This just takes me a to a login page for Art19.com - is there something I'm missing here??

Incase anyone else is a wikipedia searcher like me, want to point out there's no 'R' in the historic colony.

Acadia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia

Wanted to save other people time searching it up too

That's not true (as somebody who had to do this last year in 2024 because I was traveling in another country for work on election day)

Here is the form to register for postal voting in the Republic of Ireland - https://www.dublincity.ie/sites/default/files/2024-01/pv4-wo...

Instructions on how to submit the form / register for mail-in votes is on page 4.

Hope that helps anyone else out who needs in Ireland

I'm not sure why you're being down-voted... But here's two credible sources:

Reuters estimates the deaths at 60,000 [ https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-many-palestini... ]

The UN estimates it to be at about 65,000 [ https://www.ochaopt.org/content/reported-impact-snapshot-gaz... ]

Neither of which are around 600 thousand as the previous commenter posted. The French News Channel called France24 did a quick video explaining the current fake news that certain NGOs are spreading with misleading death counts -- https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20250624-...

Vuity is just Pilocarpine -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilocarpine

Not something that is recommended for ordinary bad vision - as it mostly works to treat eye pressure (one particular type of age related vision correction).

It's interesting as it causes a divide amongst EBU members for Eurovision - besides Ireland (in OP), Iceland ( https://www.ruv.is/english/2025-09-09-iceland-may-not-take-p... ) and Spain ( https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2025/09/11/spain-thr... ) have also stated their intention to boycott if Israel participates.

>hope more countries join in

By the looks of it, besides Ireland (in OP), Iceland ( https://www.ruv.is/english/2025-09-09-iceland-may-not-take-p... ) and Spain ( https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2025/09/11/spain-thr... ) have also stated their intention to boycott.

> In all honesty all this thread is people complaining about something they don't have a clue about.

Considering that I saw the same uproar on 4 major travel blogs: Thrifty Traveller (who originally reported this), One Mile at a time, Enilria and View from the Wing.

I'd hardly call it people complaining about something they don't have a clue about.

This pricing practice of charging more for solo travellers is new, deceptive and even travel bloggers who are thought leaders are upset by this.

Some would say that the difference is the USA (for now at least) has a free press?

> He is credited with a powered hop of 11 m (36 ft) made on 18 March 1906

Revisionist History like this fascinates me.

It is very well documented, with written texts, witnesses and even a handful of photographs that the Wright brothers had functional manned aircraft 3 years prior in 1903...

Yet I've personally seen Romanian postal stamps that credit Vuia with "the first flight" for him managing to jump just 11m (36 ft) in a plane.

> US oil companies like ExxonMobile

Is that the same ExxonMobile that was caught in a bribery corruption scandal in Liberia in Africa? [1]

Or perhaps you're talking about the same ExxonMobile that was caught bribing government officials in Kazakhstan in Asia? [2]

This reminds me of the CNN Lite website -- https://lite.cnn.com/

Yes, it's a popular 'mileage-run' route. Aka a flight routing that frequent flyers take solely for the purposes of gaining more miles/status

>Ford has no compact hatchback or sedan in the U.S., only the Brazilian built EcoSport. They killed all their cars in favour of CUVs and SUVs.

Have I got some bad news for you... It seems the EcoSport is also dead ( https://www.ford.com/suvs-crossovers/ecosport/ )

I'm not OP but John Oliver had a pretty good episode about hospitals, organ donation organisations and even non-profits, all benefit from a opaque system intentionally designed to hide where bodies go when "disposed" -- Here's a youtube link to the episode (may be blocked in certain regions due to copyright) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn7egDQ9lPg

Let's set the record straight. Here's an article that is well cited, with sources all linked within, from the Economic Policy Institute.

https://www.epi.org/blog/immigrants-are-not-hurting-u-s-born...

>1) The unemployment rate for U.S.-born workers is the lowest rate on record ( 3.6% )

>2) The rate of U.S.-born individuals aged 25–54 with a job is at its highest rate in more than two decades

>3) Immigrants only make up 18.6% of the labor force.

By any metric you look at , it become obviously clear that immigration is not causing high unemployment among U.S.-born workers.

Am I the only one who thought this article reads like an ad for the spyware software? It name drops them, advertises them (see quotes below) and even includes screenshots of their website (with the product for sale) in the article...

> pcTattletale develops spyware apps for Android and Windows and both apps require physical access to a target’s device to install. pcTattletale provides its Windows spyware app as a one-click download that can be installed in a few seconds, according to TechCrunch’s own tests and analysis of the spyware.

> pcTattletale also offers a service called “We Do It For You,” which the company says will help install the spyware on the target’s computer on the customer’s behalf.

It was this I believe -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40281699

I can't answer most of your comment's questions, but to just answer the first point - it's about cost of labor.

Tata motors are made in India. BYD is Chinese. Both involved much lower cost of labor, both from the engineering perspective and the manufacturing too.

Heck, even Tesla themselves have a factory in China and from the most recent figures I could find, their Chinese built Tesla's are 40% cheaper than the American built Teslas -- https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/electric-vehicl...

Wow that's wild, I'm not OP but I've also got this exact situation.

I watched a couple of old Dave Chapelle clips and then suddenly had a bunch of videos from the Taylor Tomlinson all recommended to me repeatedly, even though I had never heard of her before...

"part time jobs should have to come with the same benefits as full time, by law."

All this does is eliminate more jobs.

In your hypothetical scenario, a company that hires 2 or 3 people part-time would need to do health insurance for each of them, benefits for each of them and the additional full-time equivalent paperwork for each of them...

In that scenario, the company would end up just hiring 1 person full-time for the hours, and have much less added overhead costs.

This would lead to higher unemployment, because now instead of 3 people being employed part-time, only 1 person is employed.

Where's the good in that? Maybe I'm just not seeing it from my perspective, if anyone else can chime in?

> People like you

> But please talk more about that evil right wing news outlet

What on earth are you on about? "people like me" "evil right wing news" ?!

I have not referenced anything as either right or left wing. Nor did I mention anything of mine or anyone else's political leanings.

I cited my theory including several sources that show it to be factual that this television personality's employers gained several millions by causing the bank's share price to drop.

Yet you seem to be deploying personal attacks rather than finding fault with my core assumptions.

> recently a famous politician in the UK got de-banked partly out of his political views

As a person in the UK, who is fairly in touch with the media industry. This is such a non-story. I just want to do my bit to fight disinformation with the real information here :

That FORMER (not current) politician is a TV personality, who works for a TV channel called GB News [1]

GB News is directly managed by Paul Marshall, in a personal capacity (who also operates a hedge fund). [2]

That hedge fund took out short positions against the bank (which means they made bets that the banks share price would fall). In fact they had the largest bet ever against the bank, since records began of short positions. [3]

Coutts is a private bank that is exclusively for high net worth individuals [4]

The TV personality withdraw money from his Coutts account and fell below the minimum balance requirements needed for an account with this private bank (which is £1million or $1.3million in dollars) [5]

The TV channel then made a big splash by announcing that this man's account got closed due to his political positons, rather than the reality of his financial withdrawals. Which cause the banks share price to drop due to the negative media attention. This made a large profit for the hedge fund that had bet against the bank and was managed by the person who owns the TV channel that ran this story [6]

I'm not sure how 100% accurate that list is considering that it only lists SVB for 2023, but not Signature bank, NY that failed on the same day[1].
