A few new prisons would help and reopen garda stations in many rural towns not villages that had theirs closed by Alan shatter and Fine Gael in 2013 - many of those said towns are now controlled by traveller drug gangs not the state

Lots of jail sentences don't significantly slow drugs trade, according to the available data. The jail sentences almost always go to disposable underlings, and they do nothing to stifle demand. Cartels and gangs make their money regardless.

Why not redact it all? Because a personal mistake isn't grounds for redaction. That would make sense, as would timeframe reference given the context.

I think he’s referring to the size (possibly diameter) of a craft (45 feet) recovered prior to the kingman crash/landing.

In a vacuum that would make sense, except that the following message immediately contains a timeframe reference and that timeframe fits (not as far back as 1945, only to 1950).

This is silly.

This has already been refured. Just google the EMdrive, this is literally that repackaged. 

You're speculating. That's possible, but far from a certainty.

1g of thrust would be easily observed and this would be breaking the news harder rhan lk99. 

It would break the news during the first public demonstrations. Prior to that, it's targeted PR to attract investor attention. This is a private company developing proprietary tech and IP, not publicly published research.

I've wondered, after dealing with Boomers in the wild, my own Boomer parents and in-laws, and reading this sub, if the problem with Boomers is because they're Boomers or because they're getting old, or a combination of both.

It's childhood brain damage. Boomers (more or less) were exposed to vaporised lead from leaded gasoline, which caused childhood blood lead levels to skyrocket way, way, way higher than any other generation (5 micrograms would be very bad, the average was 15-20 at the peak). Worse still, those vaporised lead fumes more readily pass the blood brain barrier than, say, eating paint chips.

Who is the other person?

They're SES-2, which is the same pay scale level as the Director of the CIA, the Administrator of NASA, and the Secretary of the Air Force, for reference.

Yeah, it's bleakly depressing about 4 months out of the year. The winter cold also gets into your bones.

Until the show us it actually working they can shut shut up about it.

This sort of PR isn't targeted at you or me, it's targeted at investors who will only be shown the tech if the sign an NDA. 

As a counter counter point, to a conspiracist, any evidence contrary to their position can easily be handwaved as planted false evidence that’s part of the conspiracy. Conspiracies are largely non falsifiable because of this

Also very true. Most conspiracies are empty, but the rare ones that end up being true are fascinating. At this point, to me, this whole topic is just interesting and fun speculation. Great for writing inspiration.

It’s a multi-media franchise now

As a counter point, an effective way to cover up real operations would be to hide them behind a tacky, stupid facade -- that way most people just write it off.

The process is to fly into Ireland, then request asylum as the airport. They won't refuse you given your circumstances.

I'm not friends with any because I've have a hundreds negative experiences living near them. I had a traveller friend i played with when we were little around the estate alright.

This reply supports everything I've said in the thread.

I am sure there are people from the travelling community who are really decent people but they are the small minority.

How would you know? 

Get a prenup signed. Zero harm having one. Potentially a lot if harm without one.

Ireland is very safe, and especially Cork. The city would be best for someone that age. The most important thing is to be on a bus line -- ideally with 24/hr service, because she'll be legal drinking age and will almost certainly go out.

Tucker Carleson is a tool. Ignore him. Don't pay him a single second of attention either way.

they're already 3d printing houses.

Yeah, but that doesn't fit the pop culture form factors that people have been led to imagine by sci-fi films.

Rules of engangement are pretty strict over CONUS. Lasers are still a potental public safety standard, since RF emissions don't obey zoning rules there is a high probablity that it would interfere or damage public equipment, so you are going to limit the total power output of your countermeasures. Even so there are no intengrated air-defence batteries in the US like they have around Moscow or in Israel. CONUS airdefense is almost exclusivily built around geographic isolation and using aircraft for defense. While there are programs to use naval defense systems on land there simply isn't a desire to do so on US soil itself.

If you're suggesting that these are traditional drones, I think you're flat out and obviously wrong. Drone counter measures are ubiquitous in the United States, not just in the military but also in the private security sector.

The US doesn't currently operate SAM sites across the US, a few MANPADs and other SHOARD systems around the nations capital It's a issue that the US wants to

Gillibrand was making a clear point to anyone who able to decode it (which includes AARO BTW).

The idea that this is Russian tech is comical. They can't even maintain their existing tech and infrastructure. 

Enemy or domestic morons flying drones or whatever. It should be a top issue for national defense.

Not civilian drones; those are easily identified and countered.

This is a cultural issue, which is not the same thing as racism. Some cultures clash in major ways with Ireland in terms of cultural values and norms. That's not to say that this sort of behaviour is broadly accepted anywhere -- but it's tolerated to much greater extents in some places than it is in Ireland.

Except housing, pensions, and, increasingly, cost of living versus working class wages.

The cost of living has dropped relatively if you were seeking the same standard of living as 30 years ago. Hear me out.

Oh, joy, we have access to luxury items that we don't need -- but the cost of food and other essentials has increased while wages have stagnated against inflation.

Oh, right, that must be why animals can't surprise and eat each other...

Princess Elizabeth, not queen yet. I'm seeing a lot of crap thrown her way, but the family stayed in London when King George just as easily could've sent his daughters to Canada or even to the countryside to keep them out of harm's way. Buckingham Palace was bombed by the Nazis, so the threat of death during the Blitz was very real, even to them.

Hello, Buckingham Palace PR team.

All propaganda. You'd think they'd teach her to use the tool correctly prior to staging the photo...

"In Ireland, the economic situation is desperate for a lot of people, and there are plenty of people doing work that is harder than sex work -- for a lot less money. The idea that everyone in Ireland has more and better options is plain ignorant."

"Perhaps you'll enlighten me as to what these jobs are that people are currently doing that's worse then sex work?"

"You clearly don't know anything about fire brigade and healthcare jobs. If you think getting paid to have sex with someone is worse than trying to pick up a teenage girl who has self immolated as chunks of her fall off in your hands, then your values are bizarre; same goes for cleaning the brains of a child off your shoes."

You keep asking the question because you keep ignoring my answer that the underlying assumption isn't backed by reality.

Oh, those paint chips tasted so sweet at the time though! 🥴

It was primarily the leaded gasoline. Childhood blood-red levels were astronomical when vaporised lead was everywhere, and it was especially horrible because vaporised lead more readily passes the blood-brain barrier.

That is pretty amazing, and sad. I remember during my childhood leaded being effectively phased out and then finally fully banned by the time I was an adult. I can certainly see how Boomers had MANY more years of exposure. Out of curiosity, is there any way to try and deal with the poisoning in later life, or is the damage already well and truly done? I've heard part of the issue is it getting kind of 'locked up' in bones and then released back into the blood when people age.

Unfortunately, the brain damage happens almost immediately and is irreversible. Chelation therapy can help in cases of acute exposure by ingestion if it's administered quickly, but that wouldn't help anyone who had childhood exposure now that they're adults.

Yeah. Can we just get rid of this shit now? I'm sick of Ireland's equivalent of Boomers. 

Fuck the idiot who chose that music, and also the arseholes who followed him across the field. Very shitty editing.
