More like a bacterial infection imo

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, the Irish ONLY had potatoes as all other crops were cash crops for tax.

The British government could have 100% minimized the damage. But they didn't.

Good Job PM Peel. You fucked up.

Sorry, Cthulhu -- you'll always be my number 2

Correct me if I'm wrong, my knowledge of this history is iffy at best,

Iirc, Early Judaism wasn't monotheistic like it, Christianity, and Islam are now.

The people at the time had multiple gods, one of which was a minor god associated with storms. At some point this god was boosted into popularity and became the primary god of the old testament and eventually THE god of the 3 Religions.

The line being written like this could be a holdover from this extremely early culture which was initially Polytheistic.

OR it's just a funky translation and just ment to mean "Don't worship someone as a God like their any better than me.THE God."

In fairness, when you're used to windows those kinds of warnings basically mean nothing to you.

It's like when you hit snooze on an alarm so many times that you just sleep through your alarm and it becomes background noise.

Also, it's defiantly a glaring issue if installing steam means uninstalling your whole DE.

Still, as a tech YTer who was exploring something out of his elements he should have looked into every error, warning, and message.
