#ZIP code

[juh-wasnt-deactivated19691231]

wrote a poll about zip codes, the USPS implementation of postal codes. wanted to know how much of the lore was common knowledge. apparently the fact that “ZIP Code” is specifically the implementation in the US, a registered trademark of the US Postal Service, developed by and for the US, and not a generic term for postal codes is uh. not common knowledge. so now i’ve got people bugging me about being US-centric and ignorant of the rest of the world because i asked about something that exists solely in the US because that’s what i wanted to know about. i guess i got my answer though

I did learn that the Philippines refer to their postal code as a zip code, but they only have one! Neat

Mr. and Mrs. Stephen D. Calhoun, Jr. mailing a letter and walking the dog, 1949.

"Zone 28" on the mailbox refers to the part of the city they were in. It was a precursor to ZIP codes, which would incorporate zones into their numbers.

Today, 1 July, is Zip Code Day, as Japan's first postcode system was launched on this day in 1968 (Showa 43). Postage stamps were issued to publicise the postcode, and subsequently the five-digit postcode was changed to a seven-digit postcode in 1998 (Heisei 10).

今日7月1日は1968年(昭和43年)のこの日、日本で初めて郵便番号制度がスタートしたことから「郵便番号記念日」です。 郵便番号を周知するために切手が発行され、その後5桁だった郵便番号は1998年(平成10年)から7桁に変更されました。

A nearby tablet shows the Post-Code of Hammurabi, which was established so that senders of complaints could be sure their tablets went to the right place.

Archaeologists have confirmed that cheaper shipments were made without resorting to the Post-Code, however this led to errors which commonly involved the towns of Ah and Um rather than the city of Ur.

The Post-Code tablet shows the slightly increased but guaranteed-delivery charges laid down after consultation with the priests of Markdup.

Shoutout to the time my partner and I got so excited to see Ea-Nasir's hate mail in person that we failed to notice the Code of Hammurabi next to it

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass the Freedom to Vote / John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act now please!

1,167 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

I'm a constituent who is deeply concerned about the state of U.S. democracy. In order to make progress on the issues shaping our communities, we must have a government where everyday people have a voice. But right now, state legislatures across the country are passing bills that attack our freedom to vote, and billionaires and corporate interests continue to spend big to influence our elections. That's why I'm urging you to support the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect our freedom to vote, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and ensure fair representation. We must have a democracy in which all of us - no matter our color, zip code, or income - have an equal say. Thank you.

I did not know this show (Encyclopedia on HBO) existed - I got my educational music videos from Square One.

Zip Codes in a Radius!

It has been a minute! Here's one for you, I needed to find all the zip codes within a certain distance from a city, in a certain state. For instance, every zip code in Texas within 150 miiles of Texarkana.

I get Texas but I thought Salt Lake City area and Nashville would be the most expensive…or are they in these zip codes? I also thought it be Philadelphia or Pittsburgh for Pa, not New Hope.

D.C. is not a state….
