There are renewable powered alternatives to much of this. But only if other heavy users like Data Centres aren’t prioritised. Production of bio-fuels from feedstuff will have to be re-examined too. We are burning the equivalent of 15 million loaves of bread a day in Europe.
I was about to say, Stephen has cle a royal never flown out of Manchester Airport, T3 to be exact.
The whole vibe is "what if nazis ran a night club in Benidorm and it is a temporarily a disaster refuge?"
Exactly like any "royal tour" then
(The BBC exposing itself as a cynical arm of the UK establishment is funny when it is harmless, such as taking sides in some intra-aristocrat feud).
The, uh... whatnow?
The stretcher bearers 😄
Star Trek really needs that American format of 20-30 episodes a season and all the misses that inevitably entails.
The absolute best is Patrick Stewart, sorry Captain Picard, having dragged the crew into a Shakespeare dress rehersal, wearing a huge fake nose.
Actual correct answer is the erotic poetry we picked to be as gaeilge at our wedding. Song of Songs, "my lover is a stallion" and so on.
You might think that 2 votes for 1 junior ministerial position was a great deal for the Healy Raes.
I remember Katherine Zappone, left out of negotiations by a caucus of male independents, emerging out of nowhere as a full cabinet minister.
Little Britain Sketch: David Walliams as a scandal-hit MP giving a terrible and unlikely excuse for a sex scandal.
Bluesky: Earlier today I approached a constituent of mine, who I now understand to be a large language model...
Jaws the Revenge at age 6/7 I reckon. First 5 mins: shark eats man's arm, blood everywhere, man dying helplessly and alone, shark finishes him off. Cousin babysitter decided against watching any more.
Watched actual Jaws a year later and the floor was shark infested waters for months. Good times.
Make a change from their usual laps of Dublin 12
Still needs a first confession before ots fate is sealed I reckon.
Live by the fudge, die in the fudge.
Extended publicity stunt for his book about willingly joining the church that considers this person the paramount authority on all matters theological and administrative?
Gaillimh.
"You fixed my rift! That was all canonical, we couldve milked that thing for a whole season!"
Sometimes in government things are really hard and you will be crucified whatever you do. I beg of the Irish government: get crucified over something worthwhile. Do not toe bung half a billion euro into the hot winds of an oil crisis. Build something with it.
Strike! Shouts group most likely to make industrial action a hanging offence if they get power.
God referenced by US president in his argument with the literal pope.
Time for a politically literate media! Claims a Minister mostly known for seeking attention for imported US culture war rubbish.
Which was understandable when they wanted us to be a small state tax haven. But we now seem to be a tax magnet and we're 6 years into covid/ c.o.l supports. Yet still they dont take opportunities for strategic investment; they dont seem able to even conceive of them.
This is the most frustrating thing. Unconditional subsidy for everyone, opportunity goes begging, billions of carbon fines due in less than 4 years.
The other aspect of 10 forward is that they get to see the universe. The federation's post scarcity doesnt seem to extend to big ships or hyper drive fuel, and getting into star fleet is really hard.
We're staring into billions in fines for lack of progress on carbon in 2030, yet here we are assembling the next cash for ash scheme with spare bits of state.
This could be conditional on those contractors signing up to a timetable and legal commitment to electrify and decarbonise. But no.
How are the US-Iran talks over already? That doesn't seem like real negotiations.
The only way to durably protect hauliers - and the economy - against fossil fuel shocks is to support them to electrify trucks.
Sales of electric trucks in China outsold diesel trucks last December.
So far this year, only one electric HVG was newly registered in Ireland.

Out doing errands, I have a list from my partner which I now see is titled "Colm's childfree jaunt".
I fear I have stepped into the political abyss.
Racists brining the country to a standstill this week (under guise of fuel crisis) tried to intimidate one of the great charities in the country last night.
MSOÉ have been feeding the unhoused for 11 years on O Connell street.
Ugly scenes but beautiful show of solidarity from the people they feed.
Pretty sure you've invented the green who doesn't support new rail connections.
