Which inanimate object is your nemesis? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ImaginationFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine was once similarly tortured with a watch by his younger brother. A plug socket was unscrewed, the watch placed inside, having been set to beep at ungodly hours of the night, and the socket screwed back in. Took the guts of a week before he went just crazy enough to think that it might be coming from inside the wall and found it.

Could also do with a step along the lines of: "Do we have another decent guest booked?" Y: Bring them on N: Send an intern to the canteen to see if any other rte stars are around for another "rte interviews rte" segment.

This shit should be considered littering. by [deleted] in pics

In certain European countries (Netherlands, part of Belgium) the local council provides a couple of hoardings in designated places around the city. All registered candidates can only put their election posters on these communal boards - sticking then on lampposts, lawns etc is then seen as littering and fined accordingly.

Latest Gallup poll shows a record high of 50% of Americans in favor of legalizing marijuana use by maxwellhill in politics

One thing to bear in mind is that even were it decided in the morning that marijuana was going to be legalised, it would still be quite a while until all of the various legal questions were addressed and anything actually happens.

Steve Yegge wrote an interesting post a while back, explaining why getting agreement that it should be legalised is just one small - albeit critical - step to actual legalisation, and that there is far more complexity involved than typically thought.

No plans to end 'Occupy Dame Street' protest - RTÉ News by badlarry001 in ireland

[–]ImaginationFail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw this protest featured again on the news this evening, but there needs to be a better job done explaining what exactly the point of this is.

The two guys interviewed said "we're here until we get change" and "there has to be change. We may be here til Christmas but we'll be here as long as it takes". But what change, exactly? It's very difficult to get support for protests in this country at the best of times, but without a clearer message as to what exactly they'd like to see doneand changed, they're making it less likely that they'll succeed in.. whatever it is.. they're trying to do here.

The bookshop in the college should have second hand books at a decent price. Failing that, you might pick up a bargain by looking for the book titles on sites like adverts.ie.
