    Also Kloops high tempo game can burn out his team take Dortmund for example . Same thing happened. They look physically and mentally spent. Need a break .

      Have cut out a lot of stuff. But proof will be in the pudding next week. Not cutting out breakfast though. 400 cals is a basic min for breakfast.

        This homeschooling lark is tricky, TGIF. Steak, Golf and a bitta poker. Shall road test a bottle of Red for our fallen few just for research purposes.

          Would have said Udemy but they seem to by on their one day of the month where there isnt a "SALE" on so...

          YouTube or Coursera should have what you want

            I know W3 Schools have gotten a bad rap over that last few years but I never had a problem with the site. I like the practical sandbox approach.

                  Kicking off the weekend with a delivery of a kilo of fresh and pungent kimchi. May all your weekends be similarly amazeballs.

                      I used that when I started off too.

                      SQL is just so handy to have, since I learned it, I’ve used about 5-6 variations of it but outside of small syntax differences it’s just another handy one add.

                          What do you do when you get to Cherbourg without a car?
                          I've not been but in my head it's probably a miserable place like Holyhead, Rosslare or Fishguard?
                          Do you just shop a bit and come back (aka a return trip)

                                Totally. Data is the gold of the 21st century gold rush, and SQL is the pick. Sure you have your R, No SQL, Jupyter Notebooks etc, but the day will always come when the best way to extract those precious data nuggets will be to use SQL.

                                    Maybe they’ll stop brewing all their mank novelty beers now

                                    Seems to be hinted at in the comments on Twitter and Instagram that part of why The company (some Irish beer distributors ) who initially outed him had done so was because he had stopped using them- kind of a weak move from them if true- if they followed him on social before they knew his views so decided to go for some handy Twitter likes when it cost them nothing
                                    I haven’t seen his posts but yeah if it’s mad Q anonand proud boy stuff on an account used to represent the Brand it’s not a good look full stop. At the same time looking at some of the gloating from the other side..

                                      Any piano players here?

                                      Have been messing about with a few basic major chords but I'd love to learn how to improvise and jam.

                                      With the guitar all you've got to do is learn the pentatonic scale and the world opens up.

                                      Is it similar with the piano?



                                      I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

                                        Have sampled a decent amount of their offerings over the last year and I just stick to their IPA's which are lovely but steer clear of the stouts, red ales, largers and sours which I dont think are great at all. The fact the stout is not great to start with means that no amount of mint chocolate chip or salted caramel will make it better.

                                        I did kind of like the idea of a dessert beer but they are fairly awful.

                                          I liked the black forest one and the salted caramel one.
                                          The others ranged from awful to urinal cake in a pint bad.

                                            It's quite nice, I thought. But yeah jump straight on the train. Train gets to Granville the Normandy capital in 2 hours and then you can tgv your way to wherever.

                                            Four hours to get to Angers, the start of the Loire Valley, by train.

                                                Is Erotimatikophobia like a real thing? I sent an email to someone today with a load of questions in it. They rephrased my mail a tiny bit and forwarded it to another party, CCing me, but for some reason they stripped out all the question marks. WTF?????

                                                        It might be a Charlie Damelio from TikTok thing - the most popular TikToker precisely because she annoys the least number of people rather than that she is liked by the most people. Maybe Ryan is in that category despite not seeming to be.

                                                                  Have been messing about with a few basic major chords but I'd love to learn how to improvise and jam.

                                                                  With the guitar all you've got to do is learn the pentatonic scale and the world opens up.

                                                                  Is it similar with the piano?


                                                                  This might seem pedantic but its unchanging in music.
                                                                  Music is all about notes, chords , harmony and rhythm. There is nothing different in any instrument except in the technique of playing any instrument . Pentatonic is just the 5 note major and minor scales with notes left out of the 7 note scale . If you learn where the keys are it's the same notes .

                                                                  I love how piano players look at the guitar , they look to play the melody into the chords . Brady does it well .

                                                                  If you are looking to improvise play your pentatonic on your guitar ( dont limit yourself to pentatonic though) then play along on your keyboard playing chords , then reverse it. Or just use backing track.

                                                                  The best muscle you use playing music is your ear.

                                                                    I haven’t seen his posts but yeah if it’s mad Q anonand proud boy stuff on an account used to represent the Brand it’s not a good look full stop. At the same time looking at some of the gloating from the other side..

