My favourite part of this is that Ireland's weather is so shite that yes, it rains indoors

1/4 Another defeat means relegation is inevitable for my beloved Sligo Rovers. A run in the top flight that goes back to 2005 would be impressive enough for the fan-owned club. But it also included a spell that brought a league title, 3 FAI Cups, a League Cup & a Setanta Sports Cup

Pretty sure some Irish person on here will know a Packy Naughton. Both pretty common in Ireland - Packy just comes from Patrick. Although I'm convinced the second dude here was named after me.😁 (My first name is pronounced pretty similar to "Owen")

This is being shared very widely, misrepresented as kids confronting ICE. Regardless of whether you're trying to convey a healthy message, accuracy and authenticity still matter Original context: www.instagram.com/reel/DYcqnwF...

It strikes me how often I see comparisons like this, where US consumers get a raw deal on products that are supposed to be the same. 55° vs 183° is not a minor detail. The contempt for oblivious customers really stands out www.worseonpurpose.com/p/your-cookw... Your Cookware Got Worse On Purpose

Screenshot of a paragraph from a report, reading "The American Pyrex on shelves today is tempered soda-lime glass, a different material with a thermal safety margin an American Ceramic Society analysis described as borderline, roughly 55°C of headroom against 183°C for borosilicate. Consumer Reports collected 163 shattering incident reports, 42 of them involving injuries. European Pyrex, made by an unrelated company, is still borosilicate."

The leaves grow huge when compared to the pot plant they come from. And the aroma and flavour develop and come alive - these have the classic sweet basil clove taste and scent

In late spring we always buy a pot of basil from the supermarket, transplant some, and then have enough for the rest of the year. I'm always impressed by how big the leaves get and the way the aroma develops and comes alive - these have a distinct smell of clove

Pots of basil sit on a tray inside a sunny balcony.

This translation app I'm checking out not only gives you meanings, but also useful phrases that will allow you to deploy the words in everyday situations

Screenshot of a translation app. The image displays a sentence in German, "Satellit, ich empfinde den Tod dieser Kreatur als störend," with its English translation below: "Satellite, I find the death of this creature distracting." The German words "ich empfinde" and the English words "I find" are highlighted in yellow. Icons for favouriting and audio playback are visible on the right side.

I'm seeing this being shared quite a bit without the context that it originated from a satire/parody account. Be careful out there

You have to love how a bunch of Loyalist nazis - who are rabidly enthusiastic about emphasizing their Britishness - are somehow an "Ireland" problem. To be clear, Ireland has its own nasty extreme-right pricks, who need to be called out. These aren't them
