It's common in the U.S. to say "out west" and "back east" which, on reflection, appears to have come from the way Europeans settled the continent. "Up north" and "down south" are map directions. Am I right?

Serious Question: Who, in your opinion, is the customer? The person you deliver to or the person who paid the postage?

I've always felt torn about that. But I'm old school, retired in '08.

My usb-c is as bad as usb-a

When charging, I have a 50-50 chance of inserting it the "right way" without it telling me it's slow and to check my connection. Is it just my Galaxy S22 Ultra, or is this common?

Can anyone read this? It is on the back of a photo taken in the early 1900s

It's not English, but I'm hoping someone can help

[Unknown >English] This is on the back of a photo from early 1900s, possibly German, maybe Yiddish. And it's cursive!

I'll cross post to r/cursive, but I don't know if that will be productive. This was in with other photos taken at Ellis Island, I think between 1900 and 1910. Any help will be appreciated.

There is a whole category of jokes that I call nonsense jokes. A couple of my favorites:

What's the difference between a duck?

-> One of it's legs is both the same.

Why don't you ever see an elephant hiding in a tree?

-> Because they're really good at it.

Have you got a favorite?
