Ronaldo plays for a football team based in Saudi Arabia. That sheikh whose name I forget, the one who murdered the journalist Jamal Khashogi, was in Washington meeting with Trump. Said sheikh brought Ronaldo along, presumably because he’s good buddies with Ronaldo and wanted to show off his fancy sports puppet to Trump.

Ronaldo is also a petulant little child who got sent off for elbowing a player in a match against Ireland last week.

I’m guessing they mean people who repeatedly do refunds. If you’re getting a refund on every game you’re probably abusing the system.

Valve makes tonnes of money from loot boxes or whatever they’re called. Basically a form of gambling.

It also just so happens that a great way of making a shit load of money is making it super easy for people to buy from you. Valves big competitive advantage is just… not fucking that up. A surprising number of companies fuck that up.

And as someone else said, Gabe doesn’t have to be a billionaire. He could use his phenomenal wealth to build hospitals and help the poor, rather than building his own little private navy.

Valve is doing a lot that will make people like them, but they’re still a huge corporation, and Gabe is still a billionaire.

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.
