    Is it not just that the worse you are at something the more you overestimate your ability?

      that's my understanding of it anyway.
      People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

          As you probably think
          It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.

          It's indicative of a caste with no class
          said the young Hindu gent and his lass
          it would sure make you wonder
          why so many of them ponder
          about the genitals of the youth of Madras

                Enjoyed the half Little Fawn half Hazy IPA from White Hag last week. Was familiar with Little Fawn and the Hazy will be making its way into my basket in Stephens St news when i get back to work. Light enough that you could pound them and not feel like pure shite the next morning. Key when you have a near two year old in a state 'lockdown'.

                Whiplash beers have always been my bag, especially their DIPAs but thankfully i can't get them online at the moment. I see they are selling through their own site and the Big Romance.
                Their half Body Riddle Half Rollover will be happening.

                Any codes Des???
                Just paged him there.

                          There was an IPBer called Shraaaap
                          Who contracted a dose of the clap
                          He went home to the wife
                          And begged for his life
                          But she shot out his kneecap

                              At a more basic level people estimate that they are above average at most things. Hence the greatest discrepancy from real ability will naturally be for those with the lowest ability.

                                There was a dodgy character called Hitch
                                Who scrotum had a most appalling itch
                                When asked to explain
                                What was causing the pain

                                    Yeah, most people think they are way better than average at driving.

                                          Here's a tip that will change your life.

                                          Crack the egg and pour gently into an espresso cup, ramekin or similar. If you split the yoke, throw it out and go again.

                                          Tip gently into hot oil.

                                            There was this chancer called The Duke
                                            His rightwing hero worship would make you puke
                                            But when it came to child expense
                                            That all went past tense
                                            And he could quote a Trotsky line cut to suit

                                              Crack the egg on a flat surface not the edge off the pan
                                              When you crack it in a edge you can break the protective layer around the yoke hence the spill.

                                              Duvet?
                                              Turn it inside out,
                                              put on corners,
                                              Grip middle in teeth,
                                              let it fall into place,
                                              shake

                                                I'm stressed out reading this . I shall have to climb into a duvet cover to calm myself.

                                                        There was a Sligo bogtrotter called Shamble
                                                        Across all of Europe he did ramble
                                                        When he got to the Med

                                                        Because the covid removed all his gamble

                                                          Apparently we're past the peak of ICU admissions and deaths for the first wave according to this: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/irel...23043?mode=amp

                                                          We were predicted to go beyond the ICU bed capacity but we'll be significantly under based on 500 beds opposed to 250 which it was originally modelled on, also predicts UK to suffer the worst in Europe in the first wave which is up till early August.

Was familiar with Little Fawn and the Hazy will be making its way into my basket in Stephens St news when i get back to work. Light enough that you could pound them and not feel like pure shite the next morning. Key when you have a near two year old in a state 'lockdown'.

                                                                                          www.craftcentral.ie is Stephen St News, and they have mix and match 4 for 10 and 4 for 12 online as well as in store.

                                                                                          they announced a brand new IPA this morning

                                                                                                        You'd wonder if we will be extra cautious here of any latent effects given the proximity and sharing a border. Might be more cautious than otherwise of reopening things given the chance of a random nordie zombie infecting us all again.

                                                                                                              Actually the people who know most 'shout the loudest' (the darkest line), its just that those who know least also shout louder than they should - but not as loud as those who know a lot.

                                                                                                              I don’t think that graph suggests I said was wrong, not even close tbh.
                                                                                                              The dark line is perceived ability. Not how vocal people are. Assuming that everyone is only as vocal on a subject as their perceived ability is a bit of a blunder.
                                                                                                              I think it’s likely to be shaped by environment. These people aren’t challenging known experts’ opinion. But on a platform such as facebook, surrounded by plebs, the overconfidence manifests. Surely we’ve all seen that happen.

                                                                                                              Also, the study included more than one test. Here’s the another one. 2nd quartile rated their ability and performance higher than the top quartile.
