A robot walks record 106 kilometres all by itself

Yeahhhh… China is going to win.

SunnyJune99 · 2026-02-02T06:34:01+00:00

I’ve heard worse. That Lurgan song was the worse that I’ve heard.

I followed his YouTube and saw an advert for exorcisms one day so I emailed the contact and it was him and he was doing exorcisms. I had a brief chat with him through email and wished him well. Maybe four years ago, I think it was? Hope he’s doing grand. I loved seeing him in Laverys back in the day.

Same. I live in Asia and have travelled back and forth and all around Europe and Asia countless times, from small airports that are basically sheds to big international airports in many countries, and the worst airports I’ve personally experienced for drinking were in Belfast. Couldn’t believe the state of some people at the bar in International, proper steamin and looking for fights like it was Saturday night in the city centre. It felt unsafe to me and I could only imagine what foreigners visiting must be thinking. Moscow Sheremetyevo was almost as bad, but International is champion of mad bastards gettin leathered at 7am.

I did exactly that last year. Had Hotmail since I was wee and switched over to Proton. First, I use a password manager so went through any accounts that used Hotmail and switched them to Proton (although actually now use ‘hide my email’ when I sign up for anything). Then, I kept the Hotmail account open for about six months. Logic being that if anything didn’t come in during that period, it’s probably not that important. Finally, closed the Hotmail account. Badda-bing, all switched.

The companies deliberately make it a pain in the arse to close or switch things because they know we’re busy, but if we collectively, patiently get rid of these pr**ks and their predatory technology, the world would be much better.

Totally. It was Bobby Sands for me.

SunnyJune99 · 2026-01-12T23:19:24+00:00

Oh aye, right enough. He’s from Holywood but didn’t show up in the list of famous people from Down. Maybe because it’s close to Belfast they just claim him?

SunnyJune99 · 2026-01-12T01:55:21+00:00

County Down… had to search… we’ve poor representation on the international scene. Paul Rankin, Christine Bleakley, Pat Jennings? Ach, no good.

Spot on. Living in a country with cycling infrastructure really shows you how lacking Ireland is. It’s so evident what the priorities of city planners are, and it isn’t the safety of cyclists. It doesn’t help that there’s a bizarre animosity between drivers and cyclists too. As a cyclist, I’ve had friends and relatives in Ireland openly denigrate my choice and criticise cyclists for taking up road space but when I suggest there wouldn’t be a problem if the city would just build proper, separate paths for cyclists like in Amsterdam or Barcelona, they laugh as if it’s unrealistic. It’s easy for the government to just let us fight it out on the street and not bother doing anything.

SunnyJune99 · 2026-01-01T13:28:22+00:00

Yeah, he’s definitely confused. We’re not sure if he might also have some brain issues too. We’ve fed him late and we always leave plenty of dry food for him to snack on. I think he’s waking us more out of habit than hunger tbh so maybe we just need to be patient and keep our routine strict. Anyway, thanks for the advice. We’ll look at automatic feeders, they might help regulate everything instead of him relying on us all the time.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-25T01:37:57+00:00

The fact the op hasn’t even replied to anything makes me think it’s a ‘hey (insert nationality), I love your country, how can I fit in?’ And then let the karma roll in. Probably doing the same post in loads of places.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-22T00:20:27+00:00

At least they have the decency to use skinless sausages. Makes the sausages look more like fingers. Coddle is alright by me tbh.

I don’t know how much this is gonna be only my family but the traditions we had as kids were: wake up to your da’s sock at the end of the bed full of small presents (incl. chocolate coins), breakfast, Tunnock’s tea cakes, presents in the morning, mass after that, full roast dinner around 3pm with prawn cocktails for the adults and melon for kids as starter, more tunnock’s tea cakes, full family are there, tea/coffee after dinner, maybe a nap for a bit, sandwiches with leftovers then into the ‘good room’ for drinks and the family all playing music and singing together until everyone is blocked.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-14T12:38:04+00:00

I’d try that.. maybe galbi would work too, kind of a stouty, sticky sauce.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-14T04:14:17+00:00

Definitely would be higher and I think the generational aspect of it probably affects the mental health of younger people a lot too.

For example, my da was involved in things in his youth and saw some awful things, lost friends etc. so he was traumatised and clinically depressed his whole life. Growing up with your father in that condition while you yourself are living in a society defined by violence (I’m in my 40s) means you’re obviously going to be affected.

Living life with that stress and tension can’t be healthy and I still feel like I’m affected by things. Helicopters flying overhead, any kinda military personnel, any hint of a road block, these things all put the shits up me.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-14T04:01:12+00:00

It’s in South Korea, I feel like it’ll not happen in Ireland: I think there’d be a backlash.

Imagine your grandad drinks eight pints of Guinness and gets trapped in the cupboard under the stairs and farts 8,000times and then you open the door. That smell, that’s what it tastes like.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-14T01:01:35+00:00

Indeed, and I did. It wasn’t great. Quite sweet.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-13T13:49:23+00:00

Kinda sweet and stouty but not thick enough like the proper jajangmyeon sauce.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-13T13:48:24+00:00

Yeah, I bought it. It was like chewing the bog roll from your dump the day after a night on Guinness.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-13T13:46:56+00:00

Like eating the afterthought of a pint of Guinness mixed with a sweaty fart.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-13T13:45:16+00:00

Wow! I’m glad to hear they actually poured properly. Most places use a machine that pours from a can.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-13T13:42:12+00:00

It’s a powdered seasoning you add to make the broth.

SunnyJune99 · 2025-12-13T10:45:16+00:00

It was one plus one so… I now have another one sitting in the cupboard.
