    That's another one. If Belgium -didn't- hold of the WW1 Germany Army as long as they did.

    Speaking of countries never fully recovered I watched Bourdain's episode on Paraguay.

    My general ignorance of South American history is a thing that bugs me. I know probably a bit more than an average American but overall I know nothing.

    I had heard of the War of the Triple Alliance but I didn't realize that Paraguay lost 90% of its male population and 60% of its total population. Even if the war was in the 1800's that is going to have effects on a states economy, infrastructure, and political structure a couple of centuries out. Mostly all negative.

    Like damn.

    because Germany's army at the start of WW1 was a scary fucking beast.

    still conflicted about Applecare+ on my iPhone. I've bought it for now but I'm still in the window when I can return/cancel it for full amount. blah. I spend too much time thinking about this but $100 is a lot of money and having $80 on top of that in case of an incident is kind of steep. Paying over 20% of the phone price for an insurance plan is rough.
