His instruction of being precise falls apart under his own stream of consciousness writing style. He decries strawmanning but has a core bunch of targets he blames for the ills of the world.

You really hit the nail upon the head here. This really grinds my gears. Although to be fair to that particular weirdo the practice is quite widespread.

read 12 rules a few years ago, to me it was as I read it I found it interesting and somewhat agreeable.
It was only really as I finished it and tried to explain it to the missus, the hypocrisy of his writing became difficult to ignore.

I honestly don't think you'll learn anything not immediately apparent to anyone with even a cursory understanding of mindfulness (which is kinda short hand of "dont be a prick")
and it will remind you at times of every occasion you are stuck talking to the over earnest fella in the smoking area of the pub who keeps grabbing your arm as you try to politely leave .

My willingness to devote more time to him evaporated as he continued to use patreon to shape his output tailoring his missives to those who gave him the most money.

There is a fair disparity of opinion on him here which I suppose is to be expected and is probably a good thing.

I did note on some of the clips I saw was he referred to himself by title a number of times "as a clinical psychologist.."
It's a trick you often hear on Prime Time type shows to give weight to an opinion "Of course as a GP .." "As a solicitor" etc

Cheers for the review.

The only objection I have to the kids going back to school is this is something Trump likes and seen as he is the anti christ, this will trigger all our deaths .

Question for the all knowing BBV

Let's say you were in work and needed to have a shit and let's say that this shit was the absolute most foulest shit you've ever had.

I'm talking the smell is so bad, it is wafting out the toilet door and down the corridor - people's nose hair is starting to burn as they smell it, some people are starting to cough as if they've just inhaled some nefarious white powder that was posted to them as part of a terrorist act.

Let's say you are this person who had this shit. You are in the cubicle, having just finished your business (there is only one cubicle in the toilet) and just before you are about to leave the cubicle, you hear somebody washing their hands at the sink. Do you

A) Wait until they leave the toilet as sweet mother of baby Jesus (sorry Kayroo) , you don't want to face anybody after that shit and for them to know that it actually came from inside your body.

or

B) Walk out and start to make small talk as if you hadn't just performed a bodily movement akin to the dropping of a nuclear bomb on war torn Japan.

I'm playing the afterschool hero for the next 2 weeks (Mrs D3 has to do her work in-person, onsite) and then I think I'll start going into the office 3 days a week once it is proven they can be trusted to be in the house without setting it on fire\stabbing each other. It's open now but is a bit zombie apocalypse, given the lack of humans in the building.

We haven't had chance to experience the Zombie apocalypse. In March we had a worst case scenario forecast and we never got near it. Tidied up all outstanding subscriptions and bills and have actually came out of this much leaner. All took a 20% paycut which has since been restored and reimbursed. Hiring again and dishing out Bonuses and Promotions. We're back over 2020 Budget and all of this done from working from home so it can work for sure.

Of the 100 in Dublin office. Only 15 of us expressed an interest in returning to the office with a September soft reopening. That number dwindled down to single figures and decision was made to keep it closed until well into the new year. The cost lighting up the place wasn't worth it for a handful of people popping in and out that and latest Gov Guidelines.

People are going to get sick of it at some stage i'd imagine. I've a young team that are screaming to get social activities going. We've gone on a hike but no session yet. Bit of underlying pent up frustration there that i don't think has came out yet.

I had an unwelcome rub up against the job market these last few months. Might be of interest to some in the same boat or possibly facing into it.

I was unexpectedly made redundant in mid-June as an expected investment in the company dried up. So I set myself a target of applying for an average of one job a day and a interviewing for one job per week.

So in 10 weeks I applied for 123 roles (an average of just over 1.5 jobs per day) and got interviews for 13 or about 10%. Jobs all had product, content or e-commerce in the title. Probably half those I was either over or under qualified for so knew I was unlikely to get an interview but still applied as you simply never know what will happen if a human sees your profile.

Things were slow to start as I slogged through a bunch of backlog jobs which may have been on job sites for quite a while. These were largely useless, 'thanks but no thanks' but I did score one part-time freelance writing job which kept me interested and sharpened my skills a little.

However by mid-July the market seemingly took an outrageous turn and relevant jobs flooded in for me with regular interviews and good feedback with which to work.

In the end I was at final stage for 4 roles this week (and had two first stage interviews yesterday as well) and the one I accepted (back into content marketing for a fintech product company) had first mover advantage.

