The eastern U.S. was so cloudless last week due to a massive high pressure system that you could actually see fall colors from space. in c/mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world

I'm surprised no one has brought it up so far. This is from way back when the US was still expanding east to west. Land Ordinance of 1785

It was literally just a means of dividing up the land to make it easier to manage. This is why much of the plains states follow such rectangular county/state lines between water geography.

Edit: States that had their counties/borders established before this act will have more organic geography following boundaries. Counties/States settled after 1785 will display this grid-like pattern.

I know they're harmless and help with pests. But they got away too many legs and move just as fast for me to be comfortable with them. I'll take cute little jumping spiders webbing things any day over these.

I'd gladly trust drinking a Dr pepper over anything to do with Dr Phil or Dr oz

Ukraine justifies Kursk attack in first acknowledgment of incursion into Russia in c/world@lemmy.world

I've been seeing a few details coming out from this about gas pipelines being a big reason for a push into this particular region of Russia. But things I haven't seen talked about are things like this will cause Russia to have to spread troops thinner from the eastern fronts to handle this incursion. It's also far enough away from Belarus that they don't need to worry about any collateral damage. And most importantly, it's in the general direction of Moscow so it cranks things up a notch in terms of proximity to the general population.
