There is a population of Ireland is around 5.3 million. More than 6 million people have immigrated to the U.S. from there. Factor in kids, grandkids and such… It makes sense that there would be a number of people claiming Irish heritage. Also the number of people who find an Irish accent attractive is non-zero.
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 1 day ago:
Yeah I’ve never had issues with spicy foods causing anything but mouth feels and I’ve tried sauces like the last dab (not often but I tried their nugget w/ 3 sauces they had in the freezer section)
I get heart burn more from sugary shit it seems.

Yeah, using OP’s picture it cut like this, so it was likely a glass cup or bottle that someone has cracked or just how my foot managed to bend when stepping. I just walked back, poor rubbing alcohol on it, put super glue in it and kept drinking. What else are you supposed to do in college 🤷
- Comment on Protip: 1 day ago:
No shirt, No shoes, No Rump Shaker Coverings, No Service. I assume it just sounded better. Skirts, dresses, kilts, pants, shorts.
Quick search found this: “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” was a response by businesses in the 1960s and 1970s to keep long-haired hippies out of stores and restaurants. There are no federal or state laws to this effect. However, there are laws that allow businesses to make their own regulations. This phrase has become an accepted norm

One drunken night 15 years ago I remember walking barefoot into a gas station to get cigarettes and the guy behind me told me my foot was bleeding. I found out I stepped on a broken piece of glass and left a blood footprint trail for about a quarter mile. It was on the ball of my foot, so it was the ball and first three toes in blood all the way down the sidewalk back towards the house party I had walked from.
My friend told me he walked that way the next day he was really impressed at how straight of a line it was in if I was drunk enough to not notice and bleed enough to feel it. Not sure I was supposed to take pride in that.

Illegal I haven’t seen. No Shirts, No Shoes, No Service I have seen all over though. Often times near beaches. Many gas stations and restaurants have them as well. Though I don’t see them as often

Ask 20 people on the street who advocated for for free press to be added to the constitution. I’d take a guess that maybe 2 of them will get it right, maybe. The other 18 will say either the founding fathers, the states being asked to join, or they don’t know.
It isnt a religion or people would know that Moses did A, Jesus did B, etc. It’s just a lack of knowing or remembering details so people just say “founding fathers” as a blanket term to cover the legislatures of the time.
That doesn’t mean people don’t believe in freedom of the press, they just believe it was wise of James Madison to ensure it was included in the first amendment. Also I’m sure others can argue he wasn’t the only one advocating for it, so a blanket plural works for many.
I understand how it will come across as “we’ve always done it that way” which in Judicial branch they call precedent. Should precedent always hold, not at all. For the most part though, we’ve only had to stray from the core of that writing 17 times since the “completed” constitution was ratified. (Because the first 10 were in the Bill of Rights which were required by the States to ratify it)
- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 1 week ago:
My initial thought was that the sugar content in watermelon would be to low to acquire any watermelon taste when made into a wine without an artificial flavoring added, apparently watermelon has more sugar that I thought. (More than peaches apparently, never would have guessed that). Twice that of strawberries…
Usually you try to aim for about 18g of sugar in 100 grams of product for the fermentation. Which I think people used that just because that’s what grapes hover around and they ferment very well without additives.

- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 2 weeks ago:
If you ever end up watching Andor, they explain more of how the empire mines entire planets to collapse acquiring minerals they need, destabilizes galactic views of planets to ensure resistance would be minimalized. It also goes into how the weakness in the DeathStar was created and how some engineers were essentially enslaved/forced into to building it. Believe they gun down most of the lead engineers in Rogue One.
- Comment on If it ain’t broke… 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, for a magazine or something to pay for a photo they would want it to to be something people haven’t seen before. I know Radcliffe did a talk about wearing the same clothes (jacket really) when leaving movie sets every day so the locations, person, and clothing all matches for say 6 months. Value of the photos drop, less likely to have more paparazzi hounding you daily.

I seem to remember liking Resistance: Fall of Man, but it isn’t something you’ll play over and over. But the couch co-op story mode was fun to play with my partner back in 2007 or so.

