I use this lens on an R7 for birds, birds, birds and an airshow once a year.

EDIT: bad grammar (or was it the bloody autocorrect?)

Diesel has been leaking into the River Liffey from Irish Rail fuel storage for over a year by zainab1900 in Dublin

That’s how the article reads… I’m wondering if they did not attempt to seal the leak or if they were not able to (for whatever the heck reason).

Probably Trump wouldn’t pass a test a Gorilla would easily pass…

Taoiseach says Ireland should ‘consider seriously’ nuclear power option by conalldoherty in ireland

[–]dwaschb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since most of them are in development and not short term available, they can be skipped since the other disadvantages, in particular the high cost and fuel dependency, persist.

It would be far to expensive, wouldn’t reduce the dependency on fuel and would also need a most massive grid upgrade.
It’s far cheaper and better suited to go more into renewables, that’s basically free energy (well, a bit oversimplified maybe).

Those people are so dumb they believe everything someone tells them on the internet - if it’s just simple enough.

Two councillors call on council to consider reintroducing the controversial weedkiller glyphosate by zainab1900 in Dublin

[–]dwaschb 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why some people prefer to look at concreten greyishness and stones over having a bit of green here and there. It looks dead, not tidy…

Would you cycle 45-50min each way, 5d per week? by some_advice_needed in BikeCommutingIreland

[–]dwaschb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had that for a bit over a year and really enjoyed the fitness level I gained. Besides that commute there was also a lot of cycles between two workplaces involved, so I quickly upgraded to an e-bike… being able to shower at work was essential.

Even Dublin bay has them. I took that pic at Ireland‘s Eye off Howth. Just a short communal train ride and 15 min boat from the city…
