She's right.
Well done to all involved! About the CPR training, any advice on places to go?
Have you thought about giving yourself a reward? Calculate how much you were spending and figure out what size loan that amount of money could repay over, say, three years. Find the reward, buy that thing and commit with yourself to sell it if you cave in. It worked for me, I bought a great "toy".

First one today. It's an 'easy going woman'. Come on, @bsky.app we need to tackle this.
Every day I get at least one new suspicious "young female" follower that has zero posts, a handful of followers and reposts that lack any significance. Obviously bots. I block them all. I wonder what happens as they infiltrate all over the place. Is there a greater plan to undermine @bsky.app?
This was quite an informative exchange, thanks for your time.
I mean, about the small market remark that we're exporting the extremely high costs of peak demand and supply handling.
The advantages of being a small market, I guess. Thanks for the reply. About the imported energy, does that introduce nuclear generated to the mix?
I'm trying to understand how the grid handled the negative delta between demand and supply before 8am.
What are we looking at?
The UN would eventually fail, collapse. It is very unsettling to think of the ramifications.
I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for that driver. She could have killed several people as easily as she left the road that "went into nowhere"
The UN has to operate in a country that can protect its fundamental values. That should be non-negotiable.
Palestinian officials blocked by US from going to the UN... while a genocide is happening. This is fucked up beyond belief. share.google/1YljvVAcRmid...
Saturdays are my bike fixing days. I have a shift at @thebikehub.ie's workshop in Dun Laoghaire. It's my way to stay in touch with the locals and to keep it fresh about why I'm doing this job. I can't think of many jobs that would be more rewarding.
Ah, missed the r... Good one
We wish
I wonder what that economic indicator would be called, the "infant demand leakage coeficient"? "The "minor collateral damage ratio"? Seriously though, zero child homelessness has to become a pre req for any country to be labelled a developed nation
This is by design, isn't it? I can't remember the last time there was a drop reported, numbers only go up and up, wtf?!?
It would be great if we could all agree about this statement.
Want to make the day of a young child out for a cycle? Tell them they have a nice bike. Try it out. You might also be increasing the likelihood of them growing up enjoying their rides.
Fantástico. Ideias claras, objetivos definidos, resultados do nÃvel mais alto possÃvel. Como é que alguém pode discordar com isso.
Two years since ULEZ expanded London-wide, I’m proud the evidence has shown it’s been even more effective than expected in helping to improve the health of Londoners, support children's lung growth and ultimately save lives. See how air quality has improved near you:
This is beautiful

I mean, the guy was elected a second time. The control over public opinion might be sufficient to shut off democracy and get away with it. It can still get much worse.
Sometimes things break and you can see how they can be fixed. This time, I'm not so sure.
I'll get my popcorn (while I bet that the worst ones are probably exclusively conducted by men, their ability to surprise is entertainingly shocking. Is this the scientific version of incels?)
This has to be a winner, it couldn't get worse than that, could it?
That's a great bunch this week.
They just operate on a different frequency
Every professional organisation must have a Disaster Recovery Plan in place that includes detailed instructions that explain how to continue operating in the case of IT systems (and power) going down. Don't have it? Get it done fast!
Ransomware attack shuts down the systems of several state agencies in Nevada. I'm sure that Irish and local agencies have a plan in place for when it happens here, right? share.google/lN36ABVvdkBI...
FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...
For what that headline *wants to suggest*, they would need the % of fatal crashes that are *caused* by drivers under 30. That's a very different dataset - and almost certainly not available.
100% of under 30s are road users. They are killed walking, cycling, sitting in back seats. They are actually more at risk than others more likely to be drivers.
37.4% of the Irish population (2,010k out of 5,374k)) is under 30, this headline is not news unless they are suggesting that it is a safe cohort.
Give me those anytime before cars parked on the footpath.
I love how drivers complain about how ugly these are, without acknowledging that these are a side effect of drivers' ugly manners.
If you need a camera to see what's directly in front of your car, your car is too fucking big.
I suspect that you didn't let him off very easily and gave him a chance to rethink his approach.

