@ColinN66652 @CorkGourmetGuy why can’t everyone have lower cost diesel and petrol?

@CorkGourmetGuy Subsidizing means when the government pays part of the cost. In this case they just remove part of the tax. Also what exactly do you think farmers produce? Green diesel supports lower food costs for everyone

Remember that these farmers who are protesting about the cost of diesel at the garage forecourt are actually, even now, paying about €1.60 a litre for their already heavily subsidised diesel that your taxes are funding. #fuelprotests

@rtenews lol wut

The Labour Court has recommended that a Waterford city builders’ provider and DIY retailer pay its 80 staff a cumulative €48,000 as "a gesture of goodwill" in return for using a new in-store two-way radio communication system rte.ie/news/business/…

@JuhaV1rtala @YourAnonNews when the drive to electric is completed, they will come for electricity prices too

@YourAnonNews There is a reason why I've driven EV since 2022. During the night cost of electric is around 0,02€/kWh + transfer 0,04€/kWh+tax 0,03€/kWh= 0,09€/kWh. 160km drive tomorrow to visit relatives will cost me 0,09€/kWh x 0,2kWh/km x 160km= 2,88€ so around 3,3$/100miles...

vamos!

bagged a stack for day 2. Here we go…

here we go…

@m_brosnan nicely done. I always find the stats side of the game super interesting

@jonnychip Thanks. I do it myself. Sometimes I prefer when I’m not working at a game, can actually watch it properly without having to do a report 😅

Down kickout in the first half: 90%. Second half: 38%. Wexford at half-time decide to put four on Burns' right and bring goalkeeper out on left. Force him out and win the breaks. They had to go for broke. Took a big risk and it nearly paid off x.com/m_brosnan/stat…

@dublin_damo Very odd for water in Dublin to Wexford area to flood, is there something out on the coast?!

Liffey starting to overflow, not sure I've ever seen it this rough.

Last September I announced mandatory return-to-office. Five days a week. I called it a "culture-first initiative." Culture means presence. Presence means badge swipes. Badge swipes mean metrics. Metrics mean I can prove something to the board. I don't know what. But I can prove it. The announcement went out on a Tuesday. I sent it from my home office. In Aspen. I have an exemption. "Strategic leaders require location flexibility to maintain global perspective." I wrote that policy. HR approved it. HR approves everything I write. By Wednesday, 340 employees had updated their LinkedIn status to "Open to Work." I called it "natural attrition." Natural attrition means they quit before I had to pay severance. Very natural. We lost 47 engineers in the first month. I told the board it was "alignment correction." The people who left weren't aligned. With coming to an office. That I also don't come to. But that's different. I'm strategic. The office costs $4.2 million per year. Empty, it was a write-off. Now it's a "collaboration hub." I measured collaboration. Average daily Zoom calls from the office: 7.4 per employee. They commute 45 minutes. To take calls they could take from home. But now they're "present." Presence is culture. I've never been more certain of anything. A senior engineer asked why we couldn't stay remote. She had metrics. Productivity was up 23% during remote work. I said, "Productivity isn't everything." She asked what else mattered. I said, "Serendipitous collisions." She asked how we measure serendipitous collisions. I said, "You can't. That's what makes them serendipitous." She stopped asking questions. Then she stopped showing up. Then LinkedIn said she's at a company that's "remote-first." Good luck with that. They'll learn. We installed badge tracking software. It cost $380,000. It tells me exactly when people arrive. And when they leave. And how long they spend in each zone. I check it every morning. From home. The data is fascinating. Average arrival time: 9:47 AM. Average departure time: 4:12 PM. I sent a Slack message. "Core hours are 9 to 6." Arrival times shifted to 9:02 AM. Departure times shifted to 6:01 PM. Productivity did not change. But the metrics look better. Metrics are culture. We have a "hybrid" option now. Three days in office. Mandatory Monday. Mandatory Wednesday. Mandatory Friday. That's called "hybrid." Because Tuesday and Thursday are optional. But there are "anchor meetings" on Tuesday and Thursday. Attendance is "strongly encouraged." "Strongly encouraged" means mandatory without the liability. I learned that from legal. The head of product asked if he could work from home when his wife had surgery. I said, "Of course. Family comes first." Then I said, "But let's revisit your Q4 performance targets." He came to the office. His wife understood. I assume. I didn't ask. That's personal. The CFO asked about ROI on the RTO policy. I showed him the badge data. "Presence is up 340%." He asked if revenue was up. I said, "Revenue is a lagging indicator." He asked what the leading indicator was. I said, "Badge swipes." He nodded. The lease renews next year. Seven more years. $29 million committed. We needed bodies in the building. Now we have bodies. Fewer than before. But present. Morale is down. Glassdoor says we're "hostile to work-life balance." I told HR to respond. They wrote, "We're a high-performance culture that values in-person collaboration." That's corporate for "the review is accurate." But it sounds like a rebuttal. The CEO asked if RTO was working. I said, "Absolutely." He asked for evidence. I showed him a photo of the office. Full desks. Glowing monitors. Bodies in chairs. He smiled. "This is what culture looks like." It looked like a stock photo. Because I got it from a stock photo website. The real office has 40% occupancy on a good day. But he doesn't know that. He's also remote. We're both strategic. Next quarter I'm proposing a "collaboration bonus." $2,000 for anyone with 95% badge-in compliance. The bonus costs less than the turnover. And it shifts the narrative. We're not forcing people to come in. We're "incentivizing presence." Incentivizing means paying people to do something they don't want to do. It's different from mandating. Legally. The employees who stayed are "loyal." Loyalty means they have mortgages. And kids in school districts. And RSUs that haven't vested. They're not loyal. They're trapped. But on paper, it looks like loyalty. And paper is what the board sees. I've been doing this for 22 years. I know what culture looks like. It looks like butts in seats. Butts in seats mean control. Control means management. Management means me. RTO isn't about productivity. It never was. It's about seeing people. So I know they exist. So I know they're working. So I know I'm in charge. That's culture. As long as the badge swipes go up and to the right.

