Busy today. I think ye know what I mean so I'm not arsed to delve further .
I do know what you mean. But I think it’s incorrect for the reasons given.
Re-writing history on a case by case basis is simply not realistic. Happy to leave it on that note.

I hope the plan isn't that as soon as all the old people are vaccinated we should all go out and walk around getting infected. Like I want the virus wiped out, not just that it stops killing old people.
Seems its all about the Astra-Zeneca goodness. For holidays, I'd say June bookings will lead to heartbreak, but may as a result have the best value. August flights, hotels, everything are going to cost the absolute moon.
I presume that the start is slower because you need to go each nursing home but once it gets past the old people stage we will all going to the vaccine if that makes sense.
Well I hope that a sort of industrial vaccination program is on the cards not everyone book a slot with your GP, I heard they were talking with the GAA about using their grounds.
GAB throws in a request for a knife sharpening device and the conversation meanders effortlessly between how to sharpen knives and how to shoot knife wielders.
In other news. I seen that in December, the last cipher letter from the Zodiac killer was decoded. It had stumped the world cryptologists for 51 years. Took a lot of brute force through thousands of permutations.
gave no clues to his indentured however.
Also in serial killers news. Samuel Little died in prison last week. Responsible for a possible 93 murders (50 confirmed). Which makes him America’s most prolific serial killer ever - more kills that Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffery Dahmer combined. Expect he’ll be subject of a Netflix documentary soon.
1. I've been talking specifically about this instance.
2. The death of this man was avoidable
3. The coppers job is also to protect ALL life .
1. It's not possible to have standard rules of engagement that are case-specific. Otherwise there'd be no objective standard against which to judge the ESU's behaviour.
2. You have absolutely no way of knowing that. They tazed him twice, pepper sprayed him and pleaded with him repeatedly to drop the knife and did not shoot until he lunged for a Garda. If that's all true (and we don't know that yet) then they took all reasonable steps to subdue the man and only fired when the life of a Garda was in direct jeopardy. That is entirely justifiable, if tragic.
3. You said we were missing the word "ALL" in a previous post. Well point 3 here is missing the words "within reason". If someone is running towards a primary school with a machine gun having threatened to kill everyone inside and then refuses to drop the weapon when commanded to do so, is it right to let him run into the building or to shoot? Once you accept that there are grey areas here (and there are) then you need to have rules for how to navigate the use of force. Which brings us back to point 1 above.
Shooting at his body mass to take down a civilian with a crude knife was not protecting all life adequately . This is my view on it and the remit for armed police should be to avoid administering a death penalty unless there is definite mortal danger . There is a part of me the feels if it were me with the knife I would be alive today .
Two things here. First, you appear to be accepting that if the shooter believed his colleague was in mortal danger that he was right to shoot. That's literally what the rules of engagement require of him. You are accepting a point that has been made regularly here but which you previously seemed to reject.
Second, your last sentence brings a racial element in to this for which (as of yet) there is no basis. It's an Americanisation of an Irish issue. We know American cops disproportionately shoot black people in shocking situations where there's no actual threat. A black person is shot here by AGS, therefore the same must apply? No. That's nonsense. It may well transpire that the shooter was, in part or in whole, motivated by racial animus. Or it may transpire that it was a real and genuine fear for the life of his fellow officer. It may transpire that, while the belief of the shooter was genuine, an objective assessment shows he was overly hasty or careless. There's any number of potential outcomes. But wild speculation about the motivations of the parties involved doesn't advance things one inch.
We seem to agree that there are situations where it is justifiable to use potentially lethal force. Whether or not this was one of those situations is something nobody here can say. That's for GSOC and any other inquiries established to discover.

Thanks RD3 I’ll order one of them either way.
It arrived this week so not a limescale issue but not sure what’s up.
It works completely fine with single shot filter but double shot filter something isn’t working.
Perhaps it’s not mechanical either because the issue arises no matter if I press the single or double shot button so it’s a filter issue.
Ill try grind the coffee finer and order a second filter along with what RD3 said. The effort of shipping it back to Amazon makes me want to get it working.
Zodiac is the only unsolved murder type case I find interesting because for some largely unknown reason I happen to love the movie
So IPB are we racist in Ireland ? The cesspit of online comments I've read this week is really depressing reading.
it is somewhat of an eye opening even at my age.
For Kayroo . If someone is shot dead , its avoidable . A choice was made . I don't need to be there . Even the high level bare facts say to me , he doesnt deserve the fatal bullet.
anyway its irrelevant what I think but I am unmoved in my view .
Mental health is becoming a bigger problem in Ireland. It needs to be treated separately to terrorist attacks. Back to my seafood chowder . Good ol Aldi.

there is definitley a dark underbelly there.
The cesspit is a relatively small percentage of the population though.