Most annoyingly, just over one-third of those I submitted an application too responded either with a 'thanks but no thanks' or an interview offer. The others were pig ignorant fucks where you were luck to receive an automated 'we received your application but we'll only be in touch if we could be bothered'.

Anyway, it all ended well but the message to anyone in a similar boat is just keep plugging away. It's a numbers game. Just as an example, I was told by one recruiter not to be concerned if I saw 150 people had applied for a role on LinkedIn as straight away you could discount half of those as speculative non visa holders with zero chance and half of the other half would be speculative no-hopers wholly unsuited to the role. Seemed to be about right in the end.

So the nipper starts school tomorrow and I start back to work from home next week and while the virus is obviously a pile of shite I can't say I won't miss the time I had to hang out with the young fella, teaching him to cycle, splashing in the sea at Donegal, watching The Rubbish World of Dave Spud and teaching him about how Arthur and Ray were actually the best Minder over Arthur and Terry. He's still having none of it and can't get his head around why Terry left.

Glad I was able to make the best of a bad lot.

Think our place is actively pushing people to go back in, especially in the US. As in, if you don't have a really good excuse, you need to be in the office 50% of the time.

Not reached those levels here yet but I could see it happening for sure. Personally wouldn't mind speaking face to face with beings that are not (a) a dog or (b), my children during the working day.

[Solksjaer!]

So started work today with a group zoom. Rate my opening banter, please? There was a silence at the end with an 'well anyway ...' shuffle from the head guy. About four people there at this point. Average age of 50-55 or so.

Opening banter – 6/10 .
Bosses Banter – 5/10 Crowd need to get out more.

Banter aggregate 5.5 out of 10.

This was nobody’s finest hour .

Was on a road trip many moons ago and driving in to San Diego (looking to check in) needing to go(at Defcon 2, not quite turtle heading at this stage) Drinking the night before/takeaway food
One of the lads is a fussy fucker about smells and cleanliness and discounted the first place because it smelled of piss.
Second place was burnt food smell or some bollox like that.
Now I'm at Defcon 3 and im "whatever the next place is we are fucking taking it, that's it"
Im driving too so will have to find parking as were hitting the centre of town.
So park the car and we hit the lobby of this fairly grand old style hotel, big huge long lobby and I'm wondering will I be able to make it to the desk, check in and make it to the room.
So were approaching the desk and I see this kid getting sick outside the restaurant.
See my mate grimacing and rush the last few feet to the desk
"wheres the bathroom my friends will check in"
He points back down the lobby so I now have to negotiate a tricky 20 metres, stiff legged, clenching and sweating like Prince Andrew when he heard Ghisaine Maxwell was arrested.
Make it to the toilet which was basically a cupboard accessing directly on to the lobby.
Anyway jocks off quicker than Our Conor on the last 2 furlongs of Cheltenham and utter, blissful relief.
Someone starts pounding on door (I've only just got in) and I'm there "ill be a few minutes"
More pounding and sort of angry noises "ill be out in a minute ffs" I'm sayin
Finally finish and open door to be greeted by the security guard desperate to get past me despite his disgust at the stench. I had a big grin on with a "I wouldnt be in a hurry to get in there mate" He actually snarled at me as he barged past.

The lads were cracking up

We could smell you from the lobby.
They went nearer to the smell of the kids vomit to get away from it.

Tesco sell a 00 flour but the typeface they use makes it hard to see

Wife ordered stuff a few weeks ago from kateskitchen.ie, breadflour and Nduja sausage, never tasted it before but i would brush my teeth with it if i could !

I'm pretty sure I've had this sausage as a starter in Grano, Stoneybatter. It was in a little terracota dish with a candle heating the base I believe. Awesome kick of heat. Simply delicious some bread and olive oil. Grano is an excellent little restaurant and I can't wait to head back there.

On the topic of Italian restaurants I was in another great little spot a couple of weeks back that just blew my mind - Sprezzatura just off Camden St. If I'm not mistaken almost all of the staff and kitchen are Brazilian. This takes nothing away from the brilliant pasta which is freshly made each day. The price is outrageously cheap for what you get - the dessert was only €3.50 and total was €50 for two (1x starter, 2x mains, 2x glasses of wine, 2x desserts + tip). Ordering done online via your phone is a big plus for me too. Food was exceptional for that pice point.

Yes ive had that in grano also, fantastic little restaurant and reasonably priced. Ill be off to check out that other recommendation v soon!

9 year old has just gone into Temple St for an X-Ray after swallowing a 50c coin.