Why not throw in 5 for ease of life. Washer died, can carry it to the curb with ease and not have to ever bother someone else. I realize you can just hire people but I feel like super strength is ultimately just a lazy perk, and damn I’m lazy. Back hurts from playing with your kids, psh, they way about the same as a penny, wouldnt even need to think about it.

I wonder if that has to do with them trying to integrate access for zero client type setups. If 20 people are remoted into a VM setup but they all are coming from the same rack, the IP/Hostname would be the same in theory, so if you try to RDP to it, the protocol doesn’t work properly, it would want to kick all the other users off their instances to let them sign in. Been a bit since I’ve had tonl manage virtual instances though, so maybe I’m forgetting something.

Am I reading that wrong or is it just saying the Windows Store version (which was terrible) is going away. It tells you to use the normal remote desktop function that has existed in Windows until they put that new stupidly named app in the Store.
So if you run rdp.exe it should function as normal. The mstsc.exe was just a stupid interface saved in your user profile.
People should just be able to create their RDP shortcuts as normal and go on with their day by simply ignoring the Microsoft store like most enterprise users have been trying to do all along.
Though I could be wrong, I don’t have a windows computer around me to try it on at the moment. I moved my machines at home to different flavors of Linux when I didn’t want to figure out comparability work around for 11

As a straight male I was like huh, bet they don’t have to worry about accidently gagging someone. Then I thought, hmm I bet I could do that without it gagging me, then I said… Hm, maybe I should question if I shouldve jumped straight to saying straight male.
It’s like they always say when you give birthday blowjobs, it isn’t gay if it’s their birthday.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 4 weeks ago:
Honestly I don’t know what Id ever use them for. A guy set up a corn field/deer hunting spot on a spot behind my partners property with motion cameras and such. He had a drone that either he rigged up or bought with an IR camera on it. Dude would fly over the area and check how many deer and where they were before going hunting I guess. It’s not even “fair.”. You can spot the deer easily and they have no idea you were ever there. I remember seeing several photos/videos where he was tracking them. At a certain point you have to feel like it’s just overkill. Although if he was using as much of the meat as he could I guess it’s still better than what we do to cows and such

I regret that I didn’t end up checking out a pair when I was working a contract for L3Harris. They had rooms set up throughout the Tempe location where they tested them on site. The clean rooms for creating them were all in site too. But those things were expensive from what I saw. Tried to look what their price range was online now and they are near 50k. tnvc.com/shop/l3harris-gpnvg-ruggedized-bridge/?s…

I think it’s all about perspective. Say the Patty Cake one. A 30 year old doesn’t seem “cool” doing it according to the chart. But a 30 year old who sits down with a 5 year old and does it… That kid thinks they are pretty cool.

- Comment on Farming beans be like 4 weeks ago:
That would be one way. Depends on how accurate you need. Could also wrap a piece of paper around your bean can, cut it to that length. Now you can mark 360 equal distant marks down the side, and rewrap around your bean can and trace it onto whatever object you want to make your protractor. But f that, 360 marks is to many, so fold the paper in 4, ignore the 3 sides and just do one, making just 90 degrees and you can duplicate it if you need after by rotating the can… then say f that and realize 5 degree marks are more than enough, so make 18 marks, or 9 marks if 10 degrees is accurate enough for your estimates.
There are a number of ways to do it, but being that beans are in the meme, bean can method is what I’d run with for fun
- Comment on Farming beans be like 5 weeks ago:
I watched the new episode of “The Last of Us” yesterday, and they were praising one of the characters for being so smart and triangulating locations supposedly. She said she could do it faster if she had a protractor and all I could think was why wouldn’t she just make one if she actually needed it. She’s sitting there with paper and a pen.

- Comment on Anyone? 5 weeks ago:
How exactly does the “root” work. I was wheeling a ticket podium with other items in my hands back in 2006, the podium slipped and landed on my left big toe. When I took my shoe/sock off I found the back part of my toe nail was square (and had been popped up through the skin like the hood of a Corvette. I dumbly(?) tore the rest of it off and proceeded to be stupid and put my sock back on and finished my shift. Somehow the nail grew back but the part that had tissue damage where I tore it off in the front I guess never healed right and so the nail would have to grow ‘over’ the wound and would be really thick there. If the squared off back part isn’t the root, what is?
