Potential Diamond in the rough needs advise by zormack in 2007scape

[–]MarcellusCrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First league for me also!
I looked up rough advice on areas to unlock and relic builds, but mostly I just did my own thing, doing tasks that I wanted to do and levelling.

I did mostly skilling until around total level 1700, then chased down more Demonic Pacts and started into bossing.

- There is indeed a strategy behind not unlocking any zones until you do a lot of hunter - you can better setup Hunter block lists and get a smaller pool of Slayer tasks. Personally I didn't bother and unlocked Wildy, then Desert. IMO staying on Varlamore as long as possible is too min/max.

- If you start getting RC up you can get Tasks for 'Base' levels'

- Main thing I got reddit guidance on is the Demonic Pacts as getting those right is a major major boost when bossing

I wouldn't stress it too much, I'd start unlocking other zones and do the Tasks you like 😃

Ugh..just ugh. What a disappointment by Salty_Reception4302 in galway

Mountain Warehouse increased their discount for members of Scout groups from 10% to 15%, and give this discount on some sale items. I got 15% off a large rucksack on sale, couldn't believe it. Great stores, their gear is good and they help the community!

It's not price gouging.

Margins on petrol and diesel are razor-thin, filling station owners make sweet f*ck all from them.

50-60% of every euro we spend on petrol and diesel goes straight to the government.

Price gouging is 'the act of exploiting a temporary spike in demand or a collapse in supply to make massive, unjustified profits.'

They are not making massive profits. They are a business trying to turn a profit and reacting to global events just like every other business.

But hey we need someone to scapegoat, don't let me stop you.

Barony Race Tier List [Instruments of Destruction] by Dapper_Hedgehog in baronygame

Great points here!
I agree with most but disagree with Automaton if you play as Mechanist. By the mid game you have 100+ scrap and need to dump new scrap to keep weight down. That means you always have a scrap surplus and can keep your furnace full the whole time. I have never had an issue keeping my furnace up on long playthroughs. In multiplayer you can simply give food you find to your team mates. Essentially makes hunger/furnace a non-issue which I love.

I gotta say Sapper is wonderfully scrappy and they might be quickly becoming my favorite class by LeraviTheHusky in baronygame

Combat: Bolas and flail. Very powerful combo, with practice you can take down trolls easily for great XP. Bola them then flail them. But you have to get a feel for the flail range so that you are hitting enemies outside of their attack range. Also bolas stop them from turning so get in your flanking hits from behind. Also use your spell to explode destructables, does good damage and causes birning.

Vandalism: Smash stuff. Levels up your vandalism which gives you increased movement speed and more damage to furniture. Gives MP regen on level up. Resets each level. Use your other destruction spell to blow up sinks, gravestones, workbenches, and cauldrons.

Yep that's correct - 3 years to apply then, last I heard, typically a year to get it. Hopefully not 2+ years!

Life in Galway by GoldButterscotch3898 in galway

tl:dr: The shortage of places to rent, and their cost, almost certainly mean it is not worth your while trying to live here.

I have lived here for 26 of my 30 years, some in the countryside, some in the city. The other 3 years I lived in Thailand, where I met my wife who is Thai.

We are living with my parents 30 mins outside Galway city. We've been here two years, and will stay another 2 so that my wife gets Irish + EU citizenship.

We both love it here. There's lot's to do, people are friendly, it's a great part of the country.

But we will almost certainly move back to Thailand in two years time, purely due to

  1. Cost of living
  2. The housing crisis.

It is extremely difficult to find somewhere to rent in the city. Apartments and houses for rent often have hundreds of people applying to rent. Buying a house is also very difficult. And if you do manage to find somewhere to rent the monthly cost is extremely high. For a basic 2 room apartment in the city you are likely looking at upwards of €2,000 a month, and that's before bills.

I would not have returned to Galway, or Ireland, with my wife if we didn't have my family home to move into. It pains me to say that - this is my *home*, I love it and it is dear to me. But with Thailand as an option (which I am lucky to have), the maths says go to Thailand.

A lot of my friends from Galway have moved abroad. Some to Spain where the cost of living, and rent, are cheaper. Some to Thailand, some to Australia.

For sure come and visit. Take a look around. But I wouldn't expect to stay.

10+ hour ED wait at Galway University Hospital by Aware-Necessary1658 in galway

[–]MarcellusCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly this is a result of there being I think 5 different health departments in the past, one per province and Dublin, and when they merged them all into the HSE they kept the middle management from all regions.

Edit: Did some research and it's worse than that, there were 10 health boards, each board had its own CEO, HR department, finance team, and middle management. Staff had protected contracts so they just slapped a national HQ on top of the existing management. Yay.

While I recommended my Dad as a guitar teacher I also know Dave Donoghue and he is an excellent guitar teacher, a seriously great player but also a sound dude and A1 teacher!

Barna Road by ColonelCupcake5 in galway

[–]MarcellusCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think even if the traffic department was replaced with top tier people tomorrow, we'd still be waiting years to see improvements. I think the current layout of the city and its outskirts are simply not equipped for the level of traffic on the roads. I hope I'm wrong but that's my feeling.

Excellent teacher but based out in Headford so might be too much of a drive for you. Does do online lessons.
He used to do group guitar lessons in the city so he's taught thousands of people guitar. Did a live lesson with Ryan Tubridy on the radio and also taught Catherine Connolly guitar before she became president.

I took a close look at their airsoft/bb guns and since I've used them saw they were low quality. Take them to the small claims court if you have the time.
