It's a piss up when the death is somewhat expected or of "natural order". The very elderly, etc. Wakes for young people are very very different and difficult as are wakes for peopl…

"And wakes are generally unknown in Ireland outside of relatively isolated rural areas." From where do you get that mad notion? That's not correct at all. Living in Dublin with fri…

Ireland

Seven proxies perhaps?

As someone looking to replace my 2013 13" MBP this is almost exactly what I want. Enough has already been written about the new MBPs and why many of us will no longer consider them…

That's pretty interesting! I see that train (or one very much like it) around Connolly station in Dublin when I'm commuting in and out of work.

So trying to classify Ireland a tax haven isn't correct. It might be popular amongst certain political classes and media in the US to do so but it doesn't stack up. Ireland has a f…

Which tax haven(s) are you referring to there?

Now now scandox, not sure if you're trolling with this one? I don't for one second think "the green jersey" was a factor in their thinking at all.

Ireland can definitely capitalise on this calamity and there is no doubting how good the IDA are at what they do. What could make it a major success story is if the Dept of Finance…

Follow baseless political dogma much?

I'm getting down voted for giving my point of view and trying to be cordial at the same time but cest la vie. I agree there is progress to be made on fossil power cars but it's sti…

I understand the skeptical point of view and its fair enough, we'll all just have to wait and see how this all plays out. I'm more optimistic bearing in mind that nine years ago th…

Yeah I understand what you mean and I think you're right. 1000 charge points is unacceptable but do we really need that? Given the current generation Tesla can already self navigat…

I don't really agree I'm sorry to say. It kinda makes assumptions about charge rates, charge locations (home, work, car parks) or even the means by which cars are "refilled". https…

I know what you're getting at but I don't think the above comparison is entirely fair. Those houses don't have petrol pumps outside them either

I appreciate the reply and that what you mention is undoubtedly a major turnoff for many people depending on attitude to work/life balance and family, etc. I guess I'd wonder wheth…

Does SpaceX need to "poach" people. I'd have assumed people were lined up around the corner to work for them?

I agree, I think the ISS is an utterly amazing achievement. In so many ways I think it really is a prime candidate for humanities greatest achievement so far. In many ways you make…

Personally I think it's in our fundamental nature to want to explore things in person. I'm never satisfied with pictures of beautiful beaches or landscapes. I have a need to experi…

Sadly none of these guys are getting any younger. The youngest person from the Apollo missions is now 80 years old. Humanity really needs to get a move on if we're to avoid the sce…

Same as. 3x MagSafe connectors in 10 years (3 laptops). All still working perfectly and in good condition despite daily use.

Easily breakable pins? I honestly can't imagine what I'd have to transport an adapted beside to break those pins. Any hints?
