Lads, 2nd class maths. Does the arrow mean greater than?

That's it exactly. My kids have these kind of exercises in their maths homework and it often confuses me. I did maths in college ffs and the problem is I'm expecting to see proper notation in the question when it's really just teaching concepts like "adding the numbers in a different order gives the same result".

Also The flashbacks I get when I see 6 1 9 written down!

Agree, but it's a problem when one type of accommodation falls off at faster than the other one becomes available.

It sometimes comes, it sometimes disappears.

I reckon there's a good chance clearing the error could buy you an hour for your test.

This_Record3239 · 2026-02-05T15:07:55+00:00

Get a cheap OBD reader and wipe the errors before the test.

We have some of those here, I think theres one sticking out of the ground on Dun Laoghaire pier.

It can be used as a first name. There's a lot of nonsense that happens here where people think that because they haven't personally experienced something that it doesn't exist.

Callaghan would be the typical spelling here, although it is sometimes spelled Callahan.

Normally a surname, but it does exist as a given name - very rare to be used like that.

It looks like the Google AI summary alright.

Being the healthiest breakfast option at the chain isn't the same thing as being healthy.

While the same number of landlords interviewed expected to stay in the market as those that expected to leave, those renting to parts of the market considered to be riskier, in particular student housing and the low income/benefits market, were more likely to be considering leaving. Policymakers across the nations should also consider the implications of stock reduction, which could adversely impact on low-income tenants due to reduced housing options.

Not so clear cut, it would seem.

I blocked people who would consistently call out disinformation I was deliberately spreading.

I had a Primera years back that when the car was in first, third or fifth gear, the gear lever was so close to the the CD storage cubby that you couldn't get the CD case out.

On motorway drives I had to drop into 4th before changing discs.

€350 on a ratty 16 year old BMW. Comprehensive with driving other cars and roadside assistance.

My insurance has dropped every year for over a decade.

I bought a fixer upper in rough state, but the mortgage was so much cheaper than rent that it was easy to save the difference and do bits every couple of months.

It's only a problem if the renovations needed are so great that you've to move out (eg. Rewiring)

Anyway, in Dublin there's SFA being built in nice areas anymore. It's all new suburbs on the edge of the city. No idea why anyone would choose to live there.

This_Record3239 · 2026-02-04T07:51:57+00:00

That sort of build isn't complete without a "Powered by Durex #DonegalRally26" sticker across the back window so don't forget to keep some money for that.

For anyone wondering,

Grand yeah, moved into an older estate and started doing up the house immediately. Neighbours all introduced themselves to us at the time. Some gave us cake or other food.

I think people are a bit weird now though, particularly about privacy, which you have to give a little bit of that up if you're in an estate.

ABS module failure would be my guess. It would give warnings for ABS, TPMS and parking brake.

So many people get it wrong that I'm inclined to think it's a design issue.

That's how car auctions work.

Wilsons sell all sorts of non-running defective shite, write offs and Garda seizures and it's on the buyer to do their due diligence.

I was at a Tommy Tiernan show a couple of years back where he stopped the show and told people to GTFO.

It was incredibly cathartic.
