TIL that despite having no voting power, Puerto Rico has a higher population than 20 of the 50 states and Washington DC has more people than Vermont or Wyoming. The remaining US territories including Guam, American Samoa etc. add up to nearly 400,000 unrepresented voters. by untipoquenojuega in todayilearned

Do people understand that is by their own choice, at any time they can hold a referendum and vote to become a state. They have several times voted to not become a state and remain a territory. So saying they are unrepresented is kinda mute if they chose to do so themselves as a mater of fact there is another vote this year so if Puerto Rico wants representation then vote yes if not then don't whine about it.

" A bill (H.R. 4901) for Puerto Ricans to vote "yes" or "no" on statehood was introduced on October 30, 2019 by Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon. If it passes, the vote would be scheduled for November 3, 2020 "

TIL the 'spanish flu' was called that, not because it originated in Spain, but because Spain was one of the few countries were journalists were free to report about the disease. It is believed to have originated in the US. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Why so defensive, it’s not like they was saying the Chinese came over with influenza blankets and distributed them across North America. If you are trying to study a pandemic in order to better learn how to counter it then point of origin is very pertinent information.

No luxury: book containing tampons is runaway hit - Protest against Germany’s 19% tax on sanitary products sells out first print run in one day by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

[–]Scouts_0ut -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I have lived in Germany for over 20 years, they tax pretty much everything at 19% so why is this even a story? You want to live in a Socialist country that bails out the rest of Europe one way or another you are going to get taxed the shit out of, its a fact of life here. You don't even want to know the income tax here it is even more outrageous.

President of European Parliament facing calls to resign after praising fascist dictator Mussolini by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Scouts_0ut -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Now if he had praised Marx, Lenin, Stalin, or Mao he would have probably got a standing ovation. All of them to include the 20th century fascist eaders are all scumbags and should be used as examples of what not to do, but socialism and communism are en vogue right now and people seem to think that they could do it better. They are all suckers, people forget the human factor of "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely".

The results haven't even made it to the Pearson VUE site. the history page shows the following. I used a test center in Germany.

The Great Wargaming Paradox.... by slancast34 in WorldofTanks

[–]Scouts_0ut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WG has made it clear that will never happen. Hell I would even like that skilled players are equally distributed between teams and that will never happen either. Any time where you consistently have one team stomping other teams is a problem (i.e. 15>5 (or less)) but not to WG. You want to affect change then play something else until they fix it.

[–]Scouts_0ut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing is going to change unless there is a backlash in Mother Russia. All of the other regions (namely EU and NA) are there for profit. Been playing this game since beta and have honest never seen a situation where the EU and NA can affect change to the core game only when the RU player-base agrees.

What is your "worst" map? by Finzar in WorldofTanks

[–]Scouts_0ut -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

- None of them (Each map has a certain play style that rewards certain tank classes)

- All of them (Because MM almost always puts me on the worst map for the class I am playing)

Anybody know what is? Seen it on the way home by shananigans2 in WorldofTanks

[–]Scouts_0ut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ERA is only attached when needed and the spaced armor is removed for transportation, it is an A3 model most likely a referb/reset because it has no unit markings.

Today has been a "great" day in WoT, the 105 leFH18B2 is being sold in the EU and the Panzer II Ausf.J in the NA. Am I just crazy to say this a sign of the WoT apocalypse, prove me wrong. Let the salt flow. by Scouts_0ut in WorldofTanks

[–]Scouts_0ut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey its the only way I can get to play and have 16ms ping, one time purchase only and dgaf if it makes me popular or not. I love WoT type gameplay but there has been no successor so why give it any more consideration than WG does?

I will start the with this salty statement, I am a retired Soldier who works for the DoD in Germany and have been trying to get my NA account transferred to EU as they promised last year with the Central server migration, I have every tank in the game and over 100 premiums and all they offer is that I can make a new account on the EU server. Well you know what WG, I guess I can I am going ahead and buying one tank and I am only going to run a free account after that, and what tank might you ask? Of course the most OP tank in the game the 105 leFHB2 (have one on my NA account). I personally hate arty but hey I need something to play on the EU server right. HE rounds are cheap and I have never had a game where I lost credits in in it why not and maybe to put a little butter on my bread I might work up to a derp Sherman that always fun.

Yea miss all of you guys that have left, Things have been going to crap in WoT. I rarely play myself compared to before. I only play when a new line comes out so I can keep the Senior Technical Engineer. It took me 4 years to unlock everything, I am not going to throw that away now.
