which one do you say first, the north/south one or the east/west one

we have a grid here too, i'm not unfamiliar with it. but you go to 17th and welton or 20th and speer, not 93rd and 27th

street then avenue

your grid sounds nice and all, but how many blocks from welton to get to speer?

i appreciate nyc for ease of navigation, but tbh most cool cities navigate in terms of subway/tram stop + 2 block direction.

I've always liked the numbered and alphabetical* streets on the west side of sf, 48th ave is the beach and 2nd is [nearly] the east end of the park. anza is north and wawona is [almost] the zoo

*mostly, things get pretty weird between cabrillo and irving. also no 1st or 13 ave

when I was in Brooklyn for my wedding I ordered some DoorDash to our hotel but because of duplicate street addresses in both manhattan and Brooklyn (and me just looking in “New York city”) my poo poo went to the waaaay wrong place. nyc is a confusing place for a country bumpkin like me

that's why nyc addresses still use "queens", "brooklyn", etc.

if you address something to "new york, ny" it will go to manhattan. if that's wrong and if you're (not very, but pretty) lucky it will eventually get to the right borough

e: for a country bumpkin just use geolocation to find what zip code you're in. it probably still won't be the correct one (they change basically by every 4 blocks or so) but close enough to get you in the right borough at least

in my part of town the north-south streets are named after the provinces and are ordered the same way east-to-west, so as long as you know where all the provinces are you know where the streets should be. except saskatchewan and newfoundland, which they skipped. also yukon is in there, but not any other territories, and columbia is west of alberta for some reason. also there are only 10 provinces so this only holds for a small part of town. simple as

I stuck my finger into North Korea but didn't go any further because I heard bad things about the last guy who went in.
Went all the way inside Russia. It was about what you might expect.
Never been in Iran but they unironically seem cool. The people who talk to me might self select but they're usually very progressive and easy to get along with.
So gently caress Russia ❤️🇷🇺, Kill North Korea💀🇰🇵,Marry Iran 💍🇮🇷

Also since we're talking about North Korean animation. Everyone check out Squirrel and Hedgehog. It's genuinely good and they make Americans into badass wolves with a sexy fox commander! Like honestly when I watch it I'm quite flattered as an American. Naturally we don't win but only because that wily squirrel and hedgehog have no fear and would consider death on the battlefield to be the highest honor. How can we even compete?

Very long running, there are murals and signs for this show all over DPRK.
Since we're talking about distribution, yes it was licensed for dist to an Italian studio and for whatever reason DPRK has gotten along with italy at various times.

Hell yeah.

I'll accept a named street here and there as long as there are plenty of intersecting numbered streets. But if the number gives me no indication of where it is on the street I will judge your city planning.

Papua New Guinea leader takes offense after Biden’s cannibals comment

Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister James Marape accused President Biden of disparaging the South Pacific island nation by implying that an uncle had been eaten by “cannibals” there during World War II.

...

“Perhaps, given President Biden’s comments and the strong reaction from PNG and other parts of the world, it is time for the U.S.A. to find as many remains of World War II in PNG as possible, including those of servicemen who lost their lives like Ambrose Finnegan,” he said.

“The theaters of war in PNG and Solomon Islands are many, and littered with the remains of WWII including human remains, plane wrecks, ship wrecks, tunnels and bombs. Our people daily live with the fear of being killed by detonated bombs of WWII,” Marape added.
