If the metro is ever built, then Dublin will be like Copenhagen: acuity that built an electrified RER like system* for a long time until finally building an automated metro

*Although the dart is not a very good rer like system

Ireland is an amazingly governed country.

Oh hmm they may have actually released some funds. We'll see I guess

It is planned but uh, kind of indefinite hold for budget issues. It's a mess

Ireland. The DART is not great but it's in upgraded old mainline rail, electrified after the oil crisis. Dublin has never built a metro, just some streetcars since then

In some national healthcare systems, doctors are very right wing for this reason. South Korea is like this and I think Taiwan?

But marine birds? Cool. They want to live everywhere

I did not know that the %age of Chinese workers in the informal sector is increasing. Surprising to me!

Wiki has an uncited "further reading" with a game the Buddha *would* play, so I guess, uh, seek the middle way by playing Kabbadi

Really interesting TRPG setting from the era when TSR was publishing anything. Sort of hard to play is my memory? Needs a long series of rules for running a realm, long timespan. Sort of like PENDRAGON or ARS MAGICA.

The more I think about this the less likely it seems but we can dream I suppose.

Or FL needs to get really really bad fast
oneshoup.bsky.social
You can imagine a scenario where more CA building and FL doing some of the very bad tax policy + immigration shifts leaves to CA and FL having roughly equal pop growth in 2030. Maybe a ~30% chance

it would be funny if SB79/City of Yes meant that NY and Cali got more EVs by next census

These kinds of dense, defensible, mutually-supporting fortifications are illegal to build in most American cities

Oh yes I always get that bit confused. Voltaire wouldn't meet Euler until the 1760s I think. Ah well, I confused my Lutheran German mathematicians again.

18th Century Dr. Strangelove: Professor Pangloss (German coded, he's a parody of Euler) announces he has finally finished Leibniz's Universal Calculus and used it to create the ultimate weapon: the perfect artillery table

There's a very dark thought to this about a starving island trying to integrate the north, and a lighter thought that, given the events of 28 DAYS starts in 2002, FF and FG are probably busy discussing house building policy and ignoring the zombies across the water

Also it makes workers beneath them very miserable, so mission accomplished for them

The 28 YEARS LATER text card states that "Mainland Britain" is abandoned, and later we see a map showing Ireland & the UK in the quarantine zone.

From this I can conclude only that Ireland is fine but cut off from the world.

I project them into a big mental excel sheet and run VLOOKUP. It's great, I'm thinking of learning to run ZenSunni RStudio soon
