Well you get what you collectively vote for.
It’s also Eritrean Cultural Day in Germany
Same here. My maternal and paternal grandparents came from Norway and had to renounce loyalty to the King of Norway and Sweden. FYI—Sweden controlled Norway until 1905 when Norway became an independent country.
Same thing with Dad’s family. The Austrian empire screwed everything up. My earliest ancestors all reported coming from Austria. As time went by and their children started getting married, they all reported coming here from Hungary. Then, as time continued moving on and we started with death certificates, they all got it right and reported they came from Czechoslovakia. LOL.
My great, great, great grandfather came here and had to renounce citizenship from Germany...I have his citizenship papers
RE:has one on speed dial (just dated myself there...).
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I loathe the internet/smartphone age.
What replaced “speed dial”? It was around when the circular device called a dial on a landline phone had already been obsolete.
Some comments from a site called english.stackexchange.com/questions/:
1) What used to be called “speed dial” is now a short list of “favorites”.
2)Anachronistic might be a better term than obsolete. There is no dial on the Android, so “speed dial” is a throwback to an earlier era when phones had dials.
3)I think there’s a difference between contact lists and speed dial, even though they can accomplish similar things. Speed dial assigns the task of dialing specified numbers to specific buttons (or other controls/UI elements) to save typing. Contact lists are lists of people’s details with phone number, email, address, usernames, etc; many phones will let you maintain multiple contact lists and contact them in different ways when you view the list. Contact lists have automated the process of looking up a phone number and dialing; speed dial was an earlier alternative when that wasn’t possible.
RE: Happy Guatemalan Independence Day.
Each one of us celebrates that in our own personal way.

Culturally enriched.
Guatemala is independent?
Diversity is our strength. /s
Yup, that’s why CA went to all mail-in.
Because they’d vote for this.
SNORT.
