In Vietnam, there were 58k US dead for the whole war. US military dead in WWII was 400k. 30K dead/month gets you to WWII losses in a little over a year. US dead in Afghanistan and Iraq was much less. I'm wrong about a lot of thing

Freebies and discounts helps get people in the door. Having an experience that people don't hate might keep them there. I don't buy a lot of games, but when I do, I don't usually look at Epic. I'd rather buy on GOG or St

FreeBSD isn't too bad, you can build/install compat packages back to FreeBSD 4.x, and I'd expect things to largely work. At previous jobs we would mostly build our software for the oldest FreeBSD version we ran and distribu
