Watching Drew has become a daily routine

[RicktheCrofter]

Several years ago I was reading an article on world literacy rates. It depended on standards. In the US one needed to be able to read at a forth grade level in English to be considered literate. In other countries one only had to be able to write their own name to be considered literate.

"Dong" as the name of the vietnamese currency just means "copper" as it was used to make coins historically.

[Feltzy-]

I think poland has the coolest (and funniest) translation of the currency. The currency is called "złote" which translates to "gold" but our smaller currency which is used the same as cents or pence is called "grosze" which is similar to the word "groszek" meaning "peas"

[Ryan-kosy]

Drew should be a geography comedian (idk if he is already)

[BigGIsCool]

Kim was right, North korea is the best place on earth.

[QwoaX]

3:10 I think Germany is so low because of our Minijob system, which a lot of students, parents and some pensioners use.
It's a kind of contract that allows your employer to not pay any social security, including health insurance but your gross salary can't be more than 520€ per month at 12€ minimum wage.
Meaning you can only work up to 520 hours a year with such a job (minus sick leave, holidays and vacation days (minimum 20 per year with a 5-day work week))
Only one minijob per person is allowed but you can do one additionally to your main job.

Fun fact about russian money:
It does sound like it goes from word "to cut", and the thing they were cutting was some kind of metal, a lot of people in russia call rubles "forever wooden". If you say "can you give me 100 wooden" person will undersand you(If you speak russian, of course)
Also, we have a secondary currency, "Kopayka", which is 1/100th of a ruble, kinda like american cents. Although, since 1 ruble costs around 1 cent, there are really no need for secondary currency, so it slowly dies out.

10:45 In Dutch we used to have Rijksdaalers (Rixdollar) / Daalers. The name came from the German Reichsthaler / Thaler. When the Dutch colonies (eg. New Amsterdam (New York)) in America were founded this currency was used there. The Americans took the Dutch word Daaler and changed it to Dollar.

Sweden almost became a nuclear state. They were like 1 year from getting a nuke, but then they canceled their nuclear program

[MTTT]

The reason as to why pound is related to meassuring is because, if you had coins worth one pound, no matter from what material, then all the coins together would weigh one pound. That was because the worth of a coin was determined by the material it was made from.

[justthosecrafters]

3:11 I thought he was going somewhere completely different with that Germany slogan about work 😅

[_MC]

100% literacy rate does not imply that absolutely every single person is literate, but that the rate is above 99.5%.
It's actually not very unlikely that North Korea might have achieved this since all Communist or former Communist nations have put a big emphasis on ground level education, hence the number for Uzbekistan as well.
Actually all of the former USSR has higher literacy rates than the US or Western Europe.
(No, I'm not a tankie.
One achievement doesn't make these places cool, don't worry.)

[demeter]

3:13 well it's actually "Arbeit macht frei", but they don't use that one anymore

[itsmebatman]

Joachimstaler: What it means is, that there is some place called Joachimstal (Joaquin's valley) somewhere. And in this valley they produced coins. The Germans called these coins Joachimstaler, which later was shortened to Taler. If you speak Taler in slang/local dialect it might sound like Dollar.

[theoc]

To talk about Japan, they have good work hours just a shitty culture that fears leaving when your shift is over 😅 Its been changing with the newer generation but its still pretty noticeable.

Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 160]










































The Transall C-160 is a military transport aircraft, produced as a joint venture between France and Germany. "Transall" is an abbreviation of the manufacturing consortium Transporter Allianz, comprising the companies of MBB, Aerospatiale, and VFW-Fokker. It was initially developed to meet the requirements for a modern transport aircraft for the French and German Air Forces; export sales were also made to South Africa and to Turkey, as well as a small number to civilian operators.

Germany is so low in the working hours table because we not only have part time jobs (e.g. 30 or 25 or even 20 hour weeks) for people who can't work more, like disabled people, parents, students, etc. Also for those who are self employed and just starting or taking it easy, a 15-17 hours work week employment is not uncommon, cause it takes care of your health-/social ensurance completely, which is partly mandatory and very expensive if you can't share the cost with the employer. We also have so called 'mini-jobs' or 'side jobe' with less than 15 hours/week that are very common with students - they are tax and ensurance free, but can really save your life when you are a student living alone (and as a student you don't have to pay health/social ensurance, cause you are included in your parents ensurance for free till you are 27 or finish education, whatever happens first).

Oh, also we have a lot of paid national and local holidays(specially in the 2 southern states), we have paid vacation of 22-30 workdays (that is for a fulltime 5 hour week and you have to take 5 days to get the full week off), paid sick leave, partly paid maternity leave and parental time (the 1-3 first years of your newborn child that you are off work to spend with your child), so those are ofc. not working hours.

10:30 solders train to dig actually and they can make that hole in no time. I mean they used to make entire trench systems within a few weeks

In Bulgaria, the official rejection rate is <10%. The unofficial is 50+%.
And we are your allies and servants. Thanks, Americans.
