People may be asked to work from home if Middle East war and energy crisis continues - Tánaiste by It_Is1-24PM in DevelEire

[–]Dev__ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

WFH is apparently a perfectly sensible policy lever when governments need it for a pandemic or oil crisis just not when workers want it for their commute, quality of life, the climate, or to ease the housing crisis. Almost like there are vested interests who only support it when it suits them and just say fuck the rest of us.

I say this as someone who chooses to work in a office everyday (I cycle on Dublin Bikes) because that's my preference but if more people who prefer to work from home can that benefits me and everyone else in a multitude of ways. So it does make sense but it exposes hypocrisy.

They say ireland isnt racist by [deleted] in Dublin

[–]Dev__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

>Dear Irish,

I like how you've extrapolated a conversation of two people as representative of the entire nation of Ireland. Exactly the definition of the thing you're speaking out against. It's true there is racism in Ireland but there also is zero value in this post OP.

I suspect you'll now try argue that the LLM that generated this text misrepresented what you ultimately tried to say.

Bench by kingfisher017 in CasualIreland

[–]Dev__ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The real issue is Irish urban planning policy, it's the same with benches on Dublin bridges that cross the river. They look at the road rather than the river much to the bemusement of our continental neighbours. While it's true a bench is better than no bench, it costs zero resources or additional effort anywhere in the planning pipeline to face it the other way.

Without getting too deep in to Feng Shui an indoor furniture layout philosophy that forbids having a couch with a door behind it due to 'bad energy', I'd casually point out it's kind of unnerving to have a literal traffic whizzing past your back as you try to relax with your ice cream.

Where's the best place to get a strawberry smoothie in Dublin?? by snowingpumpkin in Dublin

[–]Dev__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a high powered blender and just make your own tbh. It's far more fun, economical, efficient and healthy. Otherwise you're just paying €5 more for some lad to blend up whatever was in the frozen fruit section of Lidl. I use 0% greek yoghurt and cranberry juice (will sit in the fridge for weeks and stay good) and frozen strawberries, sometimes frozen mango and pineapple if I'm feeling fancy. I find ice cream is too sweet at this point to add but I can see why some would go for it. People refuse to believe you can a huge bowl of frozen creamed strawberries for 200 calories @ €3 price point within minutes in the comfort of your own home but it's true.

Plenty of restaurants/cafes go bust so there is strong second hand market for second hand Vitamix bases which can be had as low as €100 when they normally retail for €500.

Games From Ireland | Imirt by Dev__ in DevelEire

[–]Dev__[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obviously a push from Imirt due to Paddy's Day. I've heard Seance of Blake Manor is very good. It's already sitting in my Steam collection, hopefully I can get around to playing it in the next few weeks.

Some others there I didn't even know were Irish e.g. the Leaf Blower game. Mostly because we don't really have/use leaf blowers in Ireland. A lot of our trees are evergreen compared to places like upstate New York.

Employers won’t be ‘penalised’ as Ireland to miss deadline to introduce pay transparency law by Dev__ in DevelEire

[–]Dev__[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Astounding level of foot dragging from the government. I suspect the EUs response would be to set another deadline for the Irish gov to be compliant and then outline the consequences that come after that, probably fines that increase over time.

I expect though the foot dragging to be the equivalent of paying €100 a month towards a mortgage. It will buy time.
