If a train were to go along that whole motorway it would take up a fraction of the space, carry most if not all those people, and move them faster than this.

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.

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

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

In North America they teach that North America and South America are 2 separate continents.
When someone refers to “America” in the contexts of countries they 9 times out of 10 mean the US. Since people from there usually call themselves “Americans” rather than “United statians”
