One thing I love about lemmy (and I promise there’s no sarcasm here) is that I can post about numbers being used and someone will respond “here’s why numbers are better!” I genuinely enjoyed and appreciate your post.
I strongly agree with you!
One fun fact I learned years ago is that, in many if not all states, exit numbers correspond with mile numbers. It seems to be pretty common knowledge, but not universal.
I’ve been in a committed relationship for a long time, but before I was, I used to drive fairly long distances for dates. A few times I was able to impress my prospective partner by giving them a fairly accurate ETA using mile markers, exit numbers, and my speed at the time.
… Most of them didn’t care, though.
Every interstate is a highway, but not every highway is an interstate.
Dave Barry posited a very similar theory about black socks, IIRC.
2·1 day agoI have one connected to the internet due to WAF, but I never signed into an LG account on it. As a result, the “home” page just shows something about signing in “for the full experience” rather than any ads.

What services?
I feel this very strongly - I could even have written this comment - but I’d like to mention that Adventure Time is amazing … Two seasons in. Before that, it’s not a good show.
I appreciate both your joke and, most especially, your username.
I once asked, or at least implied, a similar question. I never got a response; you are fortunate!
How did he punch himself over the internet? I can only imagine a boxing glove with an API.
4·6 days agoI was severely tempted by the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen car. (Not that I could have come close to affording it.)
It’s been a lot of years, but I thought it very strange going from Maryland (where the exit numbers corresponded to mile numbers) to Delaware (where they didn’t, but I don’t know if they do now).
