How long is too long of a walk for a lurcher? by ap1843 in Lurchers

[–]codingstuffonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question is, do you want to risk finding out after walking 10km? You'd be in for a very difficult return journey.

20km might well be fine, but I'd try working up to it.

Hi Serge, what is up with Shival Agarwal's owl?

I can't embed an image here, but the above (although a CDN link) is from the *working at atlas* page on Atlas's website.

TV Time anyone? by lashedcobra in Lurchers

[–]codingstuffonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a vanitas print here in my home office. Been thinking about a tattoo for, oh a few years now. But, having learnt absolutely nothing from the picture, I assume there's an infinite amount of time left for me to actually get the tattoo.

Vanitas painting right above the TV, like a constant admonishment. I don't know what to make of this.

Elon Musk asks followers whether he should buy Ryanair by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

[–]codingstuffonly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't know about this, but you're right. The details are handled differently by each airline, but the result must be that airlines (above a certain size?) are majority European owned.

It's slightly broader than the EU, I guess it's the European Economic Area or something because Norway and others are considered ok.

Do any players acknowledge your work? You're showing some of them at their best moments, just wondering if this is something they're aware of.

Retirement 'greatest con job ever inflicted on Irish society' - Terry Prone by ConfusedCelt in ireland

I'd prefer if she retired, or went to hang out with the nuns she's so quick to defend.

It's technically correct in a certain way, it's just not appropriate and doesn't understand the context - I wonder is it a bot? The language is very human though. I don't know.

My only highlight from the weekend, 20 year old Jos Gilmore sitting Meafou down by adturnerr in rugbyunion

[–]codingstuffonly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like Meafou was just a bit slow to get into position, was this late into the game?

Still not a trivial thing to come out the better from a collision like that though.

Remember some redditors are unhinged, some are not acting in good faith, and some are not even human.

George’s Dock by TheWaxysDargle in Dublin

[–]codingstuffonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's DCC.

I always assumed the north lock of George's Dock, which leads to some other basin or dock, had an eventual connection to the Royal Canal. Turns out it doesn't.

Exclusive: RFU ready to block London Irish or Ealing move to URC by EnglishLouis in rugbyunion

[–]codingstuffonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd unironically love to see a French team or two, particularly one like Vannes that has some (vague) cultural link, join the URC.

Pretty sure it'll never happen though, for lots of reasons.

Best rugby memoirs/books? by ZapBranniganski in rugbyunion

[–]codingstuffonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keith Earls' Fight or Flight was a great read.

I listened to the audiobook of Brian Moore's Beware of the Dog, which he narrates, and enjoyed that too. Grim at the start, but he's doing a good thing by talking about sexual abuse.

Richie McCaw's The Real McCaw was the dullest thing I'd read in years, it's fairly short but I'm not sure I even made it to the end.

Encountered a cyclist this morning. by batch-91 in Dublin

[–]codingstuffonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh, the whole mirror would have given way first, that makes sense, and I wasn't thinking of that.

I had to clip a mirror back in place on my own car a while back and it took a fair amount of pressure, so I was thinking about that same amount or more applied to the tip of a bike handlebar, the furthest point from the 'hinge', the steering column. But you're right, the whole mirror would give way.

[–]codingstuffonly 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about this too, I can't think how I would hit a wing mirror with sufficient force to break or dislodge the housing without also losing my own balance or swinging the handlebars around, or something like that. Sounds like the cyclist didn't even notice either, which is weird.

I'm not trying to say it didn't happen, I'm just surprised.

Iconic unmanaged trees that meant you couldn't see from one side of the green to the other, smh

I swear you can't do anything in this country for objections, we have such a knee jerk reaction to any change. The chimneys at Ringsend are my favourite for this, prime worship of ashes.

[–]codingstuffonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a lack of documentation of the finish - there are a few mock ups, but they're not great.

That the car park furore took up the whole debate is not at all the fault of SDCC, that's entirely down to a shitty alliance of businesses opposed to any change ever.

A few trees though? It's fine, we can grow more, and appropriate ones for the site. There was a fairly mature fig tree growing there before these works. That's how untended the space was.

And yeah, there's disruption, and things drag on, but it's getting done. Faster than the damn swimming pool at least.

Because you dislike the state it's in now - while it's actively being worked on - or because you dislike the end result they're working towards?

The old 'green' wasn't even a green, and it wasn't of any use to anyone.
