Ireland has Gaelic football too so you have to figure out from context which football is being referred to.

We even play against the Aussies at a mix of the two football types occasionally which is called international rules.

Their lads are fucking massive as they play it professionally while Gaelic football is strictly amateur (all the money gets pumped back into local clubs which generally end up being very nice as a result).

It must be the 1% of the 1% of many fanbases.

Whenever Ireland are in a world cup, people start saving from the qualifiers so the rich are definitely there but it’s die hard footie fans that make up the bulk traveling.

It’s hard to overestimate just how much some people love the beautiful game. I remember the 2002 world cup which was in Korea / Japan and myself and my mates were getting up at unholy hours to watch all while murdering beers and screaming at the TV and I’m not even that into football.

Their Konnect service is supposed to be for home use but that website is bloody awful.

It’s geostationary though so ping would be terrible for gaming / video calls but fine for streaming etc.

leaving it behind isn’t as easy as they say it is.

He very much feels like Goebbels / Himmler to me. Amazes me that he feels straight up in the right but I guess they both did too.

That’s surprisingly decent. Fair play to them.

I can’t think of a single job it can replace.

Me either and I don’t think it ever will reach that. We’re already seeing diminishing returns.

The thing is it doesn’t need to replace a full job. If it improves productivity by 10% then that’s the number that will either lose their job or just not get hired in the first place.

I’m sure these are very worrying times for folks in college, especially computer science and the arts.

UBI seems like the only long term solution to me.

Agreed. He should have stepped out of the race long before then. Hubris.

I’ll do it for $599,999.

I agree generally but this isn’t used for small sums. You’re talking hundreds of thousands / millions in highly visible ill gotten gains for it to be deployed.

And I think 10k is a bullshit amount for this new law. People buy cars second hand all the time with cash fully legit.

The trouble with that is it can be very hard to actually prove for known scumbags. I live in a small country and they have a “criminal assets bureau” which can bring folks in massive houses with fancy cars and expensive watches to court and the burden of proof is lower.

It basically boils down to “there’s no way this cunt can legally afford all this” then it gets seized.

Before it was created you had criminal kingpins showing up to pick up their dole (social security) weekly while raking in massive money criminally.

It’s not abused like that eminent domain thing in the US is though. There’s still court required.

You can vote up to 20 times in the public vote. It’s scandalous.

And came straight in with the bangers. I didn’t watch this year but I heard theirs was class again.

Definitely wasteful to convert. I’m guessing the hydrogen is a store for when waves aren’t wavey.

Thanks for posting these. I’ve seen a few from you recently.

Oh you’re missing out. It’s honestly fantastic.

Ah father Ted is miles better and does have it’s own song contest episode.
