    Ireland

    This concept of using a single number to define intelligence, as if it were a one dimensional quantity, is funny though. There's loads of dimensions to intelligence for want of a better word. Like some people are good at seeing certain patterns, some are good at reading people, or situations...

    US politics

    I'm gonna do my extremist thing, but I think you have to take the position that Biden loses, and work backwards from there. Trump's narrative is I'm a tough guy gangster, a bit like 50 cent, only white. Getting sniped at by some eejit is going to solidify this no end. From now on we're going to...

    Is it possible to go dogging by oneself?

    here, I need to clear something up actually. Does dogging involve cars, or no? Like, I hear about car parks or lay-bys etc, so I'm assuming yes? Is there any rules that say you can't stroll up, or even better cycle up? Someone was saying there had to be a cars element, but I'm unsure. I feel...

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine

    the general idea was: Ukraine's making sea drones, these yokes are cheap and can be cranked out quickly. You only need to take out a small number of naval assets to make a navy really hurt. This applies to Russia / Ukraine at the moment, but we should expect the situation to be generalized...

    US politics

    I guess the question is, assuming Trump wins (keeping in mind the Dems have form on ramming home a Trump victory), how fucked are we? I'm trying to not go with my normal worst case scenario reaction to everything. But even with the best will in the world, I'm thinking: a bit. We're a bit...

    US politics

    they should have said it was a single term presidency from the outset and stuck with that. But yeah, it's hard to know what to do now. If they reef him, assuming he co-operates, then they're going to look like they're panicking. If they leave him in, they're going to keep looking like gobshites...

    US politics

    yeah, Paddy Power is setting Trump as a clear favourite to win this thing. Fuck. I listened to clips. Biden sounds like a person with a neuro-degenerative problem. He sounded like that last time too, he was doing this slurring / difficulty sharply articulating certain sounds, similar to...

    Swimming lessons

    ah, ok. That's different. That;s probably the slow incremental acquiring of technique.

    Swimming lessons

    ...to when you get your breathing in the correct state, and at that point you suddenly get quite a lot better. You go from being able to swim to over *there*, hopefully, to being able to plough along and think about other things. You sit into a rhythm. Sometimes I've noticed that even when I...

    European and local elections 2024

    ...Which leads us to the important question, who is he riding? Or does he just... take care of those urges by himself? God's hand? Does God have a few partners, or just one? Are they his wife? Is he 100% straight? Like, *100* percent? Is he sure? I'd like some clarification from any senior...

    Jaysus cycling!

    The sad thing about shit drivers is generally, they're vanishingly few. I'm not saying that all drivers don't fuck up here and there, and do silly things. We do. But there's only a very small number of people that consistently drive like cunts. This is the thing about living in a little...

    Jaysus cycling!

    27 * 1 1/4 tyres aren't exchangeable for 700c tyres, in case that was being implied here. That might end up costing you. I forget which one is bigger, but you can't swap sizes. What you normally can do is put a 700c wheel onto a frame that is built for 27 inch wheels. But, we'd never swap them...

    Wealth inequality

    Yup. I had a multi (?) billionaire work... for (?) me. I didn't know how wealthy he was at the time. He just wanted to learn the stuff I was working on, so I was told to take care of him, check his stuff, get him working. Maybe "for me" is a bit much. He didn't really work for me, he just worked...

    A friend of mine, the wonderful Katherine, was telling some people about her dog. Someone asked if the dog was still alive, and she said no, it wasn't. It was made into a pair of slippers now. Her father killed the dog because it got old. She pointed at the slippers she was wearing which had...
