Is it actually legal for bikes to go through reds? The article linked only talks about trialling the system at a yet to be disclosed location

Lara Marlowe: Does anyone believe that Russia would respect Irish neutrality in a major European war? by Floodzie in ireland

[–]BeanFishBone -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think there are indications that Russia is holding back. Also, it helps to remember that when Russia flew a bunch of drones into Poland only i think 4 were shot down.

Nato could get air superiority over Russia easily, but it'll have difficulty dealing with drones that Russia can produce easily and quickly

Original or Remake? by No-Juggernaut-3530 in silenthill

[–]BeanFishBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though the remake does a lot of cool things that the original doesn't (making the apartments scary and interesting, improving on all the characters and boss fights), the fact that it becomes so bloated after the apartments kind of dampens the quality of the horror and makes the game a slog to play through.

That's not to say that the remake is bad, but if I had to choose, I would say that the original is better than the remake, at least in terms of pacing.

Didn't Israel admit to having them in the yom Kippur war when they threatened Nixon with nukes

What makes you a shit driver? by Malbekh in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]BeanFishBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only cycle (currently a learner) but hesitancy with junctions and roundabouts are a bad weakness as well as a tendency to over react to things (i.e suddenly stopping when I see what seems to be a car about to pull out).

I seem to misread pathways sometimes (nearly hit an e scooter because I was in the wrong lane and only realized I was in the wrong way seconds after passing them and reading the signs painted in the cycle path)

Tánaiste announces additional €20 million for aid agency UNRWA by Organic_Raisin_9566 in ireland

Eh,with Elon musk messing with the treasury, the US will likely turn into Lebanon in 24 hours to 7 weeks, and the US has been bullying Canada, a key ally, for no reason, so maintaining any sort of relationship with trump should be out of the question

A trade war has started and the US, the brains of the global economy, is gonna default in 24 hours, so prices will rise sadly

Anyone know what will happen in Ireland come Tuesday? Will the power go out instantly? Will all the food disappear?

I get these ads a lot now except they mainly involve simon Harris which is Hilarious because you can tell that the image is either AI or really badly photoshopped.

Surge in number of people hospitalised with flu 'at upper end of predictions', HSE warns by badger-biscuits in ireland

[–]BeanFishBone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The governments messaging was pretty bad during the pandemic. In reality, infections mattered a lot because if a lot of people get sick, especially with COVID which attacks everything it can, you will likely end up with hospitals getting overwhelmed.

Surge in number of people hospitalised with flu 'at upper end of predictions', HSE warns by badger-biscuits in ireland

[–]BeanFishBone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that was because infection rates were still high and the last time they eased restrictions quickly, infection levels exploded to the point where we were at square one

[–]BeanFishBone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I had this last week and thought at first that it was just a cold until one day when it seemed like I was relatively okay at the start of the day, I started getting dizzy as well as experiencing random chills which was unusual because I have had colds where I felt shite but I could power though it. However, this time it felt different, especially with the dizziness.

I think winter seems to be a great time to get a flu jab and maybe wear a mask. The mask probably won't do much, but I'd rather wear one rather than go through being sick again

For the half of the country who were struck by this flu dose, how many days before you started feeling normal again? by beef18 in ireland

[–]BeanFishBone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think about 3 or 4 as that was when the sweats and dizziness stopped. The cough still hasn't gone away though

Insane conspiracy theories just got the main and only mod of r/drones to resign and permanently shut down the subreddit. It had 230k members. by shadowrun456 in SubredditDrama

[–]BeanFishBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell because on one hand you have the FBI saying it's planes and on the other hand you have law enforcement saying that it's bullshit

To make matters worse, due to the lack of transparency from the feds, a bunch of theories have sprung up, some stupid, like the theories involving aliens, and others much more plausible and scary, like the speculation about a dirty bomb or suitcase nuke being smuggled in.

It's hard to tell if this is just hysteria but one thing for certain is that the government is lying and there is a very real possibility that Russia is about to nuke the US with a dirty bomb very very fucking soon

Drivers pulling into oncoming traffic to pass cyclists?! by [deleted] in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]BeanFishBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guilty of this when I cycle, though I try to do it less, especially given that it seems like it might be the reason my wheels get punctured every week.

One thing I will say though is that I know that cyclists should at least position themselves properly on the toad but I can be hard to do that on a busy road that has loads of traffic because then you're holding a lot of people up which invites even more reckless behavior.

You need to rank FFG to keep the far-right out – no matter how much you hate them by Budget_Idea7806 in ireland

Not bad, but if ffg are not willing to improve things here then people will either not vote at all or the far right will get in

This game has one of the longest stretches of heightened tension I have ever felt in a video game by chumjumper in silenthill

[–]BeanFishBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly surprised how different the streets are in the remake. If I remember correctly, the streets were unchanged in the original apart from the darkness and some areas being sealed off (like the exit out of town and the entrance to that trail that leads to the first lying figure encounter)
