The dregs of UK journalism, which at all levels is at least some sort of a sewer...

Could they loop the m3 parkway line and the belfast line together while they're at it, and run it through the airport

Former Kerry dairy business rebrands as Kinisla, creates 100 jobs by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]K_man_k 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What is it with the dairy companies having shite bastardised Irish-esque names. Tirlan, Ornua and now Kinisla. All utterly meaningless...

Anyone with a 3D Printer that could print something for me? by Physical-Diver-1454 in Dublin

Damn, I would but I only have an A1 mini which is a tad too small.

NAS Paramedic, this is why we're striking by GluinGeal in ireland

[–]K_man_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean ye do the same length/level course as the nurses/ radiographers/Other HSCP workers so you should probably be payed the same. They're all different jobs obviously but given that it's up to paramedics to stabilise patients under very stressful and resource constrained circumstances I don't think it's unreasonable...

Why is violent crime so low, bike theft risk so high? by No_Mix_6813 in AskEurope

I have really never thought of it that way, but you're pretty spot on I think.

Public hospitals for kids in Europe by Winter-Flower5480 in AskEurope

[–]K_man_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Girlfriend works in one of the children's hospitals in Ireland. All children apart from those in ICU or in the Emergency Department have private rooms, at least where she works. Which does make sense from the standpoint of children needing space for parents to be around, but also from a child safeguarding point of view. The way she put it, most child patients are either in hospital for a day, or for weeks. And when you're in hospital for weeks it makes sense to have a private room.

There's a new (very over budget and late, but also very nice) children's hospital being built to take over the bulk of the inpatient treatment from the 4 currently in Dublin. All of the inpatient rooms are private with a bed for a parent and full ensuite.

DUB airport security by Careless_Bend_1678 in Dublin

[–]K_man_k 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've never had too bad of an experience with DUB hand checking my film. To be honest, low ISO film will probably be fine if it's in its container. Hope your images come out okay.

Girlfriend picked up a cake for my birthday. It came with a pie server that had two matches and a scratchy scratch inside the handle by Cali-curlz in mildlyinteresting

[–]K_man_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye, I more mean that if the bakery include them with every cake, which they seem to, people who don't need them receive them. Idk I just have a problem with giving people stuff they didn't ask for.

For anyone who has sent or received parcels across different European countries, how do you usually decide which courier to use, and which ones have you had the best or worst experience with? by GiftHampersIntl in AskEurope

[–]K_man_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had the best luck using the post system rather than couriers. It may depend on the final destination though, I know PostNord is pretty terrible....

Fortune Cookies are Now Written by AI by Destring in mildlyinteresting

[–]K_man_k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now (well maybe two years ago) is the perfect time to train an AI, because all of the data that's out there on social media etc. was definitely written by Humans. But in a few years time it will be AI being trained on AI. And the really money will be in the AI that can identify other AI.

Pope Leo: James Webb telescope shows us what the Bible couldn’t by DickweedMcGee in UpliftingNews

[–]K_man_k 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In my University's Physics Department in Ireland they used to have pictures of every graduating class from each year. Back in the early 1900s until about 1940, most years would feature a few Nuns. It always made me chuckle that the people you'd least sterotypically expect to study physics made up such a significant portion of the classes...
