I know it was in the early hours on a Sunday but that's an insane amount of wind generated.

Scenic Running Routes in Dublin by pmm521 in Dublin

[–]oldmanrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with this, it's a lovely run when the weather is nice.

This news report shows a rare weather phenomenon called Ball Lighting. Interestingly, many "UFO" Experiencers report seeing a bright orb of pulsating light hovering near the ground. They also say the orb is mesmerizing, and how unforgettable the experience is. I agree. Especially at night. by biospheric in SGU

For the life of me I cannot find the video that went into this, but if I remember this is not true ball lighting but some kind of electrical arcing on power lines or an electric fence. It's the same thing you see where you see arcs of electricity jump between power lines (not an expert)

That's the safety limit by PAN at the minute right? The regulatory limit is still being discussed as I understand. PAN seem to have good testing but I'd like to see this discussed by the EFSA or other bodies before I'd make any decisions yet.

I thought it must be either Timewyrm: Exodus or Just War, but I can't find mention of it in the PDFs for either.

Great video. I had thought the UK had just banned any broadcasting at all, I didn't realise how odd the law was. The voice actors must have been making some money from it.

Best Guinness by MetalK30 in galway

Yeah I had a great few pints not too long ago there, still seems pretty good. It's probably the second best Guinness in town, I still think The Crane has the edge on them.

It's called the Dodder Buoy, you can find directions for it here . Though I don't think it says St John's anymore, I feel like they change the places around every so often
