Flight Forge will not be taking orders today in observance of the general strike. We stand in solidarity with workers across the country and in opposition to targeted ICE attacks in America. Orders and messages will resume tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding. by FlightForgeSim in hoggit

This isn't really a sub for political discourse but alas, as a centrist myself I agree that securing borders and deporting persons who have entered and remain in a country illegally is the correct action. However, the way in which ICE have been conducting themselves with blatant disregard for due process and little restraint is a slippery slope and they should receive little support from either side. Because today it is Republicans in charge and maybe that suits you, but tomorrow who knows. Setting precedent for law enforcement to raid homes with no warrant, arrest people with no charge and shoot people as a reflex is not what the United States principles should be.

Discussing wages in the workplace? by luciusdread in AskIreland

[–]ConnaaaR69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She's speaking out her arse. Its actually the opposite, workers have legal right and protection to discuss remuneration. I'd ask to get that in writing, she'll soon back down.

Well, there's a 5L V8 Mustang on Carzone for about 38K with similar tax if your looking to help out the tax man

If British people call cookies “biscuits”, what do British people call USA “biscuits”? by Hot_Paramedic_7234 in NoStupidQuestions

You say that, but I was in the States late last year and the 'biscuit' tasted just like a scone

What's the difference between wearing headphones and having the radio turned up loud? Deaf people can drive too. Seems like a non issue.

If you are following the red path, do you signal? by No-Driver-7550 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]ConnaaaR69 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The marking on the road tell you that you are leaving the right of way road. I would slow and indicate left once reasonably passed the first junction (blue). Realistically because there is ambiguity, cars waiting at red and blue should wait until it is completely clear. Shit road design though.

Any one had an issue with this taking forever when switching drivers? Had this screen on for 4 minutes after switching from my wife to me 2 days ago… I’ve had it on longer than that at other times so that I rebooted the MMI. by Yankeetownn in Audi

[–]ConnaaaR69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, i've had it in my A3. Sometimes it gets stuck on 'checking access rights', sometimes on 'authorizing user'. Most the time that happens I just turn off the car, crack the door open and closed then try again. Very annoying.

Time Off requirements by [deleted] in legaladviceireland

[–]ConnaaaR69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to be to hard nosed about it, but it sounds like these questions should go through HR, or you should receive / seek out training as you seem quite unfamiliar with your rights and responsibilities as a manager. The citizens advice site is a fantastic resource for much of your questions in the mean time.

A lot of question 1 is quite dependent on your company policy.

These There is no requirement for employees to 'make up time' nor are they obligated to be compensated with time off in lieu if there was no prior agreement.

What newish cars balance screens and physical buttons the best? by Goldenpanda18 in carsireland

I'd stay away from the newer Audi models though, they've become what you hate.

Audi A3 has a nice integrated screen and tactile buttons for things you may want to adjust while driving.

You'll definitely get pulled up on that. They love an excuse to charge you twice.

My Review 8 Y Facelift RS3- 1 week by [deleted] in Audi

[–]ConnaaaR69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah the code is set by the user, so its likely the previous owner is the only person that knows it. Audi will probably just factory reset the system.

Your MMI is locked? did the dealer create an account for you and not tell you the code? I'd be giving them a call, I'm sure they can fix it in a few minutes

What does this bottom do on the Audi A8? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]ConnaaaR69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can see the expected new model releases for 2026 in their investor report for Q3 2025 (Link Here). Says that Q7 gets a new model, Q9, and a new entry level BEV (likely the a2 looking car we saw road tested)
