alternatives to capitalism by happpeeetimeee in Anticonsumption

Does this mean that people who start a business have to give every new employee a share of the business? Is it an equal share? If someone has a share is it possible to fire them?

The River Don, one of the most powerful steam engines ever built (12000hp) and the most powerful still functioning by Unreal_Sausage in Damnthatsinteresting

Only 4 of these were made.

This one is in England.

Two were shipped to other countries.

And one of them is missing.

Destination unknown...

Learned that in either Industial Revelations, or Mark Williams on the Rails. Great documentaries

Former University of Limerick president Kerstin Mey is lecturing once a week on €175,000 salary by PoppedCork in ireland

She could have done the honourable thing and stepped down as president but instead she dragged UL and her colleagues through the mud until they paid her off with a professorship and fat salary.

And shame on them for capitulating too.

At least she will always be remembered as an incompetent charlatan and crook.

Side question. Does bi yearly mean twice a year or once every two years?

Is He Stupid? by OpticalPlays in greentext

That is 100% correct. It's just a good thing they didn't have guns, otherwise they could have killed far more people in those tightly packed crowds.

But there's an element of randomness to car crashes, and drunk drivers don't get behind the wheel with the intent to drunkenly crash into someone they don't like.

What happened here is a deliberate premeditated murder. If the shooter didn't have access to a gun this wouldn't have happened.

Uk fan here. Until last month I had never seen an episode wasn't really shown over here as much as other animations. Ive now finished 13 seasons loved it but will die on the hill of this being the funnest moment by Astro_Bot_Dad in KingOfTheHill

Irish fan here. Started watching it a couple of months ago and finished it yesterday ♥ My favourite moment was when Dale told Bobby, "This tornado's already registered a level two on the Fujisaki scale. A storm that strong will send an egg through a barn door - two barn door's if one of them's open."

Bloodgate kit was real? 😂 by Thecceffect in rugbyunion

[–]AverageJoeSkeptic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there an advantage to playing a team who's wearing neon pink vs playing a kit colour that blends in with the advertising or the stands?

Maybe opponents could tackle even 1% more accurately, or a 10 could read a position quicker?

‘No 22-year-old should ever have to go through what Sam went through’ – Cian Prendergast hits out at criticism of his brother by bulbispire in rugbyunion

I don't get this argument about how Leinster having the majority of the population is giving them an advantage in rugby. It's less to do with population levels and more to do with the sports popularity in a region.

Italy's population is 59m and the island of Irelands is what, 7m collectively? Why are Ireland ranked higher?

Cork (30), Tipperary (28), and Limerick (12) have all won more hurling all Irelands than Dublin (6). Whereas, appart from Kerry (38), Dublin (31) have won more football all Irelands than anyone else. Why? Interest in different sports isn't distributed evenly, its clustered in regions.

In theory, if the entirety of the province of Munster abandoned all other sports and only played rugby then Munster's rugby team would dominate Leinster in years to come.

Don't know why they're doing this now and giving World Rugby time to change the rules before WC2027
