In Ireland this is $20.74 worth of petrol.

2.943 US gallons is 11.14 litres. At €1.75 per litre, that’s €19.50.

Petrol hasn’t been under a euro in decades…

Does this guy shout “IT’S WESSEL-BERG!!” every time someone calls him weasel-berg?

Ok, I haven’t thought about The Dead Milkmen in 25 years it so, but this immediately reminded me of Sarah Jane

I’m sorry but this OSS wrong on so many levels.

This aircraft is 9 years old. It is a B737-800. Boeing’s responsibility ended when it was delivered. Southwest are responsible for all maintenance and inspection since then.

There is only one manufacturer of engines for the 737NG type, CFM. The engine itself may go back to them for maintenance as they do run overhaul shops. But they are extremely reliable engines. And this engine didn’t fail, the panels came off.

This is not an engine failure. This is more likely some poor young fella forgot to clip the cowlings shut after preflight checks.

And the French Fries

Critical Systems Engineering? Sounds expensive. Nah fuck that, let’s write the code in VB6 and stick it on an unsecured Windows NT box.

Absolutely, I have no problem with the intent of the proposal, just the wording was lazy and too open to abuse.

The care one however was awful. That would need a total rework before I’d consider a yes.

For me, the lack of a definition of a durable relationship was the killer. How do you know if you’re in one? What if one person thinks they are and the other doesn’t? Do you have to break up every six months or so to avoid creating one?

And definitely the care referendum was just stupid. The state will “strive” to provide care? My dude I’m striving to levitate right now, but mysteriously fuck all seems to be happening in real life.

I shall name them George and Kuato.

I think you meant, ear ear, wots all this about then.

This was in Ireland, and she was in the local newspaper after winning a tree-tossing competition…

Let me tell you that Linux-based IFE may be based on open source, but it sure as shit ain’t free.

Well this is Lemmy, so i know this will probably get at least 60% of you:

Its been a long road…

“If you are interested in getting help with child abuse, here are some resources”

Hi ChildHelp, can you help me kick the shit out of some kids please?

There’s meant to be a fada over the a (á), so it’s definitely meant to be a longer vowel sound.

Take the name Sean for example. Spelled like that it’s actually pronounced shan, and means old. The name that we all pronounce as Shawn is actually spelled Seán

Company I used to work for got hit fairly bad. Am email came in from the contract agency to the accounts payable clerk, personally addressed to her and signed off all informal like, to the effect of “hey Marion, our local bank branch is closing so we’ve had to move our accounts, can you update the IBAN to the following for me?”

€150,000 down a black hole, that wasn’t even noticed until a phone call came in a week later.

Wait wait wait. Your butter has flavouring added? Like, I realise I’m spoiled here in Ireland, but fuck mei can’t even picture what that might be
