Wait, wait! I know the answer to this one.

How on earth can can a cafe in a park on property already owned by Dublin City Council cost €6.1 million? www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

Hell of a sound when you’re hungover!

Noticed quite a few Ineos Grenadiers popping up in photos from Ukraine recently.

Awesome sky.

Red Sky in Morning - Shepherd’s warning.

Amazon are having a Black Friday WEEK! They can go and shite.

Lean manufacturing training today (kill me now). Over the years I’m convinced it’s possible to focus so much on Lean and finding efficiencies that it has the complete opposite effect and as a result you are left with inefficiencies because of change for change’s sake. Have seen many examples.

I can remember it in the news. Mrs S who is Czech was only almost two years old 😬😬

I just wish for someone to market a eInk smartphone so successful that the internet would need to be completely rewritten to avoid video contents.

The @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein production is absolutely incredible.

Planning a trip to Norn Iron to bulk buy my vape liquid. I’ll be damned if I’m paying €11 for a 10ml bottle here when it’s literally €5 cheaper a bottle up there. 100 bottles would save me €500.

wmic command line removed in Windows 11 25H2? O'RLY ???

Epic sea views today!!!

Some cyclists (Not the majority!) have made the Waterford Greenway a thoroughly unpleasant experience if you're walking. The Youghal to Midleton greenway is no exception. Mentality of some is that Greenways are for cyclists only. Speed limits won't change shit.

Inevitable. Loads of sirens of emergency vehicles on N25

Weasel words trying to ease her conscience. All about the money innit?

Epic thunder and lightning on the way to work. Still going on so if you’re on the N25 on the way to Cork city be careful because rain is very heavy and lots of standing water!

Below is in relation to a datacentre, solar park, housing and associated local amenities being planned for Kilmeaden, Co. Waterford Kilmeaden will ‘no longer be a village’ if planned multi-billion-euro data centre goes ahead jrnl.ie/6858003

Karen by name, Karen by nature. She already has her house. Fuck anyone else who wants one and heaven help that the eyesore that’s the old cheese factory is replaced.

Some of the people who have made a huge contribution to Irish Society are just ordinary people who never planned to. Mary McGee was one of these. May she rest in peace: www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

I wouldn’t like to be going in to work in Amazon today. Nor would I like to be dependent on AWS for any critical infrastructure in the future. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Did you know that Iona would have no hope of describing itself as an Institute in the UK, because that's a word protected by law? Isn't it time we had similar laws in this country?

First Widgeon of the season spotted a week or so ago. Out the beach today and they’ve arrived en masse. A huge amount of them compared to last year!

Car has a software update. It requests that I start the update, exit and lock the car and that it will take 2 hours during which the vehicle will be in accessible!!!!!

Don’t agree with spoiling votes. They achieve nothing. In fact the best thing to do with spoiled votes IMHO is that after the first count, all spoiled votes be automatically given as number 1 votes to the candidate with the highest first preference in that count centre.

Dispite my dislike of Connolly, I’m pretty proud of the fact that out of our soon to be 10 presidents since the foundation of the state that 3 of them (out of the last 4) have been women.

First time not voting since I could. Like trying to decide between syphilis or gonorrhoea. Also not helped by the attitude of Connolly voters and their insistence she was the second coming. She isn’t and she wont be. Humphreys just shouldn’t have been a candidate. An embarrassing 7 years ahead.

First top up. Nice not to have to pay for it!

Collected the ID.4 today. Used it for the latter half of my commute. Such a relaxing drive in an EV compared to mashing gears around in traffic. The smoothness of the drive! I'm an instant convert.

Farewell to my diesel Rav4. Traded in towards a 2022 VW ID.4

The article itself is an interesting read. When rewilding goes badly wrong www.bbc.com/future/artic...

It’s not DNS, There’s no way it’s DNS, It was DNS

Current status. Thinking about changing the car.

Missing the bit about the meeting being cancelled after you’ve spent days working on the slides!

Old school pal with some sound advice at the end.

What I assume was a BIN attack on my Revolut card (Old card, expires next year). Reckon it’s a BIN attack because I use Apple Pay at pay points and a different card number online. Also follows a BIN pattern with 3 quick verifications with 3 different services. One doesn’t even operate in Ireland

Interesting that the Netherlands are doing this for national security purposes. The now former parent company of Nexperia is Wingtech and Wingtech are the company behind the Trump T1 mobile phone! www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is what it must be like to be a USAian

Decided this evening the for the first time since I was entitled to that I’m not going to vote. It’s like trying to decide between catching covid or the flu. Two absolutely terrible candidates so much so I’d be embarrassed to vote for either.

Ivor (3) was watching me charge something up using a USB C cable, and he asked if he could plug it in, and I said sure, and he asked which way up it goes, and I was able to proudly say “IVOR IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH WAY UP IT GOES AND THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF HUMAN PROGRESS”

Good news. Rage has subsided. Seems the icon below is only the mobile version www.theverge.com/news/789533/...

She draws the line at domestic terrorists.

Oh FFS! For 30 years the icon for Microsoft Word was instantly identifiable with a W in it. Excel had an X. Easy to see. Now someone seriously lacking in talent has come up with this and someone actually approved it!

And he failed. Dungarvan and its roundabouts strike again.

Oh do pay attention Bond. Now, this might look like a perfectly normal ball point pen, but by manipulating these controls it can write in FOUR different colours.
