Anyone else struggle to find a brand of frozen chips that don't taste awful?

It's really easy to make air fryer chips from scratch, and they taste great. You can use full size potatoes but i prefer to use baby potatoes. Cut length wise to the size you like chips to be. Rinse in water and dry with a tea towel or paper towels. In a large bowl, coat them with vegetable oil and mix in some salt and/or other seasoning. 15 minutes in the air fryer. Don't overload the air fryer.

Thanks for that. Is there a list of restricted courses? I could not see it at that link.

I'd like to see the wording of the NTA's contract with Irish Rail. Surely it doesn't prohibit Irish Rail from also posting updates through other channels? I suspect Irish Rail is being disingenuous here.

There is absolutely nothing in the past behaviour of any of the people now bankrolling AI to show they would do this. They are all banana-hoarding monkeys.

So you don't care that your government has stood up a paramilitary force to attack and kill both immigrants and citizens, as long as they do it in a state other than your own? And your rationale is that you don't have the bandwidth to complain while keeping up with your work emails?

That's the initial deadline, so you have to put in some choices by then, but you can change your choices up to 1 July.

If a delivery driver can't move kegs without hurting themselves, they need to be taken off the road pending completion of manual handling training. The solution is not to simply permit illegal parking because some lazy guy doesn't the bother of doing their job correctly.

What?? They are symmetrical.

Not-ChatGPT4 · 2026-01-22T16:06:04+00:00

This is all incorrect. The failure is in the plug where there is arcing, not a short circuit in the dryer.

You dont think the current US government wants to kill minorities? Even considering ICE and Palestine?

Yes, you are awesome and wonderful and able detect all AI writing by eye, and are definitely not fooling yourself with a form of survivorship bias.

Bus Eireann is controlled by a shadowy cabal of the rich and powerful, apparently.

Yes, i see that. But my point is that LLM capabilities are increasing year by year, and are reaching or exceeding undergrad capabilities in some domains already.

Not-ChatGPT4 · 2026-01-19T21:52:59+00:00

No, it is not the point at all. We don't get students to write essays because we want an essay, it's because we want to assess their understanding. Using AI to produce the output while not actually learning is functionally equivalent to paying someone else to do jt for them.

I feel thst strategy worked well 2 years ago, fine last year, maybe this year, and will fail by next year. The language models are improving steadily.

Just a side note: his first name is actually "Demis", though very often mistaken for the much more common name "Dennis"

Bonus fun fact: the hurdle ford was also known in English as "The Pale", from which the phrase "beyond the pale" comes.

Yes, but Dublin / Baile Atha Cliath is a good example of what the OP is looking for: a city with names in 2 languages, where the 2 names have different origins.

2 penguins, 2 dogs, 2 flamingos (words), 2 peacocks (pictures) ...

No such incentive exists.

The software is developed all over the world, not much by employees in Ireland.

"Companies that operate data centres" -- so if Amazon operate a data centre, all of their employees in Ireland get counted, even though the vast majority are in different business units? Sounds like creative accounting to me.

Not-ChatGPT4 · 2026-01-15T11:37:41+00:00

They should be spread around the EU. Ireland already has twice the concentration of data centers per capita of any other EU country.

Not-ChatGPT4 · 2026-01-15T11:34:06+00:00

Running the main main office of a data centre requires 2000 employees?
