It's taken me a while, but I've accepted it now.

We need a support group.

This is the best answer! I can only hope you are a teacher!

Feels like more than a yellow at the moment. Wife was supposed to go to carlow today, turned around and came back after 10 mins, floods on the road and trees down.

Positive attitude, that's the best approach! 👏

@carlowweather.bsky.social seems to be par for the course now after a storm in Ireland! No idea who owned it, but it's mine now! Not that it's any use anymore!

Exactly that! It's not that it can't be technically replicated, but it's trying to get people over. Plus, especially at my age, trying to get peers in farming to try new apps... well, you can imagine how successful that would be!

"During" harvest! 🙄

I'm a farmer and I'm in a group for combine operators on Facebook. When you have an issue fitting harvest, pop a post up there for guidance and people respond in minutes. It's the only thing I really use it for, but no other app replicates it for that sort of thing.

My thing is beans. If there's no beans with it, I don't want it. (Which means I'll eat it, but complain for days after about the lack of beans in establishment x.)

There was a viz computer game and there was a level where you had to jump high tip see over a wall and the higher you got, you could start to see behind the wall and what a sight it was! If I print it here I'm sure the content will be flagged! Hilarious stuff.

Well, tbh, I think they way people socialise now is very insular. Going to people's houses is great craic, but reminds me of being a young teenager, where the only hope of meeting new people was if someone brought a cousin. How do you meet new people?

The numbers were declining anyway, but I think covid broke something in how we socialise. Younger people doing it very differently now. Not better or worse, just different. But different in a way that cements the decline of night clubs.

Let us know what you think. Some of it hasn't aged great, and not everyone is a fan, so would love to hear what you think of it.
Some jokes may have context you're not sure of, so be sure to ask!

No. Everyone knows that a quick rub between the index finger and thumb is required for it to be truly clean.

CCTV footage shows WHO chief fleeing Yemeni airport amid Israeli strike – video The Houthis have been intensifying attacks against Israel in an effort to pressure it to end its war in Gaza

Israel nearly killed the head of the World Health Organization.

Has any Western government commented on this yet? Can you imagine their response if it was Iran or Russia?

There are a lot of innocent people in gas Gaza. It's disingenuous to reduce it down to this trope. Innocent people, everywhere, deserve our support, not our scorn.
