There is precisely one point to be extracted from Supersize Me, and it's in the title of the movie. Because he set the rule of always saying yes to the supersizing, he ended up eating way over his TDEE (alcoholism notwithstanding). The super-sizing question is insidious and bad and leads to bad health outcomes, but also it's like "well loving obviously", and I don't think they even did that in Europe even before the movie

Maccies was a lifesaver when I used to work outside and the place I was in had no bakeries. They also don’t tend to give a poo poo if you just sit in there and don’t order anything as long as it isn’t rammed. Horrible company obviously, but don’t get me started on how annoyed I am that the loving Coca Cola Company happened to invent the perfect soft drink.

the guy who did Freakonomics wrote something to this end

I had already been a double cheeseburger devotee when I came across that, and I did some cursory research at the time and it seemed basically correct (when you weight your burger.xlsx rankings for ubiquitous availability).

Bit less relevant to me now that I'm not tracking macros that closely and not really eating much meat. I should check out their plant burgers sometime and see how it measures up (probably shite)

That doesn't seem to be what happened tho. In the early Me too wave he publicly outed himself in a statement as a potential sex badman, or at least that someone he worked with "believed they were raped", and detonated his career and production company.

He probably was only doing so because he felt his comeuppance was inevitable, but it's not the same as what the tweet is implying. It's not something that makes him any less lovely, it just sticks out in the memory for being fairly unusual.

Interestingly, no accuser has ever come forward, perhaps his public seppuku was enough retributive justice for the victim, who knows.

The jersey in question is for my local football team Bohemians FC, to my knowledge the only cooperatively-owned team in Ireland and pretty big on being pro-immigrant pro-Palestine etc (the shirt I have from them is subtitled "An Anti-Fascist Football Team".

The bank's valuation is likely just some algorithm checking on the size and location of the property, what similar houses in the area have sold for, etc. They're not sending anyone to physically inspect the house. It's not likely that the bank will suddenly do a 180 and refuse to lend what they told you in the agreement in principle unless you provided them wrong information at some point, like about your own income or something.

In Ireland, they most definitely send a physical person to at least do a drive-by and take a picture. An algorithm can't tell the bank if the house has just burned down or someone drove a lorry into the living room window

I've considered rolling the die and accepting job offers in the States. It would be relatively straightforward, my wife's American , a company would sponsor me, have a place to live in New York, would probably double my salary.

You can have a really nice life in CA or NY if you're comfortably middle-class, I guess a few other places like Chicago,IL or Portland,OR or the Triangle in NC as well.

But it really is a gamble, your life can go absolutely sideways in a minute and your chances of getting back on the tightrope are low (apologies for all the mixed metaphors).

That being said, I had the same opportunity to take jobs in London or Cambridge and turned them down because it would also be a major downgrade in life quality, just more in a kind of "grinding drudgery" than "precarious future" way.

Both options kinda made me appreciate my current setup. Ireland is deeply poo poo, but in a way that has kinda worked out for me and is very predictable. Perhaps I have just grown to the size my terrarium allows and anything else seems wrong to me.

E: and much like Aphex-, my partner is also pretty strong about not going back to the US, and becomes more steely-eyed about that conviction with every mass shooting event

I was in Vegas last week, and the car park in front of the Mandalay Bay hotel where Stephen Paddock shot nearly 500 people (resulting in nearly 900 injured including 60 dead), is just a chained-off empty car park now. It's right there on the Strip but people seem to just kind of mentally shrug and not acknowledge it? The vibes are deeply hosed.

E: the dude had 22 suitcases of guns that the hotel staff helped him bring to his room
