Never thought I’d see an article on Gizmodo about my home area! We get a lot of floatsam washed up on our beaches, due to the Atlantic currents. An old guy once told me WW2 was great for the locals, thanks to all the bootie washed up on the shore from all the allied ships that were unfortunately sunk.

Just saw the pricing for the new MBP here in Ireland. There’s a €350 (approx. $382) premium for the tiny Touch Bar gimmick! You’d get a laptop (OK, it wouldn’t be great, but still!) for that. Crazy, even for Apple. Thankfully, I’m not an iSheep!

I’m looking to switch from my ageing PS3 at some point, but I don’t think I’ll switch to the Switch!

I’ve read a lot of inane and vacuous articles on Gizmodo, but this really takes the cake. I don’t know who is worse; the woman in question for being a phone snob, you writing a stupid article about the silly cow or me for reading it!

Not good, given the troubles there at the time! I wouldn’t recommend going to Belfast in 1981, especially if you’re Catholic/Republican or Protestant/Unionist and end up in the wrong part of town!

Looks like he’s having a whale of a time!

From memory, Leo’s (dead) wife was an Native American in The Revenent. It didn’t show them getting it on as far as I remember, but he had a son with her! Another Indian woman gets raped in that film, before castrating her attacker after Leo stepped in. That, technically, matches your question. Also, The Outlaw Josey…

I know it’s subjective, but ‘There Will be Blood’ was one of the most boring (pun intended!) films I’ve ever sat through (albeit mercifully not in a single sitting!). Only watched it through because I was stuck with it while travelling. You’d have to give me an oil well to watch it again!

I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about this documentary!

And when you drop it, it will be because you weren’t holding it right!

It’s not as bad as using deleted scenes in a trailer, *cough* Suicide Squad. Just thought I’d merge the shit storms! With respect to NMS, the dev should have clarified/updated the multi player situation before launch.

Although he’s Irish, Pierce’s natural accent is a tad British, probably due to his personal history. Funnily enough, his put on Irish accent, which regrettably he uses here again (I heard it in Evelyn before!) is dire and quite amusing/cringeworthy to us Irish people. It’s on a par with his singing in Mamma Mia. Yes,…

Japanese is a SOV language, with the verb (v) at the end. What you are probably picking up is the very regular verb endings that he ends his sentences on (and joins sentences with). Depending on if the verb has a “k” in the middle of it, like kaku (to draw), you could be picking up kaita/kaite, which he says a few…

100% agree. Exactly the same in Japan, where I worked as an electronic engineer for a year once. They are famous for working long hours, but it’s all done for show and since it’s a group mentality over there, if one does it, they all have to. They even had to turn off the power where I worked on Sundays (and maybe…

Ireland were cheated out of a possible place in the 2010 World Cup finals in a play-off with France by a similar blatant hand ball by Thierry Henry (he didn’t score, but he then passed to the player that did). He’s hated here in Ireland since!

I’ve bitten the bullet and started reading it - so far, so scary!

I like your Irish handle, so I read it! Aontaím leat!!

As a software engineer, I laughed my ass off at that scene too. Now, if it was an Alienware laptop, it would have been slightly believable lol.

A machine beating a human at a game with a gazillion possible scenarios?

I’ll third The Making of the Atomic Bomb. I’ve read many science books over the years and this was the best by far. I must order his follow up on the Hydrogen bomb. I’ve been meaning to buy Schlosser’s book for months, but I’m almost afraid to read it!!!
