Oh they're gonna be pursued? Are they going to get an email saying "a thing is happening..."?
Anyone who has not filed ahead of the deadline risks being pursued and they could face financial penalties for late returns.

Wait, what?
What?
Ring said she would not support CPO being used “for even one landowner” because the emotional, mental and financial impact is “too much”. “That’s my honest view on it. If it was a motorway, I understand that. We’re not trying to stand in the way of any kind of development,” Ring said. Asked whether there would not be the same emotional impact if someone’s land was compulsorily purchased for a motorway, Ring said: “Of course, but there’s an understanding out there that that’s a key infrastructure project.” “I’ve managed to get to 42 years of age without a greenway, but I don’t know how I’d manage to get into Ballincollig these days without that motorway,” she said.

I'm a bit worried this unhinged letter has gone under the radar. Myxomatosis and rural electrification are what cause river pollution.

This is what Sam Altman thinks chatgpt can do. The same tool that summarises his emails for him 🙄

My lottery ticket is a winner! Of 4 euro 🙄
I'd be much more interested in a lottery with a better distribution of the prize money. The top 2 prizes are far too much. The next 2 are useful amounts and everything else is essentially a book token.

Nah nah nah. Never mind your anthelios. This has *invisible serum* in it. Makes you all smooth and baby like. I found anthelios to be fine out foreign where it's hot, but at home it felt splodgy.

It just broke out? All by itself? Magic!
It comes after a gorse fire broke out in the Cuilcagh Mountain area near the Cavan/Fermanagh border overnight.

This was a doozy. I assume the context was from 3 questions ago on the previous page where they asked about my commute to work.
The question asks "How many days per week?"

Unfortunately, there are no pets allowed abroad. So obviously, my heart is broken, but the 525 euro will go some way to healing it.
An ad for Lottie, the 2 year old shih tzu. Asking price 525 euro We raised Lottie from a puppy and hoped one day she would have her own litter with us, as she is such a great example of the breed, has a super nature and beautiful colours and markings. However, we have to move abroad and can't take her with us as no pets are allowed. Lottie is very healthy and been raised on premium food. She is a full purebred Shih Tzu, with her parents having won shows. To us she is a beautiful pet and she needs to go to a loving home who would appreciate her kind and fun nature.

*Sniffs* Now if you'll just give me the 700 euro, I'll be on my way.
Advert for a 1 year old toy poodle. "With a heavy heart, I am looking for a new loving home for my beautiful dog as I am moving abroad..." The asking price is 700 euro.

Sam Altman's response to the question "how do you use ai?" on Adam Grant's Rethinking podcast. Altman isn't even using it the way he thinks others are or should be using it
Screenshot of the podcast transcript: Speaker 3 Honestly, I use it in the boring ways. I use it for like, you know, help me process all of this e-mail or help me summarize this documentary. There's the very boring things.

I've just done my own electrics. I'm gonna give the ESB a call, see if they need a hand.
Old switch with wires hanging out of it Old switch removed. Wires neatly labelled. New switch all wired up ready to go back into the wall. New switch screwed into the wall. Doesn't quite overlap with the footprint of the old switch 🙄

He's back on his bullshit this morning. I don't understand how the environment correspondent can be so uninterested in his subject.

George is still claiming there's not enough research to show climate change causes stronger storms.

Here's what he had to say about the storm and climate change yesterday. He was getting his scepticism in ahead of time.

www.rte.ie/news/weather...
Sorry. Can't copy/paste text from rte. The gist is that he's saying there's not a huge amount of evidence linking climate change with wind. Sure, George.

I'm shopping for office clothes. Why does this fastener suddenly appear when it's office clothes? No one asked for this. It's flimsy and uncomfortable.
