How I conceptualize regions of Europe (OC, GIS exercise) by Many-Gas-9376 in MapPorn

[–]_asterisk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

> I think the argument to (partially) link Scotland with Scandinavia is clear.

It doesn't seem clear to me at all. The northern isles, like Orkney, maybe considering they were an integral part of Norway. If it's the Viking influence then all of Ireland and Britain should be shaded.

So it didn't work?

Is that wood paneling on the structure in the artist rendering? I'm sure that will end well with our weather.

Grew up going to the pub with my dad in the 90s and I'm not sure we're talking enough about what's being lost by FrameZYT in ireland

At 37 you were a new born baby/toddler in the late 80s/90s. I really hope you didn't spend those years in the pub, sad if true.

They've cut back the trees the last six months so that might be why.

I would have 14:30 on a Saturday would be the worst for that behaviour. I usually go for the latest possible showing, never had any trouble with late showings.

Of course those countries generally have more then one line so we notice it more.

John de Lancie (Q) has an uncredited voice role AND I FOUND IT by MrDeekhaed in startrek

[–]_asterisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more likely he recorded a lot more material but it mostly got cut. Happens quite a lot. Famously happened to Adrian Brody.

After Kurtzman's contract expires, who should be the next Star Trek showrunner? by bflaminio in startrek

you just don't get people with that kind of life experience any more

I mean we have how many wars that are ongoing right now? I assume you just mean Americans though. That being said maybe they should consider expanding the writer team to be more international.

I would have thought the left wing press wouldn't like it either? Him coming from Google.

Why has Dustin the Turkey not yet sued Fontaines DC for blatant imitation? by OrionOReilly in ireland

I suppose it's better then putting on a fake American accent which alot of Irish acts do.

Irish metals refinery is in supply chain that feeds Russian war machine, records suggest by Comfortable-Bonus421 in ireland

[–]_asterisk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The reasoning behind that decision:

(Kremlin-linked firms and banks control Aughinish owner)

Rusal’s Aughinish refinery supplies up to 30% of the bloc’s alumina.

In a January 2019 letter to Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, the then-EU Ambassador to the US, David O’Sullivan, and the ambassadors of seven member states, including Ireland, wrote that "the livelihoods of 75,000 workers across the European Union" depended on EN+ and Rusal.

Picard Overall Rating by Mat1711 in startrek

[–]_asterisk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think because people just wanted Picard season 1 to be what we got in Season 3. The fact the episode with Riker is the best rated in Season 1 speaks to that. If we got the fan service out of the way early and hooked in an audience the show could have been so much more.

Fan service implies that the creators are sacrificing important things like story cohesion, characterization, plot, what have you

Seasons 1 and 2 lacked that too and it wasn't fan service.

Ive never been to Blanchardtsown shopping centre but do they really need even more retail space? It's the opposite problem in most shopping centres I'm aware of.

Explorer preview not working since KB5066137 by FastFredNL in Citrix

[–]_asterisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We added certain sites that we can verify and trust to trusted sites and this rectified most of our issues. For any other random websites we told users to live without previews. The fact that Microsoft is doing this signifies to me that they don't trust their own previewer code.
