Yeah, and I know this sounds trivial by comparison, but we had something similar here recently and it was a proposed ban on fox hunting that the government scooched away that the populous were wildly in favour of.

I have to say that if 25% of my city’s money was being spent on police I’d be making them earn their fucking money and you may infer from that what you will.

Imagine the opportunity cost. And guess who lost the most in that trade? The most vulnerable.

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

Two bangers. Too late for my blood but have fun!

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

“I hear you’re a racist now father”.

Great episode.

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

It doesn’t look like it. The original source and the linked one on Reddit aren’t signed.

Nirvana at the point theatre in Dublin. I was about four people back from the stage and 17. Incredible gig.

Second would be Sylvan Esso at Vicar Street.

Michael Jackson was also a great show.

Cats and Les Miserables were fantastic too.

so is Sylvan Esso

Hell yes. I’ve seen them three times. Absolutely love them live.

Sounds like a cool job!

The Irish for hello translates as “God be with you”. The response is “God and Mary be with you”.

Oh that’s a great one. Bord is also table in Irish.

Wait what, he has to attend rehab but wont face any criminal charges? Why does he need rehab if he wasn’t intoxicated while running over those children?

And he resigned, unrelated?

Would you ever fuck off with that shite.

I am indeed. I’m honestly fascinated that an Australian would choose to learn Irish. Really cool tbh! What prompted you to pick it if you don’t mind me asking? There are a heap of resources in a thread I started a while back that might be of use to you. I’ll be going through them more deeply soon.

Just a heads up - the dialects are bananas. Like I used to be very comfortable having a conversation with a native speaker back in my youth but the Ulster Irish I find really, really difficult to understand. Partly accent, partly pronunciation.

One small example, the name Róisín in Connacht dialect is row-sheen (like row your boat) but for folks in Ulster it’s ro-sheen (like box). To me the fada on the o = “oh”. Not sure how it ended up like that but there you have it.

I hear you on Sionnach, but I liked that it’s open source / a community effort and spoken by natives. It ramps up very quickly is my only issue.

If you haven’t seen it yet, Kneecap is great.

Don’t forget Janeway!

Is that Grapes of Wrath?

Edit: I should have read to the end :) I must give that another read.

Good God. The hubris of humans knows no bounds.

Been brushing up on mine too. :) What are you using? I had hit a wall but then came across the Sionnach app which is good but hitting a wall with it a bit too.

I’m not sure it matters. If not it’s rainbow table time but they did use a very high end graphics card to test so it’s functionally equivalent to salting (except for the tiny extra compute to concatenate the strings before hashing).

I feel like it was just a marketing exercise to show how shit MD5 is.

Thank you! They are some wild numbers.

Be Smart is great.
