Wow. Pretty problematic.

We tend to think of historical times as very low population, because the population HAS grown significantly since then. But the USA Army in the Civil War had about 2 million soldiers in total, with about 1 million serving concurrently at its peak enlistment. 100k Germans is a significant number but sounds more reasonable in context.

I have only ever seen latinx used by white people being performatively anti-racist. Never seen it from an actual Latin American person.

Latine is also mostly used by the same group in my experience, though I have met one non-binary person from central America that self-described as such (though they also realized that Spanish is an inherently binary language and that doesn't change overnight, so they just rolled with Latino when others called them that).

Personally, I think we should take a cue from the Pokémon Fandom, who use Lati@s to describe the pair of legendary Pokémon Latios/Latias. Though that has even less chance of catching on and my reasoning for it is even worse than performative anti-racism 😅

I was gonna say, that sounds like the modus operandi at his one company that's legitimately successful underneath the hype.

Europa Universalis 4, and it's not really a close margin. 1445 hr mark is when you've finally completed the tutorial and can start the real game.

Every enterprise laptop I've seen in the last 5 years?

The entire market is all in on this trend. It's hard to get a laptop with more than a couple usb ports anymore.

The one benefit of the doubt is that the court of public opinion is a much easier conviction than a court of law. And if you fail to get a conviction in the court of law, that's easy ammo for Gaetz to call the whole thing a witch hunt.

Well, your internet IT moms and dads are here to fill that gap!

My dad spent too much time teaching "life lessons" like "brush your teeth" or "eat your vegetables" to get into even the fundamentals of filesystems. The nerve of some people.

RAID in a secondary machine is a backup, but that's because it's a secondary machine, not because it's RAID.

It's not 100% over, but claiming is going just a strong as ever is a bit hard to swallow given that the UK was once the world's largest empire.
