Grateful Irish honour their Famine debt to Choctaw tribe

"Funds for native American tribes who have been badly hit by coronavirus are flooding in from Ireland as they repay a debt dating back to the 19th-century famine.

At least 41 people have fallen victim to Covid-19 in the Navajo Nation, which straddles parts of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico.

The rise in cases is partly attributed to a water crisis.

An estimated 40pc of the Navajo do not have running water at home, and a drought in the south-west exacerbated the crisis.

As the pandemic intensified, the Navajo and Hopi families set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise cash to pay for bottled water. Already more than $1.3m (€1.2m) has been raised, with donations flooding in from Ireland.

The generosity dates back to a gesture made in March 1847 when the Choctaw tribe, which was gradually re-establishing itself in Oklahoma having been ousted from its ancestral lands in Mississippi, heard of the Great Famine.

Meeting in a building in Skullyville, Oklahoma, the Choctaw were asked to dig deep for people miles away they had never met. They did and the donations poured in.

Now, 173 years later, the gesture is being repaid with donors from Ireland."

"The Choctaw and Navajo people helped the Irish during the Great Famine, despite their own suffering," wrote Michael Corkery, who donated $200.

"When I learned about it, I never forgot it. It's history now, but we are still grateful. Thank you!" - https://www.independent.ie/world-ne...ir-famine-debt-to-choctaw-tribe-39178123.html

MLB network on youtube. Im no baseball fan but that might be changing. This is some of the best no bs sports analysis Ive come across. MLB STUDIO 42 is another way to search. Im passing a bit of time understanding baseball pitching. I like deep sports terminology more than I like sport nowadays I think, so any good links for that would be welcome.
 
Been watching Brooklyn 99 for the first time. Easy viewing relaxed kind of humour.

Prior to that I watched 'After Life' with Ricky Gervais - didn't quite work for me - liked the nihilistic black humour to start with, then it all got sentimental.

Absolutely loved After Life!

Try Moneyball the book - the films ok but it doesnt really capture the statistical edge.
 
Take up 3d printing!!

I've developed a bias against 3d printing

My mums partner took it up as a hobby and my god he 3d prints the most random useless things

You see them and you want to say "why have you made this abomination?" but you have to say "yes, very nice"

The rake and the way it fits on a club is smart though
 
Ive always wanted to try macro photography. My first attempt from this morning, and indeed first real go other that point and click ever really.
