There's a caller on Liveline saying livestreaming executions is a good thing. "You don't have to watch it if you don't like it."

A Reuters investigation debunked Tesla’s flawed US research that its ‘Full Self-Driving’ system is up to 10 times safer than a human driver. Now it’s submitting the same research to European regulators deciding whether to approve FSD reut.rs/4AT9ItC
reut.rs
Tesla is browbeating the EU to approve its ‘Full Self-Driving’ tech. The pressure is working.
Elon Musk’s EV company is running a social-media campaign blaming European traffic deaths on red tape. Its safety claims don’t hold up, experts say, but regulators are starting to buckle.

I get what your saying but the stats don't account for the 30 children admitted with e-scooter-related traumatic brain injuries between May 2024 and June 2026. There were six on life support at one stage in July. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Every time I see a serial killer tv show advertised I think of this
My dad used to work with Ted Bundy at the University of Utah and every Friday my dad would say, "See ya Monday-Bundy" and I can't imagine how much Ted actually thought about murdering him for
it.

If you wanted to explain the difference between Irish people and English people, you just need to look at the reaction to the video of Emmet Scanlan on Joe Marler's podcast.
