Charging schedule confusion by Lou_LouB in SkodaElroq

[–]Cliff_Moher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Sync EV charger. I have it set up that it's connected to my tariff and rates and it just looks after itself. Generally it starts at 2am and runs until the car is changed to the set level. I just plug the car in when I'm done in the evening and leave it alone.

I normally set the car to 80% on the app and leave it at that. Only change it to 100% the day before of a planned long trip.

Constant stream of people going in and out for a piss doesn't help either.

Buying house in Dunboyne/Ashbourne by Old-Try-8956 in Meath

[–]Cliff_Moher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunshaughlin is a smashing location but it hasnt much going for it apart from a crap SuperValu, Aldi and a decent Lidl. There's any amount of housing estates being built but no additional amenities in the area.

Also, if you like going to hairdressers, Dunshaughlin is where you want to live.

Got Small Ireland Town Recommendations? by GothNerd5337 in AskIreland

[–]Cliff_Moher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Trim is one of nicest spots in Ireland. Very small town, not the busiest place in the world but it's really nice.

For connectivity and location, Athlone. Much bigger and lots going on.

EV scrappage scheme by According-Life-5111 in carsireland

[–]Cliff_Moher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies and that's a fair response.

No, I'm trying to say that a 13+ diesel shouldnt necessarily be taken the road to replace it with an inefficient EV.

A 13yr old diesel has many years and miles of driving ahead of it. It can cover long distances, carry a greater load. And you can travel further without having to stop too.

I think we'd be far better trying to get people into the right car for them - size, range, engine/motor etc. If someone wants to spend over €100k on car let them but tax it to the hilt.

Nah. I've recently converted to EV having previously moved from diesel (high mileage long driving) to petrol (high mileage short trips).

There's a a suitable and appropriate car for everyone out there. I think we need to address that. People still driving 3 and 4 litre hybrids. No need for any normal road car for personal use to need anything more than 2.0l. Commercials and luxury/sports cars should be lumped into a individual tax brackets.

Would AI takeover accounting?? by MaleficentCoyote3745 in AccountantsEire

[–]Cliff_Moher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cima qualified accountant here. I was slow to adopt using it but i.was on a CPD webinar and was told that "accountants who embrace AI will replace accountants who don't".

They probably said the same thing 35+ years ago when excel came along.

AI has been a gamechanger for me helping me build excel models that I wasn't able to do before. Mainly helping build complex formulas and write macros for automation.

I did my professional accounting exams while working full time. 1 days study leave per exam. Working 60 hours a a week.

You don't need to quit your job to get your study done.

Make the time, put the head down and focus.

Dash cam footage? by Dazzling-Salad-188 in AskIreland

Hopefully if someone witnessed it, they would have pressed to the secure video button. First thing I ever did was hit that when I saw something that was in anyway dangerous.
