The left button on it is super stiff and inconsistent on the portion you have to press for a coresponding click.

How the Irish Shaped Britain

In this series Fergal Keane explores the profound influence the Irish have had on Britain over many centuries, from the vanished tribes of the ancient Celtic world to the Ryanair generation of today.
The telling of the story of Britain and Ireland has been dominated by narratives of conquest and rebellion in which a powerful empire attempts to subdue an indomitable native spirit – two different identities colliding throughout history. Fergal presents a more complex narrative. He begins with the old kingdoms of the Irish Sea, and travels through the time of the Vikings to the 19th and 20th century migrations, all the way to present day. Throughout the Irish have shaped literature, culture, politics and the physical landscape.

Whether it is 19th century theatre or verse, or today’s pop culture, Irish migrants and their descendants have deeply influenced and steered the UK’s literature and arts. Think of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw or, more recently, the Beatles, the Sex Pistols, Oasis, or Terry Wogan, Paul Merton, Claire Foy, the Irish and their descendants have had a profound influence on Britishness. The Irish have also been highly influential in the world of business, politics and sport.
As migration, integration and assimilation dominate public debate in Britain, Fergal examines the impact of the longest and biggest immigrant story in the history of the United Kingdom.

It's only half an hour and quite worth a listen, IMHO.

Reminds me of the book How The Irish Saved Civilization. I'll be sure to give it a listen.

They're not concerned with property protection. Corporal safety is their thing.

Is this show on crunchyroll?

It is I believe but it only has like 1 season though and leaves off on a pretty "well, this is supposed to go someplace" but it never did. It's like Black Lagoon I think in that the writer for the mangas take a lot of hiatus breaks and shit so there isn't a ton of source material.

It’s just one season in general I think and it only has 7-8 episodes. SUPPOSEDLY a season 2 is coming...... but I heard that end of 2019 then COVID happened
 
It's pretty hilarious to me how many people Hemingway swung on. He got in a fistfight with Orson Welles and they became friends, and a reviewer gave him a bad review once and used the comment "false hair on his chest" so when Heminvway met the reviewer he ripped his shirt open to show him his chest hair and then floored him with a slap.

This article is cool as it goes into some of his..
clear international law violations as a journalist lol.

@LazaRRus @HockeyBjj Someone in the SB asked me why I think Revis should be 1st ballot. This is why:



Only other recent (i.e. careers starting after 2005) DBs that come to mind as being close are ET and maybe Sherman. Wouldn't put Patrick Peterson in the conversation.

Revis changed the game (on the financial end too). But teams can’t find other corners as skilled as Revis to try and run the schemes an Alpha corner his level makes possible.

He did all that without safety help is the biggest mind blower of those numbers
 
Also to add to the Hemingway in WW2 stuff. Commandeering a motorcycle and loading the side car with whiskey and machine guns is the biggest dickest energiest shit ever done.

I'm so fucking stoked for the Ken Burns documentary.



This interview always gets me. Especially on the topic of Hemingways death.


@Jack V Savage I believe we've touched on Hemingway before, I can't remember your thoughts on him.
 
Another crackhead my moment just now.

See what a lot of people don't know about the unique culture we have down here is that crackheads in the Quarter learn riddles. "I bet I can tell you where you got dem shoes" is the most famous one, but there's a toothless riddler in front of me at Rouses (you get to know them here) was drunk as fuck trying to buy a 99 cent mini shot of Taaka dropped two pennies. And I'm vibing rn. Worked for zero dollars, just found out I'm being laid off, enjoyed a charity blunt from a buddy, said "two cents for your opinion"
Dude turned around and just said "MAN FUCK YOU" then fell over trying to pick them up.


Y'all I'm literally just high as fuck trying to buy a pack of klondike bars to give out to homeless people on my walk home.

IBM hasn't had anything to do with Lenovo for quite a while.

I think Revis is first ballot myself. I'd entertain an argument for Sherman. Peterson maybe on the veterans vote
