Dakota Territory -> North and South Dakota. Virginia and… West Virginia (not sure why no “East Virginia”).
I suppose you can say it’s “wrong” on the Internet, but if you tried the six-continent model on a school test in an English-speaking country, it would likely be marked as incorrect.
There are also five- and I think even four-continent models in some cultures. The thought of any of them being “wrong” is really interesting, to me. Personally, I’ve never really thought about any of them as “right” or “wrong”, just cultural differences.
Most English-speaking countries teach the seven-continent model. There is no place named “America,” so when native English speakers omit “The United States of” for brevity, other native English speakers understand that they’re referring to the USA.
It seems to cause some confusion with cultures that are taught the six-continent model (in which there is a continent called “America”). I would guess that it’s because a lot of people are unaware of these cultural differences.
Edit to actually answer your question 😅: In English, Canada is in a continent called “North America”
Ah, good call. I didn’t think about that being self-promotion, but I suppose I can understand it.
Good luck! 🙂
Are brass nails expensive? If you were to drop a Monero wallet address in this thread, I wouldn’t be surprised if you eventually gain the ability to buy a few 🙂
