If you don’t mind me asking, are you from a part of the world where brown sauce is a thing?
I’m laughing here.
- Comment on Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award 3 days ago:
Wildly late but your comment did cause me to rewatch Intermission. What a great flick. The opening scene had stuck with me from before because it’s so well done but the brown sauce bit was amazing and overall it’s such a fun watch.
- Comment on Looking for 4K bluray recommendations 3 days ago:
Thanks. That’s solid advice. I did hear that about True Lies but mostly forgot about it as I didn’t have a player at the time and it wouldn’t be very high on my rewatch list.
I did find Aliens superb but it was my first run at 4k Blu-ray and I believe some folks weren’t super happy with it but not at the True Lies level.

Oh that’s a great one.

This I’m really considering. Thanks for the recommendation.
- Comment on Looking for 4K bluray recommendations 4 days ago:
Thanks! And congrats to you too. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the deals?
I’m in Ireland and haven’t seen much beyond Amazon yet and I feel like Bezos has enough money so I’d like to buy elsewhere, wallet allowing. :)
Browsing today I did see that they have a 3 for 40 pounds (just under 50 USD) deal on quite a few which is tempting.

My dad used to say that all you really need when traveling is your passport, tickets and cash and that’s true enough IMO.
It’s brave though. At a minimum I always take clean t-shirt, undies and socks. It has paid off more than once.

- Comment on do you combine stair climbing with running when working out? 2 months ago:
It’s true that it all comes down to the deficit but it’s easier to create a calorie deficit when you include exercise. When “making weight” in the run up to fights I used to meticulously calorie count and aimed for a 1000 calorie a day hole.
When you’re burning 3500 calories, eating 2500 doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all (except towards the end where your fat levels get very low and your body is just constantly telling you you’re hungry).
But yeah, it’s all just numbers in the end.
- Comment on The return of Trump means Britain must rethink its defence strategy – and role in the world 2 months ago:
Ireland did it in 2005. I don’t remember the cost being an issue at the time. I mean obviously it cost some non trivial amount but I don’t recall any Hullabaloo about it. Wikipedia page doesn’t mention the cost.
- Comment on I hate that that happens 2 months ago:
True enough but I feel like English has more quirks than other languages though I acknowledge that may be bias.
I used to have near fluent Irish way back when and I don’t recall any shenanigans like this (again I acknowledge I may not have been presented with them). I feel like most other languages have a more clearly defined set of pronunciation rules too.
Irish looks horrific (Siobhán is shiv-awn for example) but very very closely follows pronunciation rules so that pronunciation would be no surprise to a native reading it for the first time. English sure as fuck does not follow rules like that.
Near. Neat. Book. Boot. Etc.
(Some small subset of Irish folks do say “boo-k” though)
- Comment on I hate that that happens 2 months ago:
Perhaps. Regardless it’s outlandish abuse of the tongue IMO and definitely would benefit from the comma because nobody’s going to just bang out 4 had’s in a row in speech without a pause without a justifiable slap across the chops and possibly a challenge to a duel.
“But your honour, he said ‘had’ four times in the trot without pause”
“Case dismissed”

You’re welcome. :) Took me a minute tbh. Not sure if the wine I’ve had helped or hindered. It’s 2:30am here.
- Comment on I hate that that happens 2 months ago:
It needs a comma.
All the good faith I had had, had had no effect.
Essentially “all the food faith I previously had, didn’t have any effect”.
Good God English is an awful language.

I really enjoyed it but fuck me the callbacks really took away from it. Like it’s a decent movie, just stand on your own. We’ve all seen Aliens.

Do you mind me asking where you saw that? I’ve a heap of shorts in my watchlist but can never find any of them anywhere.

Coraline with my daughter. Killing them softly by myself. I had seen it before but the details had been lost to time. Pretty decent flick.

Our company paid a prominent open source driver writer for prioritisation of some work more than once. All the code was GPL.
