Either swords or €1bn ceremonial hall, I'm happy either way.

I like it too and this will sound silly but it looks like a room for people to wear robes and swords, and if we as a nation have decided that we're not even going to wear robes and swords at the presidential inauguration then we need a new room. (Also half the invited guests didn't fit)

Maybe you could do it in the Ambassador. Presidential inaugurations, addresses by visiting dignitaries, citizenship ceremonies. We inherited Áras, Oireachtas and Castle, we may as well have a go at The Spirit Of The Nation Through Architecture at least once before civilisational collapse.

I will continue vigilance until I find out. Nothing coming up for "zohran mamdani minor hurling" in the local papers so haven't got a parish yet

If I remember mid-19th century Ireland correctly, you can live indefinitely on potatoes and butter/buttermilk, but it's not optimal, and also if a novel fungus-like disease strikes your potato crop and you're living exclusively on that potato crop, there could be bad consequences.

I'm not sure this is true of Nvidia which is the biggest company in the world on the assumption that OpenAI will buy more chips forever until the paperclip experiment happens, but Microsoft are certainly positioned better than most to acquire any debris from an implosion
