She'll just have to think about sticking it to Putin and all the pain will go away.

The Irish are the biggest retards in the world when it comes to war. Everything is viewed as being comparative to the English conquest of Ireland, so the Irish will always take the side of the "little guy" no matter what. You'll see more Ukraine flags in Ireland than in any other nation in the world.

Sadly you hit the nail on the head. Still can't believe people here are clamouring for their boosters. It's as if they've completely abandoned their rebellious heritage.

As someone of Irish descent, it is depressing to see Ireland get its independence from the UK, after centuries of bitter struggle, only to submit their sovereignty to another empire (the EU) mere decades later.

What's even more depressing is watching the Irish gleefully embrace Globohomo and invite Africans and Pakis and Ukrainians to be a part of their country at the expense of nationals who are called racist bigots if they don't appreciate being displaced. This from same the country that birthed the IRA... who apparently committed terrorist acts not for Ireland but for equity and diversity?

I watched an episode of Podcast of the Lotus Eaters talking about it recently.

All the cool Irish either died fighting, starved to death in The Famine, or moved to America.

The Irish are suffering in mostly quiet resentment the same as everyone else in the west.

In typical European fashion, people demand price controls on electricity to stop the greedy utility companies from price gouging.

They have said the plan all over Europe is to do rolling blackouts on businesses during the winter as that would be enough for people to stay warm, but then what when the packaging plants for frozen goods are shut down, toilet paper factories etc? People will be firing up diesel and petrol generators, because it is worth it, this will cause a shortage in gas and an increase in transport costs.

People thought the shortages during the pandemic were bad? People are going to go hungry this time.

The People don't revolt. As long as a regime is strong, starving the masses makes them more compliant, such as in the holodomor. Change requires a weak regime that questions its own legitimacy and a competent replacement elite that feels the right to rule.

Arab Spring was pushed by the GAE. (liberal Western elites) I don't know anything about Sri Lanka but I bet they have an opposition party or underground media that was encouraging the protests, and their government was on shaky footing.

Every revolt, even the failed ones, is pushed by an elite somewhere.

Foreign powers instigating regime change is not the people organically rising up because they were disgruntled by material conditions, which is a silly Marxist myth.

There's always a replacement elite lurking in the shadows, waiting for a critical mass of foot soldiers for their revolution.

A competent regime, as the west had since WW2 until recently, can assimilate most potential elites into its ranks, which was the point of the university system, or ruthlessly crush them in infancy, as what happened to the various militia groups in the 80s and 90s.

About staying warm - In Poland shutting down schools due to cold has been elevated to a law bill and they added option to go into remote schooling after 2 days of shutdown. It is supposed to be an emergency provision and not a way to save money by local government. It's supposed to be verified later, but we all know they will first check on opposition-controller local govs.

Sys Admins are probably shitting their pants, trying to find backup generators and line up fuel.

Plus there's a lot of industrial equipment that doesn't deal well with power being suddenly cut.

This is going to be fun to watch. From a great distance.

You can trust that the servers for all kinds of news and social media will NEVER go down, because they will certainly need the propaganda to calm the population.

Trudeau said with a straight face yesterday that his Deputy PM was confronted in an elevator and called a "traitorous bitch" in Alberta last week because "people are anxious about climate change".

Yes quite a lot is dependent on nuclear power from France, because the amount of dithering and hand wringing over a nuclear power plant being built in the UK that should happened a decade ago

But this in particular is the Republic of Ireland so not the UK

Regardless of the opinions on the UA flag in the bio, I would really like to see how many KWh were measured so think if that is plausible for a coffee shop. I know electricity is insane in Europe but it is still very possible someone fucked up

permalink save report block reply

– Kienan 3 points 3 years ago +3 / -0

Possible, but I'm guess that's not the explanation. Europe's energy costs are skyrocketing across the board, and a bunch of businesses literally can't keep their lights on. So I'm thinking this is probably what it looks like at first glance; insane energy costs.

I looked at several sources and it looks like the cost of electricity in Ireland averages about €0.33/kWh. €9024.7/0.33 = 27347kWh in 73 days. They are open 8 hours per day (I checked Google) except closed one day

That means they should operate (6/7) * 73 days * 8 hr/day ~= 500.5 hours in 73 days

27347KWh / 500.5hr means an average of 54639 watts continuously. Now I realize I may have very well fucked up on my my math, coffee takes a fair amount of heat and energy and they probably heat food as well but holy shit that is a lot of energy for a tiny coffee shop to be drawing that much on average for their entire business hours.
