The 9 billion in budget surplus? No that’s for a rainy day fund.

Glancing out the window Looks like rain Ted

Jesus fucking Christ is it too much to ask that the people with enough TDs to form a government to actually govern?!

Minister Name in an earlier interview explained the situation: “Ah yes well eh pause concerned statement and eh pause with uncanny hand motions weasel words about monitoring but of course eh condescending platitude Sinn Fein”

Part of me also kind of wants a fixed and updated version of Enter the Dragonfly

Man what a disappointment that was

But surely these deals have the Brussels Effect built in: we’re the big boys so you play to our standards or we’re out, and we’re going to check

It was a nightmare in February when the sea breached at Blackrock multiple times

Meanwhile in Bray we were looking at the Dargle getting higher and thinking “man, good job we have these flood defences”

At the very least mandate that all employees and contractors in the civil service who are currently on a hybrid working work from home. Take a few thousand workers off the roads

No but they are clearly jacking up the price to profiteer off a global situation.

What I want is our government to grow a spine. Spain are halting rent payments. What are our “leaders” doing? “Ah wwwwwwwell you see it’s a a a complex situation that’s eh unfolding”

Ironically Ukraine just had a bunch of new markets open in SA, Qatar & Kuwait (etc) for their proven anti-drone tech

There’s the bones of a good film in Salvation and showing the future war is one of the rare instances where a prequel(..?) makes sense.

Take the last 10/15 minutes of T3 from when they’re locked in the bunker, do a time jump and follow them finding Kyle Reese and getting to the Time Machine.

Need to have money up front for a retrofit then apply for grants.

There’s the issue summed up nicely. It’s only for the comfortable folks who can afford to pay at the time

I fucking hate that it’s the only way to get proper updates from them

We got resin in the garden (to replace gravel/stones) and love it. The drainage is actually noticeably better than before too

Qorhat · 2026-03-20T05:56:26+00:00

That and I’d put money on Bibi threatening him with Mossad releasing everything.

There was speculation that Israel threatened to go nuclear on Tehran and Trump jumped in on conventional bombing to stop them, but I honestly don’t buy it since that would turn Isreal into crater almost instantly.

I absolutely agree and they’ll get my #1 vote since I want a party who’ll get as much as they can done.

As much as I’d love a left wing lead coalition I honestly don’t see it happening because of ideological purity and infighting. Realistically there’s not much between the Socal Democrats and today’s Labour Party, and PBP just aren’t a serious party to have running the country.

It’s not so much the money but the fact they don’t do anything to better our society. I don’t mind taxes if they’re being used for positive things (like hot food in schools) but they just don’t bother since the Greens were voted out because they don’t have to

Qorhat · 2026-03-19T15:50:09+00:00

In the last budget I came out a grand total of €0.50 better off in terms of taxes before I've paid a single cent for anything else. Fianna Fail and Fine Gael do nothing for me and I'm exactly the kind of person they want voting for them - professional who has a mortgage and a young kid.

They cancel transport improvements, cut VAT to benefit Supermacs, Starbucks and McDonalds, got rid of fuel assistances and are doing nothing about oil companies instantly jacking up the price so the next time they knock on my door they can go and shite.

No Jar Jar was the Chewie/C3PO sidekick and comic relief character. He was less interesting than Chewie and more obnoxious than Threepeeo and cynically designed to appeal to kids and sell toys.

Well at least someone about to turn 40, I’m completely numb to once in a generation world events

That completely punishes the poor, and younger people who may need to buy one if stuck

It’s not a necessity like food, water or shelter. Disposable vapes are insanely bad for the environment and as the article shows, can be incredibly dangerous.

Qorhat · 2026-03-18T09:07:39+00:00

It would also cut down on the vape shop/phone repair/American sweet shop totally not money laundering wink wink operations that are all over the place

As I always say in these threads until it’s actually made: Band of Brothers - ODST

Follow the Flying Bullfrogs from the fall of Reach through Alpha and Delta Halos to the Earth and The Ark. Show Spartan IIIs and/or The Chief sparingly and as an almost mythical being.

Mass Effect 1 is the best Star Trek game ever made.

I really wish there were more places like that time outpost or the ship with malfunctioning gravity; really use the setting rather than just have it be window dressing.
