For the purposes of comparison, this is the Grand Canal in Dublin, which I assume was built to the same scale

Road deaths have been totally normalised everywhere, not just Ireland.
Is there any other consumer product that people just accept kills and seriously injures millions of people every year?

Illustration featuring all the women of the Mini Mná series.
#art #blueskyart #speirgorm
A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.

Margaret Burbidge (1919–2020), pioneering British-American astrophysicist and lead author of the 1957 B²FH paper that proved stars forge nearly all chemical elements beyond hydrogen and helium through stellar nucleosynthesis; her work provided the foundational evidence that we are made of "star stuff."
The black-and-white photograph shows her as an woman standing indoors at an event, smiling warmly at the camera with a gentle, confident expression; she has short wavy gray hair, wears a patterned top or dress with a bold abstract floral design, layered with multiple strands of pearl necklaces, and a dark tailored coat or jacket over it, set against a plain brick wall and a partial sign in the background. #astrophysics #physics #WomenInScience
DYK the iron in your blood was forged the heart of a supernova? 🌟
Astrophysicist Margaret Burbidge was the lead author of the famous 1957 "B²FH" paper. Along with her colleagues, she proved how stars create the majority of elements of the periodic table.

40k is plenty - at least an order of magnitude more than necessary. The problem is it's a single constituency, not a spatially random sample. Large populations can be accurately represented with surprisingly small random samples. I frequently see similar misunderstandings in cell image analysis!

Hate to break it to you kids, but the overwhelming majority of people outside of Ireland will not have heard of UCD, never mind the Smurfit Business School.
And I say that as a graduate of UCD myself!

How far back in time can you understand English?
An experiment in language change
If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Black-and-white portrait of Dr. Jane C. Wright (1919–2013), pioneering Black surgeon, oncologist, and "mother of chemotherapy," seated at a laboratory workbench in a clinical research setting. She wears a white lab coat over a dark top and gazes directly at the camera with a composed, focused expression. In front of her is a large compound microscope with multiple objective lenses, adjustment knobs, and a stage, positioned prominently in the foreground. Her left hand rests near an open notebook or lab record book on the table, while stacks of papers or slides are visible nearby. The background shows softly blurred lab equipment and shelving, evoking a mid-20th-century medical research environment.
"Mother of Chemotherapy" Dr. Jane Wright died #OTD in 2013.
+ Helped shift cancer treatment from palliative care to modern chemotherapy by establishing methotrexate as a foundational treatment for breast cancer in 1951
