Thr biggest culture shock in Germany is if you arrange to meet up and you’re late, the other person will wait diligently out in the snow instead of getting a coffee or something. and if they die of exposure that’s you’re fault somehow.

And they’re off. The annual mass escape from Dublin Castle, commemorating the real jailbreak of 1592 by Red Hugh O’Donnell & the O’Neill Brothers. Competitors will cover 62km through the night, across the mountains to Glenmalure Valley. That’s if they make it, unlike Art O’Neill, who died en route.

Fun fact: "Lovers' Walk" in Cork has nothing to do with amorous feelings, but is a jingle-jangle mis-translation of Siúl na Lobhar "lepers' walk", i.e. the area into which leprous people were confined, just like in Lepers' Town.

Good ear people!
Can anyone identify the percussion instrument in the chorus of this song (starts 0:20)? It’s the grooviest thing I ever heard. Sounds like a metal guiro, or someone scraping a cheese grater.
Don’t pay attention to the lyrics lol.

I lost a library book that was due back today and was just about to go down and gaslight the library staff. But I was first into work this morning so I ransacked the place and found the bloody thing.

That’s true, losers like Dilbert who stayed at their 90s office jobs all somehow acquired tyrannical powers in the 2010s. They used this power to dominate queer and foreign people and populate their office space with blue-eyed lickspittles and dipshits.
There's probably a dimension out there where not-terrible Scott Adams correctly read the direction business and technology was going.
There, Dilbert evolved into the full rich tech bro bad guy of the strip, and remained both funny and relevant.
We don't live in that dimension though.
