The persecution of the Irish was a leftover of the British's attempted cultural eradication of celtic and Catholic identities. British media often portrayed the Irish as violent and backwards, and the living conditions the British enfo

Somebody who expected to be able to hook more into it, or intentionally left that many steps to allow someone else to hook into it. I've seen things like this where the intended result is that you can modify one parent launcher so othe

For the difference between mobile and consoles, it depends on if you have publisher or port team backing or not. Many indie developers do not get devkits, do not get proper access to Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation Network, or Xbox Live

Historically the South China Sea was named that in English because the British just sort of considered everything along the coast "China." This included Thailand (then Siam) and Taiwan (then Formosa). After Vietnam fell into separ

Originally each manufacturer was approached by various oil companies to use specifically their blend of combustible fuel. Not all of it was even gasoline, or at least gasoline as we know it. Some madmen even made two stroke kerosene engines

It's a single track design with no fallback. If one of the vehicles has a malfunction with the software it's stuck there and blocks the entire tunnel. Not even staff can get past without climbing over the cars. They have to have a

Agreeing with moralestapia in that this isn't something to downvote. We're seeing this with water utilities, where outside companies are brought in under contract to solve water efficiency issues as droughts get worse. Cibola Ariz

It's easier to track fund transfers than it is to track small snippets of assets being traded and reassigned. The smaller the pieces and the more of them there are going in all different directions in the first few steps the harder it

The uneven availability of information means that no, it's not better to just design a better ID system. Data brokers give corporations far more advantages than a normal person could ever protect themselves against, because even if the

To a certain extent diplomacy requires intimidation. If both parties benefit from the negotiations but there would be no downsides to defying agreed upon terms the diplomacy has failed. The entire point is to place restrictions to discourag

You're right that I got the two confused. The 3800 Series II was descended from the 1960 aluminum "Fireball" V6 and used a block derived from it's successors, but if I'm remembering correctly was part of the engine

The 1990 to 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix in SE and GTP trim has a steering wheel I love, because it and the steering column are adorned with buttons you can press without moving your hands. On either side of the gauges are even more buttons, mak

Oldsmobile at the time (around 1990) had a reputation for being the car of the not-quite-well-to-do middle aged. Cars that were positioned upmarket like the Delta 98 and Cutlass Ciera were very cheaply and poorly built despite having standa

I started using Chrome in 2011. Went back to Firefox in 2014 once Chrome became a massive RAM glutton. I keep telling others to move to Firefox, but they won't because "Everyone develops for Chrome so I just test in Chrome,"

Just hit F12. Even faster, and it'll remember if you were in the console or the inspector the last time you closed it on that page. I use it quite a bit to just delete elements for pages I'm only going to visit once or twice, but

It makes me wonder how difficult it would be to create a shader in order to replace everything with LED or even eInk displays. The cost is certainly a large factor as print news suffers more and more capital depletion.

Dunno, but it's definitely something to consider. Birds are suspected to be able to "see" magnetic fields, and a lot of the electronic warfare both sides are waging require distorting these fields to a massive degree. If a bi

When you combine that with Germany and Prussia's lack of access to steel it meant nobody could make anything whatsoever. The impact of not being able to import steel and French occupation of the one major remaining steelworks plant in

When the bridge was originally constructed the concept of such protective impact barriers was quite new. The ship is also very different from the comparatively snub-nosed envisioned C7 types, trans-Atlantic cruisers, and barges that would&#

This is something I noticed as a kid. We had a creek in our backyard, which,depending on the temperature the water would be louder or quieter. This annoyed our dog, which after a number of times caused me to notice. Running water is louder

There's a balance to the ecosystem, though. People in the creative fields have always had to rely on eachother to fill in gaps in skill because it's mutually beneficial. With things like this voice changer, one has to think what o

If you like the styling of an older car there are plenty of conversion kits for a variety of torque/kilowatt outputs, sans batteries. Ford already sells factory kits, wiring harness and all. The downside is you're taking care of t

There's a bit of vicarious schadenfreude that Spanfeller's tactics were so horrific that nearly all the staff of G/O media from before 2020 abandoned ship and went on to create sites that are more successful than what the sta

This is already happening. I know someone who's making an adult game in Twine for fun, and they use AI images for just about everything because they're not an artist. They say while there's inconsistencies, it gives them more

Same here. A lot of artists and a good chunk of the recording crews from before the early 1980s are dead and have been for decades, and the only ones getting the money are the record companies. Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Jim Croce, Stevie R

The vehicle seems to behave very strangely. There's lift-off oversteer as though it were rear-engined, but also severe understeer when turning under full power as though it were a front engined truck. The brakes act like they lock up w

The '70s were also a transitional period in bridge design where truss bridges were being phased out in favour of newer types of hybrid suspension bridge. Many of the iron and steel bridges of the 1890s through the 1970s were later repl
