I think that with modern technology a lot of the old ways of navigation have been lost. The fur trappers were the first non natives to dicover the west. I don't think they had maps, it was passed word of mouth. When fur got scarce they moved to other areas. Some of it they got from natives but a lot was just wandering.
I found the book to be mostly common sense, just observe things around you, where ever you are just use what's available.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too!

I just opened Outlook and I got these fancy new icons.
And Word has them too.
All of Office I bet.
Forget bugs and features in Windows, Visual Studio, C#, Azure (DevOps) and SQL Server, ICONS IS ALL WE NEED!!! 
Now let's find an icon that offends me...
Why does the Archive icon have a green lid!?[^]...

 Globalization is funny, at times.

I find the VS icon very similar to this: Zware jongen[^]
That really pisses me off

I know, there's a song about it: "The Boogie Woogie Beagle Boy from company B"

Interestingly, their boss was (until a slurry of PC-think took over) called "Black Pete".
How was that translated into Dutch? "Zwarte Piet" != a bad guy.

That US TV and movies reflect the reality that 87.6% of people in the world are gay?
Am I the only one who's sick of it?

Whenever I hang out with friends we make sure there's at least one non-straight and non-white person (not necessarily the same person) in our group so our reality can reflect that from TV.
As a result we never hang out anymore and I don't have any friends

Actually, we're staying away from Transformers.
They're... complicated[^]

No, no - VW. Transformers would be for Ford van cup holders.

Oh, I know a couple of gay devs (not a couple couple, but literally two).
The trouble is that I know hundreds of devs, so I'm wondering which 87.59% of them is in the closet.

They are trying like the dickens to desensitize us.
Aside from sports (not soccer btw) My tv is off until the ball is actually in play largely for that reason.
Someone tell me, what is the connection between dog shows and full on ferries?

So dont watch it. Those series are crap anyway.

The only current TV show I watch is Grand Tour.

Which is a bit weak this season IMHO.
At least they are apparently dumping "conversation street" and the tent for Season 4, to concentrate on the bits they do well - going from A to B in silly ways / vehicles / hats.

also toned down a lot now (perhaps from having an American boss from a large international corporation) is offending people nations.

You're obviously wiser than most -- and more likely to become even wiser, rather than dumber.

Don't have a TV is not equivalent to don't watch TV. The question is, does he stream?

I dread to think what "stream" is a euphemism for.
