Not very conducive to a quick retreat, but I'd like to see their response to someone turning up with a lambeg.

You could probably use the instructions with Windows Subsystem for Linux, but it adds an extra layer of complexity.

Also the Irish form is Pádraig which is where the d's come from.

Several years ago it was a popular light hearted protest against US appropriation/stereotyping.

Look up the troubles legacy act.

Also 3 days ago Kemi Badenoch was arguing that soldiers should keep their immunity for Troubles related crimes.

There's an Irish proverb you see on touristy stuff that ends:
'..if you die there's only two things to worry about, if you go to heaven or hell.
If you go to heaven there's nothing to worry about, and if you go to hell you'll be too busy seeing old friends to worry about it, so why worry'.

In school we used to use a pre-installed windows program to chat with each other over the network during lessons. IT eventually realised and tried to stop it by deleting the start menu shortcuts, took me 2 days to realise that we just needed a new shortcut.

We also used proxys regularly for Bebo.

I never got into Halestorm, but I love virtually anything ft. Lzzy Hale and it started with this one.

She's not single, she has a much older partner, also employed by Google, on an even higher salary.

Possibly the book I enjoyed most this year. Also loved the Mage Errant series.

I still get asked this occasionally when people find out I did a psychology degree over 10 years ago (I've never worked in the field).

Ireland had a trial UBI for artists program that they are now going to make permanent, after finding it boosted the economy.

Though I'm guessing that UK private practice is still quite a bit cheaper than the US equivalent going by what I've seen of US medical bills.

Sort of, there are practices that see NHS patients (often oversubscribed), but there's also private practices which usually don't require private health insurance (but may have some kind of payment plan option).

I saw a video recently of him letting someone have a card binder of her choice for free because she was using a cardboard box.

She came back and gave him a plushie as a thank you, and he immediately asked if he could give it to a kid waiting in line instead.
