   I don't think it's a weird case to compare two budget airlines to demonstrate why I think one is better than the other.

   Thanks, I hadn't seen a price difference like that. I'm unsure about the following. Do you know if flights between London and Belfast be covered under EU airline rules regarding missed and delayed flights?

   Whenever I have to book Ryanair, there's a lot of clicking back and forth between screens to confirm I've made the right choices. Ten minutes is a long time. That's the purpose of dark patterns.

   I don't find Ryanair much cheaper than Aer Lingus. In my experience there's up to a 20% premium, and I just cross checked the Alicante route for next week with the same results. Compared to the high likelihood of delays or cancell

   Thanks. I'm Irish, no idea what the price (in Punt, it would have been!) should have been at. A family friend hooked us up with software that should have cost money (mostly Office software, but some games and Encarta included) via the

   I expect companies to honour their legislatively required, and their advertised, warranty.

   Be thankful you didn't buy Beko. I had a horrible uphill battle trying to get them to honour a 2 year warranty in Ireland after about a years usage. After they finally engaged with the warranty, they had someone come out to 'fix&#

   You're getting pretty put out arguing that the news cycle should focus on this guy in particular and his illness in an article that doesn't mention it. I've already outlined how I was criticizing the news cycle.

    I wonder what the crossover or relationships between the two - Persons of wealth in positions of power and the church - was here at the time. In Ireland, for as long as it has existed with its own government, the two have been pretty heavil

    > is that your whole point? What are you proposing - that we ignore stories like this until we fix healthcare? IMO that's a pretty antagonistic read of my comment. GP said 'bigger story', you said 'visceral story&#x27

    I think it's more visceral, but a smaller story. 'yet another person merked by our predatory healthcare system' is a headline that will be relevant again, with new participants, tomorrow, or next week. This headline about st

    This is the main reason I read comment threads on law enforcement stuff on HN. There's a bunch of people trying to square their opinion of policing ("protect and serve") with the reality of policing ("protect and serve t

    Got it, thanks. The CIA's cocaine was still ending up on the streets of America during Iran-Contra, though, so I (in my very uninformed opinion!) don't feel like the CIA cared that much.

    I don't think it'd be difficult for the CIA to charter a cargo plane from somewhere in the USA without any questions being asked. They used to be very involved in the air freight trade. Guns don't move themselves!

    by rithdmc 4mo ago

    I'd move that up a bit! Iran-Contra was around '85, and that involved trading cocaine, which ended up on the streets of the USA, for arms. I think using the 60s as a comparison unfairly implies the CIA rehabilitated sooner than sh

    I didn't see anything about this in the opinion. It does say that multiple owners of a single property can not have their voting rights apportioned by value, as this would be dilution or would not fit one person/one vote.
