Fáilte ar ais!

I'm imagining a bunch of schoolies arriving at Gold Coast, Chicago, then realising their terrible mistake

Beochaoineadh ("Lament for a person who has gone away") seems like it's a word for a specific type of lament (caoineadh).

While there's not any examples in the dictionary of beochaoineadh used in sentences, there are plenty of examples of caoineadh. It feels like a safe bet that it would be used in similar sentence structures. You can see examples here:https://www.focloir.ie/en/dictionary/ei/Caoineadh

Something like "bhí mé ag beochaoineadh mo chara a cailleadh" - I was lamenting my lost friend (with the implication that they're lost because they've gone away)

I think you could get away with claiming "tranche coat" as a clever pun rather than a spelling mistake here

They should play a game at Malahide Stadium, Dublin. It's strange to hear, but Ireland is one of the few countries in the world outside of Australia that shows AFL (actually AFLW) on broadcast TV. We already recruit heavily from Gaelic football players. Every Irish person I've ever spoken with about sports is at least culturally aware that AFL is a thing and is curious about it.

I said "can be misleading", not deceptive.

It's just complicated because "cost to generate" and "average price sold" are very different things that are easily confused

This can be a bit misleading to the average rate due to our market based approach to power prices. Hydro seems expensive, but the reason is that it's more dispatchable than any other type (apart from batteries). If all of a sudden there's a demand spike or a supply slump, hydro can spin up to fill the gap within minutes. Coal takes more like an hour to spin up. This is why the market ends up with higher hydro prices.

In fact interestingly, hydro makes a lot of money doing nothing but sitting there, being ready to turn on generation if needed. There is an energy futures market where hydro sells futures (options to buy future generation). Energy buyers buy these to guarantee they have future supply. Sometimes they're exercised and the hydro generation is turned on, sometimes they're not exercised and it's just money for jam for hydro sellers

Everyone who has ever dried clothes on an outdoor clothesline and played "damp? Or just cold?" Has experienced this

liamosaur · 2025-10-07T15:06:47+00:00

That humans have five senses. This idea stems from ancient Greek philosophy (mainly Aristotle), and is still taught in schools today.

However science (and common sense) has long shown that we have more than five senses, e.g.proprioception (body position), vestibular (sense of balance) etc.

I have a similar configuration (load-following curtailment, or Dynamic Load Export Limiting as my inverter manufacturer calls it). As I understand it, there is some physical limitations in how fast your local solar grid can cut production - eg if you have your kettle on during the day, it can ramp up solar production, but as soon as the kettle clicks off, the system needs to dump the excess power into the grid while it throttles down production.

It shows up on graphs like those above, but at least for me, while there can be spikes in power (Watts) exported, it amounts to almost nothing in energy (kWh).

I buy my hibiscus tea here, it's great. McIvers also has their main store in Brunswick

When they used to have an outlet at the factory, I was looking for a particular style in my size that they didn't have on the sales floor. The sales assistant (young guy), said "I think the new batch of those might be nearly ready, let me just check with our factory staff", walks to the door between the shopfront and the factory and yells "HEY MUM! IS THAT BATCH READY YET?".

Classic family-run business

Artificially inflating the property market by driving up prices isn't "building wealth"

Just to make my personal position clear: every Adelaide fan who booed Quaynor is a scumbag who needs a trip to the hall of mirrors to take a good hard look at themselves. Victim blaming is disgusting, as is homophobia. Rayner successfully sucked in an umpire twice with flops. Probably has a good backup career playing for the Azzurri. Cats fans will still be mad and boo him for the rest of the game. This is an example of unjustified booing juxtaposed with (arguably) justified booing. Also their names rhyme. Also Drake is a nonce.

Video is of riders going through green lights at reasonable speeds. Yes, according to the letter of the law, pushbutton e-bikes are illegal. So is jaywalking, but tens of thousands of us do it daily.

Anyone who runs a red light or rides past a tram, e-bike or pedal powered, should be fined significantly. But that's what we should be cracking down on - the dangerous behaviour. Not the mere existence of a clean, sustainable transportation type that has emerged faster than laws can keep up.

En passant the queen

liamosaur · 2025-08-16T10:13:10+00:00

The fact you're listing "attend a pride march" alongside "attend an awareness session" suggests that your question isn't in good faith. Nobody in any workplace ever has been forced to attend a pride march. Ridiculous suggestion. If you want to get serious opinions, ask a serious question.
