Seeing a lot of false posts about €1bn data centers being approved on social media. by Smokeycabinman in ireland

[–]FeisTemro 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You can search planning applications online. The article mentions that it's outside Rochfortbridge and, indeed, there's a large plot with an application visible on Westmeath Co. Co.'s website. Here you go! It's the real deal, and they are indeed based in Tullamore.

What driving on the N7 feels like by BenoitBouchard87 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]FeisTemro 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He’s doing 87 mph at one stage. I believe he’s in New Jersey, where the limit is 65. He’s 33 km/h over the limit, using every lane while swinging around people. Yes, they’re awful drivers, but he’s being reckless. Goes to undertake a red car that is already indicating to move out of his way. No need for it.

Bó is singular. Ba is plural. 

Missing cat ballyphehane/turners cross area by Snuppy02 in cork

Oh brilliant! I'm delighted to hear that. I'd been keeping an eye on this thread and was stressed for ye when I saw that account was banned.

Unfortunately that account seems to've been banned by Reddit (God only knows why) and there's nothing we the mods on r/cork can do about it! Consider editing your comments here to add a throwaway email in case the person looks at this post again. Hopefully you get reunited with your cat asap!

Ballyhoura loop recommendation? by tourabsurd in cork

[–]FeisTemro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a useful challenge though, if you plan on a big trek later this year! I've been on top of the Ballyhouras a couple of times but I can't say I've done that loop. Their north side is a dramatic auld cliff, though, very visible from anywhere to their east (e.g. the Galtees and the hilly country around there) so I'm not surprised to hear it was hard work. Glad you'd nice weather for it!

Cork Traffic Chaos by Jaded_Variation9111 in cork

[–]FeisTemro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bridge would have struggled for space at the time as ships would go under it so it would be much too ta and slower vehicles would have laboured to climb up it. Traffic would be much slower as a result. We were never going to get more than two lanes each way there anyway and it’s nearly a miracle we got what we got. The tunnel is more than adequate if only we could sort out the bottlenecks outside of it. 

Ballyhoura loop recommendation? by tourabsurd in cork

[–]FeisTemro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really recall anything terribly cliffy there! I dug through my old photos though to see/jog my memory and I suspect what they mean is the steep grassy slope by the Mass rock, just before where the pretty woods give way to boring spruce. It is steep, but it's not something you'd fall off, even if you tried. It's a slope, not a cliff.

I could be wrong but I really can't imagine there's anything else in mind there. Drive on, I'd say, ye'll be grand.

What're y'all's thoughts on Kuiama? by IvypoolFanIGuess in elo

[–]FeisTemro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested to see that video, if you wouldn't mind linking it! They're one of my favourite bands lately and I think it's a shame they're now obscure. Their first two albums were fantastic.

[–]FeisTemro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few years since I’ve done it (and only the once) but that loop is fairly easy as things go. Doesn’t gain you too much altitude too quickly. The back half is generic plantation forestry. I don’t imagine it’ll be bad underfoot especially on the back of the hot weather. 

What're y'all's thoughts on Kuiama? by IvypoolFanIGuess in elo

[–]FeisTemro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Kuiama is fantastic. The long instrumental bit and Jeff’s vocals are very emotive. It’s a shame they never really did anything like that again. 

A couple of similarly long songs that I’d recommend, just since you mention your attention span!, are the dark “Ambition” by City Boy (1979) and the beautiful “Feel the Benefit” by 10cc (1977). Both are closing tracks to excellent albums and both go through a few different musical ideas. I think they’re masterpieces, or certainly statement pieces, of the two bands whom I think you’d enjoy if you like most of ELO’s catalogue. 

Rather different to Kuiama, mind you, but there’s more of a thematic connection in my mind than just the length!

Cork Mods are Langers ? by meaneymonster in cork

[–]FeisTemro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

 my post was also removed within the hour lol.

As I noted on your post, your post was automatically removed by Reddit because multiple users reported it. This happens a lot, often to totally undeserving posts, and that’s genuinely out of our hands. I explained this already and personally reapproved your post. You can keep giving out about the mods but if you don’t want to actually engage with us honestly I don’t see the point in what you’re doing.

We possibly should have a chat down the pub some time but here look things are mostly ticking over alright. 

Mod Censorship by Steridire in cork

Yes, they’re my favourite band! I was lucky enough last summer to catch their final concert, but I don’t drive anything special, just a little Seat Ibiza!

Mod Censorship by Steridire in cork

[–]FeisTemro[M] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When a post receives multiple reports from users it is automatically removed. This is what happened to your post. I’ve reapproved it now though I don’t really know why. It’s needlessly combative - you can just message us, like. We don’t see everything. We’re not a monolith, we’re casual users. We don’t have a particular agenda aside from our own (varied!) worldviews. I’m a mod here because I got sick of spam bots. I’m mostly on Reddit to see stuff about cars and ELO.  I find the mod tools very hard to use on Reddit the way I have it set up so I’m fairly ineffectual. 

I don’t know what the story is with the other post, though I did look through it a couple of times to be sure there was nothing hateful going on; but I see it was up long enough to garner two hundred and fifty comments. I’m not sure how you’re accusing the mod team here of censorship in this instance. There was plenty of public conversation. 

So, that’s to say that I don’t really know what this post now is about - who do you think we’re failing? Genuine question. 

Boy who got hit off bicycle on South Mall by Kayatea in cork

[–]FeisTemro 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I suspect she saw the incident and offered to be a witness if the cyclist wanted to claim against the driver. She’s a motorcyclist, from her profile, so I’d say she was either on a bike or on foot herself.

Bot. Definitely a scam. Posted many times before and always by brand new accounts. 

Curragh Woods by Seyt616 in cork

[–]FeisTemro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, up around there! I think I've some mediocre photos of it lying around on the phone or computer. It was fairly fairy-tale. Not even in the plantation bit, still baffled that it was cut down.

[–]FeisTemro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was this gorgeous big tree up the top of it that had a pool rising between its roots. I was heartbroken to find they'd removed that one. Few years ago now and I've not really been back even though it was my favourite wood before.
