I guess the demographics also feed the accommodation problem.

I can't reach the article, but I wonder if growth in Irish students is really driven by lack of accommodation, or just the demographic growth that we're currently part way through? data.gov.ie/dataset/vsa0...

We should totally change it so only 11 seats are elected by political incumbents, and the remaining are elected by ordinary members of the nominating bodies (so that the panels become more like the university seats and have a bigger electorate).

Trying to see if I can spot it here: www.insn.ie/live-spectro... - I'm not sure my eyes are sharp enough.

Sadly, the model didn't include the interior :-)
(For 3D printing, I removed polygons where the corners only had two edges. I raytraced those edges though. The models are stored in a way that's clever, providing you're doing wireframe backface culling!)

In 50 or 100 years, will the exam question be:
- Was Brexit a failure?; or
- Why was Brexit a failure?
Brexiteers are worried it’s already a settled historical narrative that it’s going to be the latter.
And if it’s the former, will it be a misprint? 15/END

It does seem vanishingly unlikely that there wasn't a woman who was better placed to look after Financial Services, Credit Unions and Insurance than a man who was negligently unsure about how many houses he owned.

I love the "Look Around You" maths episode for this feeling. As someone who gets maths ideas relatively easily, it lets me imaging what maths must feel like for people who find it difficult.
