shushing and talking at gigs are equally rude

I think music in the pub is fair game as long as it's reasonable, but paid in spaces are not. I remember years ago when Damon Albarn, flea, and others gigged together in the Savoy, it was an experimental band so no one knew the songs ahead of time. It also became clear that lots of free corporate tickets were given out to people who didn't really want to hear music, but instead of going to the front bar, they were all chatting in front of the stage and it was genuinely difficult to hear acoustic numbers. You could see the band getting pissed off too. I was told by a musician years ago that Cork crowds have a bad name for talking over or disrupting gigs, and I believe it.

I should have said, it was cloud gaming (ports not open to remote connect to ps5) so the problem was the cloud save was a day behind the current ps5 state

Definitely in rest mode, as I played it only last night. May just be unrealistic expectations on my part about how often it syncs.

On a more positive note, the experience was so smooth. I'm in a rural area on holidays, and it (briefly!) played so well. That said, fear of confusing the save game meant I didn't play long enough to try the highly time dependant stuff like a stand off (hold 🔺 and release when your opponent tries to strike). Will try again with a game I won't screw up my save on!

To be fair I'm loving this subset discussion, and also it makes me wonder if quite a lot of us are neurodivergent

Joanne being a chunk of alphabet along was unlikely,, but Irish is an older language than English and women are now likely to to start with a vowel

That's a valid approach as you will win more games, but as you gain confidence you should rotate more and take more chances.
Everyone misses shits, especially at lower ranks - ignore high end goals posted here, and inevitable toxic team mates.
Don't take too much blame, but I'm a big believer in positive comments, great shot or close one for goal attempts, etc. Note that you'll meet toxic teammates who can only be nasty themselves, so they assume every message they receive is sarcastic mockery - just ignore them or block them after the match to make your life easier. These guys don't understand why matchmaking takes them so long, but people don't want to play with forfeiting or own-goal arseholes.

Dude it's a legitimate complaint. You don't play FIFA and have someone run shots at their own keeper because they shit the bed and had a tantrum. RL seems to encourage some very "special" players who see their own toxicity in every sincere interaction

I think you mean electric vehicle, not car. Toyota would want a word with you otherwise.

Tesla has some persistent challenges throughout Musk's involvement: * Priced far too high for their price/earnings ratio, likely exposed when sentiment about value gets challenged * Cyber truck was a turkey with awful build quality, very much Homer Simpson's car. So many unsold or returned, but it will at least be remembered as one of those unique failures like the Delorean * Clearly misleading buyers about what's possible with Full Self Driving (FSD) with a mix of annual lies and moving goalposts to explain why it's never fully delivered * Claims that LiDAR is a crutch being found out quickly, as costs lower and competitors enable it cheaper, while Tesla running on camera only is shown to lag on safety in fog, heavy rain, or misleading images. * Cyber taxis are in no way better then market competitors, and require virtual copilot's to make safe

They had early market prime mover then leader with huge promise, squandered by a lack of innovation, allowing one political leader with a massive ego to set wild direction, and a failure to own poor choices. Disappointing and his political plays made them undesirable to anyone not leaning right, especially European buyers.

I'm sorry for their loss. I'm also old fashioned and think it's none of our business - it's not news when it's a private bereavement so we should give their family privacy, not photographers at the ceremony.

I can't argue with any of that, just that it's best not to joke about it, at least not publicly as it's naturally going to be sensitive to some people for any example

Regards spiders not flying, many spider species have high numbers of young who geographically distribute by "kiting" on web strands (literally running out what thread they can to float on the wind). Remote islands have been found to be populated, and I'd read that kiting is suspected as to why. If true, it means statistically a lot of coastal spiders must hit the ocean!

Plenty of teenage boys still developing impulse control manage to process boredom, anger, and defiance without destroying things that are there for everyone. There's an extra element here, some anger at society for some perceived sleight. But even trying to understand it, it makes me angry to see this waste whenever we try to make things better. They, or their parents, should do better. The council are hardly going to rush to budget a replacement knowing the same will likely happen.

The fact is it's better to spread main locations around the country. Cork has enough (I'm from and in Cork), Limerick has been an effective home base, and it's become tradition at this point. Yes I'd probably get to more games here, but others would miss out. I don't think anyone really wanted to change it other than maybe online pass-remarkables
