🀞this place stays like Irish Twitter c.2010. Dublin, politics, history, random interesting stuff, football, the world. Used to work in NGOs, now public sector (Further Ed & Training). Suppose I should say Labour Party (Ireland) member, for transparency.

I keep thinking of UK people I like and then realising they’re Scottish. I may have some internal bias…

Do people actually LIKE him though? I’m sure people admire his acting talent etc.

I can’t open the dishwasher in my office anymore. Looking at the way people put things in it gives me anxiety… I have to wait till after the cleaner empties it at the end of the day and then put my stuff in first for the next run… 🫣

My da got a letter several days after his appointment happened recently. If he hadn’t been fairly on the ball and known roughly when it should be and phoned the day before he’d have missed it. I do not really understand why the admin of this stuff is STILL so chaotic.

Just to reiterate that bombing heritage sites is a war crime.

From observation of a number of households I know, some people who used to spend x to warm their cold house to moderate while wearing a jumper now pay exactly the same x to heat their insulated house to boiling and go around in shorts and tshirts in the depths of winter.

There needs to be a licensing system for anyone who wants to be a landlord. Pull shit like this and lose your licence.

I’m fundamentally against those ankle tag yokes but I would put them on this lot in an instant and have them all electric shocked if they left their family home…

Also you need to be in a couple unless you make a very high salary.
No spinsters need apply. Might as well be the 1970s and not being allowed get a loan without your father or husband’s permission.

Electoral Divisions DCC - data.gov.ie This data contains the Electoral Divisions in the Local Electoral Area.

Just a bit of it at the Botanical Rd end. Rest of it looks like it’s split between B and C. data.gov.ie/dataset/elec...

Agree in this case it probably wouldn’t be worth the effort for the additional info you’d get.

I’ve done it a few times in calculating where a vote came from for a candidate where I know the area well and can use additional info to make more informed guesses.

Excellent analysis. It’s possible, btw, to figure out rough % splits for those cross-boundary boxes. But you need to have the β€˜streets per box’ list (which the council used to publish but didn’t as far as I could find for the last few elections), or a full register.

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

Hello, this article states Ben Lynch moved with his parents from Dublin to Vancouver when he was 2, but another article published yesterday said Comerford was the only member of the team born in Ireland. Might need to correct whichever is mistaken!

I love this. I’m pretty much fluent as far as Chaucer and I can semi-understand the Norman cos I did read a few books about Old English years ago (helps if you know the 2 signs for th) but Anglo Saxon has too many germanic words for me…
