There are about two people on here who wouldn't say "fuck Henry Kissinger".

What a massive load of shite. The fucking smell of boot polish off your breath is disgusting.

Jog on.

Lol. It is, in fact, the bootstraps. You were right all along.

Edit: I know we're having a laugh here but that whole bootstraps thing does seem very harsh from the outside. Like I've spent a lot of time in the US (more than 6 months over the course of my life over various trips) and I'm genuinely very fond of the place, but the whole lack of social support structure does seem kinda ruthless from the outside looking in.

You jest, but the average Irish junkie just isn't as enterprising as the average American one. :D

I've no history degree but this all smells very similar to the late Roman Republic to me. The cult of personality, purges of those not loyal to the right person etc etc.

He doesn't need money

No but as I said in another comment he's a money hungry cunt. We all are to an extent but there comes a point of wealth for a small subset of humans beyond which adding zeros to your bank balance is what's fuelling you. They can't stop themselves.

He is one of that small subset IMO.

Seriously though, the truth is that trump is 80 and he will statistically die relatively soon

I can't recommend Mike Duncan's "The History of Rome" podcast enough. The cult of personality is what led to the fall of the republic and the similarities to our current predicament are more than a bit disconcerting.

MAGA and the idea of challenging elections by force will never go away.

Mmmmmm. He's a money hungry cunt so I don't think so.

I feel like if Harris paid him enough he'd turn on a dime.

Seems like a good time to take the manipulated odds and go for Harris. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah we had something similar here for a while. "Head shops" were selling bath salts and spice and what not.

The government struggled to catch up because the next analogue was ready to go the second any ban came in.

Eventually they brought out what was essentially a "fuck this shit" piece of legislation. Was a good few years ago now. More than ten if memory serves. It all shut down overnight.

Things are way more regulated here though in general (Ireland). I can't even buy melatonin over the counter which honestly is both stupid and annoying.

Edit: We do still have the good sudafed though. One with two paracetamol is great for a hangover. :)

Thanks.

Crazy stuff.

The drug's true identity emerged after researchers figured out it's a type of opioid — one that does, in fact, work in a way that's similar to heroin

Aptly named at least. Honestly was not expecting actual opiates for sale with petrol.

What is gas station heroin if you wouldn't mind filling me in?

 

Mine have built a decent number of very small scratches and they're getting annoying so I'd like to get rid if at all possible.

I've seen various things suggested including:

  • lens scratch repair kit (reviews don't look great on amazon)
  • baking soda paste
  • non-abrasive toothpaste
  • furniture polish (temporarily fills in the scratch from what I can tell)

I'm reluctant to try any of them without some first hand accounts. No lens coating on these so no worries there.

Thank you in advance!

edit: I just want to say thanks very much to everyone. I ended up getting my prescription emailed to me and buying a new pair for €17 (about $19 USD) delivered on a site that one helpful poster linked. Looks like they will take about 3 weeks to get here so I'll put up with the scratchy ones until they get here.

When they do arrive I will take some pictures and test the various methods I found online then post up what works and what wrecks the lenses.

 

The stories from this trip are wild. edit: It was a school trip.

 

The sale of disposable vapes is set to be banned under proposals going to Cabinet.

The Minister for Health is expected to get Government approval to draft these laws which will ban the sale, manufacture or import of single-use or disposable vapes in Ireland.

Stephen Donnelly plans to introduce this ban on environmental and public health grounds.

Absolutely fascinating stuff. The power of social engineering, charm and confidence by two very young kids is mind blowing. Some very funny bits in it too.

For those not in the know: England are facing Spain in the final of the Euro football championship.

 

This is a year old but I'd never come across it before.

 
 
 

Keen to hear any novel ideas (or just the humdrum of your weekend).

Planning on watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and / or Star Trek Voyager with the 10 year old myself. Going on a decent hike and playground with the gang also in the mix.

The usual sports stuff.
