The men were in one of three vehicles which were in a collision on the N21 between Abbeyfeale and Newcastle West, Co Limerick, on Monday at approximately 11pm.

Honestly, that place could use a bypass. The N21 runs right through the middle of town. I expect that the road there and the buildings date back to the pre-car era, when traffic was a lot slower.

Sounds like they have been adding bypasses:

Prior to October 2010 the N21 also ran through the town of Castleisland. The town has since been bypassed. Rathkeale was also bypassed in 1992.

It sounds like they were going to bypass this particular stretch and decided against it:

The Adare bypass, which will carry the N21 around the village of Adare, County Limerick, is under construction,[5][6][7] ahead of Adare Manor's hosting of the 2027 Ryder Cup.[8] Originally proposed as part of the Foynes to Limerick Road Improvement Scheme,[9][10] a 33 km (21 mi) bypass of Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale was at the planning stage in 2006. Proposals were rejected by An Bord Pleanala in 2012,[11] and by the National Roads Authority in 2013.[12][13] Updated bypass plans were subject to additional inquiries by An Bord Pleanala in early 2021.[14]

I’m in a rural area and my options for garage door service people are limited. They only install liftmaster.

I would guess that as long as you're willing to pay them more to cover travel, you can probably convince a company further away to do it. Can't hurt to try, at any rate.

As long as you have paging space


and you almost certainly do


in general, an OS should page out pages of memory used by software that isn't being frequently used.

It's possible that the program is allocating memory and then keeps hammering it to keep it resident, but most of the time, a program allocating more memory than it absolutely requires isn't honestly that big a deal, because the OS will handle it reasonably and just leave it in the pagefile.

I don't know what the mechanism is to report this on Windows, but you might try looking in mmc (Windows-R mmc Enter), if that's still a thing in Windows 11, as it has a bunch of process resource usage graphs.

On Linux, you'll probably want to be looking at RSS to find what's actually in physical memory (well, there can be shared memory and some other things, but RSS is probably a reasonably approximation). You can see this in top.

searches

If this is current, Windows probably calls it "Working Set".

I’m looking for other complex open world games that throw you into the deep end without any explanation, and are completely unforgiving when you make mistakes.

UnReal World? It's never really grabbed me when I've tried it, personally, but it might be up your alley.

Kenshi has a pretty difficult start, though it gets easier later in the game. I don't think that it's as complex.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is quite complex and has a very steep learning curve, with a lot of hidden stats and the like and limited documentation.

The vast majority of street parking is free, but there never seem to be enough spots.

So add off-street parking in multi-story parking garages and have a fee on that.

goes looking

It looks like there is pretty decent multistory parking garage coverage in Manhattan. It's just not free


it's actually pretty pricy, as parking garage rates go


and the street parking is. Unless there are zoning restrictions preventing construction of more of it, though I mean...that's probably just part of driving in a very-high-density city.

According to my other link, 10 D batteries.

I'd imagine that one might be better off using a lithium-ion power station with an inverter and just using the power cable.

Apparently, they were pretty expensive when new.

The suburbs may have seen the music players of choice — Sony Walkmen and other gizmos of that ilk — growing smaller and smaller, but in the cities, on the streets, size was king. And there was no music player bigger and badder than the Conion C-100F, an off-brand Japanese-made boombox that sold for $450 or so in 1985 (about $1,100 in 2020 money).

It's actually probably a pretty potent lever from the Trump administration. My guess is that Anthropic might be able to sue and win. But...that will take time. They have an IPO coming up, and the last thing they want is going to be this hanging over it.

It's an argument in favor of having more checks on the Executive, I'd say.

Your statement was about 60%. Median was the correct value to cite.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

60% live on $40k or less

https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2025/demo/p60-286.html

Median household income was $83,730 in 2024

He just licenses his name to these things. He doesn't manufacture all these "Trump" products.

I use Emacs plus LaTeX to author stuff.

If I gotta read Office documents, then LibreOffice.

Japan recorded the highest ever temperature of 41.2 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, beating the previous high of 41.1 C marked in 2018 and 2020. Authorities are strongly urging people to take precautions to avoid risks of heatstroke.

The mercury hit the above-human temperature of 41.2 C in the city of Tanba, Hyogo Prefecture, at 14:39, while two cities — Fukuchiyama in Kyoto and Nishiwaki in Hyogo — also recorded extremely high temperatures of 40.6 C and 40 C, respectively.
