While in Malawi, I saw two farmers exchanging pumpkin seeds. This sparked my curiosity about its seed laws. Just like Kenya, Malawi has enforced its Seed Act of 2022 which prioritises certified seeds and does not recognize farmer managed seed systems #seedsovereignty

@bbboatclub Hoovering them would be a dream

I normally wouldn’t give too much of a fuck about stairs but those are fabulous stairs

@dublin_damo Good Naples movie if your not in a food coma “mixed by erry “ and haven’t already seen it

Proper way to eat pizza in Naples is to cross-cut into four slices, then pick them up with your hands and fold in half. So good.

We need a law against vulture funds. ASAP.

@lisaocarroll So sad that this is our best bet for getting FFFG to act on housing and transport

Simon Harris says lack of infrastructure risks being a ‘drag’ on Ireland’s competitiveness. Tells US investors in Dublin Ireland is working on it. US chambers of commerce say they need that plan to be articulated asap theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

@dublin_damo @AndhraBhavanIre Nice , try the masala dosa , they make a good one

My favourite Indian restaurant in Dublin, @AndhraBhavanIre, has a new branch on Upper Abbey Street, so good.

"Cut to the chase: Windermere was ‘used as an open sewer’ because of privatisation." Finding it very hard to disagree with that sentiment. thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

@HangBlaa You can send a simple email to your primary school stating that you are leaving the country , it can take tusla up to 1 year to post you a letter following up to see if your child is back in the country , it’s a very loose process, in my experience

A 6 six year old goes missing from school for 2 years, and nobody from the school or Social Services misses him, or tries to find out where he’s gone? Ireland in the 21st century!

@ocdrecovery Or macro biotic diets

Nobody has ever recovered from Chronic Severe OCD with deep breathing alone.

.@NASA, @NOAA , and the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel have officially declared that the solar maximum has begun. This marks the peak of the Sun's 11-year activity cycle, characterized by frequent sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. The solar maximum brings increased solar activity, which can cause geomagnetic storms affecting Earth’s power grids, communications, and satellites but also leads to beautiful auroras. Scientists cannot predict the exact timing or strength of solar cycles with precision. The Sun's magnetic poles will eventually switch places, and the activity will decrease, but the exact peak of this cycle may not be known for months or years. Although this cycle is stronger than initial predictions, it remains within normal limits. The most powerful flare of this cycle occurred on October 4, 2024, but wasn't the strongest ever recorded. 👉 science.nasa.gov/science-resear…

@CedarAndHoney @bbboatclub In many cases good government regulation could protect us , like in the case of facial recognition and surge pricing , but ai is a huge step forward, into the unknown , don’t let it scare you too much , humanity have made many leaps before , fire .. steam engines etc

@robomurray2 @bbboatclub I just listened to a podcast that scared the everloving hell out of me about AI and the predictions that will arise as a result of this technology that nobody needs or wants. Apocalyptic, really. It's on youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=H9vEfI…

This is fucking insane

@bbboatclub Smoke and daggers

Fucking LOL 😂

@engcountrylife Italian pros are using frying pan to pre cook the base before the oven part , ensures the base is cooked the most , and crispy …it’s probably documented on you tube somewhere

"You can't cook crisp, thin, 14" pizza in a domestic oven" they said Hold my beer 🍺 😁 It's not perfect, but the crust is hand made and hand stretched. I need to improve my stretching technique. Our home grown sauce is great though. This is doable!

@mickb290 @HannahEDaly Imagine to cost overruns of an Irish nuclear power station

Living in “the real world” - a phrase I dislike as much as “be realistic”. In *the actual real world*, where there are laws of physics, we are causing a climate crisis, and in *the real world*, Ireland’s grid can’t take more mega data centres. irishtimes.com/business/2024/…

@gylesnamopaleen Irexit , would mean the multinationals would have to move to another eu country to gain access to market , Ireland would be in the dark ages within minutes , complete financial collapse , no safety net , it would be so bad , Brexit would look good in comparison

brexit has also changed the conversation in NI. A vote now, for reunification, is as much a vote to rejoin the EU with Ireland as it is to stick with brexit GB - viewed as bonkers by most. I could go on, but, despite some anti foreigner sentiment I cannot see an Irexit. 4/4

A very interesting read. TLDR: text of a talk given recently about a new Ireland being a dependency for reconstituting britain as a nation-state post brexit.
