Ha! I did actually cop that. :)

Ah it was in jest but sure here we find ourselves.

Compress those suckers!

Never thought I’d say this but…

I am proud to live in a red state.

Edit: On the map you donkeys

No, that was Liz Truss, the British prime minister and it was a lettuce.

It’s trickle down economics in action.

Scalp comes from France.

That’s my understanding. It’s a long time ago but I believe they bought out Sun when they were facing bankruptcy.

If they’d released the x86 version of Solaris when it became clear that SPARC couldn’t keep up with Intel and AMD that could have been a possibility.

Solaris was such an amazing OS.

I dont have a dog in this fight.

Of course you do. Allowing borders to be redrawn by force isn’t good for stability anywhere.

Agreed. I think a huge part of it is down to how many kids are vaping here too. Saw an interview with the Taoiseach (prime minister) and he said 13% of 12-17 year olds had vaped in the last 30 days. Pretty crazy number.

Well I am delighted. €13.1B + the 1.2 in interest represents what will be a bump of 16% of total tax revenue compared to 2023 (€88B total). There are lots of things that money can be used for.

Are you using a VPN maybe?

Apparently they were googling “time in moscow” when following up on an invoice per Ryan McBeth so they are guilty as fuck.

We don’t really have that whole active shooter thing here tbh.

He doesn’t strike me as violent, just a self important cunt.

In the early days of ransomware I helped a small business of a friend that was attacked. They got in and waited months, creating garbage backups until they were confident then sprang the trap.

Tbh I was impressed with how thorough they’d been.

Our small company paid a prominent (of that specific driver) open source driver writer for prioritisation of some work more than once. All the code was GPL.

I know it’s only one data point but it’s one way.

Wild! Like how we punch that far above our weight in the rugby is mind blowing to me. I know NZ has a small population too but they’re all about the rugby. There are honestly feck all rugby clubs in Ireland compared to the GAA or footie but the ones that do exist play at a ridiculous level.

edit: I was curious so went looking. It looks like there are less than 50 clubs on the whole island. Now a lot of secondary schools play at a very high level in Dublin and Limerick and wouldn’t have a club associated with them so that’s not the full picture, but still.

There is a club in my town, but only one other that I can see in a ~25KM radius whereas there would be probably 20x that of GAA and football clubs in the same area.

Ireland also a bit of an outlier where the dominant sport isn’t soccer.

Video of some hurling for those who’ve never seen it.

One of Gaelic football.
