Just wanted to add to this for those who don’t know, windows games work through a comparability later called Proton, it usually works great, but some games don’t work well with it. (Mostly anticheat and stuff like that causing issues IIRC) I would always recommend checking ProtonDB before purchasing any game without explicit Linux support

I’ve had two in the past, had my third just three days ago, my gums are still a little raw. My most recent root canal was on a hyper-sensitive tooth, so there was initially some pain, but once the dentist applied another couple of doses of anesthetic, it was painless, basically a more prolonged filling. The only thing I’d add is that my dentist recommended ibuprofen for after the anesthetic wears off, since there may be some pain, I’d second that recommendation since your gums will be sore for a few days

Flippers wouldn’t help really given how horses actually swim, they kind of kick back with each of they’re legs in a sequence similar to a trot. Their hooves already have a bit of a hollow which likely helps with swimming. Honestly though horses are pretty good swimmers, because they have huge lungs which helps them stay afloat with ease

Well, there is a technical difference between a limit of 10 requests/minute and 100 request/10 minutes. The average is the same, but the later allows for 100 requests in a minute followed by 9 minutes of nothing, whereas the former does not and 1 request/6 seconds is even worse

As an Irish person, we have ranked choice single transferrable voting, one big benefit I see is that people can vote for less popular candidates that they closely align with without throwing away their vote, since when the candidate is eliminated your vote is transferred to your next choice.

One other thing that I thinks is very important is proportional representation, which means that for a given constituency, instead of a single candidate being chosen multiple are, for example is my constituency we have 5 Teach Dáile (members of our Dáil/parliament) This means that less popular candidates will have a real chance of getting a seat. It also means that more of the population is represented, for example in my constituency each candidate would get on average about 15%+ of the vote, meaning that 75%+ of the voting population are represented, unlike the 40% or so that a two party system usually has

And it’s not confusing, we’re thought how it works in school and voting is the easy part, counting us more tricky, but is understandable when properly explained

I think the point is that people’s routine isn’t tied to sunrise. For example, in the summertime I start work about 4 hours after sunrise, and in the winter I start work 20mins after sunrise. The difference would actually be more dramatic without daylight savings With timezones and modern internet you don’t need to look up the offset at all, you just look up the current time in that zone and decide if that’s an appropriate time to call. Speaking as someone who deals with timezones a fair bit, both in work and personal life. And as someone who understands the headache of dealing with them in international computer systems, the time zone system is a very nice compromise. Though daylight savings need to die

A local beach near me in Ireland has people parking exclusively on the beach, that said, it’s a massive breach with plenty of space.

I never have heard of anyone’s car getting overtaken by the tide, but perhaps the local farmer has pulled a few people out

Another local beach is as you described, no parking on the beach, walk on only. I think it depends on the kind of beach and the way things are set up

Oh, I’ve several. Irish people love a good curse.

Go mbrise an diabhal do dhá chois May the devil break your legs

Go ndéana an diabhal dréimire do chnámh do dhroma May the devil make a ladder out of your spine

Go n-imí an droch aimsir leat That the bad weather leaves with you

Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat May the cat eat you and may the devil eat the cat

And my personal favourite: Lá breá ag do chairde, dod adhlacadh May your friends have a fine day, burying you
