@NTA said in Awesome stuff you see on the internet:
(EDIT: note the stated rate of homeless in stated the US is 0.17% but in Australia, based on ~105,000 per night being classified as "homeless", we are closer to 0.4%)
I understand you have to be super careful about cross country comparisons. They measure it differently and can be significant.

"It's not an exaggeration to say that Lawrence Mabey, from Palmerston North, was one of a select group of airmen who helped to win World War II" Yes it fucking well is an exaggeration FFS - great story but the 'Hitler changed the pattern of bombing because of the bombing of Berlin' myth has been well and truly debunked, along with the fact he was the gunner on one bomber. Not taking away from the guy and his crew, and comrades. But stuff like this makes people not respect real history unless it is over the top sensationalised - not that a gunner (who was an ace - gunners rarely did anything but put fighters off their aim) then flew a damaged plane to land on his own after his crew had bailed in anyway needs to be sensationalised - cos it's fucking amazing!
