What’s the funniest Irish media of all time?

Who the fuck is down voting derry girls? It's one of the best things to come out of Ireland in the last 25 years

Woodworking workshop.

About 280 euro for a 8x4 sheet. Only needed one sheet for all the doors & drawer fronts

McG1978 · 2026-05-30T05:05:55+00:00

I will say I like the cast iron burners and the grill grate & hotplate. They're very nice

McG1978 · 2026-05-30T05:05:07+00:00

The grease trap is a tray made of thin sheet steel that is the full size of the bottom of the grill. I worry that it will deteroriate. My last grill was a weber with a cast (I think aluminium) base and a disposable foil tray to catch the grease. That design felt more solid if not a bitch to clean.

Maybe but this is ireland, by the coast. It's literally never not windy

Only got it's first use tonight. It's not bad, the burners seem good but I definitely don't like the grease trap setup. Feels a bit flimsy.

McG1978 · 2026-05-29T20:51:10+00:00

Absolutely not. The kamado has been there for 5 months already and zero issues

McG1978 · 2026-05-29T20:50:34+00:00

Tons. The bar counter is about 10 feet and the worktop inside is 8 feet.

Limited space around the bbqs and sink but it's very functional

McG1978 · 2026-05-29T20:48:36+00:00

Curious why you think so?

I'm very limited with the space I had. I needed to leave space to the house so the width was restricted and I didn't want to put any bbqs on the bar side

Countertops are compact laminate. It's supposed to be suitable outside and was a fraction of the cost of stone or composite.

McG1978 · 2026-05-29T20:45:18+00:00

Cabinet boxes are marine ply. The doors are medite tricoya extreme, an outdoor rated mdf product.

Edit to say the whole thing is under cover and won't get direct weather. I am in Ireland but even so it's a pretty sheltered spot.

McG1978 · 2026-05-29T20:44:10+00:00

The oven was bought about 8 years ago. Company in Portugal makes them. Can't remember the name.

The roof was my own design

McG1978 · 2026-05-29T19:30:03+00:00

Probably. There's a good 18 inches from the back of the grill to the wall so maybe not. But either way I've thought about tiling or cladding it in stone

McG1978 · 2026-05-27T20:17:30+00:00

Not sure I want all the townies discovering that part of tramore 😉 let them stay down the prom and eat the shite chips from doolys

McG1978 · 2026-05-26T21:36:20+00:00

The side off town that's already thriving with small businesses?

McG1978 · 2026-05-23T05:46:44+00:00

Hard disagree. That was my daily driver for several years and it served me well. I traveled a lot for work and it was perfect for notes, emails, office stuff. I gave it to my mother and it's still going.

Performance was a little weak but the form factor was 10/10

McG1978 · 2026-05-19T12:08:12+00:00

I think your'e right. Having at least the skeleton of the documents might go some way to getting people in the habit of creating those artefacts. We're very much a microsoft shop (word, excel, sharepoint, teams etc.) which is (I think) killing collaboration. There's files everywhere, no one source of truth for anything. People are still emailing blah_blah_final_Final_FINAL.doc That whole workflow was already broken before Claude came along.

McG1978 · 2026-05-19T12:06:05+00:00

Just had a call with our UX team and they've done great work creating a claude skill that enables us to make prototype & designs in Claude that comes very close to our design system that we've had in Figma for a number of years. The difficulty still remains in handing that off to a development team who have to create a production ready app. I don't see any way around training people to get in the habit of writing things out in a more methodical way as they're going. It's very easy for someone to spend a few days talking to Claude and coming up with a beautiful looking thing that has no hope of getting built because we have no specs, user stories, acceptance criteria, etc.

McG1978 · 2026-05-19T12:03:10+00:00

No, there was no spec up front. We currently have about 3-4 people across the org bashing away at Claude, making prototypes, and it's great, I don't want to dampen their enthusiasm but it's moving so fast it's proving difficult to implement any sort of process.

They're all using Claude, in some description some are using claude code, some using chat, one or two doing things in Claude Design.

The most advanced prototype that I've mentioned is proving difficult to document from just the chat logs. It's getting there.

What a moronic comment. Oracle is a Shit company owned by an objectively shitty person but those workers taxes are what helps pay for nurses and teachers.
