    The lunatics at it again...

    Apparently they want the want the company to become fully plant based

    Because of course according to their warped mindset animal farming alone is responsible for global warming...

    Even though all farming worldwide - plant and animal contributes just 12-14 % of all global emissions.

    How many of these fuqers have given up their cars or do without their mass produced clothes?

    They really need to keep up with the science. Grazing animals are important for the soil sequesration of carbon. Vegans falsely piggy backing on climate
    change.
    That seems 50 across the 6 protest sites.

    We know they masquerade their emotional weakness for farmed animals under the environment and climate change banners. It’s terribly transparent and quite embarrassing on them.

    It's the new age religion. A worldwide union of modern hipsters connected by social media with one aim "the common good".

    There's fierce opposition to regenerative farming from vegan and even "scientists" on social media.

    I'm just glad regenerative farming got first out of the traps before veganism even became a thing.
    If it was just veganism vs conventional farming they might stand a chance.
    But veganism vs regenerative farming represents a considerable obstacle.

    Science is led by whoever pays the researcher. And science atm is kind of not doing regenerative agriculture any favours. The figures are there on soil sequestration and others going on soil methane eating bacteria.
    But when you've our own researchers claiming grassland is an emitter what hope have we.

    Anyway Harry's farm on YouTube has an interesting clip on soil carbon content.

    I'm giving the cows silage these days which is even more sickening. 2018 was like this as far as I remember. We put in the first cut in the rain and then the drought a few weeks later.

    We had a wet Spring and then the drought hit. I remember we sowed the WBC near the end of May and the next day we had torrential rain. I was worried that the seed would pool.

    Maybe for the first 5 years and then get out. Something for the CV but not a career. Gov has the guts pulled out of the army. No pension worth talking about for anyone joining now. Even tho I reckon they will have to introduce it again to retain numbers

    The temp profile of the last 6 months apparently has very strong echoes of the infamous 1879 - an interesting year in Irish history....

    Quite different here, spring 18 was very wet, then it dried up. This year we'd a very dry spring and it has turned wet.

    What happened in 1879 Birdnuts?

    What’s the best type of mattress to get and how often do you change them?
    Have a memory foam mattress 5 1/2 years where I’m waking up with a sore back recently

    You can only spin around as there’s a solid membrane on the bottom
    Disappointed we’re changing so soon but we’ve had nights of kids coming in and giving the occasional kick to the head as they were turning

    We bought off bigmickie.ie here on the the bargain alerts forum here on boards.ie.

    Good honest advise and fast delivery. Good price too.

    We bought a dear enough 2 years ago, it’s not memory foam but has a special top on it so you can’t flip it upside down. Anyhow, we both don’t like it. It’s too soft for me. The odd night I sleep in the child’s bed with him and have a way better sleep, and it’s only a cheap enough regular one, old too, but it’s lovely and firm.
    Don’t think I’d spend as much again and change more often if needed


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,460 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    Would putting marine ply or something under the mattress, firm it up?

    Famine conditions in some parts of the country and the Knock apparition. It also saw the kick off of the movements that built up to the Land League in rural Ireland

    Grandfather used to say the famine went on til the 1920s...
    Now, I am not sure if this is 100% true, but what I would say is food was still scarce and the memories of the famine were still very much in everyone’s mind...


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,826 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    An Górta mór. The Great hunger, it was the biggest famine, one of about 30 or 40, forget exactly between 1700 and 1880s.

    Even the small ones were big ones by Europe s standard of the time. while the one in the 1740s killed as many per capita as the 1840s, given our population had been halved twice in the 1600s at sword point the numbers weren't there.

    Bad neighbours are a scourge.

    Just seen this on the news - it didn’t say anything about the guards following up on it, but they surely would be wouldn’t they?
