Like a lot of people who have to deal with Twitter, Facebook as part of their daily work I have increasingly little interest in contributing to social media in my spare time! I practically never browse any social media channels anymore, have zero interest in reading other people's thoughts and musings, complete waste of my time.

I have a shitty HP laptop that I'd be quite happy to chuck in the bin. Buy a better laptop or a desktop? Is there still such things as docking stations? Help plz - don't need massive computing power as it's VDI.

The Romans had a standing army of nearly 500,000. The plebs probably couldn't imagine what they would do the fighting stopped, and population grew. But technology and society advanced, all sorts of service and industrial job emerged.
The industrial revolution probably brought similar fears of automation - because they couldn't imagine how society would look in the 1900's.
The % of people in different working environments changes constantly. I don't see why it should suddenly stop

Originally posted by Opr View PostThis is at the crux of the argument that BP was questioning. If automation leads to high levels of unemployment then how do we cope with that as a society? Another form of distribution is needed at that point through other methods than work. I think Musk talks about having a Tax on automation and the living wage. From the little I have looked into that, it would be a disaster for society as you would further concentration of wealth in areas while providing a baseline living for the majority of society.

Any links? Search seems broken/fail for me!

I’m looking for a plumber in the north kildare area. Nothing terribly urgent (need a few rads switched out and some filter systems removed). Anyone here in that game or can recommend someone?

Fantastic to see the GAA’s enabling and appeasement of Dublin’s financial doping is coming back to hit them in the wallet
Now time for revenue to make their move on the shenanigans around payments to managers under the table etc

Speaking of GAA im surprised I haven't seen more about that new advanced mark rule. Don't think I've ever seen a rule change in any sport more game changing(in literal sense), seems poisonous for free flowing forward play.
If its rolled out for the All Ireland the first team to exploit it properly by putting a pile of Donaghy type forwards in their side will be Dublins biggest threat in last 5 years.Profit before people.

Its gas though that no seems to have anticipated a team using it to pick off easy points from just inside the 20M
But yeah its an absolute game changing rule, haven't seen it live yet but I'd be optimistic about it.Turning millions into thousands

Genuinely think a nippy forward like Gooch Cooper wouldnt have had nearly as good a career if that rule was in place and that cant be a good thing. Anything that benifits physical abnormality over skill is a no in my book.Profit before people.

I quite like the idea of awarding good quality fielding as I think it's such a great skill but at that distance it seems to offer too high a reward as it probably leads to a point >85% of the time which seems excessive.

Seems like the DUP and the Rees-Moggian wing of the Tories have been cast aside.
Backstop stays and all the political energy pivots to the future trading relationship (which, if they do it right, means the backsop never gets used).
Corbyn seems to have emerged from his bunker too."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
