That’s odd. I’ve driven both standard and automatics. The left pedal was the clutch. The right pedal was the brake and/or accelerator so that you never used both at the same time. Oldest vehicle was a classic ‘47.
maybe they were told to use the clutch as a brake?
I love maps, I could examine them for different things or reasons for quite a while. Very recently I have found out about some political anomalies played out on maps.
Not all of the continental US lies below Canada & the 49th parallel. Besides a few tiny uninhabited islands in the "land of lakes" border area there is a small community that is part of Minnesota, USA north of the assumed official US/Canada border & has no land connection to the rest of the USA: Angle Township. It is north of the 49th Parallel due to a cartograper's error in drawing up the original map for the agreement managed by Ben Franklin. It is the northernmost point of the continental US & has less than 200 inhabitants. I have no idea about how they deal with Customs/Immigration when going shopping or to work, etc...
Perhaps in a bit of fair play there is a tiny bit of actual Canada below the 49th & fully attached to the US just across from Vancouver Island.
There is also an outpost of France up near Labrador in Canada. Not French Canadian, nor a possession or colony but the last remnant of "New France" in the New World. It's actual French territory that votes in French elections & the inhabitants are French citizens flying that flag: St. Pierre & Miquelon.
The last geographical oddity I learned this week: What American state is closest to Africa?
Right?
I have a chromebook and lots of functions are just different enough to not be readily known. I did learn screen shot and am thrilled with that.
(and, posting this in case anyone knows----I would love to be able to do the google image search but from the limited searching I have done, I don't know that it's doable on a chromebook. )
Do a regular search, then above the listed results click on Images.
Thanks but I mean that if I have the image as a screenshot and want to find out what it is. (for shopping as an example...if I find a rug I would love to be able to see who else sells it and for how much$. Frequently one seller will call it Anna Mae and another one might call it Blueberry for example ).

This wasn't that recent but it was a good lesson to learn.
I took the wire cage off of a small bottle of champagne and left it on the kitchen table. I went to get something in the sink and while my back was turned, I heard the cork pop and hit the ceiling. I was the only one home. I thought the cork had to be pried out with my hands. Now I know - never underestimate the danger of a champagne bottle.

So you were planning to drink the whole bottle of champagne by yourself, haha? Just kidding - Good on you. I miss the days when I could plan on having some treat all to myself.
i have had a Chromebook for years, will not subject myself to all the problems of regular computers. But I just accidentally found out if you have the cursor at the bottom and move up you access all kinds of things including google docs which i use sometimes.
I finally learned how to take a snapshot of a webpage on my Ipad. I kind of knew I could do it, but I only learned recently. Being able to do this comes in handy!
Good for you! I need to learn that. I tried to take pictures of a webpage with my phone, lol.
A random lawyer I was on the phone with, talked me through creating a PDF file out of an email or other document---I had always asked someone else to do it. Why didn't THEY tell me this? LOL. It's just a drop-down menu when you are ready to print. Who knew. (PC)
