Netanyahu has gone to Greece – flew in this morning – he’s apparently in hiding or so I’ve read.

One of my client sites has a 50/50 mix of Filipinos and Europeans. What I note about the Filipinos is that they are laid back even when working hard, which is always and yet they are always smiling and joking.  I brought in some Ube Halaya for someone’s birthday recently. When I told them the name of the shop I got it in (in Dublin) they started…[Read more]

Around 2001 I had a short-term contract where I managed a project for Xerox to install several printers in a large company in Belfast, across 3 sites. My contact on their side was a Unionist who made it very clear to me that he hated people from “the South”. He did not actually say anything directly to me but we both instinctively knew which “tr…[Read more]

I think the nationalities are not the primary reason that they are being attacked. It is the fact that they are “not us”. These communities have been very insular and unchanged for centuries and are very conservative in their outlook. This has made them very tribal and any “outsider” is seen as a potential threat to destabilizing their social and…[Read more]

I think Queen Elizabeth I caused a shed-load of trouble.

I know very few Irish people that really want to have Ulster “rejoin” the rest of Ireland. We are happy with the current situation so long as the peace process holds. Any attempts at reunification will probably mean a return of the paramilitaries on both sides. (As Gerry Adams said about the IRA, “They haven’t gone away, you know”) The zeitgeist…[Read more]

Which men came out onto the streets to protest in any of these cases or to vent their feelings? None.

“We’ll abuse our own women, thank you very much.”  That’s a very informative answer Reg.  What did you mean by

very few Irish people want to “get Ulster back”.

Ballymena has historically been known as part of Northern Ireland’s “Bible Belt”, with strong Protestant churches and Unionist figures like Ian Paisley having deep roots in the town. It is very much a Unionist stronghold, culturally and historically aligned with British political identity. The recent unrest has been largely driven by Bally…[Read more]

I know about 8 people who work for multinational companies who have turned down opportunities to work in the USA recently and opted to  stay in Ireland or go to a different country instead. 4 of them are US citizens and said they will reconsider in 3.5 years’ time. But will it be too late by then for President Newsom and VP Buttigieg to repair the damage?

Mine will be beryllium mirrors with a gold coating, just like the ones on the JWST. But it all depends on the wavelengths. Keep them varied and have fried goy for sure..

I will cover the outside of my spaceship with mirrors. Take that, space lasers!

Thanks, Reg!

Have great week!!

I put it down to the sexual competition between males. That’s why they are slightly larger.

I’ve shown this before.  Pre-human australopithecine males had enormous canines compared with females, until they abruptly became almost even when the human ancestor arrived, 4-6 million years ago.

Human males are a lot le…[Read more]

The great bulk of violence, gun violence included, is perpetrated by the male gender.

That’s true.  Most violence comes from men.  I put it down to the sexual competition between males.  That’s why they are slightly larger.

Occam’s Razor cuts those strings easily. One Universe with lots of unknowns is the best catch-all.

I don’t buy Occam’s Razor all the time.  I think it’s artificial.  Something’s the way it is, not necessarily the simplest way.

You could elimlinate almost all gun violence in America by simply forbidding anyone with an X chromosome to own or have access to firearms.

Do you mean a Y chromosome?  XX, XY?  I see your point: gun violence is almost exclusively male.

So hypothetically a scientific theory emerges and a consensus forms that a many worlds ‘reality’ is as solid as Darwin’s game changer.

Surely we can never know.  But wasn’t there a story about another universe that had bumped into ours?

Umm, I know it sounds hokey, but like worm-holes abide in another dimension, dude.

Is it not possible to connect two points by travelling in a higher dimension?  I’m not sure.  A two-dimensional plane can be folded within three dimensions, we can connect two 3-d points by travelling in time.  I’m pretty sure that if you go up a…[Read more]
