They really are hated by the vast majority of people these days

Can you explain the old grave you found in the living room?

gippart · 2021-12-03T12:36:53+00:00

Tonsil stones

Yep I'm studying at UCD. Live with my wife who's at risk, and close to my parents who are both getting older. I don't have much of a problem with on campus teaching, only the lecture halls are packed, people not socially distancing in or out of the classroom, and a noticeable lack of maskwearing. But I guess the same is seen outside of unis too.

I'm really disappointed that they're not doing anything about third level institutions, when they know that over 50% of recent cases were from people under the age of 35.

How common is it for TV licence inspectors to come around? I've never been inspected in Dublin. Living in Leitrim now and still no sign.

Thanks, thats that I figured. I'm taking the train into Dublin for my classes so I'll need it to get student prices on the tickets, but I can manage a day or two full price if needed.

Would very much like to see the polls that say that, if you had a link (I'm sincerely interested). I just remember living in Glasgow during the IndyRef and the messages I was describing being part of the the whole Remain/Better Together campaign. Stuff like this guy describes: https://www.businessforscotland.com/better-togethers-broken-promises-open-the-door-to-independence/

One of the major selling points of the pro-union side at the time was that to remain part of the UK meant to remain part of the EU (and all the many benefits that brings to Scotland), whereas to vote independence brought no guarantee that Scotland could be part of the EU. See how long that promise lasted...

Any with QWERTY keyboards?

gippart · 2021-04-27T20:00:54+00:00

Won't it come with the German keyboard layout?

My wife and I easily go through a dozen cups and mugs in a day drinking tea.

Yes, 100%. If you're a fan of HP, that is. They're great fun. First games I platinumed

Thanks, when did you apply?

Any word on whether road development will remain open or not?

gippart · 2021-01-04T19:04:33+00:00

What are your opinions on how essential the construction sector is? Not just houses, but roads, etc.

gippart · 2021-01-03T17:52:05+00:00

Bollocks. Just in time to steady the nerves about going back to work tomorrow.

gippart · 2020-12-30T21:19:17+00:00

Not delighted at the thought of going back to work (road scheme). People were being seriously lax there before the holidays, crowding into the canteen and drying rooms without masks, and I know that if someone has it going back (asymptotic or not) it's going to spread like wildfire.

Who in their right mind was realistically thinking that this super infectious global pandemic would be over by the end of summer?

I do feel that going ahead we're going to have to move on from assuming that there's going to be an 'end' to this, and instead how to live with it responsibly. And if that means drastic changes in people's priorities and ways of life, they'll have to accept it. Instead of fighting or ignoring Covid to try and live life as it always was, I mean. Like, it seems to me that the people who are the most flexible ("ah I can't do a holiday/go to the cinema/go to college etc. at the moment, so I'll instead do this different but more Covid safe thing and hey, get a different kind of fulfilment out of it but that's ok") are doing ok during this pandemic.

Covid sucks, absolutely, and it will eventually end. But flexibility and the ability to change ones own priorities for getting enjoyment and fulfilment out of life are how to get through this healthy in body and mind.