@movementcoachkm what about Bray Wanderers pitch?

Great to see Killkenny refuse to play on a 3G. Absolute madness to play IC Hurling on Astro. This is the problem we now have with the over reliance on Astro and the over protection of grass pitch’s. They are dangerous injury wise at any time of the year, the energy cost of running on 4G v Grass is significantly higher, well over 10%. The cost of changing direction could as much as 25%. Do that 50-150 times a game. It matters. Most 4G will have to be uprooted in the next 5-10 years and replaced. All 3G probably already have to change (depending on rubber used). Sand based pitches are not that hard to maintain. Overall the costs aren’t that different over the period but more importantly you are maintaining the integrity of the competitions and reducing injuries. A game of Gaelic Football now on 4G with the new rules is just a completely different sport. The energy costs are off the charts. In some cases already I am aware of Sigerson level players playing a league game on 4G and the next night training for 2 hours with an IC team. That will absolutely end in tears. Added to that the advantages big clubs have now in Gaelic Football with athletic pick is compounded by the advantage of practicing on 4G where most other teams practice on grass. It’s an unbelievable advantage and anyone watching the difference or has an understanding of running power and skills will get this. 4G has some uses training wise (but you will always have to reduce your training). But constant use and the change in surface to grass is the major injury issue. There is already a gigantic injury epidemic in this off season with IC Football. Let’s not add to it

@SenseiChanning @dklappin hey she wasn’t wrong!

@dklappin "Biggest bluffer in London" she stated. Cheers for that. I laughed out loud, felt I couldn't be cross. Instant call followed by me hitting the flush.

“If I shove in early position and the button starts commenting on my range with two players left to act, The Floor will always give a warning whereas it should be a snap penalty.” I wrote an article about my biggest bugbear in poker - influencing action. legaluspokersites.com/blogs/influenc…

@Gerry_Flan93 yes was thinking of the Dublin commuter belt

@jonnychip Definitely an issue but more so in urban areas I would I think

My column (rant) this week on how difficult it is to get anyone to volunteer their time to help out these days. A serious issue unless it's tackled. mayonews.ie/news/gaa/19574…

If David Lynch did world cup draws

@Oluwamiotobi @FabrizioRomano @TheAthleticFC wtf are you talking about. He has been so bad this season he will be lucky to be offered a contract renewal

Real Madrid pulling out is HUGE for Liverpool, but why now? This screams either he's staying, or they've lined up someone even bigger for 2026! Who is the ONE CB Liverpool MUST sign if Konaté rejects the new deal? And does this give #LFC fans confidence he's staying? #TransferNews #YNWA #RealMadrid

🚨🇫🇷 Real Madrid have informed Liverpool that they won’t proceed with Ibrahima Konaté deal for 2026. After having Konaté on shortlist for long time, deal off — reports @TheAthleticFC. Konaté, still discussing new deal at Liverpool. Proposal on the table, no final decision yet.

@elainemd83 @Graeme91eire @jezzadixon yes, racist scumbags running rampant

@jonnychip @Graeme91eire @jezzadixon There was a reason the riots happened!

Papi's street food in Finglas.. a family run business destroyed overnight by local scumbags. I wonder if any of the local "keep ireland safe" gang have condemned this arson attack?? There's a go fund me link in the comments

@Graeme91eire @jezzadixon like people didn’t just burn out a Luas and a Garda car that time during the Dublin riots? Scumbags don’t need a reason

@jezzadixon Well , do you know what happened? Why it was burned out? People don't just burn things out. An altercation clearly took place so yad have to find out what happened before you start pointing fingers
