In Australia we have jury duty. I won’t ever be called because I used to work in insurance, it’s thought you may have a conflict of interest if you have worked insurance. We also used to have to pledge our allegiance to the queen at school when I was a kid. There is an unofficial culture of tipping. If they give me good service I tip if they don’t then I won’t. We have to pay to go to University. When you graduate You repay a small amount each time you are paid, once you start earning over a certain amount.

Yep, I remember the good old days when big pharma didn't advertise. Instead, they'd hold a "conference" for Healthcare providers in Cancun or, Las Vegas. Week long, have an "introduction" to medication uses. They did one in Orlando when I was young, my mom was an RN, and her and the doctor she worked for went. She got to take us kids and dad too. The convention was so nice, gave free tickets to Disney and stuff... wait, surly big pharma wasn't buying off Healthcare providers to prescribe drugs amd switched to direct advertising to consumers after getting their peepee slaped(checks notes) Yep.

When I moved to the UK, they used miles, and stones (for weight). In the Dominican Republic, they use tarea for land area. I'd say that a lot of metrification is overstated.

Tipping is one of the reasons i can’t afford to eat out much any more. I always tip 20% (or more) unless I’m unhappy with the service - i am just so glad someone is doing this job. But my area charges 13% tax for prepared food (6% sales tax + 7% prepared food tax) , then add tip and inflated prices since the pandemic - and a person on a fixed income just can’t do it, unless they have lots of investments spinning off profits.😊

Hi Briggs, my wife and I were talking about your question regarding moving the Capital somewhere else. So, we think that some place like Denver, Colorado might make sense. The reason is that we felt that the capital would need some of the following: 1. Security-more centralized away from the coastline. 2. Good infrastructure. 3. Good Airport. 4. A medium size populace that might be more relatable to the entire nation that the capital should represent. 5. Accessibility to all, centralized. 6. Room to grow. Although my wife and I are from Utah and more conservative than the Colorado population; however, we believe that the state has more to offer than other states and allows for better representation to all areas and states. Thanks for all of your interesting videos and thoughts. Bob and Sherril

21) Wearing shoes in the house. In most countries people prefer to NOT drag the street filth around their house, especially grinding into into the carpet (another American obsession)! Americans drag the poop, spit, trash, dirt, etc. into their houses from their shoes, and even put their feet/shoes on the sofa and bed! Every time I see it in TV or films it makes me cringe hard.

Weird how there are no noticeable benefits to the paranoia about shoes in the house that the rest of the world has. Americans have many shoes, generally speaking, and are aware of how dirty any pair of shoes is, and act accordingly. Some people have shoes they only wear inside of buildings or on brief walks from the valet parking spot in front of a building directly into that building.

I've been red dye free for over a decade, and the only times I've had a migraine attack since then (can count on one hand) were when I have been unknowingly exposed. It's so bad I have to go to the ER, and the last time I did (several years ago) they sent me home with my nausea still so out of control.

America doesn't have imperial pints and gallons. An imperial pint has 20 Fluid Ounces in, but an American pint has 16 Fluid Ounces. The US got Jury duty from England & Scotland which still have it, as do many other countries that were part of the British Empire. The sheer number of countries with Jury duty disqualify it from your list. The UK has some prisons run by private companies too, it has discounts and sales too, and large coffees (which we got from America).

Metric in the US. I worked at a Department of Energy Laboratory. In the 1990’s they built a new biology building and the big announcement was that it was going to be built using the metric system. I’m sure it made purchasing a nightmare. Fortunately this was at the time that blueprints were beginning to be drawn in Computer Aided software. They could flip between American standard and metric units easily in the design process.

Keep in mind I'm wearing spandex cycling clothes. He said that was easy no way was I carrying. I corrected him saying I was.

Community college in California was $48 per unit when I attended college in the 2010s. Now it’s $46 per unit, but now first-time college students can get their first 2 years tuition-free. My advice would be to get an Associate’s, go out and find work at companies that offer tuition reimbursement, and then go back to school to finish your Bachelor’s. You’ll graduate with way less debt. There’s also universities out there that offer asynchronous remote learning where the price of tuition and fees is a fraction of the cost of in person enrollment if coming to campus conflicts with your busy schedule.

I contemplated Omaha for the same reason. The exact geographic center is between Coffeville Kansas and Arkansas City Kansas just across the border from Oklahoma in nowhere Kansas. Thus I went with Wichita Kansas as the new capital. There's a farm not far from where I mentioned earlier, nowhere Kansas, that has been raided by every federal agency. Apparently, in the early days of google maps, it was what was marked as U.S.A. and any internet crime, scam, etc, that was listed as originating in the U.S.A. pinned that farm. There's a KZbin video about it. It's kinda crazy really
