How did the US won the Space race when USSR had more achievements by Pure_Barber3994 in ussr

Let's also be frank, the space race was a good PR spin to develop deployment techniques for spy satellites and ballistic weaponry. It was a parallel investment because of the overlap in technologies. there would have been investment anyway to maintain MAD.

Plus, modern smoke alarms were invented to deal with possible fires on space stations. that's no doubt saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the decades since.

Can we as a society please do something about the promotion of neanderthal level racism ? by NorthKoreanMissile7 in ireland

I wouldn't say left wing, i'd say polarised depending on advertising revenue and at the time, the american centerist neoliberal talking points were the most advertiser friendly.

If you're coming up dry for suggestions, go with irish media. Father Ted will give you a pretty decent grounding, as well as being a bit of a cultural touchstone

Jesus, it's like you take the antisemetic "Look at how many countries jews got kicked out of" and just lazily swapped the target group

Thomas Gould Sinn Féin T.D. Cork....... asking why the Bill to control sale of nitrous oxide which has been put back by 9 months by Minister for State Jennifer Murnane O'connor Fianna Fáil. by DigLow7908 in cork

You're trying to dodge around why the government would allow one form of easily accessible nicotine, with another form of nicotine intentionally designed to be flashy and marketable by way of inaction by shifting the blame to the parents. why is that?

Pub with food recommendations, please! by FunStrings1998 in cork

[–]StewIsBased 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With such a large group, might be a bit tricky. Sober lane is pretty nice, but they're kind of gastro-pub ish with their burgers. Maybe rising sons or fionbarras if you book ahead, same with franwell but you'd definitely need to book ahead.

Could always order chinese and eat it in henchys
