    And its such a silly argument approach 'oh health outcomes depend on so many factors that we can't measure, so lets assume the health system is crap but all these other things we can't measure are amazing'. If Irish health outcomes are very good, which they are, its because the health system is very good.

      So it's not because of our superior genes and diet?

        I've always done it standing up and instinctively go to do it that way, but being 50+ I'm finding it a bit of a challenge these days.
        48 years taking pants off inefficiently i found out a few weeks ago...

        Open waist, shake you left leg a few times till it comes below the ankle, use your right foot to trap it and pull it off, repeat other side, done !
        This too shall pass.

            Harris learned to communicate well, which was arguably all we needed at the time, and something Donnelly is brutal at, I think the jury is still out on whether Harris was a good health minister though.
            Good point about whether Harris was a good health minister. Fortunately enough for him he will be benchmarked against Donnelly and will come out of it looking fantastic.

                  Just generally. I'm just bitter as I wanted to get back play some golf with Murdrum and crew. It was always ambitious, but it's the hope that kills ya.

                  There are far bigger consequences than me missing a day out playing whackfuck though.

                  I'm not sure where Im going with this, all work and no play makes homer go something something.

                      If you’re basing your disappointment on a lost day playing golf with me, you’ll be happy to know, you missed 1hr of me waffling the ear off you followed by 3 hrs of me sulking about why I’m still shite at golf in spite of 20 hours a week of YouTube videos and buying a new driver every fortnight

                        I haven't been waffled to in nearly two years. There is no waffling in Canada, they have things like line ups(queues), and sidewalks(paths), a town on the border of Alberta and Saskatchewan is called Alsask and an area of the Kootenay mountains near the Can/Us border is called Koocanusa.


                        These guys don't get waffle. Its with O'Leary in the grave.

                        More importantly, what driver are you getting?

                            My presumption was that there was deal made when he joined the party that he'd a given that role / a big ministery when FF got back in power.

But wow thats some way of saying that. Almost impressive.

                                  But surely listing out 13 countries one-by-one in a 27 country union and saying Ireland is behind these 13 countries, and not noting Ireland as therefore the middle country of 27 can only have been an attempt to add to anyone reasonable's bothers.

                                      Climate change is not some abstract threat happening elsewhere, it is real, and is happening everywhere we chose to engage in unsustainable and wasteful technology. Bitcoin is simultaneously both an environmental and a moral disaster that does nothing but enable the same kind of reckless speculation and gambling that created the global financial crisis. For those of us in the tech sector we have to ask ourselves a fundamental question. What possible explanation are we going to tell to our children about why our generation did this?

                                      The story will have to go like this: We were angry at the financial status quo and instead of finding the answers and strength of purpose within ourselves to build a more fair, democratic and just society we instead decided to put our faith in an anarchist technical fantasy that solved nothing and only escalated irreversible damage to our climate. And now it’s your generation’s problem.

                                      I don’t want to tell my children that story. We don’t need to repeat the mistakes of our parent’s generation. Buying bitcoin isn’t buying “digital gold”. It’s investing in a futures contract on the gullibility of your fellow man, a debit on our children’s lives and a stake in climate change nihilism. It is long past time for us in the tech sector to get on the right side of history and stop enabling this madness.

                                        Can confirm everything here

                                        I'm fairly sure if a driver, fairway wood, iron or putter from the big manufacturers has come out in the last 5 years, Murdrum has had it in his bag for a short while. And then made some profit off it, the man is a magnet for a bargain.

                                          As mentioned before I dipped into Bitcoin around the last bull run and sold on its way up for a very small profit as i became more aware what a crock of shit it was (I tried actually using it- at the time people were still pretending it was going to be a currency)
                                          had something like a euro or something like that left after cashing out, with Bitcoin in news again logged in and found recent bulk run had brought that up to 17 euro.
                                          Messed around a bit and have 143 euro now after putting it in to some worthless junk called GRT (the graph- they call themselves the google of blockchain ) bought in at 29 cent it’s at 1.50 now

                                          thinking of casing it out of coin base now and buying an expensive bottle of whiskey to savour on the day this crypto bubble implodes
                                          Anyone know how banks look upon withdrawals from coin base to you are applying for mortgages etc down the line? Assume they (correctly) don’t like it and flag you as a potential paedo or something?

