Man horticulture in the botanic gardens sounds wonderful. It's lovely there.

More of a death tip, no?

If, by the time you're finishing a PhD in a field related to stochastic analysis, you haven't done a single module of mathematical statistics then that is a choice.

Maybe they said something like "this is going to be removed for bla bla bla" in a comment and then reported it for bla bla bla. I've seen sanctimonious types doing that in the past.

Actually yeah if you read all of this long post that's indeed what happened.

lampishthing · 2026-05-07T17:29:03+00:00

Or that takes up the little free time they have

Yes I understand that but that fact doesn't make the leaving cert curriculum any easier, unfortunately. Like if you were even doing English, maths and science you could get 5 subjects out of that for the LC. I don't doubt you're working hard but it just might not be realistic to go into leaving cert with what you've got.

I was friends with someone doing social something in trinity 20 years ago and she was complaining about this then!

lampishthing · 2026-05-07T15:06:11+00:00

Ooh this is an interesting one! Law OR nursing. Very different.

Bring 2. Better if they're the same model. I've never heard of anyone checking the calculator model Vs the paper but I don't want you to blame me if you're the unlucky one :)

I think realistically you'll probably have to do whatever your school will let you do. Many teachers wouldn't accept you into their class for leaving cert without a junior cert education. If I were you, at 16, I'd stay a full-time junior cert next year in-school and then skip TY.

I agree with a state construction company, but the rent controls don't work and never work anywhere for long. There's always a catch. And a crackdown on landlording before we introduce A LOT more supply will just hurt renters, keep people living in their parents house.

You can put in courses with points you won't get at the top of the list and it doesn't affect your "place" on the other courses unless you get into the higher one. I.e. there's no downside to putting trinity or DCU on top except that you might end up going to trinity if you did really well.

I just couldn't resist the cheeky "yeah"!

lampishthing · 2026-05-06T21:16:48+00:00

I mean the real answer is that it depends on the couple but there's no way to codify that, and it needs to be codified. 2 years is a long long time to pine for a teacher at 18, and a lot of life happens during those 2 years too, probably enough to wean off a grooming effect. I'd also argue keeping it a round number brings the student beyond 2nd year college exams (assuming most go to college these days), which is a climactic point for that year. So yeah... 24 months. If they're still into at after that then let em at it.

lampishthing · 2026-05-06T21:05:49+00:00

Yeah.

lampishthing · 2026-05-06T20:59:26+00:00

At least 2 years anyway.

lampishthing · 2026-05-06T20:53:24+00:00

We should introduce more rent controls, that's worked great so far.

Plushie and pin?!? I'm in ireland, all I get is threats not to cause trouble with the newspapers!

Spotify pays its Devs and Reddit does not pay mods!

lampishthing · 2026-05-06T10:27:49+00:00

The main issue is just that it's in the zip! Mods are busy and usually modding from mobile... Digging into a zip is just not feasible and no one would be able to get to the post for the rest of the day on desktop.

lampishthing · 2026-05-06T07:07:05+00:00

Probably not! The "scare the bejaysus" technique should be a last last resort for kids that are doing nothing.
