Either he thought that if it hadn’t come out while he was Dublin manager, it never would, or he thought that it would come out and no one would care.

That Gavin and FF got so caught out by it, and just completely failed to address it properly at all is mental though. They could have sorted it so easily and kept Jim in the race.

Even the best comedians will do sets in little comedy clubs or at backroom open mics while they're writing material for their next tour to see what works. Failure is, after all, the first step to success.

I'd leave the people at the next table in the cafe alone though. They're no there for some random guys inner monologue.

https://www.whichcandidate.ie/ says it will be updated on the 14th. It depends on the candidates responding to a survey, so they might be waiting for that.

If I hear Humphreys speaking, my first thought is always that it’s gift grub. She somehow sounds like someone taking the piss out of herself. It’s weird.

The first carbon neutral war since the invention of gun powder.

To be fair, printers are a bad example. They're fundamentally broken and no one can fix them.

This could be devastating to kite sales.

I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize investment into America by outside countries or companies

Says the guy who stopped any and all US government investment into companies and countries outside America. It’s like that comic of the dog with a ball; “no take, only give”.

A society so advanced they’re holding productive, 3-minute meetings purely for the social aspect. Long enough to be productive, not so long you want to burn the whole god damned place to the ground.

This is exactly something that has annoyed me in a sports community I follow back on Reddit. Posts with titles along the lines of “I asked ChatGPT what it thinks will happen in the game this weekend and here is what it said”.

Why? What does ChatGPT add to the conversation here? Asking the question directly in the subreddit would have encouraged the same discussion.

We’ve also learned nothing about the OPs opinion on the matter, other than maybe that they don’t have one. And even more to the point, it’s so intellectually lazy that it just feels like karma farming. “Ya I have nothing to add but I do love me them updoots”.

I would rather someone posted saying they knew shit all about the sport but they were interested, than someone feigning knowledge by using ChatGPT as some sort of novel point of view, which it never is. It’s ways the most milquetoast response possible, ironically adding less to the conversation than the question it’s responding to.

But that argument always just feels overly combative for what is otherwise a pretty relaxed sports community. It’s just not worth having that fight there.

They're not thinking of it from your point of view, where you've come from any one of thousands of different airports with different rules.

They're thinking of it from their own point of view. Where they've been doing the same thing every day for years, with rules that don't change much if at all, and somehow every single motherfucker that comes through their line gets it wrong.

To be fair, having to repeatedly explain the same fairly simple rules over and over and over again to people who are just not getting it would wear pretty thin fairly quickly. But it's not really the fault of everyone else for not knowing that specific airport's specific rules.

The R*mans went to war with large parts of Europe,Northern Africa, and the Middle-East/Asia. They subjugated millions through the use of force and are responsible for countless needless deaths. Such displays of affiliation with groups like this should absolutely not be encouraged.

Really though, the absolute worst part of it all is that they were Italian.
