Moved to Ireland from the UK, I do technology stuff (web, 3d printing, electronics) and a bit of tourism hosting on the side.
Looking at the Shannon data, these are all the days that have had max temperature of 30+ since 1945
That is 29 degrees in May, recorded at Shannon just now. Might get up to 30 later. This is a new record for May. #speirgorm prodapi.met.ie/observations...

There was a new record set, on Valentine's day. We set a new record most years as more generation comes on line. It isn't necessarily the very windiest day, as they will furl the blades in very high winds. High consistent winds over a large area is best.
Wind energy is dominant at this time of year, all the interconnectors are maxed out exporting, and it can go so much further.
this is the list of population centres > 20,000 where either *planning permission will not normally be granted* or perhaps *the regulations apply only in these places*.
So we think that <20,000 you need planning permission before May 20th complying with the new planning statement that will be published *after* May, and >20,000 you won't get it. Perhaps. We just don't know. www.brockdelappe.ie/blog/short-t...
yeah, did that yesterday, it is these places Thing is, we have *no* idea what the 20,000 means because it seems to have no relation to what the 10,000 it updated was.
Ordered a little tool for measuring threads so I can 3d print stuff that screws onto things. Checked the technical specifications and I am now not entirely sure what is going to arrive. www.amazon.ie/dp/B08MT6KYVW
Not really my area of expertise, but if I was talking to a senior administration official who said that the oil had been put in to barrels I think I would find another official to talk to.
Well I like to inform myself on Irish political topics I may have a cursory understanding of as I wasn't resident at the time. AI popped up to help:
In todays low-truth environment I had dismissed the local lion sightings with accompanying video proof as AI slop. Turns out it wasn't AI at all (or a lion). It is a dog called Mouse with some creative grooming.
We have chickens! Put the house and run together and got the feeders. One egg already!
