Don't know the exact count. Think we are at about 60%. We need 80/90% to make it happen depending on the price per % so if anyone else has an interest in taking a piece please sign up here. Ask yourself this?

The 100 opener? Made day 2 yesterday. Only 20bb but enough for a spin on the final day. The numbers they are getting are mental. There was 3600 in for my flight alone. Wish I had of gambled it up a bit more to build a stack and shot another few days for a better stack.Originally posted by Dice75 View PostJumoed into my first ever Bracelet Event.

Tidying up the rental house this evening prior to departure tomorrow morning when the landlady appeared. Thought she was most likely checking in to see what we had broken (surprisingly little) but no, she had come to say goodbye to the kids and have a 'competition' to see if they could guess the name of the big teddy left in one of the bedrooms. My youngest hit the jackpot with the inspired selection of Big Ted and she promptly presented her with a fiver and one for her brother.
This on top of a welcome pack that included beer, wine, milk, tea, bread, scones, butter, jam, chocolate, biscuits and sweets. Not to mention ample supplies of face masks and hand sanitiser.
Some hospitality tbf. I even got a copy of the Southern Star out of the deal. Ireland wins.

One of the best hardcore punk frontmen ever to grace a stage and a true hero to me growing up is gone.
Why I came to be touched (figuratively) by a gay chinaman from Canada as a 16 year old from south Derry is still a mystery.
One of my life’s great regrets is that I was at a hardcore show in Vancouver In the early 90s, maybe 50 or 60 people, and there he was with a couple of friends and I was too awestruck to say hello and tell him how much his music meant to me.

So the pampered kids, with all the advantages, have no idea how to struggle and fight for what they want and often lack resilience. Probably correct that you are recognizing and rewarding these desirable qualities but are the 'advantaged' kids at a disadvantage in that they have had everything handed to them. Not being factious here and intrigued by the question of how to 'teach' resilience and fight. Could also go next level and ask the question why are these qualities still so disable and necessary in this day and age.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
On the more general question of selection bias, I would argue the focus should be on removing irrelevant bias from the selection process. If an experiment gives you unreliable results, don't try to change the results by applying weightings or something, go back an change the experiment. Like the 'black' sounding name should never be a factor in the selection process. Probably scope for introducing automation, like verifiable credit ratings for work experience or personality tests, to help remove conscious, unconscious or deliberate bias. It should be possible to audit selection processes, like accounts, and penalize companies with substandard 'loaded' selection processes. Extended equality legislation and stiff penalties would also help. The Equality Acts 1998‐2004 have done a massive amount to balance things out in Ireland in my lifetime.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor RooseveltComment

I think you are right and we are talking about two different things. I’ve no issue with a hiring bias to correct imbalances in a workforce as you describe.Originally posted by Kayroo View Post
I think the intensity of bias and historical back tracking depends is case specific rather than a blanket rule.
I was genuinely curious about Hectorjelly’s logic and comments. I don’t think anyone should feel uncomfortable with the re-advantaging you describe.
Ah you always come across as condescending, that didn’t bother me. Wasn’t trying to make an ad hominem argument, “better than that” was meant to dismiss the post, not the poster.I wasn't trying to answer HJ's question really, more fleshing out the position I thought he was making. We clearly disagree on how to address in-built racist/sexist/etc advantages but at least we agree that they have to be addressed. If I came across as condescending I apologise, it's an unfortunate side-effect of almost always seeming condescending. Your ad hominems were a little uncalled for if you ask me, as were mine.
I don’t think we necessarily disagree. I just think that’s more to it that a conceptual approach. Certainly anything discussion here won’t solve anything for any one. So happy to bury it.

Went to Skibbereen farmers market this morning to buy some provisions for lunch with friends in Laois on the way home.
Very first person we saw was Ian Bailey. I've no real opinion on his guilt or innocence in that case (and he is of course legally innocent) but he is one strange-looking individual. He was attempting to chat up all the other stallholders, who mostly looked uncomfortable with this. My daughter (13) had no idea who he was but walked away quite fast when she saw him. Definitely some bad vibes emanating off that dude."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."Comment

Thinking of our little one we lost a lot over the past couple of days. Spent some time looking at the mortuary in The Coombe yesterday, thinking back, hoping nobody was in there.
There's a special purple logo that they stick to all of your stuff, hall passes, med records etc that helps inform security staff etc to be kinder to you. Was staring at that logo yesterday, for ages.
Thinking that my two year old, and this new beautiful baby wouldn't exist if it wasn't for what happened.
Rainbow babies they're called.
Anyway, this song captures it for me...

Kid did two things that have me pretty blown away today.
1/
I was brushing her hair and she asks, daddy are we really small?
No says I, you are getting bigger everyday.
But Daddy, my LOLs are really small and they are my toys.
Yeah?
Well are we just toys of something really big like Big Boots (a giant from a story I tell her)
?
Fucking four.

Long before the benchmark reference work on kilings during the Troubles, Lost Lives, there was this extraordinary piece of work by a Lancashire bus driver with no research qualifications. Had never heard of it until today.
I was very surprised to learn an original copy of Lost Lives now sells for between e500 and e1000 as it's been out of print for over a decade and the original authors are unlikely to update it.
I have to say it's pretty ghoulish that the book is changing hands for that amount now, I'd have thought around the e100-150 would be more realistic.
Last time I checked my copy, probably a decade ago or more, I totted up 13 people I knew who were killed (either personally or knew a family member) - neighbours, family friends, a teacher, from all sides of the 'divide'.
