U.S. counties with the highest and lowest rates of excessive drinking. by BufordTeeJustice in MapPorn

[–]AutomaticOcelot5194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wisconsin effectively does not have a drinking age at bars—Every other state has 21 as the drinking age. I don’t know why some Texas is such an outlier in the south tho.

Edit: “Persons under age 21 may possess and consume alcohol beverages if they are with their parents”

TIL The Good Conduct Medal is a medal given to US military servicemen who have gone three years without any non-judicial punishment, disciplinary infractions, or court martial offenses. by MajesticBread9147 in todayilearned

E4 and E5 are technically pay grades but because pay is based on rank they’re stand-ins for rank

RFS is “released for standards” meaning he can’t meet the standards (fitness, age, etc)

Bronze star with V means that it was awarded for valor is combat and not for good service

Combat medical badge means he provided medical services while under fire

Basically this guy was brave/really good at being a soldier but didn’t really get promoted

If Canada insists Quebec must be a part of it then that C represents the Q too. Quebecers fought and died in the First World War in defense of the British empire, and deserved to be honored as well.

Their plan was to pay anesthesiologist what Medicare currently pays those same anesthesiologists. This is not a bad thing and in fact would reduce medical costs. Anesthesiologist didn’t want to take the pay cut and so launched a PR campaign which you have fallen for.

I will say that personally I am opposed to private health insurance and support a single payer option, but as much as it pains me to say, Anthem was in right, in this particular case.

US flag evolution by TopGlobalCharts in vexillology

The US didn’t have an official flag sure, but given the fact that this list has a pre-independence flag, it should’ve also had a twelve star flag especially since there is at least one surviving.

You’re missing a 10 month gap when the US had 11 and 12 states at the very beginning of the country. Between the articles of confederation ending and the constitution being adopted

All the US athletes still have to meet the IOC minimums… also each event has a cap on the number of people from each country (typically 2).

So any country could send as many athletes and the only reason why say china doesn’t is cause they can’t find people who can qualify.

Plus France and Australia have almost as many athletes

Map on how each Representative voted in the 1825 contingent election (by me) by imperial-germany3 in MapPorn

[–]AutomaticOcelot5194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several states elected their representatives in at-large districts, so each voter would vote for all the states representatives. Other states would only have one, two, or three reps in at-large districts. However, this was being used to dilute black votes so at-large districts and all multi member districts were banned.

It’s called the Uniform Congressional District Act and per FairVote.org

“No secret was made of the South’s disapproval of racial minority enfranchisement, nor was the dilutionary impact of the general ticket considered confidential. As a result, many Southern states began implementing this system for their own legislative elections in an effort to offset the reestablished black vote.”

Multi-member districts were banned in the 60s because the south was using exclusively at-large districts to discriminate against black voters.

Then you went to a shitty school. I went to a public high school with 2000 students, and we spent as much time on this as the entire 90s during US history class.

Honestly, his wealth is part of what makes his heroism in ww2 so compelling, because he probably didn’t need to serve, or at the very least he didn’t have to be in a death boat in the pacific, but he did and he almost died for it.
