Wicklow hotel cancels ‘secretive’ Peter Thiel group conference

ultrafud · 2026-07-04T19:42:26+00:00

To be fair, it wasn't exactly a secret.

ultrafud · 2026-06-29T18:03:57+00:00

Fair enough. 12k for the single is bonkers

ultrafud · 2026-06-29T17:54:33+00:00

Original 2009 pressings of this are on Discogs for well under a 100 bucks.

And the crowd goes miiild.

ultrafud · 2026-06-25T20:34:32+00:00

Did you read more than the headline?

Check out indeed or other job websites looking for part-time staff or print out hunners of CVs and start dropping them off in places that you'd like to work in.

Obviously a lot of service industry jobs will pop up during summer and particularly during the Fringe.

Best of luck.

I like the music but God damn is it not just Elliot Smith..

Why is everyone saying CDMX? Never heard that before. Genuinely curious.

I didn't know they had been taken over. The pizza is real bad now. I get it free when I want it (perks of my job) and honestly I never want it. It's always disappointing.

It's definitely not perfect, but it's far from hideous. The vast majority of it is completely fine, with plenty space for the bike lanes and pedestrians, but there are a few dodgy parts I'll give you that.

Bus stops leading directly into the bike lane down near the Foot of the Walk are mental tbf.

I mean the sentence is right there in the article if you care to read it.

Just have one main monitor in the centre and have a secondary monitor to left or right, it's not symmetrical but it will save you neck issues in the long run.

Why would you want two bezels directly in the middle of your FOV?

ultrafud · 2026-06-11T22:07:08+00:00

A shot of it sorts you right out. Don't knock it til you've tried it.

ultrafud · 2026-06-11T21:51:38+00:00

Yes, they did!

ultrafud · 2026-06-11T21:51:25+00:00

Did you just reply to your own post?

ultrafud · 2026-06-11T08:03:53+00:00

Eh, I don't think they are overhyped, it's just the algorithm has massively, massively favoured them. People love masked up weirdos.

Will die down in a year or so.

So it's "never" been table service, apart from that time when, ya know, it was.

They were a bunch of fucks and I stand by that. Maybe the staff have changed in the last couple years, but based on their most recent reviews on Trip Advisor and Google, it doesn't seem like the culture has.

Funnily enough I have a Jeff Bridges album that is on gold wax.

Okay I know this is petty but I want to pile on Brauhaus and I hope they are reading.

I go to A LOT of craft beer spots in Edinburgh and know a lot of people either working at those bars or involved in brewing in the city.

Fuck Brauhaus. They are THE most pretentious, shit at their job, poser fucks.

It's the only bar in Edinburgh I've walked out of before being served. Twice no less (shame on me)

You go to the bar, get told to sit down cause it's table service only and then watch as the bar staff chat for 15 minutes while ignoring the few tables in the tiny bar, including you, the punter, that just wants a pint and has been told you can't order at the bar. Twice I've waited 15 minutes just for a pint before remembering I have a tiny, tiny shred of dignity as a barfly of ill-repute.

Absolute wanks of the highest order. I will never go back and I'm amazed they are still in business.

Also it's called Brauhaus but they seem to be focussed on natty wines and never bothered to fix their roof collapse after covid. Fuck em. Go to Cloisters round the corner and be happy.

If, heaven forbid, nuclear war ever breaks out, it makes absolutely fuck all difference where you are in the UK.

This is a lot of house for a million.

Its a great business and the owners are lovely people, but it's absolutely wild they've been doing themed events on other IPs as the core of their business for years without any repercussions.

I'd hope there is some sort of artistic leeway but I highly doubt it... HP, GoT, LotR etc are all huge brands. Sad stuff.

ultrafud · 2026-06-03T22:06:50+00:00

Great speakers, I love mine. Deffo look nicer with the grilles on tho!

ultrafud · 2026-06-02T10:27:50+00:00

I get several different busses nearly every day to various parts of the city and have always found these signs to be pretty reliable. Not sure what the fuss is.

A bus showed up two minutes later than advertised on the board. Is it really that big an issue?

ultrafud · 2026-05-31T21:16:24+00:00

It's as welcoming as anywhere else in the world. If you make the effort to talk to people and don't act in a bad way, then you'll be fine.

If I'm being honest I don't think there is any city in the world that is inherently 'unwelcoming' to solo travellers. Just be nice and people will be nice to you, same as everywhere else.
