I live in a city with great public transport and for years Google maps was great for bus/tube times and walking routes. Now after 6 years of no probs Google maps has forgotten the bus stop right under my window and thinks I should walk up or down the road to the next stop. It has forgotten the crossings what are still there, no road works or anything, and thinks I should take 15 min detour instead of just crossing the street right then and there. It’s clearly going downhill here.
Not to worry, I’m convinced you’re a good fren everyone wants to hang out with. Goblin-ness not mandatory.

But do you pile and hoard stuff, do you like to sit in a mound of blankets, do you eat stuff indiscriminately? All of that matters…

My cat had her water jug/mug on the corner of the coffee table. It was pointless to try to keep her off the table, and she actually kept hydrated so…
My friend is French, his wife Portuguese, they live in England with their two children. When all together, they all speak English with each other. When the kids are with one parent, the speak that language. In the park with father, French. Baking with mother, Portuguese. Bedtime stories are in the language of the parent reading. Kids switch between languages easily and understand what to speak with whom. Effortless trilingual.
Another friend moved country with her husband and had three kids. Home language was always mother tongue, both my friends had fairly bad English. Everything outside parents is in English for the kids - media, school, anyone outside the household. Again, the switch for the kids is really easy, they are fluent and have no accent in both languages.
The temperatures are intuitive for me because Celsius is all I’ve known. The car going 60km/h or 100km/ h I know the difference and how it feels sitting in the car. The speed of wind in the forecast needs to be m/s to make any sense. Over 20 m/s I better tape the windows so that the storm won’t break them
Why limit yourself to only tacos? Spoon a dollop of sour cream on your chilli or any hearty soup or stew, Mix it into gratin or mac’n’cheese before baking, make a salad with fresh cucumber and tomatoes, dill and/or spring onions… The world is your pot of sour cream
Sorry for the videos! I don’t hate them but I can definitely see the attraction of images. Sometimes I need help with just one little step and a 30min video is really an overkill.
The last guide is very good for continental knit stitch. It shows the left hand with the yarn and where the fingers are in every step.
As for the mount. The gist is: you enter the needle the certain way and wrap the yarn the certain way. If done correctly, you’ll end up with a nice fabric. If you mix techniques without knowing, it’ll go haywire. This article has plenty of visuals and explanations.
First off, sorry I confused you even more because I used a wrong word in one sentence, edited it now.
Two distinct styles are continental knitting (yarn coming from the left) and English knitting (yarn coming from the right). Both have slight variations with their own names but it kinda makes sense. The schematics you provided don’t demonstrate how the yarn is held or hooked behind the needle so it’s not specifically continental. However, the way the needle is inserted to the stitch and the direction the yarn is wrapped, that’s western mount. Good thing is, most infomaterials in English are based on western mount so the long descriptions of complicated stitches and decreases and all are based on it regardless of your continental vs English style so all that makes sense.
If you want some good visual for continental knitting, check out Nimble Needles or Roxanne Richardson in YouTube, both very proficient teachers. For Norwegian knitting check out Arne and Carlos, that’s a subgroup of continental.
If you want me to ramble about mounts or find good visuals, lmk, otherwise I feel like I’m dumping too much stuff on people who haven’t asked for any of it.
It’s a very good visual how the stitches are formed. The e-book you linked goes even deeper, showing all kinds of useful basic stitches and providing a few easy to follow patterns.
But I would argue those stitches in OP are not continental per se. Continental knitting refers to holding the yarn in left hand, opposed to English knitting where the yarn is held in right hand. The imagery is for knit stitches, western mount, meaning that the leading leg of the stitch is on the right. In western style the same, leading leg on the right, would apply to purl stitches as well, as seen in the book.
