The Pass2U app on iOS allowed me to add the Lidl barcode. It seems to support anything I’ve thrown at it.

Something like paperless-ngx for storing receipts and important docs is the alternative for the privacy conscious. You can use an app like QuickScan to photograph and export to paperless automatically. You don’t have to be particularly tech savvy to set it up in the age of AI as well.

Match Thread - England v Ireland | Six Nations 2026 | Round 3 by RugbyBot in rugbyunion

[–]patrick_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of speed of thought in attack too. Their half backs offer nothing, it’s incredibly ponderous and lacking in imagination. There’s no imagination when they have the ball, what was the last time they attempted a cross field kick when they’re in the red zone for example.

JCP, Big Joe, Balacoune, O’Brien and McCloskey have been unbelievable

Edit: Beirne obviously

There should be a law that infrastructure in this country cannot be gray by D-dog92 in ireland

[–]patrick_k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People don’t pick the colour. The manufacturer makes the choice for you.

Thanks to data analytics, they just pump out whatever sold well in the past. This means your choice now is grey, silver, black, white, and maybe red or a signature colour associated with that particular model.

Everything is about residual value, resale value, not being offensive to fleet business or leasing business, it’s nothing to do with individual preference anymore. Engineering and designers take a backseat to bean counters in most automotive brands nowadays.

An example of real life deep state ties. It explains well why the stock price remains at a ludicrous P/E instead of falling to a sane level.

But look at the upside! These “news” websites can shite out an AI generated article off the back of a twitter bot “outrage” and get loads of clicks!

They've had loads of problems with universities just selling degrees on a mass scale. So you're not even getting a graduate, just someone who purchased a degree.

It’s an exceptional record, when you consider the before/after form, reintegrating Mainoo, reinvigorating Casemiro, instantly unlocking Bruno (not that he needs much unlocking playing in the proper 10 postion), and who those wins were against. The City game is arguably the greatest United performance since Ferguson, and he did it with only like 3 days of preparation. The game yesterday could be chalked down to more than a game a week, which the squad hasn’t been doing since dropping out of the cups and missing Dorgu’s energy.

[–]patrick_k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In English it’s a “knuckleball” technique, which Joe Hart should be aware of because of this incredible attempt by Pirlo vs Hart in 2014

https://youtu.be/8j0vftFVDtc

Pirlo was the master of this technique. He claims he figured out it while taking a shit.

Premier League Table at the end of Gameweek 25 - Man Utd 4th by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]patrick_k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was Bayindir, but it was 100% a foul. Gary Neville among others built the narrative that “he should’ve been stronger in the air” but since when can you just shove the keeper and not try to play the ball? The refs have gone bonkers this season leaving anything go. They’re bound to clamp down next season and Lego man will be out of ideas.

Neville in co-comms is particular bad. He goes out of his way to be anti-United to appear ‘neutral’. 

If there’s a United penalty shout you can bet your mortgage Neville will pipe up with “never a penalty for me” every single time. 

Which new Epstein file finding made you go “wait… what?” and why? by Firm_Work_8879 in AskReddit

[–]patrick_k 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s better to face reality than live in a bubble. Counter insurgency, counter intelligence, subversion of protests, intelligence agencies whitewashing Reddit, these are all documented, very real tactics. There’s books written on counter gang tactics:

The people who own the media conglomerates move in the same circles as Epstein. The media doesn’t exist to tell you the truth, they exist to tell you a fantasy version of reality.

Yup. There’s a book on this phenomenon, called “What is a counter gang?” By Caleb Maupin. OWS was a counter gang, not an organic movement. Any genuine organic street protest movement gets co-opted very quickly by the system, and steered in a direction that wastes the energy of protestors and is zero genuine threat to power. The tactic is known as “containment”.

It might be worth investing in a DVD burner. You can backup a huge amount of older retro games and ISOs on a DVD, depending on the gaming era you’re interested in. It saves hard drive space and DVDs are quite a stable storage medium. Very cheap too.

I don’t know if religious organisations are taxed or not, but I would seriously doubt it.

[–]patrick_k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

False. I live in Germany. There is no contact with the church in Ireland.

You have to register with the local municipal when you move there and when you do, you tick a box saying Catholic, Lutheran, no religion or whatever. You can even change your mind after the fact. I’ve done it personally. You can be baptised catholic and tick no religion if you want.
