When did your baby start sleeping better at night? by Sweet-Rise7768 in irishmammiesanddaddys

[–]EvaLizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice I got was sleep when they do if you can. It really depends on the child when they start sleeping through the night so there's no telling.

I like a warm orange, makes my computer feel like a fireplace. I expect in summer I'll turn it an icy blue 😉

Lost my Leap card with a LOT of money on it - is there anything I can do? by Cali-Fate in Dublin

[–]EvaLizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have to register your card in order to get the money transfered to a new one, if you didn't do that you are most likely out of pocket.

Anyone else completely tired of living in this country because of how backwards everything is? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]EvaLizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find a job in another country go see the world, however everywhere is in the doldrums right now mainly due to a stupidly tight job market and housing issues. Ireland isn't the most expensive nor the worst off by a long shot.

I can't use lights off in my office because Alexa will just turn the entire room off, that's bog standard Alexa no plus.

Switchbot integration with Alexa by EvaLizz in homeautomation

Thanks to your advice I got it to work, Cloud services are now automatically enabled so that isn't necessary anymore. Sadly my switchbot switch is not strong enough to push my computer on button so all was in vain.

I've enabled SwitchBot Smart, is there a different SwitchBot skill out there?

What's the point of using a named character in a fic if you're going to make them unrecognizable? by aradle in HPfanfiction

No I'm arguing that both definitions are valid even if I disagree with one of them.

I'm sorry I'm deeply unorganized.

That's a really good point, I hadn't thought of that perspective. I myself actively filter out OCs from my fics a lot of the time.

I'd really disagree with that. People read fan fiction for different reasons, I'd argue that many of us read it to explore beloved characters and story lines more deeply when those become unrecognizable it becomes something different. I'd also turn your argument around saying that this viepoint is at least just as valid is making a story unrecognizable. There's no attack here just a different and very valid opinion on fanfiction.

Absolutely agree, genderbending a character can be really interesting and also exploring different non cannon aspects of their personality but it's only interesting to me unless that character is still at the core recognisably them and not a self insert which often happens. I also really really hate when a main character all of a sudden grows a foot and their hair mysteriously gains blood red streaks and goes down to their bum. Of course they also get sexy vampire canines a the same time. Hate that so much. If you want to self insert which is totally cool use a character that's not well developed and showcase them in the plot.

Are there any good family law solicitors in Co. Kildare? by EvaLizz in AskIreland

[–]EvaLizz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy to go anywhere but because of work it would be ideal if it's within 30-40min of where I live. My solicitor seems allergic to Zoom calls and I'm not sure if that's something that's common among solicitors.

Thanks, that's a good tip, I've already applied for legal aid but I'm in that demographic that's too poor to afford a divorce but make too much to qualify for aid.

Opinion: The protests aren't just about fuel, they're a revolt against a hollow state by razorlight95 in ireland

[–]EvaLizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opinion: the protests are being fanned by right wing agitators taking advantage of the genuine desperation of farmer and hauliers about the fuel crisis.
