There was a story years ago about some scientists who dropped a box of tablets into a village somewhere that had no previous contact with modern tech. They went back some time later, and the kids had figured out, not only how to use them, but had networked them too. I wonder what ever happened with that, or if it was even true? I suppose I should google it.

Colin Furze has done the same thing in the UK on YouTube. I haven't heard any criticism of him.

To be fair, I don't think anyone had moved in there yet.

There is nothing new here. There has always been a vocal, violent, right leaning minority in Irish society. There have been two instances that have made headlines around the world in the past few weeks that may make it seem like Irish society in general is leaning further to the right. I hope this isn't true.

It didn't work 23 years ago in Tipperary, it won't work now. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/fire-at-hotel-for-asylum-seekers-1.264123

They'll claim the insurance, rebuild the hotel and refugees will move in anyway.

So burn the hotel down?

Heart attack or stroke are usually described by the media as "died suddenly".

There is a journalistic shorthand at work here, "brief illness" usually means something discovered too late to treat, RIP Sir.

If you are old enought to remember this show, you now make noises when you sit down. As a ten year old, this was the coolest truck on TV, the trailer would split open from the top and there was a helicopter hidden inside.
