I had a brief look through this this morning and can only agree with Simon. Even the most cursory look throuh it left me with loads of criticisms (more than enough to fill up the 2000 character limits to the responses) You really should put in your own objections too

Just got tickets for Metallica next year. Two nights for 160 quid. Considering the prices I've seen charged for other gigs that's actually not bad. And in my old age went for the seated option.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

Had a dream the other night where I was trying to integrate VideoPlus codes into torrent trackers. Still not convinced it was a terrible idea, if about 20 years too late.

Think tonight might be the longest I've gone between a band's gigs. 31 years I think since I last saw Terrorvision. Don't remember any show since Sunstroke in Dalymount.

It could also come in on budget and transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city. But where would be the shock value in that headline.

As if a robot would ever want to renew a TV Licence. Pretty sure that's against Asimov's 2nd law or something.

One week on from Spain's blackout - and media outlets can talk about is solar power. So I decided to look into Spain's nuclear fleet, and discovered that in April, it was operating at its lowest levels in ten years Why? Here's a hefty piece digging into that, for you: ketanjoshi.co/2025/05/05/w...

Missed that Pearl Jam released a double live album end of last year, recorded in 1994 with all the hits from the first two albums. It's like being a teenager all over again.

I thought Don't Look Back In Ongar was the last bit of the Ross O'Carroll Kelly story. I guess they've brought him out of retirement.

I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.

Spotify DJ algo needs more work. In the middle of a set with Gracie Adams, Sabrina Carpenter, and Taylor Swift it decided to lob in an Opeth track. Worked for me, but the 11 year old girls in the car didn't appreciate it.

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Nonbinary people are non binary. Trans rights are human rights. And everyone has the right to be, and be loved, as they are.

Cool, sounds like we should be putting vastly more state resources into the rollout of renewables so, right #Spéirgorm?

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

No matter how cool their jerseys and logo are, I can't forgive Quins for Bloodgate. I hope we put big score on them. No 6-5 victory today. Cmon Leinster!

Europe is such a tough place to do business. Here we see a French Court completely devaluing a previously valuable asset into which the Russian government invested millions.

🚨 Our calculations show Irish solar output may have reached a new all-time high earlier today of approximately 950MW. That doesn't include the micro-generation - just the larger scale solar farms 🔅 We'll have more confidence in this once the weekend's figures are published late tomorrow afternoon!
