I'll be honest and say I have no idea how to pronounce Deirdre, but it's probably something I would have asked or looked up beforehand.

e: Deidre in this case, apparently
Deirdre is pronounced "Dear-dreh" or "Dear-drah" depending on where you come from in Ireland. You may also hear it pronounced "Dear-dree" by cretins, idiots, and Englishmen. But I repeat myself. In their defence it takes an American to come up with a monstrosity like "Deidre".

Watch Ronin for a proper pronunciation. In fact, just watch Ronin for the car chases.

However, you should not watch Ronin if you want the proper pronunciation of "Hereford".

That sounds a lot like you're recommending against watching Ronin, and that's pretty hosed up. Also, the post you quoted has a lot of unnecessary words after "Watch Ronin."

Her nickname was actually Dee Dee according to other articles

The last name was still pretty wrong

That's good to know. I'd just finished reading a science fiction novel about horny Irish-American space pilgrims featuring a character named Deirdre, and was wondering how to pronounce it.

Someone who knew drat well it was Irish still insisted that her name be pronounced dee-drah. To be contrarian I guess.

Personally I'd just take the idea of a private space to poo poo and combine it with magicing my poo away after.

At that point why not magic it away the moment it comes out? Some sort of magical diaper that teleports all excretions straight to the midden honestly seems more practical than plumbing.

According to a star trek book I read star trek toilets have reverse replicators in them that turn your poop into someone's future early grey tea, hot.

How the gently caress do you not realize someone in your care is pregnant? Seems like an abortion would have been a pretty good consideration.

I'm guessing pregnancy tests are not part of the routine for comatose patients. It's also not like she can walk around gorging on ice cream, so I doubt she suddenly got real fat. All things considered, I feel like "she's pregnant" would be sooooo far down the list of things you'd suspect about a person in a fourteen-year coma that you'd overlook a lot of suspicious poo poo.

I don't want to think about it too much, though, because that story is loving GROSS. When they catch they guy who did this, they should probably just kill him and call it a day.

Well someone on staff almost certainly knows. Whether the entire staff knows isn't something we have enough information to determine.
