That's the National Defense Sevice Medal

It is awarded for service during a time of war. It was awarded for periods that included the War on Terror, Vietnam, and Korea

I don't have any experience wit these pens, but based on this post it seems that you should be able swap in a #6 sized nib.

I get a page showing "Error establishing a database connection"

That's the reality of public school teacher pay all over the country.

The national average is under $70k

Not a big gamer, myself, but it seems like Valve has done a lot of work to make many (most?) Steam games run well under Linux.

Drivers have come a long way, and a lot of things just work, but it can definitely depend on what hardware is in your system.

Yes, it's 34 district crimes. That's why it's 34 charges.

My understanding is that in white collar crimes like these, the number of charges does not bear on whether the sentence includes jail time for a defendant with no prior criminal history. Unless the dollar amount is exorbitant; but in this case I don't think anybody made any money.

My understanding is that these sorts of white collar crimes don't normally result in jail time for defendants with no previous criminal record, in New York state courts.

I get the feeling that the number of counts doesn't really matter here, because they are not really unique crimes. My understanding is that they brought 34 charges because they had 34 documents they thought they could prove in court were fraudulent, but it is materialy the same crime (deliberately mischaracterizing the nature of the payment)

I think that "wipes out" here is referring to the lead that Trump had in the polls previously. All the states went from a clear lead for Trump over Biden, to basically even, with one exception showing a clear lead.

I think that it suggests a competitive race, rather than one side coasting to victory. It is hard to draw concrete conclusions still, but the clear lead is definitely gone
