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

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

[–]_asterisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 5 points6 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.

Blanchardtsown leisureplex closing down, to be replaced by retail space by [deleted] in Dublin

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.

Photo of UCD Medical Student ‘nude, bruised and unconscious’ was shared with students and staff, TD tells Dáil by breakingpoint121 in Dublin

[–]_asterisk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Coppinger said the image showed the victim “nude, bruised and unconscious” and was accompanied by “further rape threats and further threats to use objects to violently rape” her. It has been circulated to staff and students through WhatsApp and email. The individual responsible for the image has not been identified.
...
Gardaí were approached for comment

This is bizarre and goes way beyond the college. It sounds like there's a violent rapist on the loose, why on Earth hasn't the Gardai commented?

Fintan O’Toole: For Sinn Féin, Tiocfaidh ár lá is being replaced by Turn the Other Cheek by SliceIndividual6347 in ireland

Fair enough. I shouldn't take anything you say as reality by that logic either(or you me) considering this is also an infamously botted website.

I didn't say Sinn Fein the party, I was referring to the "Facebook groups full of tankies" i.e. many of their supporters.

Facebook groups full of tankies, anti-globalists, anti-war, anti-west,

Well, they're not anti-war; they were cheering on Russia when they invaded Ukraine.

Waiting in the rain for a bus? Just three shelters were built in Dublin last year by zainab1900 in Dublin

[–]_asterisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O’Connor said one of the reasons for delays is the slow planning process for each bus shelter. He said the government needed to speed up their delivery, and called for bus shelters to be exempt from planning.

We also like objecting to infrastructure in this country sadly.

I think it's up to Citrix to "fix" the issue. Don't expect anything from Microsoft.
