The news coverage here had a bit with a local resident, native Nothern Irish, stood outside the shell of his burned out home he’d lived in for 13 years, losing everything. He’d seen them trying to set fire to the car parked outside, gone out and told them that it would set his house on fire and they didn’t give a shit and just carried on.

It’s got absolutely nothing to do with this stabbing, immigration or anything and is just yet another example of arseholes in both Northern Ireland and Ireland who will use any excuse to go and riot just for the sake of it. If it wasn’t this they’d be coming up with some other bullshit excuse for doing it. They’ve been like that since the IRA ceasefire and troubles ended and they could no longer use sectarianism as an excuse. It’s literally bred into some of them over there and perpetuated from generation to generation.

Exactly that because drives were getting cheaper over time so it saved Samsung money to refund at the going market rate and at worst case it would be just a few dollars more. When they penned that they never envisaged the shitshow we have going on today when the price of storage and RAM has 4x’d or more.

No they’re not in the thick of attempting it now. Putin is in the thick of attempting to rebuild the Soviet Empire and failing miserably now 5 years into his 3 day “special military operation”.

United Kingdom actually. May I suggest you go look at a map of where all the undersea cables go?

It doesn’t need to as Ireland has a defence pact with the United Kingdom. The UK protects both Ireland’s airspace and waters due to how close it is to our own. Due to the size of Ireland it would never be able to field a military large enough to be of any use operating on it’s own.

The mobile phone network I use, Smarty, hasn’t raised it’s prices for at least the 4 years I’ve been with them.

Once again for the stupid…IT IS OPTIONAL. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT ANYTHING IN THERE NOR DOES ANYTHING YOU PUT IN ANY OF THOSE FIELDS HAVE TO BE THE TRUTH.

Funny how they can work that out when it comes to their citizens who are ill needing fast treatment but POTUS and Hegseth are too stupid to work out that’s the same reason they have Ramstein in Germany as part of their NATO deployment.

I mean I don’t know how this wasn’t expected given that the vast majority of products he designed at Apple were rectangles with a glass front and metal/glass back.

The fact that it’s extremely specialised equipment that’s needed to make the chips of which there is a limited supply due to there being basically only one manufacturer of lithography capable of making chips at the nanometer level that is required, and the factories that produce chips are extremely complicated to make. And you can’t just make more machinery to make the chips because they require rare earth materials, China controls most of the global market for rare earth minerals and because of Trump they’re rationing them.

Food is already going to go up in the future even if they opened the Straits today. Crops have sowing and harvesting seasons. Miss the sowing season because of a lack of fertiliser and you’ve no harvest. And those windows for sowing are fixed and known, you can’t just go “oh I’ve got fertiliser now so I can go plant my crops.” If you’re out of the sowing window you can plant the seed but it’s not going to germinate and grow. And for a lot of crops we’re in the middle of that season right now.

Does he not want them to tell them the truth?

It’s got nothing to do with defending Israel. Wind yer neck in. Palestine Action is a proscribed group due to it using violence, damage to property and breaking into military bases to promote and further their political aim, literally text book definition of terrorism.

Remember they’re the ones who broke into a company, threatening the staff with hammers as they smashed up the place and where one of it’s members broke the spine of a female police officer sent to deal with it, hitting her in the back with a sledgehammer as she laid on the floor.

The world has quickly disregarded the fact they only a couple of months ago they noisily and publicly executed 10s of thousands of protesters.

Wasn’t 10,000s if you’re referring to Iran. Maybe stop watching Fox News.
