Do you think humans will get it together in time to prevent climate change from having a huge adverse affect on the world?

Sorry, that's kind of a gloomy question. But hi!

At this rate, no.

It's going to take something massive enough to cause an existential crisis in humanity, and by then it'll be too late.

On telephones with letters arranged on the number pad, why are there not letters on the 1?

On telephones with letters arranged on the number pad, why are there not letters on the 1?

The letters on the telephone helped to distinguish exchanges.

For example, I grew with the first three digits 829. this stood for Turtle Creek - 9.

By dialing 1, you were telling the exchange that this was to be a long distance call and you were about to enter an area code, where exchange numbers can be reused.

I can't believe I forgot about dialing one for long distance. I swear I'm not that young. gonk

Then why the heck is Lancaster, Grant County, Wisconsin 723? Or the 608 region 608?

I'm not too sure. Though are you sure that's the exchange for all of Lancaster and not a smaller subdivision or municipality in the area?

Then I cannot say, that's probably a question for your local phone company.

Edmund received something better than anything Father Christmas could have given him by his experience.

Wisdom and forgiveness.
