Spieth is class but getting some amount of luck. Back off the tree onto the fairway, hitting the flag,etc.

Who gave him on here? Had a small interest so hopefully have a sweat on Sunday evening. He can play anyway, regardless of his bit of luck.

Peanut butter

Do you recommend any particular peanut butter (or make your own)? I've mostly been on lidl mcennedy peanut butter for the last couple of years. I did like Kelkins one, though it was out of stock in my local Tesco for a few months, and I just gave up looking for it.

Was walking home with the kid from the creche the other day and she asked if she could watch Minnie Mouse when we got home. I said we didn't have it, so she goes 'well how about we load it down on the computer?'.

Mad the starting point that kids are beginning with.

Is there some sort of useful pre-coding thing that 3-4 year olds can do, to get them ready for a youth filled with joyful coding? Do realise that coding / coderdojo for kids is a gimmick of the highest order, but still quite like the logic it develops.

I was just thinking earlier on has any big leap happened in our lifetime that created as much wonder as man flying,man going into space or walking on the moon? Can't think of too many advances like that in my living memory that people will be looking at 50 years later framed on the wall while they are taking a piss. The i-phone? The first tweet? Pffft

If John Wick doesn't deliver I am giving up cinema

[Guest]

That looks interesting, cheers!




Getting to spend a few hours in front of a telly watching man walk on the moon vs the potential of a tablet is so far from being slightly comparable. The reason walking on the moon was so eventful was because it was one of so few actual events. Now everyday brings mega-events. I think. Well maybe Kurzweil thinks and I'm copying the thoughts of his that I've spent an entire 20 mins reading.

Give me one 'potential of a tablet' that compares with the "we are on the moon, next stop star trek' example please

You are completely missing the scale of impact the convergence of technologies that allow the internet and ubiquitous communication to happen.and this is only the beginning.

Its mad just how little this feeds into modern policy. I'd make a random guess, but probably conservative, that 50% of current jobs won't exist in 20 years. 95% won't exist in 40 years. So over a lot of peoples working lives. But how are you (or I) preparing for the fact that our job almost certainly won't exist before we get to retirement? Chaotic, but interesting times ahead as the exponential of the tech curve kicks in.

Most jobs today are already useless. That they exist at all is a form of control

Promise you'll take better care of it than sam

[Solskjaer]

Its not this thing or that. Which is why its so much more disruptive than a single event of man landing on the moon. Its a hundred / thousand / million small things a day. I'd imagine though the development in robotics is the most visual example.

One of those clone yokes flew over my head in the park yesterday, someone programmed it to curse at people and fly off . I hit it with a rock and got arrested

Better to have people tied up for 40 hours a week(50-60+ for the retards +a small minority of v productive folks) than 20 + time to think

[Strewelpeter]

I'm not saying it's for better or for worse(I expect in the long run better), it just is and its having a bigger, wider and very much more rapid impact than the industrial revolution.

I really recommend people to make their own nut butters, so easy and they are fantastic. It's essentially blended nuts, so satisfying. For buying peanut butter I just look for the one that has the least shite ingredients health wise as they all taste good to me. Not really an expert on them due to that! That's usually from some health shop but I'm not too picky and would get it from tesco/aldi.

[Denny Crane]

I don't think companies are in the business of paying people as an exercise in control. They're currently needed jobs, but you can see from finance - where a huge swathe of traders have been elimated almost overnight due to computer trading - you can be just a year or two from gonzo.

And what a loss too

It's grand once you embrace it, basically all I've ever been paid to do is click buttons for completely unproductive reasons, I'm not sure what my next button clicking career will be but I'm looking forward to finding out.

There should be medical diagnosis bots soon, that'll be neat. Doctors are essentially needless, we all are. When do we get to stop working?

[TheDrunkenOne]

Out of interest in Lough Erne do you need a licence to fish from your boat?. Does the boat also need to check in at the jetty or can anyone with a boat work away?.
Whats Lusty Beg island like do you know?. Id say its the richies mainly that go there?.

You need a licence to fish. Game licence and permit for game fish ( trout / salmon ) Coarse Licence for coarse fish ( Pike, roach, bream, perch etc) I have 2 licences and permits for lower Lough for year to fish 2 rods costing £150. Tackle shops sell day tickets.
Bring your own boat and launch at any of public slipways free.
Lusty Beg for anyone and everyone. Does loads of team work / bonding shite that firms do for their staff as well as weddings. stags. boat users etc. You can access Island on foot from mainland on a short ferry ride free. Its basically a barge pulled along chains.
TBH I prefered it years ago when it was basically a pub and a few shacks with all night drinking lol

[tipp86]

@tipp86 great win in U21 Munster final tonight stopping Cork getting the 5 in a row. Semi final against the Dubs sat week in Tullamore.

Ya it was a nice win. They were missing a good few players so the win was not expected. The Dublin game is a repeat of the minor AI and im sure Dublin will go in as strong favourites.

The underage success really needs to translate into something at Senior level soon.

What are the chances of selling two Aintree tickets before I enter the race course Saturday?

Having a nightmare over on Betfair.

I had two large unmatched bets on the betfair - same market, two win bets on both options.
I wanted to adjust my stake and odds, I couldn't change both together, so I opted to cancel the bets.
Only one of the bets was refunded to my account. At first I thought I was maybe mistaken and I had lost more than I thought recently

But my main wallet now has less in it than the two bets combined. I don't think its possible to use the other wallet for this market.

Anybody ever experience this?

This is still going on 2 or 3 weeks later. Betfair suport are dire. It's like they haven't a clue of anything betfair does

I was finding it fairly heavy going for large parts earlier in the season and nearly shelfed it a couple of times. Psycho Danny showed up in full force in an episode last night and I haven't been able to stop watching since. Last couple will need to wait till tomorrow night. Some of the subtext laden conversations between Danny and the family are incredibly well done.

[Raoul Duke III]

The Fianna Fail implosion is rather spectacular. The rumours of their demise was seemingly merely delayed. Nothing big today, just more small no-hope stuff.

who says there's never any good news?
