@Niall_Boylan Tow the European narrative - has to ensure he gets a job somewhere after

Well there you have it, the leader of a country believes boys can become girls and visa versa.
Yes he’s right it’s a sensitive issue when a child is confused. Confused because schools, society and the leader of the country are affirming they can magically transform their sex.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirms he believes that children can be transgender, but says he doesn't want to be drawn into "culture wars like they have in the UK": Gript - "Do you believe that a child can be transgender?" Taoiseach Micheál Martin - "Yes - I do believe [that]."

@Nick_Delehanty Add in the fact he couldn’t handle one of these tasks 😂🤦🏿♀️

Simon Harris has too much on his plate.
He's juggling:
Fine Gael Leader,
Tánaiste,
Taoiseach in waiting
with the most important Ministry in the Country.
How can he possibly have a grip on the State's Finances while out visiting schools, running around canvassing or visiting building sites.
Sure, these are all great photo ops. His battalion of media advisors worked hard to arrange.
But the worst energy crisis in history is about to hit the world. Its time to get serious.
Simon, get your feet under a desk and focus on substance.

"My preoccupation is the fact that online there is an effort day in, day out to convince you your government works against you and to spread misinformation" Another cringe video from the TikTok Tánaiste at a school in Co. Louth. He is paranoid the "far-right" are corrupting the young minds of Ireland.

@paulmaddendotie I agree with you what’s the alternative? There is none

92 TDs have confidence in govt. Why wouldn't they? A life of luxury in a job without consequences.
- Fuel price increases are covered by expenses
- Their expenses are paid by taxpayers
- They are out of pocket exactly €0
- They have 6-figure salaries and gilt-edged pensions to absorb price increases as this crisis worsens
- Their calamitous management of this country doesn't impact them
Full confidence, in themselves, to keep the gravy train rollin' on.
Anyone who voted for @fiannafailparty and @FineGael made a rod for their own backs, I hope they learn because the writing has been on the wall for a long time. These EU middle-managers don't give a fiddlers about the electorate.
These full-confidence gombeens will bleed you dry and continue to deliver sweet FA. ZERO accountability.
Lessons will be learned? The lessons will only get harder.

@Mike_kim714 Enjoyed watching you. Think the tour needs more par 5’s like 18

Thoughts from Valero:
-T2! I’m proud of the finish but even more so from the way I did it. I went through a super hot stretch but while finishing round 3, I felt my driver swing going in a bad direction. In yrs past, after the 9th hole in rd 4, I prob would have finished 10th at best. Ive learned what happens in my swing when I struggle like this and I was able to piece it back together and make a run towards the end.
-18th hole was playing so tough. I hit a really good driver, 3wd then had to hit a PW from 100 yds. It wasn’t adrenaline that made me hit it over the back, the wind laid down a bit, or the wind was covered by the stands too much. Tommy also hit PW from very similar spot but came up well short. I needed to make birdie to PW was the only choice. It was actually a sick bunker shot for a tap in par.
-The swing I made on 16 with a 5i, is something I’m going to remember for a long time. It was so flush, it looked perfect as soon as I looked up and was an absolute dart when I really needed it.
-I’ve actually never liked TPC SA tbh. It’s a windy, desert golf where you can be re-teeing pretty quick. I decided to play because I wanted to play the week before the Masters and I sure am glad I did. Tiring week but obviously well worth it!

@rtenews 130 buses @ ~€500k each
This was close to a €100m project. How can a group adults get this so wrong?

The chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said a "serious litany of failures" led to more than 130 State-funded electric double-decker buses remaining unused because there is nowhere to charge them

@MaiaDunphy 2 of you would give a disprin a headache

@PaulTreyvaud @MaiaDunphy My guess is = both bellends 😝

Ah @MaiaDunphy
The great thing about telling the truth is you never need to remember what you said.
You joined us at our table and stayed with us for over two hours and we all actually had a great night. But feel free to make up nonsense. I’m not sure what has happened you and I genuinely hope you are ok. I can even tell the story that was told about ‘expected to become a priest!’ There were hugs good bye, but hey, whatever
We all laughed but, like I said, you feel free to spread whatever lie you want. I’m not too sure what you hope to gain from this but I really hope you find happiness soon.

@Nick_Delehanty Zero political benefits for any of our dail sitters to try something this ambitious even though it is the future

@amateur_info Yes when the lads at that level know how to game the system to keep their handicap low enough to get in. Eg not play their home course (a lot) if the slope is too penal.

@the_zb_ “But if it was my cars in p1 & 2 I’d be grand with it”
English

My initial visceral reaction to the race has subsided. I admit I had a very strong negative reaction to what I saw. I’m calmer now. But that doesn’t mean several of the points don’t still stand.
Here’s how I’m feeling:
The race weekend, to me, had “allure value” because it was analyzing something new and it was the first time we saw the cars racing in earnest. But that isn’t the same as “race spectacle” value. I don’t think it had the latter, mainly due to the behavior of the cars. The “allure” value won’t sustain things for very long.
Do I think it was a good race? Personally not my cup of tea. I don’t like how this formula seems destined to be extremely predicated on management. Will it be worse on some tracks than others? Very likely yes. But that will still characterize these cars unless changes are made.
What we saw in reality is that the energy starvation mostly removed the opportunity for later braking moves, and for driver skill to make a difference in the high speed. Both of those things seem to be “off limits” due to harvesting needs. When I see that, it does make me feel like a core facet of F1 is just gone. It’s telling when you get two drivers with similar cars and a Tyre offset like Norris and Verstappen, and unlike we would’ve seen in GE, absolutely nothing happened because there wasn’t enough energy for anything to happen.
Lots of “overtakes”… but is that honestly what they were? I feel this is a strategically inflated number, and I’m not at all shocked that F1 is promoting and highlighting that. It was predominantly state-of-charge position swapping, as drivers realized they could dump the battery to get ahead, but had no hope of staying there if they did so. With a few genuine moves sprinkled in. Some people may like this, but I personally don’t yet find it enjoyable. It hindered my enjoyment of seeing cars go W2W.
Is it a new type of W2W? I suppose you could say that. But it feels more like a cat and mouse management game. I have zero desire for that to be such a huge part of the sport, I want to see a deeper level of unbridled aggression in the driving. The PU is what is currently holding that back, because the chassis seems better suited to it now.
The “battles” on track looked very very different, due to everyone having to mostly converge on harvesting and deployment methods. It caused all but 2-3 engagements to be very lackluster and fizzle out.
One positive - right now, the cars can follow more closely with less detriment than the 2025 cars. It feels like 2022 again. But just like then, the teams will surely be figuring out more aero tricks that generate outwash and turbulence that will push this in the “negative” direction, because that’s always how it plays out with aero.
Qualifying, to me, was the worst part. I didn’t enjoy a single bit of watching super clipping and harvesting in high speed corners, on a flying lap that had to be built around energy constraints. This is akin to saying “we are going to put just enough fuel in the car for you to go hard in throttle about 80% of the time, now you decide.” I just absolutely do not like anything about that.
Could Australia have been further down the “worst case scenario” end of the spectrum than other tracks? Yeah, probably so.
I’m calmer. But my general impressions don’t really change - I think this is a generally poor regulation set that is bound by physics constraints, and they need to respond with some quick adjustments.
