So, here's what I've been thinking this past week:

After watching Wolfwalkers, I got curious about the conflcit between the Irish and British that has been going on for centuries. This kinda led to a rabbit hole where I went "wait what about the Scotts/Welsh/pre-English?".

I was then reminded of the Old Prussians, and then read more into the Kingdom of Prussia, leading to anti-Polish sentiments and policies against partioned Poland under both Prussia and German Empire, before it eventually came to a head with the extreme anti-Polish policies of Nazi Germany.

And then I started to wonder: How often did this happend in Europe?

How many European nation-states' formation involved discrimination, ethnical cleansing, or outright exterminating other European ethnic groups as a part of homogenizing their culture.

What were the groups that existed before, and did they presist like the Poles and Irish, or die out and only have scant sources that only prove their existence?

I'm asking for any examples and any books recommendations that can go into either specific events or a broad overview of these kinds of actions in European history.

The biggest aviation crushes of mine are the Albatross D series (III and V specifically), the Spad XIII, Sopwiths (Snipe, Camel, Salamander), and the Bristol F.2.

For me, WW1 planes are THE best looking planes. It just feels like with these planes, the designers had a artistic vision on how to give their designs personality. They're just some of the best looking planes, and no other plane since can compare.

I like my K8. When it works, it feels good. have had it since 2023

But recently, I've been having two issues: Connectivity and Power

CONNECTIVITY

1. It will hold keys. I'll try to type "Mr robot" and it'll go "Mr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."
2. It will ignore and stops typing. So i'll type "M" then nothing and it will either do problem one and go "rrrrrr" or go "Mot".
3. It also frequently disconnects.

This is how my desk is currently laid out (I know the right is cramped: waiting on a new monitor and am working out the K&M issue)

My only theory is the WIFI card BT connection just isn't good. Because I'm currently typing this post on the left side (closer than normal), and it's not having these problems. If the BT connection had to go in a linear line from the normal placement, it would have to pass though 2 of those 3/4" thick shelf legs made of polar wood.

So I might need a dongle.

But it also only does this problem on occasion. Sometimes I just have a normal connection regardless of placement.

POWER

When I charged it before, the light would be solid red (charging) then green when it was fully charged. The power light is never green. instead it will "yellow/orange" (in reality, it's just flinkering between red and green, giving a illustion).

It also feels like it doesn't hold a charge as much.
