I'm Irish as well, and your IBAN (bank account number) is not a secret. There's no real harm in giving it out. Hospitals, for example, provide their own IBAN in correspondence for payments via SEPA transfer. You'll find as we

I’m sorry, but where are you getting the jump to Marxism?

It actually only assumes that some civilisations do so, and due to that will outcompete those that do.

Interesting fact about that, those chapters are at different locations in the book depending on whether you are reading the original or the English translation. In the original, they’re closer to the middle of the book, in the hope that the

You might be right. I'll be honest, my approach to airports and flying is to have a few drinks once I get past security and then sleep my way as best I can through the flight. I can't remember if my passport was checked when I boa

While you're not wrong, the grandparent comment said that most of the "dark side" is not fully mapped, implying—at least to in reading of it—that the reason it's not mapped is due to it being the "dark side". I

And actually just to add to the last question of your comment. We'd also pay for doctors bills by either cash, card, or direct debit. Healthcare in Ireland isn't perfect (long waiting times—but you can go private for quicker care)

Just want to point out that not all 16-bit code can run unhindered in long mode. You can run 16-bit protected mode code. But long mode dropped the V8086 mode that made easily emulating 16-bit real mode possible.
