@Nick_Delehanty Crude sold to refineries to produce the various products and then the refined product sold on the open market

@Nick_Delehanty Hopefully they drill, but my understanding of that is it would not provide cheaper oil, it would only secure a source. The price of oil is set on the free market.

UPDATE: Barryroe Oil & Gas field Larry Goodman’s company is to meet with Minister for energy Daragh O’Brien to overturn Govt ban on drilling. Goodman is also seeking a workaround license to drill an appraisal well. Estimates say 350million barrels lay beneath. Goodman has invested €100m+ in this. Opinion: The Govt has a chance here to negotiate a deal that could transform Ireland. They cannot let Green ideology get in the way. Negotiate a deal that works for everyone. Goodman is going to get paid but lower costs for Irish people is worth it. Do not f*ck this up.

The curse of awareness.

You will have seen this graph from @SineadOS1 which confirms what many of us have been saying for a long time - that Ireland's FDI wealth has not trickled down to benefit regular Irish people. Leo Varadkar, a chief architect of this catastrophic mismanagement chimed in and got put in his place. Scary to think that man was running the country...and more scary that FF has none better to replace him with.

Life expectancy measures wealth and demographics, not health infrastructure which is in here. Ireland has the highest bed occupancy in the OECD, 43% fewer beds than the EU average, 900,000 on waiting lists, and 75% of GP lists closed to new patients. Education attainment is high yes, but 35,000 of those graduates emigrated last year because they can't afford to live here. The graph measures what the state builds and delivers, not outcomes that succeed despite it.

🧵 Ireland: EU's First Testing Ground for Digital ID & Wallet 1/9 🇮🇪 Ireland just launched a pilot for its Government Digital Wallet: a state-run app to store ID, birth certificate, driving license, and more. They're calling it "optional." For now. Here's why you should pay close attention 👇 (Please share!) gov.ie/en/department-…

I do not know who put this edit of the speech up on TikTok but I'm very happy they did it to help get the word out - again, nothing but agreement in the comments. @debybtoxgr9/video/7622976533048626454?_r=1&_t=ZN-95994b2iJ4o" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@debybtoxgr9/v…

@Greencandleit Doesn't wear socks with his trainers, that's enough for me to say I'm out. If he's wearing those invisible socks , even worse, I'm out out.

🚨 JUST IN: Macro guru Raoul Pal just said AI agents will EXPLODE the price of Bitcoin!!! 😱😱😱 "Price will catch up to the economic activity. It'll be much bigger than people imagine" BILLIONS OF AI AGENTS COMPETING FOR 21 MILLION COINS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT'S COMING?!!! 🔥🔥🔥

@TFTC21 They love saying blockchain , they think they're down with the kids saying the word blockchain over and over like idiots

Stanley Druckenmiller: "Bitcoin is a solution looking for a problem" "I'm sad it ever happened" "It wasn't needed as a store of value"

@DowdEdward Land of the free !

Fun fact: This was signed into law on December 18th 2025. The automatic registration process begins 12/18/2026. Just very curious.

Every other form of money, physical, governmental, or digital, is a shitcoin because it relies ultimately on the authority of someone to move. Everyone wants to be that someone & the stakes are so high, they'll fight for it. War is the only working alternative to bitcoin.

All politicians lie to stay in power all of the time , there is no truth from politicians. Politics is a theatre of lies. Separation of money and state is the goal, only Bitcoin stops the money printing war machine. Get some #bitcoin

Insane

Crazy increase in bot accounts spewing out the same shit over and over in recent weeks. What is going on @Support

Michael Jackson's, Billie Jean, but as Irish Folk. OK, this is insanely good 🔥 🔥 AI blows my mind sometimes!

Gregg Braden: "Climate change is a fact... It's also a fact that humans are not causing it. Is there more CO₂ in the atmosphere now than there was 10 years, 20, 50, 100 years ago? The answer is absolutely yes. Is it a bad thing? The answer is no."

BREASTMILK She thought she was studying milk. What she uncovered was a conversation. In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary—until one pattern refused to go away. Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein. Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances. It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus. Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence. But Katie trusted the data. And the data pointed to a radical idea. Milk is not just nutrition. It is information. For decades, biology treated breast milk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby? Katie kept digging. Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex. Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol—the stress hormone. The babies who drank it grew faster. They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious. Milk wasn’t just building bodies. It was shaping behavior. Then came the discovery that changed everything. When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it. Within hours, the milk changes. White blood cells surge. Macrophages multiply. Targeted antibodies appear. When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline. This was not coincidence. It was call and response. A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible—until someone thought to listen. As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition. The first food every human consumes. The substance that shaped our species. Largely ignored. So she did something bold. She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk. It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year. Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped. The discoveries kept coming. Milk changes by time of day. Foremilk differs from hindmilk. Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest—because they exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria. Every mother’s milk is biologically unique. In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health. The implications are staggering. Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth. What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced. Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk. She revealed that nourishment is intelligence. A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak. All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.” Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.
