Absolutely exhausted. Falling asleep at my desk. Not sure if I'll make it through the rest of the day.
Ryder Young
>Absolutely exhausted
Were you unable to sleep the last few nights? Weren't you in bed earlier on Monday, or did that not help things?
>Not sure if I'll make it through the rest of the day
Could just say you are ill and need to go home? Alternatively coffee?

On a somewhat unrelated note, why is entertainment "news" such cancer.

Am I supposed to know who these people are? Does RTÉexpect me to know about English celebrities?

Benjamin Evans
>Were you unable to sleep the last few nights?
Got about 5 hours last night, slightly more the night before. I was barely able to wake up this morning.
>Could just say you are ill and need to go home?
I need to be here, I've things to do.
>Alternatively coffee?
I don't drink coffee. Might get an energy drink if I get a chance.
Benjamin Stewart
>people online are saying that Trump is going to start WW3
I haven't been following, but thought did come into my head a few minutes ago when I saw the headline "Trump warns Russia to 'get ready' for Syria response" on RTÉ.
As with everything in relation to Trump, an exaggeration I presume.
>slightly more the night before
Didn't you go to bed around midnight because the thread hit the bumplimit? Were you just lying awake for hours?
>I was barely able to wake up this morning
Funnily enough, I was the exact same. The exact opposite of Monday when I had plenty of energy.
>I've things to do
Sorry to hear desu.
>if I get a chance
Sounds like they have you imprisoned, can't even leave to get a drink.

Back to work, best of luck.

Drink all the tea in the office to stay awake. Then sue your employer for not having an adequate tea supply as required by Irish law and live off the money from the case for the rest of your days.

What's with people and cryptos recently?
Did the majority of people just discover it and that's why they are all going crazy?
Did any of you invest in anything?
Camden Campbell

The horrors of life without adblock.
>What's with people and cryptos recently?

Pretty much. That's what the whole bitcoin boom a few months ago was about.
>Did any of you invest in anything?
I'm not that wasteful with my money.
Asher Ortiz
what do you guys think about de Valera?
Jackson Collins
>The horrors of life without adblock.
We haven't really been discovered as a market yet so we generaly only get ads every 20 videos or something,which is acceptable

Is the average person even allowed hold one?
>You get this feelibg often?
Not often but it makes me feel bad enough that I avoid purchasing things on a whim.
Evan Wilson

When I say "hold" I mean replicas,plenty of those around

Well "not goo value", but that's more or less the same thing.

That's quite strange. You'd assume that marketers would have figured out by now that while Luxembourg's market is small in size, it is lucrative per capita. We're a rural backwater by comparison and we get highly tailored internet ads.

Was I right in remembering the island episode was in S1? Or maybe there's an island episode in both seasons? It's been too long.
John Gutierrez
>See how they didn't even name the one we ended up using
Seems like it was filmed before it was decided though.
Eli Campbell
But it was free on Steam over the weekend.
Unironically yes. There might not be much of a difference between the UK and Ireland in terms of taste, but you'd definitely notice it on the continent and further afield.
Chase Barnes
>Was I right in remembering the island episode was in S1?
They were only there for a few minutes, if this was the island episode then it was very light on the island.
Nicholas Robinson
Yes, but isn't it mad how they named options which didn't end up being chosen (and had very little chance of being chosen - eg: M16, FAMAS, Galil)?
It's actually fairly easy to see how the choice was made, and by golly it was a good one.
The only other contenders in my mind were the FNC, the H&K (the reporter mispronounces the name), and the SIG.
Maybe if the gun wasn't literally below every other gun there, the SA80 might have been bought in the old tradition of Br*tish handmedowns, but thank God they didn't.
Andrew Ramirez
Interesting article/video. Thanks user.
Okay, that's not it then.
William Williams
>isn't it mad how they named options which didn't end up being chosen (and had very little chance of being chosen - eg: M16, FAMAS, Galil)?
Not really, I doubt the average Irish person at the time (and possibly even the reporter) had much advanced knowledge of firearms. Going over a bunch of different options from all over Europe makes for better viewing than "They'll probably choose this one". You have to remember it was the news, not a specialist weapons show.

Two birds with one stone desu. We send all the dubs to inhabit a new buffer state between Israel and Palestine. No Palestinian is desperate enough to risk crossing through New Dublin.
Dylan Cooper
>implying Dublin can be fixed
Owen Price
Fine, but it would be cooler to go into detail for the public as to what the Irish army ends up with.
They did choose good stuff, the Mowag and AUG were great buys, really in line with our place in Europe - small but neutral, like Switzerland and Austria. I don't see the point in the Scorpions though. If they wanted a tank they should have gone for a few Leopards or even old Chieftains, if they wanted an FSV (before the concept really became a thing outside of Italy), they should have gotten some MOWAGs with cannons (like Belgium did in 2006), and if they wanted something that could do everything they should have gotten an AMX from France.

That's the dream. Society will have finally found a use for junkies.
Well they could at least try instead of passing attention-seeking and nonsensical motions at every single meeting of Dublin City Council.
>He took the decision to go on a pilgrimage.
A likely story.
Julian Ortiz
>small but neutral, like Switzerland and Austria
We are nothing like those two. Both have far more capable militaries than Ireland does.
>Ireland buying MBTs
A pointless venture, as I've said before.
Owen Russell

What happened?
Dylan Scott
But that's a tradition that almost all Taoisigh have participated in for decades now. It's hardly comparable.
rte.ie
Outstanding reporting restrictions on the trial were lifted.
Nathan Torres
Geopolitically, not militarily.
Though we are nominally rich enough from the EU to have an army of similar level.
Apparently they didn't show a big pile of blood on the bed to the jury.
Nicholas Sanders
>that's a tradition that almost all Taoisigh have participated in for decades now
Visiting Israel/Palestine is a tradition that almost all high-ranking SF members have completed for decades now.
Jonathan Thompson
>It will definitely make Reeling in the Years 2018 at this rate
It's a shoe-in regardless. It was a big news story, ran for weeks and the verdict and subsequent protests secured its place.
Brandon Stewart
You got me there.
Blake Jenkins
>that comment on the "middle-class girls" remark
Am I misinterpreting something or wasn't the point the lawyer made that the girls in the house wouldn't sit still if they heard another girl screaming from upstairs? That politician seems to be thinking the exact opposite was said.
Gabriel Long
Here, there and everywhere.
Xavier King
>That politician seems to be thinking the exact opposite was said.
She thinks it was a slight on working class girls.
Josiah Jackson
Ah, I missed the working class bit.

Nope, definitely a perceived working class slight. It's not explained the best in the RTE article I linked, but I've seen it explained better in other articles released today.

>A levy should be imposed on big tech companies to protect quality journalism and to “take down parasites who should have to pay for our work,” according to veteran journalist Olivia O’Leary.

Eli Anderson

Jayden Brooks
While I agree that some of the demand for special taxes stems from entitlement and resistance to change, they are not always a bad idea. However, despite the fact that I believe the rise of the internet has contributed to a decline in the overall quality of journalism, I don't think taxation is a viable means of rectifying the situation.
Logan Hill
Anyone here actually physically buy papers?
Are journalists not essential to a functioning democracy? Or would you prefer a more authoritarian form of government?
What is your quality newspaper of choice then?
Juan Hernandez
The journalism bit aside, two feelings I have with regards to large tech multinationals are that firstly they don't pay enough tax and secondly they are far too big.
The process of consolidation by large companies isn't something I like the idea of, yet it is becoming more and more common across every industry.
