Speaking for, and possibly misunderstanding, the situation in Ireland: > But you have a head of state Yes! Our president. > who can, in theory, remove the head of government at their own discretion Ah. No.

Is Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness a bunch of independent cells held together by an ideology... or is it just an ideology?

I know that, as time goes on, it feels like we have less hours in the day, but time is also linear.

This was a deliberately poor phrasing of the "10 foot wall, 12 foot ladder" adage.

If projects start adding "tell the strongest no-guardrails open weights model to pentest it for 12 hours" to their CICD pipelines, then researchers will prompt a pentest for 14 hours.

Oh, I agree with you that it's probably legit from some of those scattered findings. Something I saw while googling is that the composition & crystal structure of this meteorite makes it very attractive for use in jewellery.

You don't need a subscription to use the app, and I presume these ads are pushed to all users.

Am I missing an element to the alleged fraud that isn't addressed in this article?

I recently unsubscribed from a grocery delivery service becuase they kept pushing adverts through their app. I gave them notification permission so I could see when my delivery is nearby, not so they could spam me. Voting with my wallet on

I'd have called the folks on Skellig Michael lunatics in bedrooms, too. They just had a harder time copying their lunacy out by hand.

We're talking about dangerous substances you can buy OTC, and the health implications of those. Of course kratom and sugar fall into that bucket.

by rithdmc 2mo ago
How so? Sugar is having taxes added in many jurisdictions due to the health effects & habituation it can cause.

I don't think it's a weird case to compare two budget airlines to demonstrate why I think one is better than the other.

by rithdmc 3mo ago
Thanks, I hadn't seen a price difference like that. I'm unsure about the following. Do you know if flights between London and Belfast be covered under EU airline rules regarding missed and delayed flights?

Whenever I have to book Ryanair, there's a lot of clicking back and forth between screens to confirm I've made the right choices. Ten minutes is a long time. That's the purpose of dark patterns.

by rithdmc 3mo ago
I don't find Ryanair much cheaper than Aer Lingus. In my experience there's up to a 20% premium, and I just cross checked the Alicante route for next week with the same results. Compared to the high likelihood of delays or cancell

Thanks. I'm Irish, no idea what the price (in Punt, it would have been!) should have been at. A family friend hooked us up with software that should have cost money (mostly Office software, but some games and Encarta included) via the