Seems like a bizarre thing to do at that age and I was quite sure the advice would be 'do nothing and it will come out the other end tomorrow' but no, GP was rung and she has to get checked out. Luckily it's Mrs D3's turn for hospital duty.

Any change?

I probably should wait for Denny to reparse for me to a harmless misquote but a man who has compared the shooting of an unarmed man in the back seven times to a missed putt is trying to stoke up hatred and division for electoral advantage is probably going to stir up enough anger to get himself in the firing line.

[dinekes]

Bit dangerous. You do the courtesy flush and then after finishing your business realise it's a slow filling toilet and there isn't enough water in the tank for the final proper flush. I'd say many of us innocent bystanders would prefer no floating turds greeting us on arrival in the cubicle over a risk-taking courtesy flusher. Speaking for the silent majority here.

Ha ha that's it

Was in Frsnce last summer. Nice meal al Fresco and of course only 1 tiny little broom closet Jax. Plumbing about 50 years old with a complicated but delicate looking flush system which I managed to break. Was only a piss but I was frantically trying to fix the fucking thing as could hear people waiing outside. Eventually just said sod it and left. Slight shrug of the shoulders and gesturing back towards the toilet in a nonchalant "cest pas mon affaire" type way.

Always getting in to these "uh oh" type situations.
I'll be opening a door in a hotel and a doorhandle will come off in my hand or stuff like that. "Thars ok sir happens all the time"

Must give that a listen when have a free listening spot. After your post earlier I was trying to find a decent book on the promise and potential impact of VR. Couldn't see anything decent at all - did you ever hear of anything?

No can't recommend anything.

I was interested to see how difficult the programming is involved behind it all as the market is only going to continue to grow. Like the early days of mobile apps, if you can create simple good ideas with mass appeal it could be very lucrative but I decided to play the pokers instead last month. Bad decision

That kind of programming is hard though. Mainly down to the math and physics involved in the worlds. I did some very simple augmented reality stuff before and even that was difficult. Although I was working in a very low-level library whereas if you use some kind of engine like Unity I presume it abstracts much of that stuff away from you but never used it. I see Unity recently moved an office to Dublin.

Some guy stuck up a post on Reddit with a tutorial to do that mapping thing of the room I posted a while back where your physical room matches the VR environment so I am gonna give that a go and see how I get on.

The 1st load should be the mudderload . This carries the main bulk . The initial release contains the offending odour. The lid should be shut when dispatching the mudderload. Take this opportunity to work on you sphincter muscle and perhaps some squats to build up the scrawny legs . If the 2nd lesser of the two evil jobbies remains . Leave the toilet in good faith. , you did what was humanly possible at the time .

you'd be better off getting into the nuances of DApps, IMO, distributed APPs, VR is a little like AI which has been 50 years coming and almost ready, I'm not as sure about VR as I am about DApps.

Alright now folks, need your expertise for this one. Over the years, every Irish movie that was mentioned to me I tried to keep track of and at a later date acquire so I could have a pretty decent list.. and now, I'm trying to make sure that the list is not missing some glaringly obvious choices, or even just some good Irish movies I don't have. It's a long auld list, some are probably not even that Irish to be honest, and the ones with a star I have still yet to get a decent version of but happy with new ones if you have any!

Decent list ! A fair few i ahvent seen.

What constitutes an Irish film ? Made here, themes ?

Millers crossing, siege of jadotville, Brooklyn ?

Irish main characters ?

War of the buttons is the best frame of childhood nostalgia I have & is all the sweeter now living abroad, thanks for bringing it to mind mdoug!

[Charlie Sheen]

'71 count?

Parked (never heard of this until recently)

The Devil's Own (Brad Pitt's accent surely counts?)

Killing of the Sacred Deer (two leads are Irish)

Not sure of the requirements so just throwing out anything with something Irish in it that's not on your list.

Shrooms?

The original is amazing also. Well worth a watch.

American carnage.

American carnage.

It's really just that the dress shoes with the lifts look so out of place. In fairness he gets slagged no matter what he wears. I'd advise him to shave his head and go full camo like Lukashenko.

I've a grand on Biden now after topping up today when he moved into 10/11. Might give it a month before getting the final €500 on.

I'm contemplating a big bet too. I just can't see how Trump wins all the swing states he needs - WI, MN, FL, PA.

Especially if their covid response remains as ineffective as it has been. I think that'll be the big narrative of the election, not the current racism/mob violence (pick according to your political flavour) theme.
