Thing is... these things were extremely time sensitive & human beings were solving them in a matter of hours. If they couldn't be cracked in that timeframe & codes reset they moved on. So 2 days isn't great really (Not to mention it has access to all the breakthroughs from Bletchley & Poznan etc)

Working down near the convention centre, an absolute highlight of my calendar is the citizenship ceremonies. It cannot be understated how much it means to these people, who live and work and have fun beside us, to get to call Ireland home. If we freeze them out, we will be hurting ourselves.

When the mist comes down BenBulben often disappears completely. One day a couple of MAGA hatted tourists asked *Excuse me Ma'am do you happen to know where BenBulben is? It should be here* So I go *oh well they take it down at the end of the summer* *Oh I see, thank you* and went on their way

Two details stood out to me in this online exhibition, both from Curraghmore House in Waterford around 1900/1910: an invalid carriage with a reclining occupant, and footmen with what looks like powdered hair, which I had thought was long gone by that time.

Two footmen in jackets with big buttons, whose hair looks whitened, probably by powder.

What were the real medicinal effects of classical Silphium? I find it hard to believe that a herb widely used in cooking could also have such dramatic medicinal effects as sometimes described. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silphium

First up is the rusty-spotted cat! 🐈 This is the smallest cat in the world - about half the size of the average domestic cat. It really is just a baby, and for that, we’re giving it a 10/10.

I never knew which way was up with the Union flag. From this thread, since the Scottish union came first (1707) the white cross of St. Andrew should be above the red cross of St. Patrick on the flagpole side, as this shows seniority. Odd as it is, that explanation is one that will stick in my mind.

One thing I notice about "ultra-processed food" claims is that dairy in the NOVA definition is at the low end (milk-"minimally processed"; cheese-"processed"), while almost any fancy vegan product will be "ultra-processed". I've a sneaking suspicion that there's some dairy money floating around here

Good Friday is the day when Christians remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at Calvary. The scene is a common theme in religious art. This short thread has a few examples of how the crucifixion has been depicted in Irish art through the centuries. #Ireland #SpéirGhorm #GoodFriday #Medieval

An ornate stone cross decorated with figurative carvings of biblical scenes. Overlaid text reads 'Irish Depictions of the Crucifixion' the image is further captioned with 'The West Cross, Monasterboice, Louth. c.10th century'

This was at a time when I used to take the land-bridge route from Dublin to Brussels every year or two. The 'Free Enterprise' branding of the Townsend Thoresen ships was just a joke to me as my ferry passed them on the channel crossing. I still remember my absolute horror when the news broke.
