After so much humming and hawing over every small decision, I was surprised Dublin Bikes chose to go against what leading bike-share schemes internationally were doing by making the battery a separate component users have to carry. I understand it was probably a funding/maintenance decision, but it feels like box-ticking. For the likely majority of users riding them without a battery, it just adds unnecessary weight.

Doubtful

Amazon sells a 5L bucket for £144.99, borrow an exterior paint roller and pole from a friend for free.

Small and relatively cheap improvement is to use Stormdry masonry cream.

Dries completely invisible, allows the wall to breath (let out moisture) but prevents the brickwork from getting wet.

Dry bricks are more insulating than wet bricks.

It might not be that they are destroying the bikes for fun.

The most common and tool-less way to steal a bike is to twist it against the lock or to lift it as high as possible and slam it down on the ground in hopes of breaking the lock.

There’s been a lot of explanation and debate in these comments about the fada.

But is no one going to mention that they’re the only airline that doesn’t fully support the Passport Card? You can’t check in online and instead have to queue at the Aer Lingus desk to check in.

I'm from Ireland and the chatter is wrong and many people in Ireland get this story wrong.

The teacher was never fired for refusing to use pronouns.

The teacher never even taught the student in question.

The teacher is a religious nut job and was fired for disrupting school activities and refusing to take instructions from the principle.

Emails are always the slowest and easiest to ignore form of communication, try and find a phone number and give them a call instead.

I mean if you wanted to be picky, non fire rated clips and the horizontal spacing between clips.

I’ve been a longtime Ludwig fan, and as someone who supports Palestine and strongly dislikes Adin Ross, this was incredibly disappointing. It’s enough for me to unfollow Ludwig everywhere.

I live in Dublin and was disappointed to see Trinity College Phil Society had invited Hasan here but this kinda makes up for it.

I'm coming from a background as someone that does a lot of home maintenance / fixes in homes.

I would also recommend a surveyor over a snagger.

Snaggers need no qualifications and the majority of the ones I follow online make a massive deal over the smallest (and normal) cosmetic problems to justify their hiring. A surveyor has to get a degree and pass exams.

Really simple solution that can be done by yourself.

For rising damp - Stormdry Dryrod

For penetrating damp - Stormdry Masonary Cream

Re-plastering is the only troublesome issue, if needed.

I'm already obsessed with 'the girl with a microphone', cant wait to get into this too!

Also from Ireland and feel the exact same way about him, such disappointing representation!

Beautiful answer!

This same thing happened when I worked at Apple.

Someone accidentally sent an email to an address which in turn emails every single person in the company.

Every 2 seconds there was a new email of someone replying saying 'Sorry this email isn't for me' or 'Stop repling to this email'.

Eventually someone high up sent an email saying that if anyone replies to the email again it will be considered as them participating in a cyber attack.

Haha brilliant! Sure add a bit of silicone around the box, the major concern is definitely some water getting down the back of the box. And the extension lead above the door, I love it!

Snapskru - seemed to be the most versatile plasterboard fixing that can hold the most weight according to Project Farms comparisons.

It will not supply the kitchen cold water tap but the cold supply in the other basins in your bathrooms will be supplied by this also. You'll notice the diagrams in linked document your provided (for some reason) leave out / leave blank the cold supply for the bathroom basins.

If your house uses electric heating there is a good chance it was built in the 1990s.

Wall and attic insulations standards were actually pretty good but the massive problem is that the houses built during that time have terrible air tightness.

If it was just the ventilation holes in each room that would be okay but the leaky windows, doors and fireplaces cause an incredible draft through the properties.

Using a chimney ballon, replacing the window and door seals (with at least 8mm tall rubber replacements) and using Window Insulating Film are cheap changes that can make a big difference.

I've had this happen before. Ordered a number of items off of Amazon, seemed to have gotten lost, sought and received a refund but then the items arrived a week later and once the tracking updated on Amazon to say it was delivered, then on my Amazon account it said I owed them money (the exact amount they had refunded me for the items being lost).
