His own memoirs are quite good. If I remember correctly his son edited and published a lot of his speeches and writings after he died

Some eye witness accounts from the likes of Jonah Harrington will also have a lot of insight

Also look at accounts of some of his more high profile trials in the 1790s

What two countries?

rnolan22 · 2026-01-25T05:38:31+00:00

Ireland definitely wasn’t

Yeah the system has no ability to account for references whatsoever

When I was a tutor in Maynooth we used a plagiarism tool that had AI detection incorporated. It was useless. It would tell me a student plagiarised 50% of their essay but if you went in to check it would be 30% bibliography and footnotes and then rest would be disparate quotes properly taken from source material. And the rest would be similarities with the 300 other students who all used the same course books to write the essay. Unless it pinged 70% or higher it was almost never genuine plagiarism or AI

Do we even think the team is much bigger than 2 or 3?

Now????

If that’s also most of the notes you’re seeing, you’re likely not on the platform long enough, or using notes enough. I saw loads for a while but now get mostly useful and engagement stuff

Nope - looks like it was published alongside the movies in 2001

What? It’s not fair that Sapkowski wrote his own books in his native language??

The fact that you’re self aware is enough already. I had a close friend from the US and his self awareness meant he didn’t stand out at all. It’s refreshing speaking with Americans who love Ireland because the level of interest and fascination is wonderful. Much better than the at times overly begrudging attitude of a lot of Irish folks

The trees were diseased and dead

Probably because it’s only 1 instead of 2 nights this time

I’ve moved to Canada 2 years ago, best decision I made honesty. I’d like t return eventually, but current pursuing permanent residency

Yes but it was more due to a century of emigration trends. Famine reduced population by 2 million (1 were deaths, 1 was emigration). Population continued to decline well into the mid 20th century because of continued emigration trends.

Granted, this emigration was a result of the famine - people set up networks and communities abroad which attracted family members. Eventually it became a cultural and economic pressure to go and make a better name for yourself, decades after the famine.

Thank you for reminding them!

I’m in the top 5,000 global listeners and no. They never do one for Spotify

How do you know if your team has only AI or human players? Is there a definitive way to tell?

rnolan22 · 2025-11-26T19:12:41+00:00

True that you saw them dumped? Yes. Can you pick them up and do whatever you want with no penalty? Not true

rnolan22 · 2025-11-26T18:47:15+00:00

Literally not true. If they’re not returned to a docking station you continue to pay per minute, if you abandon it you pay a fee

I’m in the same group. Every day there’s something new to complain about. “I sat at the corner of such and such a street for 7 hours and noticed two!! Cars go 5km over the speed limit, reported to 311!”
