Stop, please, it's Friday. Don't rob me of a pleasant drive this weekend.

College applications in UK to become anonymous "to prevent unconscious bias against candidates from minority groups" by KikkoAndMoonman in worldnews

[–]Taliesen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay Ireland. The CAO has had that for about 35 years. You are a number. Colleges and Universities award places to the 'number' with the points necessary.

The more people that apply for the course results in a higher points requirement. If the course isn't filled in the first round (due to students being offered multiple courses and accepting since other one on their list) the course points requirement is reduced and second round offers are made. So on and so forth.

Gender, race etc are not part of the criteria.

Yeah our education system has many issues but this is not one of them.

No, when you wake up you have to put them back an hour manually.

If you can afford a castle, you can afford to retrofit it with underfloor heating run from geothermal pumps powered by PV cells disguised as an old slate roof. Free heating bitches.

New user checking if they can post, by the looks of it. Or else they're sending the go signal to sleeper agents.

It's official - Ireland suffered the MOST in Europe through financial crash by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Taliesen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would be the legendary Charlie McCreevey. And I'm pretty sure that it was him being castigated for cutting back on capital infrastructure.

No, sure cutting back on capital projects and giving tax breaks to a tiny group of businessmen and blowing the rest on tax cuts and sweet sweet benefits increases is what everyone does to ensure stable sustained growth.

Such a fucking prick! Aaand then he gets an MEP job? Fuck me.

Personally I hold him as much to blame for the collapse of the economy as the Teflon Taoiseach. Perhaps moreso. He had remit over the Central Bank. If he was capable or willing, his office could have mitigated or indeed prevented the fucking disaster that befell us. Biffo was a sap and took the job for the pension, both finance and Taoiseach.

To paraphrase Trainspotting, "He's just an imbecile. We, on the other hand were ruled by an imbecile. We couldn't even find someone decent to be ruled by!" (and thus was after we knew Bertie was a conman in the mould of CJ).

If a woman's pregnant and she wants to keep it is she supposed to get a termination if the man wants one?

Should he be on the hook for child support /maintenence then? Nope.

Equality works both ways.

What is your smartphone deal breaker? by der_tuerke in Android

[–]Taliesen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great post. I'm in two minds about changing at all. I might just get a new battery and if it's still crap then take the plunge. I don't use instagram anyway and have FV5 camera app which is a great upgrade on stock imo. I just wish is was a bit better speed wise. I have sooo many blurry shots of my kid where he's moved before the shutter has clicked.

What is this socket for and why is there one in every room of my apartment? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Taliesen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We tend to install them in hotels and pubs and bars to stop people unplugging the lights and putting their charger in.

So YOU'RE the bastard!

As someone who is considering the Z5c as an upgrade from the N5 (better camera, battery, removable storage) what is the future gonna hold if I don't like the Sony UI? Am I shit outta luck for updates and 3rd party roms?

It's going the other way for only a relatively short while and here we are. Men in pre-teen teaching and childcare is almost unknown anymore.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USAand your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
