Greatest innovation in Irish cuisine since the spice bag

Whoever came up with these white chocolate Twirl bars is an unparalleled culinary genius

He’s only 34. He wouldn’t even be allowed to run in our election.

No the ones with deepest pockets will be fine. It’s the ones at the bottom of the affordability band that lose the opportunity to buy a home so it can be given to someone else, paid for with their own tax money. Tough to swallow for anyone that can *almost* afford a home.

Unless state built housing can use different bricklayers, electricians and water pipes than the private housing it’s the same thing.

Unless that creates new housing that wouldn’t exist otherwise, you’re just spending a lot of money to take a house from one person to give to another. Spend it on builders, materials, water and electricity infra, new land to zone. Create executive zoning and permitting powers. Put the money to work

That’s not some scumbags acting the bollocks anymore, it’s domestic terrorism and should be dealt with accordingly.

The amt of things still broken in the new iOS is appalling.

Text doesn’t match keystrokes, AirPods change volume on their own, apps crashing, text proofread jumps to under your thumb and can’t closed, share menu keyboard covers the message box…it’s goes on.

Worst Apple software in recent memory.

JG missed a trick by disappearing instead of committing to resign immediately and trigger an election with better candidates

It’s not clear which evil is lesser. Every option is humiliating.

Is Heather still trying to campaign or are the party just making her humiliate herself to try and get their expenses back?

So apparently the vast majority of Irish people can’t tell that that Sinn Fein video of Catherine Connolly doing keepie uppies and playing basketball with some kids is AI generated.

I have them and was disappointed. You have to preload the audio files onto them which can be a hassle in a Spotify world. Then when I got to the pool I learned they don’t play loud enough to hear them clearly.

1.2 ACWR (incl weekend rest) this week but as high as 1.8 earlier in the week. Reluctantly banking the recovery time over the weekend.

iPhone Air wouldn't be for me but hopefully the thin frame prompts more innovation in battery tech for future Pro models.

Thought I’d build to running 5k in a month or two but it’s at least a year away.

Lads, weighted vests are no joke. Just went for a short 4k walk carrying 30%BW and and I could collapse.

General Ireland appreciation

General Ireland appreciation, business and investment policy complaining, photography, blindly confident investing and finance thoughts, tri content and training updates, startups and tech thoughts, some climate content. Who knows really...