This is like Downfall in Washington right now. The Fuhrer about to go onstage and whip up the remaining loyal troops while simultaneously lashing out in all directions against his henchmen.
"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

The vocal cesspit is a small percentage. The Cesspit as a whole is bigger than we think i feel.
Twitter has been my favourite and only medium for 10 years now. Don't even post but have always loved it. How have they not done something about Anon accounts posting lies, hatred and abuse at this stage? It is at its worst at the moment and is quite depressing reading. There's clearly a lot of pent up anger over the last year.
PSVs idea of shooting it unto the sun is a good one but it will just drive that traffic elsewhere. I always wonder do i know anyone that has an anon account and uses it.
There is an underbelly but they (rightly) don’t get any airtime - Twitter and YouTube need to do more but it’s fringe stuff
On the other side there is far too much time given to certain academics and NGO/Quangos whose raisin d’etre seems to be painting Ireland as an instutionally racist hellhole on par with the US and apartheid South Africa and who seem determined to import the worst type of Twitter shite into discussions about race in Ireland. This isn’t helping anyone
Ah there he is as i was posting.
It's not just what they are posting. It is who is reading it. I take my father as a(non-racist) example. I introduced him to twitter about 3 years ago. He's been a long term Anti FFer which is perfectly fine given his experience over the last 60+ years in his life but has now gone full two footed anti establishment. His arguments were always coherent and based on factual content from reputable(ish) news sources.
I've noticed some amount of horseshit in his arguments over the last while to the point i can't listen and it's led to arguments. Jumped on his twitter to see who he was following and was annoyed but when i checked what posts he was liking i couldn't believe it. Really floored me. Has no idea he is caught in a horrendous echo chamber, some of which is non factual and some of which is anon accounts. The 'Home' feed tweets instead of 'latest' feed is a horrific tool if used the wrong way and should be disabled.
And not saying there isn’t an ocean of racism on social media just that the Irish figures driving it are very much fringe figures of ridicule- Rowan croft (gran Torino) , Gemma o d, Justin Barrett
I've see the likes of gript being referenced as a trusted news source a lot more in the last week or so

Mitt Romney, Susan Collins and all other purple senators hiding behind Mitch surely sweating this run off, funking for either Red control, or blue control, a 50/50 puts them all firmly in the firing line on any contentious vote.
This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

the VP breaks any 50/50 tie
so 50/50 (which is what it is) is actually a Dem majority
"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Yeah but is there anyway the 50/50 could be used to put pressure on Fake Purple Senators like Collins? Mitt is a shoe in cos Mormons are weird.

This lockdown is already harder . The youngest is terrorizing the oldest and has no fear of me at all . Eldest fellow takes all the punishment but wont fight back. Can you get a mini tazer for a 4 year old ? He is a beast so I'll probably have to fire a body shot off. At my wits end with the little shite. Full on . Work is impossible

You know that there are loads of grants available therough the HSE under the umbrella of homecare. ITs more than a decade ago but I recovered 75% of the cost of a 10K bathroom conversion and fitout. You need to talk to the Public Health Nurse and get an occupational Therapist to do an assessment and that will open the purse strings.
There are some great supports available for keeping people at home and there is no need to be carrying it all on your own.

Depending on your spec
low end bout 2-3 grand supplied and fitted
high end ie wall hung toilet fully tiled and nice vanity bout 3.5-4.5 grand
again these are dependent on size of area you are planning
can get one of the teams I work a good with to call you to discuss if you wish
they are fully insured and would be doing jobs like this all year round
i can supply materials to you if you wish
The bro is sending his kid to childcare on the grounds that hes an essential worker as he's an accountant. And it seems accountancy is indeed an essential service. I was delicately suggesting to him that (a) there was no point shutting the schools to contain corona if people are still sending the kids out the door, and (b) he hasn't been in his office for nearly a year. His line is that hes doing an essential service from home and therefore is entitled to avail of it.
These protestors in Washington probably see themselves as brave revolutionaries for the cause. Watch them all fuck off for a barrel of fried chicken once they get hungry.

Long-term exposure to such an accountant could be very damaging to a child. Probably best to put them in childcare.

D'Mudder has completed all rest of the available episodes. However, as it's a new episode every week now, and she can't just click next, she has thrown a temper tantrum and apparently hates it.

Real bang of “coup” off this.

Hmmm, so I just got a new job and am taking my most trusted colleague with me. Pretty much bang on the 'move roles within 3 years or else you're wasting your time' timeline too. Although only an internal move so not quite as sexy.
Might be a cause to drink Saturday wine on a Wednesday.

The GOP and their cowardly handling and support of Trump has been one of the most idiotic miscalculations in modern US political history . The big worry is the rock has been lifted and every racist nutjob that crawled out will not let go of Trumpism. Atrocities await. On the plus side 'most' people reject his reign of blather.
remarkably unprepared for something the world could see coming

Ah I know, but I need it on day one and the grant cannot be applied retrospectivly.
We have feelers out but the general idea is I'll have to cover this and go for grants for stairlifts etc
