@Independent_ie Raising the threshold for the higher rate only benefits those who earn more than the new threshold, anyone on less than the current threshold gains nothing.

@SuzieD755164 Or so they think, once there is enough they will have their own party, well organised and with no doubt about their identity or goals. Game over then

@manuell13600 @Alonso_GD Exactly, vast majority living and working on farms to support an Urban class. That is not the case now, so what go back to a rural peasant class and stop progress?

“You can’t grow crops in a 35 degree slope!”
Indigenous people 500 years ago:
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole
Activist: "The water usage for beef is obscene. Thousands of litres per kilogram." Farmer: "That's rainfall." Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The figure includes all the rain that falls on the pasture. The cows drink from the stream. The rain falls whether there's a cow here or not." Activist: "It's still water consumption." Farmer: "Should I stop the rain falling on my field?" Activist: "Grow crops instead. More efficient." Farmer: "This is a 35-degree slope in the Welsh hills. Show me the crop." Activist: "Technology..." Farmer: "To make tractors climb mountains?" Activist: "There must be a solution." Farmer: "There is. It's called a cow." Activist: [checks phone]

The whole month of June is set aside for the mentally unstable,yet they still insist on infiltrating the only day on our calendar to honour our patron saint and to toast our uniquely Irish history.

I often encounter the argument that we should use naval reactors for civilian purposes because they have already solved reliability and longevity issues.
One problem with that argument is that the Navy can use highly enriched, weapons-grade uranium.
This matters because the reactors need refueling far less often. In some submarines, never during their entire 33+ year lifespan.
Naval reactors are also extremely expensive, which isn’t an issue for the Navy.
But it is a major problem when trying to create a product that can compete with fossil fuels.

The navy already solved: - small reactors - long core life - reliable operation - mass production For some reason we've been leaving this technology under water for over 70 years

Can someone explain to me why the British government gave £2m to Kneecap to make a film when Kneecap openly despise the British government?

@Dannyjokes I was in the army reserves in Ireland. A load of 60mm mortar ammunition was going out of date, had the job of firing it off into a valley. Fun times!

Just learned missiles actually have expiration dates which explains why the US is always in some kind of war.

@TheDagda___ @rand_longevity Thanks a million, that is a really good point about feeling these things. Really appreciate the advice
English
most creatine is ok. check reviews, you should feel it in your brain almost instantly, work on trying to feel these things, try and notice, attention is key, niacin the redder the better, I use niacin as a test for suppliers, if there niacin doesn't work probably nothing else works
English
@TheDagda___ @rand_longevity Awesome, thanks for that! Do you have recommended Creatine brands? Or any to avoid?
English
Yeah, it is B3. Two of these compounds are easy to understand. Creatine holds water; muscles look bigger, but the brain and the muscles like extra water. Niacin dilates the blood vessels; flushes blood from the tip of your nose to the toes. Your body likes flowing blood, top to toe. Combining niacin with a sauna is exponentially better. People make everything so complicated; it's laughable.
English
@TheDagda___ @rand_longevity Is Niacin Vitimin B? I don't take Creatine but I take the others and zinc. Is creatine recomended, always associated with body building

🇮🇪🇮🇷 Ireland's former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has argued the United States and Israel should accept all the migrants that may come from the war on Iran, as the countries responsible for displacement.
“We saw it in Iraq, we saw it in Syria, where those countries broke up on ethnic grounds, you had a civil war, you had, as a result of that, increased terrorism overseas.”
“You also had significant migrant flows towards Europe, and I think one thing that if that were to happen this time, it’s America and Israel who should accept all the migrants,” Varadkar said.
The UN’s refugee agency estimates that more than 300,000 people have been displaced in Iran and Lebanon due to US and Israeli attacks.

@fitzfromdublin I loved the Sharpe books, lots of good Irish representation in there to be fair. I will take up ther recommendation!
English
If you’re looking for an Irish version of this (though of course there’s lots of Irish in Sharpe) please read Walter Macken’s “Seek The Fair Land” from 1959, a thrilling adventure tale set during the plantations told from an Irish perspective for an Irish audience
