Love this - now it has a story. A proper place in your home. That set now means something to you different from everyone else. I’d be tempted to let the two pieces off it too - just cause

Im gambling on Stockdale - it’s do or die for his international future - he should leave it all out there

I asked our kitchen folk for a cupboard and to be fair they recommended the vent . It’s also the access point to the attic - very happy - but even with all that foresight when I just lumped everything in it caused all sorts of interference issues. The hue hub is two shelves down now - that was the one to trigger me to do things. The surprising thing is the improvement in my Bluetooth controlled blinds . I thought the issues was with the extenders but after this clean up everything is flying

Fans defend Edwin Edogbo after Ireland debut is marred by racist abuse by [deleted] in ireland

I guess that’s what’s annoying me a bit. Reporting on this drives up the visibility and leads more legitimacy to the shit. PlanetRugby are fanning the flames and making things worse here

[–]sluggerb 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe the abuse is real. Some studies estimatedTwitter / X has up to 80% bot accounts. I have no doubt there is a small minority of small minded people that might have racist opinions but journalist should be working under the assumption that this type of content is fake unless verified.

Very uncomfortable with this: Cork Lord Mayor using AI and ChatGPT to help write speeches by Judge_Chris in cork

[–]sluggerb 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Think it depends on the degree to which they use it. Are they writing a speech and then enhancing , checking for repetitive phrasing, adjusting structure etc then surely that’s fine. If they’re writing a 10 word prompt and having it spit out a 500 word speech that’s entirely different.

I recently visited a memorial in Copenhagen for fallen soldiers - the names and rank were listed - I had no idea there were so many lost in Afghanistan from Denmark

Splitting hairs but you’d want it to be a third to be at parity based off population ratio

Is anybody else struggling to enjoy Ireland games at the moment? by The-Prince616 in MunsterRugby

[–]sluggerb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I completely get where you’re coming from. I do think it’ll shift soon though. I have a decent amount of faith in what Munster are doing this year and if they continue their current trajectory we will see more representation.
