I think all these guys have read is that they watched 300 when they were 19

today was the first day in weeks where it wasn't absolutely pissing rain in Dublin (our side of the same polar vortex) and my local neighbourhood was absolutely buzzing with people in fantastic form at a slight return of that big bright ball in the sky, the most positive vibes in weeks

Having extended family from that same neck of the woods I can say that drinking a pint of milk with every meal is definitely a thing. Milk during the day, maybe miwadi or ribena if it was hot out, beer at the weekends or evenings but never water!

Definitely both. It's rare someone would refer to a creamy pint and not mean a pint of stout, but at the same time I'd say he's being 100% genuine about his milk consumption and the misunderstood caloric content, Irish farmers are built different

It's a small thing but that twee-authoritarian font they use really annoys me for some reason.

On the one hand, if we don't do anything to stop climate change, Blackrock will be wiped off the map

On the other hand, if we don't do anything to stop climate change, Blackrock will be wiped off the map

Listen to Bloodwork?

It is crazy the knots some men will tie themselves into rather than just admit that the feminists were correct and patriarchy is real

I really enjoyed the first book of their new series, The Captive's War, looking forward to the second book later this year.

The latter but he pronounces it with a V instead of an F

I spent 5 years working in an MSP that sold services to FAANG. It was scary how dumb some senior managers were. One of the clients VPs read that fucking "quiet quitting" article and suddenly we had to pretend that we were investigating this entirely made up problem for a whole year!

The reuse of bosses and areas really put me off this game to the point where I just gave up half way, up to that point I was really enjoying it.

This place was everything you needed in life, somewhere to get dinner for a tenner, a place to meet a friend for a coffee, somewhere to eat 2 plates of Italian buffet in an attempt to cure your hangover, it had it all. Ugly Duckling sandwiches have never been bettered imo

I think most people on both sides of this argument think datacentre are basically just giant external hard drives for people's cat photos, they just disagree on if this is good or bad

I would like this dinosaur trophy for my shelf but in a non derogatory manner please

When Neil Patrick Harris shows up in the second half he's wearing something that looks almost exactly like a Gestapo uniform, the movie is incredibly unsubtle!

95-115 minutes is the perfect movie length. Unless you are doing an epic fantasy or a historical epic there is no justification for more than this in most cases I think.

Seems a lot like a few years ago when Spotify was throwing money at established pods to go exclusive to their platform, didn't seem to work particularly well back then but I'm sure this will be different!

I've had a few visitors to Dublin bring this pub up or ask me if I knew it, I think it has broken containment and gained some fame in recent years.

Honestly believe we dodged a bullet here, they are not only obnoxious but they are a particular type of obnoxious that the average Irish person is well aware of and has no time for.

20 years ago they had a website where you could buy a high quality live album of the exact show you went to, in lossless audio format or mp3. They have always been very good at offering a product that their fans will want to pay for.

Wait is this in favour or against I genuinely can't tell

if you're concerned about information security, you should know Signal isn't actually secure. instead, try Mastodon, which is a website where you can be guaranteed no one will ever see what you post

My most right wing opinion is that pedestrians and cyclists should be allowed to carry personal weapons strictly for use against vehicles that offend them. Would accept flails, maces, shotguns loaded with rock salt, that sort of thing. Parked on the path? Drove through zebra crossing? Bonk!

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't).

My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

All of you have spent years talking about right wing conspiracy theories and blueanon but the second that the evidence in an event like this points in a direction that makes you ideologically uncomfortable you all revert to the same burden of proof of the people you’ve been making fun of!

I've been assuming this is just building backstory for an upcoming pivot to being a US right wing media pundit, "presidential candidate denied by deep state" reads a lot better than "had to leave because my horrible behaviour completely tanked my reputation"

I work with people doing research into Quantum Key Distribution for secure networks, there are real products there that you can buy today, though they are definitely a few years out from being practical.
