I was home schooled in Ireland in the 90s and 2000s was class craic

Building a my own block clock with an ESP32 and some E-paper. Very happy with it so far, still very much in a prototype phase. #blockclock2electricboogaloo

Tough watching Ireland tonight, a couple of current players need to be put out to pasture now. #Rugby #Sixnaions

Boarder lords!

Similar story in Clones where I'm from, same things is happening with pubs.

I especially like the soft hard times part

Hard times make tough men, tough mean make sandwiches, sandwiches make soft men, soft men make soft hard times

Reading "The way to wealth" by Benjamin Franklin and came across this passage. "We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly, and from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by allowing an abatement." A few paragraphs later he says. "It would be thought a hard government that should tax its people one tenth part of their time, to be employed in its service." Amazing to think that 1/10 tax was considered hard in those days. Idleness, pride, folly and taxes all at record highs today.

Thinking about buying this old Irish cottage, needs a lot of work but comes with a lot of land (16 acres).
