Walking around our old fifth class with @PeterKGeoghegan. For the non Irish speakers this is May to December

Ah the MANs. It's become a part of my life at this stage. Here's Mark Griffin from @Dept_CCAE at the PAC last month. What are these cost savings you speak of Mark? (Also it's Norcontel not Norcom)
A reminder: the Court of Appeal hearing against the Department is due to start next month with regard to access to the concession agreement under FOI - the Department lost the High Court case.
Anyways! What are these "cost savings" of €22 million? Let's dig for a second.

Interesting. China says it has tested re-usable rockets and will apply the technology "within 2-3 years"
The Chang'e 4 probe is due to land on the moon this week. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e…
Just before Christmas, China launched the first Hongyun satellite - a 156 constellation to deliver high speed broadband (similar to SpaceX's Starlink) nasaspaceflight.com/2018/12/chines…

1) Painful truths spilling out regarding those party days of the 80s.
But it's not the truth people think.

It's coffee time, September 21, 2018.

2) Why is everyone so obsessed with two people we don't even know?
3) The answer is that we're PROJECTING our own life experience, attitudes and emotions onto these strangers.

Oh great, Losurdo's book on Stalin is being translated by a student called "PornDVD666", and a publishing house that calls itself "Left", a liberal abstraction that Losurdo himself had no fondness for. -
1) You being a student = inexperience, immaturity, i would prefer an adult with some Marxist credentials translate such an important book.

2) Your crude username only further proves this.

3) Verso is also a shitheap, but at least they're run by adults.

4) Dont be so offended by the mildest criticism, or what you call "straw-cllutching", produce a good translation & prove me wrong! (Btw, what will you be doing with the proceeds?)

Ok I’m going to share a story with you regarding a crisis pregnancy I had many years ago, I have previously shared this story on my own account but think it might be good to revisit it. I was 15 when I became pregnant, 15 when I gave birth too. My eldest is now 27 #togetherforyes
I concealed my pregnancy for 5.5 months, they were very frightening times indeed. I was in school in 5th year in an all girls school. I went back to school three weeks after delivering my baby. This photo is of my and my lovely little one when she was 4 weeks old #togetherforyes

So I was going to leave this Universal Fan Con mess alone. But if you had cash flow problems as an event why were you giving so much away? Groupon has pulled the event but they sold tickets there. They gave hotel rooms & flights away like candy. None of this makes any sense.
I always side eyed this event & my reasons to avoid it were partially personal & partially math based (chaired a fan con, the math here was always bad) but basic math says if your coffers are empty then you need full price tickets to sell.
When it was pushed back the first time I expected a hotel con (or other similar sized space) to replace the convention center. Most cons start super small. 2000 people would have been an excellent showing the first time. If they participated in any cons they would know that

Part two of this thread
Genji was lying down on his bed, awake as daytime, looking at the ceiling like it had all the answers in the universe.
He sighed, shaking his head and sitting, grabbing his holoscreen.
Internet was still limited for security reasons, which was enough for him to get bored quickly.
He was fighting so bravely something that was forming inside him, but leaving his head vacant made him start losing the battle.
"Athena?" his soft voice echoed in his almost empty quarters.
"Yes, agent Shimada?"
"Can you send Lúcio's and Hana's files to my device?"
