Ireland could build a new children's hospital every three years for the cost of the hospitality VAT reduction.

We could build a Galway sized luas system every year for the same cost

We'll invest less in the National Grid between now and 2030, than we will in €18 sandwiches in 2026

Obscure Australian film which I think was renamed “The Go Kids” for European release.

It’s about some kids who hear stories of the monster who lives in a flooded mine in the Outback. So they so they do what kids do and get on their bikes to go and see…

I had a go at recommending ‘Horror for kids’. (I don't have kids but I was one once and, while my taste in films was mature in many ways, I'm *still* not great with gore or body horror.)

Horror for kids

Someone asked for suggestions for horror films their kid, aged 9, could watch. This is what I've got.

I put my lactaid in a Pez dispenser, thanks someone on Insta's idea. It makes it fun and I am always excited to take the lactaid so I remember to take it.

this is a good story but it shows that people still fundamentally misunderstand LLMs - there is no "working properly", they're inherently probabilistic models. hallucinations aren't a bug, they're a fundamental part of language models. these aren't fact machines!!!

All four of the main cast of The Good Life got sitcoms of their own after the series finished. Some took longer to arrive than others, but they all got one. Sometimes more. I'd say at least three of them are top of the first division, premier level shows. That's a ridiculously high hit rate.