Where?
2025 trying to catch up with 2024. This can't be normalised. Motor traffic needs to be taken more seriously by everybody, in particular our courts and "official enforcement entities"
Without its disciplinarian approach, mainstream education has no hope of preparing the young for.... jobs that won't exist in the future.
It gets more complicated in cases where AI uses one methodology and is unable to adapt to something completely new. e.g. breast cancer screening. Yes, AI can do it better, but if the workers are gone, how does tech evolve in the absence of human inspiration? Will AI be progressive or conservative? /
However, there's one issue, similar to the US move for globalisation in the 80s and 90s: once you replace the knowledge based workers, the skills are lost and it can be really hard to restore. 2/
There a point frequently missed in discussions about AI or self-driving cars: they don't need to be perfect, just better than humans. Errors will occur and different to the current ones, but if there's a case based on saved lives, money or health outcomes, it will be hard to stop it. 1/
J.J. Cale - Naturally (1972). A very fine album that I only discovered recently.
The agita..... er, mainstream media have found the perfect formula to manipulate the mind of many. They can and do use it whenever needed, selling any "new truth" they come up with. I have no idea how this can be fought, but it needs to be tackled. Tackling BS is much harder than creating it.

If the main act is the best of the night, why are they always given much better sound? I never got that. The public certainly doesn't benefit from that.
It's come to this.
I liked it like that, keeping the pecking order clear.
He's posting alright, @citizenw0lf.bsky.social
What a great photo!
I'm hearing increasing numbers of similar reports. Look at the comments below, this can destroy families.
So rare, but so true

Considering what I've seen of Irish politics since I got here in the 90s, I suspect Ireland would still be in broadly the same place socially and economically if it wasn't for EU influence and membership side effects. Ireland by itself doesn't do progress very easily. Am I being unfair?
Interesting. I wonder medication could be a/the differing factor.
PFAS in the ingredients. I wouldn't go smelling that much.
And there's "when one is used to privilege, fairness feels like oppression".
Routine + ADHD = induced stress
I agree, it works well I saw a bit of it in France also. What I don't get is the name of the colour, buff?!? That's not a colour name.
When AGI and quantum computing meet, it will be a fun couple of weeks.

Oasis is now playing "don't look back in anger". I'm 12 km away from the concert.
I need a translation of every word!
The answer to that might be that voters severely penalised the few politicians that had the courage to do anything.
New toy day! Months waiting for it to hit the shops. I hope the expectation is justified #wiimampultra
Please reduce your use of plastic as much as possible. The first picture in this article is shocking. The article is sobering. I have switched to using refillable containers and paper or glass packaged products for several products. #plastic #pollution www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nice one. In my case, the panniers were almost a full year out of warranty. I didn't expect a replacement to be offered. These guys got a customer for life now.
I hope you patented that, it's not a bad idea.
Almost six years ago I bought a set of @vaude.bsky.social panniers. During my last trip they had an issue that couldn't be fixed. Vaude chose to replace them and they just arrived. This is world class customer service that you don't even realise when buying it.
I've been considering another bike trip, this time heading west from Bilbao, sometime late in August. Maybe not...
If nothing is done about chemicals, plastics, PFAS, pollution, we're screwed. If something is done, the 'lefties' and the environmentalists will suffer at future elections, even if they are not involved. #stupiditysucks share.google/D3V8188Yh9QS...
#carbrain is real
Poor form, @news.rte.ie didn't just forget the driver on the headline, but also the car. This is intentional and it matters.
Ive got more than 20 years of commute biking under my belt. Kcmo, pdx and chicago. I refused to ride a bike in dublin. Most terrifying city ive ever been 🫡
The above is the only reference to roads or traffic in the 2022-24 strategy doc. Now compare that statement to the 2019-21 strategy document. The point is that they just stopped caring at the very top.
"You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of science enthusiasts... You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become incurious. Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade."
For me, the alarm bells went off reading the 2022-24 AGS strategy document. It read like all they intended to do was distribute more RSA hi-viz tops.
It could be said that one has principles and the other principals. Thus priced accordingly.

There's a "small" chunk of massive funds allocated to pie in the sky business. They expect that 95% or so of the projects they fund will fail, but the 5% or so that succeed will make the total worth it. Not intuitive, but the maths seem to add up.
As if voting had consequences, eh?
