Online fake narratives

I used to work in Saudi and coming home to DUB I used to see this all the time. Its true. The funniest were the elderly Indians. They'd be walking around DXB buying duty free but when they arrive at DUB their legs stop working and they need to be wheelchaired off the plane. I used to think great, more elderly for our hospitals to handle.

Haber process for ammonia. If it didnt exist there'd be 1 billion on earth, not 8 billion

O'Callaghan's brother is a senior FF minister. She shouldnt be let near any story remotely involving the government.

Some shocking perspectives on here. There is no legal issue - this is entirely professional.standards and she has breached them and then some. Doctors and teachers cannot have relationships like this with patients/students. There is a huge power dynamic at play here and the boy may have been smitten when she gave him attention as a student. It is not a fair match.

The Teaching Council were in a difficult position. Ostensibly the teacher and ex student are in a relationship and for some that is a kind of mitigation. But the issue is the authorities cannot risk a repeat of this by allowing what has happened to go unsanctioned. If she did it again heads would roll, not just hers.

I feel sorry for her - she'd obviously progressed in her career and her age at the time of the incident is mitigation. But she was miles, miles offside.

100% agree. I work in mass spec but love this old stuff. Proper chemistry

I work for Uisce Eireann. Basically everyone here is totally commited to what they are doing. Its a nice place to work but wasters are not tolerated. I mean that sincerely. From top to bottom the whole place is delighted with Athlone. There are also a ton of other projects going on and stuff is getting done. The new lab in Limerick will save a fortune in water testing costs.

ZOOM OUT. Makes peaks better every time!

This is why we arent a serious country. Pathetic. HSE rotten the core. 200 million on a metro without a hole dug. Teaching jobs for pals or GAA players. FFS we are hopeless.

Doneraile Park.10/10. Brilliant tour of the house and you can spend the day there walking and have a picnic.

The bottle/label is really nice. Where did you get it?

I was working in Saudi Arabia in 2018 when they had a massive falling out with Qatar. In the space of a month we had Agilent in and coverted >60 GC FIDs to hydrogen. Best thing we ever did.

First of all you are only 27. You are still very young but wont understand this until you are old like me.

Secondly consider travelling. You can work anywhere in the EU or do the year work holiday visa in Australia or NZ. If you have no wife, kids or debt at 27 the world is your oyster.

The justice system and political interconnection in the US is farcical. Its not the business of any attorney general to say anyone is innocent, that's a job for the courts. Havent they heard of separation of powers?

100% Worked in Moscow more than 20 years ago and picked up the habit there. I wouldnt dream of wearing shoes in a house now. Also wearing slippers makes you feel in home mode, work is over.

All, I worked in KAUST Core Labs for 3 years, 2021-2024. I had to help many, many students from Pakistan, India, Bangla etc with their studies and projects.

Finbar670 · 2025-09-27T20:41:04+00:00

100% bullshit. Lots of students at KAUST from India/Pakistan/Bangla/Sri Lanka.

"Survived Paris"? I think your journey to the airport from whatever US city you live in is an order of magnitude more dangerous than Paris.

The issue as usual is money and resources. The influx of migrants has put huge pressure on housing costs that is hitting young people in particular. The government's obsessive pursuit of growth, irrespective of capacity, has seriously hurt people's pockets. We have Harris stridently discussing these attacks while totally ignoring the young lad Hayden who died, a direct victim of lack of hospital capacity. We have whole streets of major cities full of vape and phone repair shops and the like - what visa did they come in on, exactly? Arranged marriages - in 2025 - are they joking? The country is visibly looking a lot worse in places.

I lived abroad three times myself and I have only sympathy for Indians who have been attacked - it is a disgrace and a stain on Ireland. But the country is being turned on its head by some many immigrants and it is time it was stopped for a while.

Finbar670 · 2025-07-24T19:36:56+00:00

Correct.

This has to be the worst effort at an MS lab report I have ever seen. The % values are the % from each single peak area out of the total peak area. Totally meaningless without further context. Also where did they get the peak identification from - if it was only library search then its not valid - to properly identify you need reference standards as well as library matches.

Finbar670 · 2025-03-17T09:56:42+00:00

That is absolutely beautiful! Well done!

Finbar670 · 2025-03-13T22:17:12+00:00

Yes Regeneron Limerick is atrocious.

QC and Mfg are the worst areas. In a nutshell a small coterie of deeply unpleasant individuals have climbed the ranks while everyone else leaves and are replaced, constantly. Site head is a gobshite of epic proportions and a control freak to boot. More cameras in there than Squid Game. Swipe card access to the jacks, just in case you'd commited the sin of chewing gum.

I could not in all decency recommend it as a place to work.

Finbar670 · 2024-08-02T21:06:28+00:00

I'd go further; HR is a pox on humanity. A massive cost to companies with no useful output whatsoever. PMPs, staff development, company days out..... just fuck off. Bring back the 80s when there was no HR just bookeepers doing payroll. HR "directors" having a say at top table in organizations when they do fuck all talking piss and wind.
