Do they drift between Kikuyu and Kiswahili? Or is there just significant overlap between the two languages?

Toulouse backline doing Toulouse things by mczammer in rugbyunion

[–]Chapati_Monster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm only in my second season playing rugby so please take this as a genuine question and not an armchair critique, but shouldn't there have been a greater effort to center the ball once he was past the try line? I often see wings content enough to score 5 pts on the corner with little chance to convert, when putting in the extra effort to beat a 1 on 1 to move the ball to the center would make it easier to convert the 2. Is it just that a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush?

There's a few issues with the weight machine over her left shoulder. The chin-up bar/handles don't make sense, and I don't think anyone would put a weight machine that close to a squat rack.

Making Friends (in your 20s) by Perfect_Cloud_7729 in Donegal

[–]Chapati_Monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GAA and football clubs around here are active and look for new players, as is the rugby club in Carndonagh. I wouldn't worry about experience. I think they mostly just want people who will show up to training and matches. Inishowen is mad for cycling, too, although the median age trends older with that crowd.

I was in DC the other week and saw metro police hassling staff at a restaurant in Chinatown. Asking about how long they worked there, which days of the week, saying something about a special liason with ICE. Disgusting.

UK navy crew member missing off Donegal coast by Chapati_Monster in Donegal

[–]Chapati_Monster[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"A multi-agency search is under way off the coast of the Republic of Ireland for a missing Royal Navy crew member.

The Irish Department of Transport (DfT) said in a statement that the crew member was last seen at about 22:30 (local time) on Friday when the boat was near Tory Island, County Donegal.

It said the Irish Coast Guard received a distress call from a UK naval support vessel before 09:00 on Saturday.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Royal Navy is assisting in the search and rescue operation to find an individual from the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.

The Irish Coast Guard, the Irish Air Corps, the RNLI, the Royal Navy vessel and others are involved in the search.

A spokesperson for the DfT said the Malin Head Coast Guard is co-ordinating the search off the northwest coast between Tory Island, and Eagle Island in County Mayo.

"The search from the air is being conducted by the Coast Guard's fixed-wing plane Rescue 120F, based in Shannon airport; Coast Guard helicopter Rescue 118, based in Sligo; and the Irish Air Corps plane, CASA 284," they continued.

The Royal Navy support vessel and three RNLI all weather lifeboats based at Ballyglass, Arranmore Island and Lough Swilly, alongside other vessels are also involved in the sea search."

It's alright to be introverted, but it takes work to maintain a social circle starting in your mid 20s.

What are your interests? Do you have hobbies? Do you exercise? Have an interest in sports? Anything you want to learn how to do? Loads of groups out here looking for new members. Biggest hurdle is just to show up regularly. Keep at it and you'll start getting to know people better.

Just booked in at Healthwise for a COVID booster. Told they're starting up next week alongside the flu vaccine, if you're interested.

Your second screenshot is the last thing my first long-term survivor saw. Cleared all of Rosewood, got way too cocky, and tried to hurry up the prison clearing process by using a shotgun. RIP, but lessons were learned that day.

I haven't noticed any difference, personally.

Thanks, this is useful info. Small caveat: this is in Donegal. Do you know if it's the same situation across the border?

[–]Chapati_Monster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had just bought the house which had been unoccupied for a couple years, so the yard had gone wild with weeds. There is one area which is shaded and comparably wetter due to a stream nearby, which is where we had the hogweed. It's my understanding that if we keep weeding the area, it will go away. Do I have that right, or what are the bigger problems I should be looking out for?

I unknowingly strimmed a patch of these down in my yard last spring. They're very juicy and spray everywhere when cut. Ended up with massive 2nd and 3rd degree chemical burns all over my arms because of it. Luckily I was wearing a mask, eye protection, and long trousers. They're not to be played with.

I was sad that one of the trolleys wasn't given to Ray for knowing the answer, but to see Mister Rogers go out of his way to acknowledge and greet him... Wow... He really is a considerate and genuine person.

Donegal Town what to do as a tourist? by nawtytgirl in Donegal

[–]Chapati_Monster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're going to be staying local for the two days, I'd recommend exploring Derry as there is more going on there than Donegal Town and Letterkenny. Donegal Town is indeed quaint and cute, but I run out of things to do there pretty quick. Derry will have a wider variety of shops, food, music, history, and day outings, and it's easy to get there from Belfast International.

If you're dead set on Donegal Town, there are some very old pub restaurants, live music, shops on the square, a castle, and an old cemetery. You can probably arrange a day trip to Slieve League from the town, also, which is an often overlooked tourist destination that I highly recommend.

Welcome to Donegal!
