Coincidentally I just ran a speed test as you were typing. 42Mbps. Perfectly happy with what I’m getting. It’s more than enough for when I’m out and about.

Ireland. €10 / around $11 USD a month for unlimited everything.

Limited to a 4G data connection. 15 a month if I want to move to 5G but I haven’t had any real need for the extra speed since I’m mostly using WiFi.

Edit: just ran a speed test there. 42Mbps on the mobile connection.

Z is painted on much of the Russian war kit. It’s their equivalent of a swastika.

Married 20 years and also a serial monogamist and this is great advice IMO.

I don’t have a “one that got away” either and I’m madly in love with my wife but yeah… I definitely could have had more fun. Get out there.

4 times extra but five times total to reach the equivalent.

Edit: just to be extra clear in the comment I’d be getting 2:30 with just one press of the +30 button

Try the numbers if you have them. I recently discovered that hitting 2 instantly starts 2 minutes then +30 saves me having to press +30 five times for the equivalent.

I was starting to worry about how much abuse my +30 button could take.

I’m convinced Thailand is super chill because everyone there is good at fighting. It’s literally their national sport.

Monero is built as a privacy first crypto. Essentially it’s like cash in many ways. You spend it in the shop and nobody knows where the cash you’re handing over came from. When you get your change at the till you know nothing about who had the cash before you that you just got handed. It’s just money.

This is all handled by a bunch of very complex cryptography. If it comes to it there are ways to prove you sent the money etc but only you have that capability to decide to share.

I feel like Ireland is still mostly reasonable despite some recent nonsense. Elections just got called yesterday so I may eat my words in three weeks but I don’t think so. The extremists were roundly rejected in the recent European elections which was comforting.

Thanks will check then out.

If you get the chance, Sylvan Esso are incredible live. Seen them a few times now.

Shambles. :)

I’m gonna grasp at that being positive. My favourite band at a ripe old age, Sylvan Esso, are from NC.

Honestly surprised that 16% of Irish voters would go trump but 84% Harris is pretty solid.

Did you get your sausage?

I think you hold the record so far!

Edit: also fair play to you for sticking it out.

They cheat to win however they can.

From the outside looking it it does appear that way but it seems so…un-American. I’ve spent a decent bit of time over there over the course of my life (north of 6 months total, mostly up and down both coasts) and I’m genuinely very fond of the US and its people and that has given me this internal sense of what “un-American” is if that isn’t a ludicrous statement.

The whole “rig things to your advantage” thing is really mask off at this point and I’m surprised that it’s tolerated.

Huh, we’ve been to the polls a lot recently, haven’t we?

It does feel that way. Not sure if it’s foreign elections getting more coverage than they did before maybe shifting the balance in my head.

poll workers actually came out and designated someone as the last voter

I did wonder about this. That’s cool to know and seems like a fair way to run it if you’re in the line before the station closes. Thanks for the insight.

Awesome about Rosario Dawson too!

That’s an interesting one. I live in a small town (~10K). It’s a fairly middle-class suburb of Dublin and the only place I’ve ever voted (but many times). Makes me curious if it’s different in other neighbourhoods.

GOOD GOD!!!
