Surrealing in the Years: We've found out we know nothing about a lot of Very Important Things Maybe it’s a bad thing that we’re completely clueless.

“In fairness, we also seem to believe that over one-in-three Irish people are accessing social housing compared to the real figure of 9.2%, which begs the question: how much social housing do these people think that Ireland has?”

Here is this week’s column.

Is mass timber equivalent to CLT?

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Big ask for Leinster tomorrow with a less experienced bench than usual.
Feels like we'll need at least 70 from P McCarthy and Clarkson. One of Porter or Rabbah would make a big difference.
But injuries are going to happen during a season.
It'll be a character building lose or a glorious win.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.

Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

It shouldn't need to be constantly pointed out, but any system that relies exclusively on private construction for public/social housing, and as a general solution to a housing crisis, will fail to ever bring prices down

I don't even hate the devs, their job is to make money, this is gov's failure