                                              Ordinary people have to believe that audited entities do not cheat and if it is the case then that auditors are honest and diligent enough to find it out. Put it simply, it could be difficult for ordinary people to verify whether authorities do their job well."

                                                I know what you are doing here. You are creating an argument 'open goal' in the hope the RDIII will return for an easy conversion.

                                                We are a first world country by many standards. This leads to a better quality of life and a higher life expectancy. Our health service is not one of the first world standards.

                                                Breast cancer mortality rates among women aged 45+ in 2015 (for Bulgaria and Slovakia - 2014 and Russian Federation – 2013; for countries with small populations – Cyprus, Luxembourg and Malta – we used Joinpoint modeled data, applied due to large fluctuations). The highest mortality rates – more than 60/100,000 of the population – occurred in Hungary (62.9/100,000), Croatia (62.3/100,000) and in Ireland (60.6/100,000). The lowest – less than 40/100,000 – occurred in Spain (36.8/100,000) and in Norway (36.9/100,000). Among remaining analyzed countries, we can distinguish two main groups – countries with mortality rates between 42/100,000 and 50/100,000 (ten countries) and between 50/100,000 and 59/100,000 (seventeen countries).

                                                  I think I tipped over the edge this evening.

                                                  Bought the first 3 records in a 6 record set of the sound of the artist - The Caretaker - progressing though the stages of dementia.

                                                  It's a concept sound art cycle I suppose based on the slowly degrading sound of 1920s and 30s ballroom music, light jazz/pop and the like.

                                                  It's 6.5 hours of 'music' in total and cost e70 for first three pieces only! so I'll drop at least another e70 to complete the set when they are finally reissued - the originals cost over e100 for each record)

                                                  "Embarking on the Caretaker’s final journey with the familiar vernacular of abraded shellac 78s and their ghostly waltzes to emulate the entropic effect of a mind becoming detached from everyone else’s sense of reality and coming to terms with their own, altered, and ever more elusive sense of ontology. The series aims to enlighten our understanding of dementia by breaking it down into a series of stages that provide a haunting guide to its progression, deterioration and disintegration and the way that people experience it according to a range of impending factors."

                                                  It might be the only thing I ever need to listen to again which makes me both sad and gives me comfort at the same time.

And before you go all Irish Society for the Promotion of Cataract Awareness on me, I'm sure they're horrific, its just not comparable to survival from all illnesses.

Everyone always bases their views on their mate who does a few operations in the beacon. Or Matilda who sat on a trolley. I think service could be dramatically improved, and they need to concentrate more on under-focused illnesses, but the actual outcomes are really good.

Anyway it was about stents. He said at the end of it between their study and other similar ones he's pretty convinced that stents don't work in the vast majority of cases. As in, they have no positive impact at all. Reckons the whole thing is more or less just a racket to keep surgeons billable hours up*

I think service could be dramatically improved, and they need to concentrate more on under-focused illnesses, but the actual outcomes are really good.

It seems like very decent resourcing. Probably why we have some of the best health outcomes in Europe.

                                                                                                            Most apps of worth direct you to a website to pay for stuff

                                                                                                            So pay with debit cards etc/ Even threes own website wont let you buy with the credit they say you can spend

                                                                                                            Have some credit about to run out...

                                                                                                            Anything worth buying in google store that can be paid for with Google Play credits?

                                                                                                            Or am i just renting a bunch of movies?

I'll randomly pick jewelry, just gold alone for jewelry is way worse for energy use and literally destroys the environment when getting it, let alone all the other bad uses of it, like sitting as a store of value. Won't anybody think of the whataboutism.
