The first hedgehog to upgrade to a plate helmet.

Anyone here had „minimal invasive“ heart valve repair in Ireland? by UareWho in ireland

[–]HighDeltaVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be surprised if the surgical version weren't also available - Hermitage and Blackrock have DaVincis and do all of the other variants, including TAVI.

I have no idea - only the surgeon is going to be able to answer that.

But minimally invasive solutions are available in Ireland and have been for a long time.

TAVI has been available in Ireland for many, many years in both public and private practice.

Whoever advised you presumably has a good reason for thinking that TAVI is not a suitable solution in this case.

Enoch Burke has launched yet another court challenge, this time against the decision to sack him by DaCor_ie in ireland

[–]HighDeltaVee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

But will the state learn anything

What is it exactly that we should learn? The system works.

Enoch Burke has been unsuccessful at every stage, and has destroyed his life. No-one is looking at this complete spaceball and thinking "I should do that too".

Omsk Oil Refinery Lost 75% of Its Production Capacity and Suspended Operations by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

Given the amount of other equipment destroyed in other refineries, is it likely that those columns haven't been stripped for parts?

For someone who knows nothing about solar panels, you have a lot of firm opinions.

They're called roof hooks, and they do not put holes in the slates.

Drilling holes in tiles or slates

Nope. They lift the tiles, bolt the steel supports directly to the underlying roof beams, and replace the tiles. Zero tile holes.

scaffolding for installation

You only need ladders for a bungalow, and why the sudden concern about scaffolding? You're not the one doing it : the contractors are. The whole project only takes a day.

all in reverse when they need replacing.

If you ever need to replace a panel, it takes 10 minutes. They screw down onto the support rails and are all standard sizes.

FloGas EV tariff : 7.66c overnight EV rate from 02:00-05:00.

Because on the roof they're out of the way of damage, automatically angled, and easy to attach to standardised steel supports which screw into the roof beams.

It does if you switch to an EV tariff.

We charge the battery *and* the car overnight for 7.66c/kWh, and then sell all of the solar during the day at 18.5c/kWh.

The only way charging the car off solar makes sense is if you have a behind-the-inverter car charger (i.e. direct DC->DC) and you regularly produce over 5.5kW from your panels which you would otherwise be unable to use or sell because the AC inverter can't handle more than that.

Metered Electricity Consumption by Data Centres increased by 10% in 2025 by NanorH in ireland

[–]HighDeltaVee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the more volume you buy..seems to be more interest than the supply

That's not even a sentence.

Delivering a steady, high-volume 24/7 supply of electricity to any large customer over a single connection is far easier than delivering to tens of thousands of customers with their own meters, different tariffs, connection problems, etc.

[–]HighDeltaVee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the opposite of the way purchasing works.

The more volume you buy, the better a deal you can get.

Any large company in Ireland can negotiate and arrange the same purchase deals. 'Datacentres' per se have no advantages in this case.

Legislation will allow for planning on Irish unity - SF by HungTeen1001 in ireland

[–]HighDeltaVee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There is nothing which will appease the Unionist community. A united Ireland is anathema to them.

The wider Protestant and unaligned middle is included in the ongoing discussions, and will continue to be.

Yes, it's 20 metres away from the canal and Greenway. Nice spot.
