I see LL shared an article over on the darkside regarding Israel’s new green badge policy: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/w...e=articleShare

Without getting bogged down in the legality of how something like this could be applied, I’m curious of peoples opinions on it.

On its face I understand the ethics around the greater good but a couple of pieces don’t sit well with me.

If we look at this methodology as a global solution, it is clear that 3rd world countries will be those marginalised under this regime.
Vaccines will be rolled out years quicker in 1st world countries creating further inequality.

The other aspect is the data side which I’m not quite sure about.
There is currently a bill being pushed to allow local authorities to identify the unvaccinated.

It is one thing for governments or private institutions to choose to only allow certain facilities to be available to those green badged but another to make the circumstances of citizens known.

In the Israeli example, clearly Palestinians are not being provided the vaccine at the same rate so not only are their opportunities restricted through no fault of their own but their position is public knowledge.
Perhaps that is not intention but that may arise as a further means of marginalisation.

Just initial thoughts but interested on how others might view it.

I flew to Singapore in February lol. Sure it was just a bad flu.

Sure I had a cruise book in April and was still planning on going by late Feb.

If you like The Warriors (which should be everyone) I watched a documentary about the South Bronx gangs of the late 60s/70s which was enjoyable called Rubble Kings.

thanks for this, really cool little docu. Had the video of warriors as a kid and watched it so many times.

Oh once mighty BBV perhaps you may impart some personal knowledge on shopping during lockdown.

I need to buy new Hiking boots . Any new fancy ones worth investing in plus does anywhere do click and collect or do I have to await delivery. I'd like my new boots ASAP.
I dedicate the purchase to balfejohn whose tip sent me on a bit of a heater

You could skip down to Ted Johnson's in Naas its a farm and hardware store, conveniently situated on the way to Tesco, they carry a god range of hiking boots that you could try on.

No idea of quality but Mrs uses Decathlon for hiking boots for her and kids.

I see what is happeneing here, every time I miss a tip it wins. When I back it they lose. You are all welcome.

I assume DP is missing them too as for a man his size he could stop a runaway train.

I could do a thesis about this

Today I stuck a few quid on this one before I went out, came back and I don't know whether the price shortened and never got matched or I forgot to press something but no bet recorded... FFS!

Bought a €14 Euromillions ticket last night.

€14.

Just checked it there and it's not a winner.

How is that even possible?

The thing I'd like to know after listening to some discussion is whether the cost of IP owned by the Pfizer's and Johnson and Johnson's of the world are actually what is preventing mass production in developing countries or are there more significant blockers like lack of production facilities and enough people qualified to operate them?

Did the same inspired by the Euromillions talk in here. Got an email to say I'd backed a winner.. Logged in to see I'd won €6 to book a cool €8 loss.

Apparently the WTO rules around IP are preventing the production of generic equivalents.

SK have decided to produce everything in-house but not sure if that’s production or IP too

Was actually thinking about this earlier. They really need to do way with these paltry €3 or €4 wins. Utterly pointless. Minimum prize should be €50.

I see them every now and then - but id imagine they'd not have any harm in them or they wouldn't be there?

Ah yeah, that time they came out and did a bit of shouting. Harmless enough although it did freak me out a little.

That was almost a year ago though, have been up that way about 15 or so times since and haven't seen or heard them.

Question marks about this O'Rahily now. First the missing cat posts and he only gone away over the yard to his favorite hangout a stones throw away and now this.
Aunt couldnt give a fiddlers fart about guitar playing. Its O'Rahily. Shes a lunatic that one.

Bought some recovered golf balls off done deal recently. Found one of my old balls amongst them. 100% my initials on it, barely a mark on it.

Most of them in great nick tbf and good value. Just twiddling my thumbs until the courses open but that will be some time away. The reduction in 7 day average numbers is far too slow for any easing of restrictions.

What would you imagine are the odds of that? (assuming seller didn't know your name from done deal and put your initials on it for the lols. I hope he gave you a discount as that ball belonged to you. The thieving fuck.

[Lazare]

Doing Tempura again tonight as it was such a success last week.

Dropping the prawns and squid though, the veggies were the superstars.

Doing Karage Chicken instead with thigh meat.

Bowl of parmesan Wexford Queens wedges on the side.

Good oul aitin of a Saturday.

Yeah. I think a large amount of people aren't doing a bit of lockdown - kids in the creche, 'essential' work out of the home. Seems mad really given we're just a few months away from vaccination

gimme a RT ya prick. The academic world need to see my tweet!

Just on this bit, how are the numbers still so high?
I see the median age is very old imo, so is it rampant in nursing homes again or what?

Or is the British/Brazilian varieties spreading like wildfire?
Assume the border counties are still hit hard?

The auld slaughter houses are onto a winner selling those, the amount of waste they dont have to remove...must save a fortune in disposal fees. Tastiest part of the chicken though.

Seeing a bunch of lads from Limerick and Dublin in the RTE studio for an interview for the All.Star awards tonight has bothered me far more than it should. Would it have killed them to do video interviews for one year? Young Mullin from Mayo gave a video interview after winning YPOTY so it was possible to be done.

Watched the first 2 seasons , pleasantly surprised as thought it would be rubbish. Think the 3rd season is out on YouTube must check it out.
