Ok, for each retweet I’ll provide one insight, fact, or opinion on unconventional naval warfare, like submarines, explosive boats, special forces or crazy ideas

In 628, an Indian astronomer and mathematician named Brahmagupta devised the definition of Zero.

In May 1886, Dr. John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, created the syrup for Coca‑Cola.

In 2005, the two inventions met.

If the world's biggest economy puts the sort of tariffs that are being mooted on all countries globally, it will arguably be the biggest economic policy decision in history.

There is an issue with #BlueSky buffering/Not loading due to #NordVPN . If you open the NordVpn app. Settings->Split Tunneling->Manage Apps. Turn on Split Tunnelling and add the BlueSky app this will stop the buffering happening by by-passing. It is a work around until there is a fix.

Forgot to update this, but got another email yesterday from Bluesky support that VPN users,particularly Nord,are having issues seeing videos. I’m also having an issue seeing gifs (unless I’m searching for them). If I pause my VPN, I can see videos & gifs. Nord wasn’t an issue for me a few days ago.

Ukraine was easily Johnson's finest achievement. Obviously he's now decided to torch it, like the feckless vacuity he so truly is.

🚨 Capping off an extraordinary week for the grid, it looks like renewables and pumped storage were able to fulfil 90% of yesterday's electricity demand in Ireland.

The final numbers are yet to be published but this would be only the second time this has ever happened, way back in February 2022.
Renewable generation and pumped storage equalled 90% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 109% at 05:00. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 25% of demand. 13% of generation was exported, 0% of demand was met by imports.

Storm Eowyn Is Headed for Britain and Ireland
The storm, named Eowyn, is being fueled by the same weather pattern that has brought brutal cold and a rare winter storm to the Southern United States.

Things we've learned from the election
1. The far right has been rejected (now let's stop giving them air time).
2. Posts and followers on social media don't reflect real life (they are mainly bots and/or not from Ireland)
3. The Irish pay no heed to Musk, and he doesn't have influence here!

Listening to the radio in Ireland this morning and the presenter said to contact on WatsApp or contact on blue sky (instead of X). First time I have heard that on the radio in Ireland. Fair play to you @antonsavage.bsky.social