                                                                      his radio show is leap across the room to turn off if you forget to switch channel after morning Ireland level bad- I know it’s prob standard for radio shows but a huge amount of the texts he reads out are clearly made up

The distributors deleted their like farming tweet

                                                                                Like when the Gerry Ryan show ratings went up whenever Fanning(?) sat in for him
                                                                                Or the days Ryan showed up late and nobody noticed


                                                                                Didn't stop RTE giving Ryan the pay rises and prime time slot and sending Fanning back to the coal bunker

                                                                                Also...Are the TAM (Irish Neilsen ratings) people really stopping the machine whenever they spend more time on their phone than watching the TV?


                                                                                *I think people complaining about the show but still watching is factored into his wages

My Dad has had it for 20 so happened to him at 60 but I've narrowed it down to full bodied or extra heavy or high ABV wines (>14%) and without food particularly. Having said that Sudafed works or Actifed if you need to sleep. Manageable- Don't give up wine that's a complete over reaction !

                                                                                    Thought though that while the concept is the same, improvising on the piano is a little tougher, a bit more going on.

                                                                                    Like, I'll find the key of a song on the guitar and just jam with the pentatonic, picking notes, a few bends and slides.

                                                                                    With the piano though, take Jools for example, when he jumps on it and just blasts out that improvised blues, jamming, it just seems a lot more complex.

                                                                                    ​​​​​I'll have a crack at it

Tubridy isnt a thick fucker so why not send him in to interview rather than with pre-rehersed questions, something a la Tommy Tiernan.

                                                                                                  I mean for a start, it probably doesn’t affect Facebook/Google’s ability to make money. They just delist the sites they need to and move on. The delisted media site is harmed much more.
                                                                                                  Also, “the fabric of society”. I don’t know about you, but I think society has far bigger problems than whatever FB/Google have done. That’s just me.

                                                                                                  I’m also skeptical of anyone who says they don’t utilise FB/Google or equivalent services.

You are ahead of the guitar wankers you just dont know it . Most songs are 3/4 chords . Playing melody over the chords is what piano players do from the start. I'd say you can play any campfire song , just learn the scale degrees . I'm not going through it as you know it I'm sure. Just take a scale and for each note play the corresponding chord . 1st major 2nd 3rd minor etc. All of these can be used in a song . Play melody over them and boom you are a fine guitarist. Imo of course

It’s fits your narrative so it must be good. But I don’t think it holds up to the slightest scrutiny.
                                                                                                          I mean for a start, it probably doesn’t affect Facebook/Google’s ability to make money. They just delist the sites they need to and move on. The delisted media site is harmed much more.
                                                                                                          Also, “the fabric of society”. I don’t know about you, but I think society has far bigger problems than whatever FB/Google have done. That’s just me.

                                                                                                          I’m also skeptical of anyone who says they don’t utilise FB/Google or equivalent services.
                                                                                                          FB is complicit in the Myanmar genocide and is one of the greatest facilitators of propaganda and disinformation to have existed in human history, that’s not in any way an exaggeration.
                                                                                                          they could do something about it (and in some recent high profile examples are belatedly doing something about it) , but it suits there bottom line better no to.
                                                                                                          not sure why you are sceptical about people saying they don’t use their services.

                                                                                                          I don’t have a Facebook or Instagram account- there is no social cost to me for this - I don’t feel I’m missing out on anything- they are not useful or essential at all.
                                                                                                          unfortunately I still am a Facebook customer in that I have to use WhatsApp for work and a few other things- don’t like it but there would be a cost

                                                                                                          Google- I use duck duck go for search, Apple maps for maps, outlook for mail and dont use google photos. Again not missing out and none of it an inconvenience at all.
                                                                                                          Can’t escape completely - I do use YouTube

                                                                                                          im sure not all my alternatives are shiny white but it’s better than being presented with evidence of how scummy google and Facebook are and just shrugging your shoulders because “convenience “

                                                                                                            Bought one for my wife's birthday years ago. I learnt how to play the opening few bars of Lean on me. That's all I knew how to play on it.

                                                                                                            Got it down good, but couldn't play beyond the first 12 bars.

                                                                                                            Was on a weekend away with some mates in Waterford, we gatecrashed a wedding on the Sat night.

                                                                                                            Deadly craic, up dancing with oul wans all night.

                                                                                                            We all went into the residents bar, about 50 people, big sing song.

                                                                                                            I spotted a piano and jumped onto it and lashed into Lean on Me.

                                                                                                            Dumm, de dum dum dum dumm, do do

                                                                                                            Fucking crowd went wild. I shat myself. Am on the 6th bar wondering wtf to do.

                                                                                                            I couldn't have scripted what happened. Just as I hit the last note the barman reefed me off it and shut it down.

                                                                                                            Boos from the crowd and they all sang it a capella.

                                                                                                            I was a hero

With Biden at 78 I have to say I'm very impressed with their capacities and energies to do the roles that they do at their ages. It's quite inspiring.
