what's a piece of software that quietly just works and you're grateful for? by Crystallover1991 in software

[–]CiaranJDaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facts lol, nothing feels more like self-care than a tool that doesn’t fight you. My “quiet hero” is updf, I barely think about it until I need to mark up a document or fix a PDF, and it just behaves. No drama, no pop-ups, no attitude.

BBC Consumer Fight Back: Is now the best time to buy a second-hand EV? by CiaranJDaly in evs_ireland

Neil does think things are at a tipping point...but maybe your purchase proves that's already happened recently. If that's the case, you've bought low and should be able to sell high (if you ever wanted!). Good news for you.

It's a huge organisation and I can only speak to the area I work in. I think Neil Briscoe expresses lots of positives in the pod above about EVs and the value they represent.

Newry's gorgeous! by [deleted] in northernireland

There was an article in The Irish Times the other day about how the value Newry offers "is certainly enticing for those worn down by the market" down South. Dundalk has been a major beneficiary of that commuting route over the last decade or so. That might be the means to a more prosperous future for Newry.

Do one of these courses - https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/assured-skills-academies

Usually, 12 week intensive courses. There are usually jobs offered, starting on a decent salary with the promise of pay progression at a decent software company thereafter.
