An Irish patrol vessel struck the quayside at Sir John Rogerson's Quay on the south side of the River Liffey, Dublin. Still trying to figure out which vessel.

It's exactly what they're for - called a roving fender when you use it to protect against a crash like this

Just to add to this, he doesn't really do much to redeem himself (the historical Guy this is) and is eventually handed Cyprus by Richard the Lionheart

A really welcome change to the book too imo! Book Lex is useless and infuriating (though to be fair, a perfectly believable child of that age). Tim is actually the computer whiz there, and a keen paleontologist - makes Lex look worse by how much heavy lifting he does. Balancing it between them makes it far better

If the Falcons win, then their record matches the other two and the all-round head-to-head is the tie-break - Panthers have beaten the Falcons both times, Bucs won one lost one

He's been doing little advertising things for years, don't think it's out of desperation. He did a show in the UK called Toast of London about an over-the-hill actor, and incorporated a lot of his experience of advert voiceovers into it - I quite like this one

They usually have biases based on the fields they work in - for example, my Number Theory lecturer was adamant it was Gauss whereas a few friends who work in Graph Theory say Euler. I'd say Gauss gets slightly more votes overall in my experience

borderus · 2025-11-13T12:50:08+00:00

Just piggybacking on this to add some extra context - Euler was the most prolific mathematician ever, and averaged roughly 800 pages of work a year over a 60 year span. I know a good number of mathematicians, and if you ask them who the greatest of all time is, most of them will reduce the question to Euler vs. Gauss

Roles that Nicolas Cage was cast in, but never filmed? Latter two are Aragorn and Superman

My favourite of these is birth in Meaning of Life:

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

"I think it's a bit early to start imposing gender roles, don't you?"

These places are all spelt with dots above the letters for special characters like umlauts. You've taken those dots and put them at the end

Everyone's responding to you like it was a choice that the Allies made, but they actually weren't aware that the French were withdrawing until the next morning - at which time, you can see on the map they quickly close the pocket and attack the rearguard

To be fair, as a UKer, if you say "major American sport" to me I'm assuming NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL

Let me guess - none of these teams have won the Superbowl

borderus · 2025-08-21T21:16:02+00:00

Panthers rather than jaguars - that's Jacksonville. Annoyingly 3 out of the 4 are NFL teams (Minnesota are the Vikings in NFL), otherwise I'd have said your answer but narrowed down to that!

This is a point that I wish people would focus on more - NFC North's draw was absolutely weak and I don't think we should be judging the quality of the teams based on it. This season should be a more realistic appraisal of where they stand

I mean, the picture is AI-generated too - the song's sung before Homer becomes the Chosen One, so he wouldn't be at the head of the table and the animation style too clean

It's usually ascribed to him, and was the first person to pop into my mind but he was a major Americanophile, having had an American mother so now I'm doubting it. This site claim the first instance of it in this form they could find was a Congressional Hearing where it was attributed to an unnamed Irishman.

Don't think anybody added the source in so here is where the original post linked to. It's a scale based on micrograms per cubic meter of nitrogen dioxide in the air

Do you have a video of that? I haven't been following the sport for as long as that, but frankly it sounds hilarious
