FWIW, Scottish and Irish (and their sister Manx) are not Brythonic, they are in the other branch of extant Celtic languages, Goidelic/Gaelic.

I don't understand this logic. It's better to have everyone see it and to guarantee it is seen by a malicious actor, instead of only a small few seeing it and there being some small potential for it to be seen by a malicious actor?

In Ireland, we literally called our reference book for exams "the log tables", despite there not having been any table of logs in any edition of it for quite a long time.

A lot of the replies suggest a language barrier being the reason, but we don't really get them here in Ireland, despite English being a national language.

I would think Sandymount routes would have few students on them, considering the price of living in that part of the city. What's more, blaming the problem on students/young people (ie. me and my peers) seems short sighted.

I have lived near Ballymun/Glasnevin for years (where there are indeed students), and would consider the problem similarly widespread everywhere I've seen in the city.

I think the mentioned problem of the choke point in the city centre was the important one for me; it's impossible to get from where I live to more or less anywhere else on the Northside without a half hour's bus to O'Connell, a change, and then a 30 minute bus again in the other direction, even if where I am trying to go is just a 10-15 minute direct drive from where I started. Walking to my destination, no matter where it is, has almost always taken a similar amount of time as getting a bus, since I moved to Dublin.

All this said, there's new bus routes coming in, so we'll see if it changes. I'm leaving the city ASAP though.

Without any doubt, I'd recommend the following books:

- 'Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon' by Kim Zetter.

- 'The Cuckoo’s Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage' by Clifford Stoll.

Both of these books are old-school infosec stories, and both are well worth the time. If I remember correctly, I listened to Countdown to Zero Day over a few days on Audible, and read The Cuckoo's Egg in one or two sittings in paperback.

I believe here they're talking about Georgia in the United States.

This is great news. However, I saw the most ads on Youtube; it would be great if Google followed suit and released similar data.

I hope this sets a precedent for publishing ad spending in future referenda too.

Speakers of my Irish-border dialect do sometimes use "childer" instead of "children", you're correct. I suppose many remnants of old English (and equally other languages) are preserved in random local dialects.
