I feel like Ireland is still mostly reasonable despite some recent nonsense. Elections just got called yesterday so I may eat my words in three weeks but I don’t think so. The extremists were roundly rejected in the recent European elections which was comforting.
Thanks will check then out.
If you get the chance, Sylvan Esso are incredible live. Seen them a few times now.
Shambles. :)
I’m gonna grasp at that being positive. My favourite band at a ripe old age, Sylvan Esso, are from NC.
Did you get your sausage?
I think you hold the record so far!
Edit: also fair play to you for sticking it out.
They cheat to win however they can.
From the outside looking it it does appear that way but it seems so…un-American. I’ve spent a decent bit of time over there over the course of my life (north of 6 months total, mostly up and down both coasts) and I’m genuinely very fond of the US and its people and that has given me this internal sense of what “un-American” is if that isn’t a ludicrous statement.
The whole “rig things to your advantage” thing is really mask off at this point and I’m surprised that it’s tolerated.
Huh, we’ve been to the polls a lot recently, haven’t we?
It does feel that way. Not sure if it’s foreign elections getting more coverage than they did before maybe shifting the balance in my head.
poll workers actually came out and designated someone as the last voter
I did wonder about this. That’s cool to know and seems like a fair way to run it if you’re in the line before the station closes. Thanks for the insight.
Awesome about Rosario Dawson too!
That’s an interesting one. I live in a small town (~10K). It’s a fairly middle-class suburb of Dublin and the only place I’ve ever voted (but many times). Makes me curious if it’s different in other neighbourhoods.
GOOD GOD!!!
Quite a bump. That was a really good card at the time.
Nvidia Riva 128 AGP with 4 megs of ram. I will never ever forget when they released hardware accelerated opengl drivers and I played Quake GL for the first time. It was hitting 120fps and looked absolutely beautiful compared to the software rendered games I’d played up to that point.
If a child gives you anything, anything at all, blade of grass, shell at the seaside, whatever - take it with real, heartfelt thanks. It is all they have to give.
Hope it went well!
Yeah it’s definitely a really good one. Not sure how much it’ll hold up to a rewatch though.
A huge part of how good it is is the switching up of the sequencing and the shock factor.
As long as they’re not squashed!
The problem is the previous alternative was popping them in the green bin which our household was already doing. We are doing no more recycling but it’s now a lot of space consumption (squashed bottles or cans are rejected) and more hassle.
No we recycled them and recycle rates were really high. They just went in the green wheelie bin and were picked up every week or two.
I would be fine with the deposit scheme but the plastic bottles and aluminium cans all need to be in perfect condition / no squashing them down so they quickly start taking up a lot of space in our (busy) house then need a trip to the store followed by putting them in a scanning machine one by one where before we could just squish them and pop them in the green bin.
I’m not doing any more recycling but now I have a lot more effort unfortunately.
Also no glass in the scheme.
I’m honestly not a fan as someone who was recycling everything already.
I’m gonna say this as someone who used to fight muay thai in my youth and who is still a lot younger than Tyson…
You lose speed with age and not a small amount.
Tyson looks in absolutely phenomenal shape for his age and there is no doubting his fight IQ and I really hope he wins but Paul is also in superb condition and looks strong and fit. I’m predicting a close fight, possibly with Tyson gassing. That would be my tactic if I were Paul.
