@initjean HOLY SHIT 18 DEGREES IS BELOW FREEZING

@IrishTimes Counting chickens with this headline, they were far more active than ever yesterday (Sunday). Drones going in unusual directions. Almost like they were trolling the locals as a parting middle finger.

@mccullaghniall @soldier_destin @realBobbyHealy @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD People who don’t live under the flight path have no right to comment, much less give away the right to object of those that do.

@Independent_ie They certainly aren’t grounded today. It’s almost like they are trolling the locals

Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave. My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave. They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff. "The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil." He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us. And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue. It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair. Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble. It's a real mess, man. That guy sucks.

@brianjimmyjoe @adrianweckler @Fingalcoco @realBobbyHealy @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD *local* (claimed) supporter

@brianjimmyjoe @adrianweckler @Fingalcoco @realBobbyHealy @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD Just the overwhelming anecdotal evidence of you being the first supporter here I’ve seen in a sea of detractors. Better than the hearsay of your own claim. Either way, neither of us is going to convince the other I suspect.

@EdBIre1 Well he didn’t help himself with his dismissive attitude, name calling his detractors while blocking those politely raising concerns, and his overall disingenuous messaging.

@brianjimmyjoe @adrianweckler @Fingalcoco @realBobbyHealy @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD In which case you are the rare case of a local who likes the service. You are outnumbered and have no right to give away our rights to object.

@brianjimmyjoe @adrianweckler @Fingalcoco @realBobbyHealy @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD You clearly don’t live under the flight path, and so have no right to comment. Embarrassing for you.

@TullMcAdoo I was at the meeting in October. Everyone speaking was a volunteer, a politician or an academic.

@itsolelehmann I’d be willing to bet I’ve stayed in far more European hotels this unwitting Russian asset, and I’ve never had anything but aircon that worked and was configurable by the guest.

@julianlewo @fridayvase @realBobbyHealy Do you live in Dublin 15 Julian? If not, you don’t know what you’re talking about and have no right to comment.

@Dublinmarti The public meeting in October was attended by hundreds of annoyed locals, as well as politicians from all major parties (except Jack Chambers cos it was budget time). This is not a looney left issue, they are just better at slapping there name and face on a bandwagon.

@joehas @TacticALmover @adrianweckler @MannaAero @JohnReynlds If Amazon or Google start flying drones with the same noise and frequency as Manna, the same thing will happen. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either deluded or uninformed.

@dougleddin @KitMurray @ConorReddy95 (cont) If these issues are solved-much quieter drones and public buy-in via more meaningful cargo + more mesh based rather than radial routes, then it could work. But the reality is that Manna have been dismissive of local concerns and slippery to deal with so no goodwill remains

@dougleddin @KitMurray @ConorReddy95 (cont) Only those delivery sources (takeaway currently) that are close to the base can use the service. There is no air-based pickup. This concentrates the noise burden massively on immediately adjacent residences. 2/ cont

@Luke_Mackey 'High-load'? The things can only deliver 2 burrito bowls before maxing out

@jasonomahony Purely local objection Jason. I live under the flight path and those that don’t have very little right to comment. I was primed to love this amazing technology, but the reality of the constant buzzing is enough to turn a technophile, NIMBY resenting nerd like me right off it.
