  It was a typo but honesty, I think it fits perfectly so amma keep it.

  Iirc they imported Corn from the US since it was cheap. But corn is a odd crop, it’s difficult to digest especially for the Irish who weren’t accustomed to the crop. So it provided minimal nutrition for the Irish.

  This was framed as “Look, we give them food and they’re still starving! We’re wasting money, giving it to the Yanks, all for nothing! This is clearly god punishing the Irish for their sin!”

  I don’t remember the exact responses by different groups in Parliament, infect Peel was probably wasn’t ass harmful as the others.

  Although, I think it’s funny to know that the British PM at the time was named Peel.

  The Irish potato famine wasn’t exclusive to Ireland. It actually first appeared in the US and spread to Europe.

  The issue was, unlike other nations, thr Irish ONLY had potatoes as all other crops were cash crops for tax.

  Thr British government could have 100% minimized the damage. But they didn’t.

  Good Job PM Peel. You fucked up.

  I’ve never understood thr gendering of stuff like this.

  Like bro, soap is soap. I rather smell like roses and lavender than a mix of industrial shit and BO.

  I just realized the meme says 10 MILES above yht speed limit.

  10 km/h above the limit is pretty standard here in Canada.

  10 m/h over is crazy.

  Did Microsoft leave their marketing department to AI or something? They really seem to be dropping the ball rn with app names, and recognition.

  There is photoGIMP which redesigns the UI to be more like Photoshop. There’s also Photoshop keyboard shortcut lists out there that you can change GIMP to.

  It’s not perfect, but it defiantly helps for a lot of people.

  For whatever reason, GIMP really wants to try and not be Photoshop when that’s literally the thing it’s competing against.

  French has the fleur De lies which, although it was a symbol of French royalty is still used on the flag of Quebec and some places in Canada identify the French language option with the flag of Quebec.

  Realistically, the best option would just be a shorted abbreviation of the language in that language. Ex. Eng for English and deu for German

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was visiting Paris, a tour bus we got on had a audio guide, the languages were all labeled with national flags.

  English -> UK flag French -> flag of France Spanish -> Flag of Spain Portuguese -> Flag of Brazil

  Even in Europe Portugal plays second fiddle for it’s own language

  “Gaming is dead” mfs when they discover indie and AA games from smaller studios that actually care about the games they make.

  When I was visiting Europe, seeing all the trees so well integrated into urban areas was so nice.

  bro, my math and calc professor made us use this for our course despite the fact that our college really wants profs to stop using 3rd party sites like these and just use Brightspace.

  It was like $100 CAD too. And it’s a fucking WEBSITE. Why is windows required? Do you need to ring 0 access so I can solve a derivative or something???

  Honestly how much more expensive would glass mugs/cups be? Like A&W Canada will give you a chilled mug for root beer (and other drinks but the root beer is iconic)

  If it’s to go then then paper cups are fine. The paper straws are just annoying…
