  • If you ever visit New Orleans be sure to tour the pharmacy museum. Located in an actual former pharmacy in the French Quarter, it is filled with examples of this sort of thing along with arcane medical tools that look like something from Dead Ringers. It gives some really great insight into the state of medicine at the time as well as the exploitation perpetrated by quacks.

  • NOPD's stated goal is 1600, a ratio of 1:227 persons.

    The actual ratio is 1:385

    Cleveland, similar in size to New Orleans, has a ratio 1:310. They also state that they are suffering from a serious police shortage.

    By comparison:

    NYC has a ratio of 1:166

    Chicago 1:180

  • Tbf, NOPD don't arrest many people anyway. There's a massive cop shortage, only 944 officers for a city of 364,000 with skyrocketing crime rates. Moreover, they've been operating under a consent decree by the DOJ since 2012. They're overworked, underpaid and under the thumb of the feds so in response they simply don't do shit.

  • The "british" accent as we think of it has evolved greatly since the colonial era. I'm not a linguist but I'd suggest the similarities you hear between Kiwi and American accents are things that were ubiquitous at one time then other English speakers lost them along way.
