There is a fascinating website where they have put a tracker on a cuckoo which summers in the national park in Killarney. The cuckoo arrived in Ireland in late April, left in late June and is now tracked at the Italian coast after resting for a few weeks in the Italian alps boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 519 - 27/07/2025 12:47:49 2628227 Link

Replying To bláthach: "Does anyone know if you can put slurry on scallions? New gardener here and learning as I go along. Thanks." There's some good Apps for plants and gardening and all that. What else are you growing? Check YouTube you might get lucky if someone is growing what you're growing. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2614 - 27/07/2025 13:30:29 2628233 Link
For anyone interested in that sort of thing, there's an app called Merlin that recognises all birdsong within earshot and tells you what they are. Wouldn't be big into wildlife myself, but it's fascinating just how many different species can be around you at one time. streaker (Galway) - Posts: 551 - 27/07/2025 13:51:35 2628241 Link

Criptosporidium risk not to mention potential anti biotics or other medication that the cattle received. Scallions easy as blazes to grow should be no need for huge nutrient input unless you growing them in sand. FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 287 - 27/07/2025 14:08:52 2628243 Link

BREAKING: The Trump administration just announced it will deny federal disaster aid to any state or city that boycotts Israel. Let that sink in. If your town floods or burns, but your local government supports a peaceful boycott? Wow..they aren't even pretending anymore. It's "Israel first" in America now. Wonder what MAGA think about all this? yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11728 - 04/08/2025 21:52:12 2630069 Link

You know, it's about time Europe and other countries around the world return the medicine... the world can do without the US and it's becoming more evident day by day.

While I love what Trump is doing with The Border, DOGE, the Tariffs, Tax Cuts, etc. I hate him getting involved in any wars other than trying to help negotiate peace like he did with Thailand vs Cambodia, etc. I don't know WHAT Israel has on the US but every President seems to bend over for them.

"They justified tariffs based on trade deficit… But then they threw a tariff on Brazil at 50%, and we have a trade surplus with Brazil. There's no rationale for this other than the president wanting to raise tariffs based upon his whims, his opinions." Defend that. If he wants to impose a tariff impose it…leave it at that. The markets will adjust accordingly. Once thing the markets don't like is uncertainty and Trump flips flops every hour. An idiot. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11728 - 06/08/2025 18:00:05 2630305 Link

Seems like this Brazil tariff is all about perceived harsh treatment of his old pal and admirer, Bolosonara. Mr T wants his trial or "witch-hunt" stopped - or else. He is weaponising tariffs and everything else depending on which side he gets out of bed in the morning. He has agreed to send weapons to Ukraine, as long as European countries compensate him. Everything has a price tag on it. Honor, ethics, morality, friendships, alliances all out the window. It's all about the bottom line.

He put tariffs on countries that had tariffs against the US hence the term "reciprocal tariffs". I don't know every single nuance of each country nor do I care to. He said it loud and clear that he would punish countries that were not playing on a level playing field with the US. Since you brought up Brazil I think it's to do with their former President being harassed by the current regime. There could be more to it, I don't know.
