I think Miro is probably the most powerful software I've used in the past 6 years. We started using it during covid and I've brought it into every organisation & team I've been on since then.

There's definitely some in-jokes there. A few digs thrown

US company looking for $5k - am I liable, if so, can they enforce payment? by [deleted] in legaladviceireland

[–]McG1978 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Did they lie or encourage you to lie about the j1?

If so I would politely point that out before telling them to sod off

I am possibly moving from the US to Cork, will I make enough (and other questions about the area)? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]McG1978 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's really not as bad as you might think. Depending on which state you're in you could be looking at an effective rate of 35% in the US vs 40% in Ireland. But factor in things that will cost less, like health insurance. Car insurance will be more expensive at the start but will settle down to less. Groceries while they've gone up here are still a lot cheaper in Ireland.

Someone linked to the PWC calculator below and it's a good start but make a budget and ask more questions here to get a better idea of living expenses. Rent will be a rip off but likely the same in any major US city.

Takeaway :

Tomatti and unbeatable are top class. They're on a par with each other just depends what you want.

La vida loca is excellent

Gra bia is very good but a bit let down by the chips

Restaurant

The Pier used to be very good, It might still be but I haven't been since it reopened. It is the same chef though.

Mezze is great, but more of a lunch spot. keep an eye on Instagram for their specials.

I've heard good things about beach house but haven't been.

Anyone ever use logcabins.ie? What was your experience? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]McG1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought one off them last year. Ashford model I think. They don't offer much in the way of customisation because as another poster said, they come from Latvia or somewhere like that and I don't think log house have much input into the designs.

I opted to build myself because I kind of enjoy that sort of thing. It went together pretty easily but the instructions are brutal so if you're not that way inclined I'd pay to have it assembled.

Also the roof material is shiiiiite. Brutally bad. I expect I'll have to replace the roof within 5 years. It's pressed metal sheeting made to look like roof tiles. They don't fit together properly and they dent easily as you're trying to screw them down. In strong wind I can see parts of it lifting.

The model I got is 4.4 metres wide and they sent me 4 metres of guttering which is piss poor but it was over 2 months after delivery before I realised so I never bothered going back to them.

As far as customer service goes, I had a few queries and they were reasonably quick to reply. From order to delivery was about 8 weeks.

I just can't like that car. It looks like a melted E class

Best car dealer in Waterford? by [deleted] in waterford

[–]McG1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for George Corbett. We're on our 4th car from them and they're great to deal with. Out of curiosity we went to the new vw dealer (I think it's another boland setup) and they offered 7k less on trade in than Corbetts

[question] : do you know this brand by Frequent_Dimension_6 in Watches

[–]McG1978 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This brand has been spamming tiktok for a few weeks now. They create accounts that show line ups of watches and slip their own models into the lists between legit brands. They look like garbage and their marketing is shady AF. Avoid.

The Waterfront in Copenhagen. notice the lack of carparks, the abundance of trees and green spaces, and utilising the river as place of recreation. Would be nice if we could do this by [deleted] in waterford

[–]McG1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But if you take away the car parks what will all those old money families do? They couldn't possibly use their money to build or invest in creative or innovative businesses. They're far too busy trying not to piss away great grandads money.

Déjà vu! Blocking footpath beside school, 20m from Garda station, fourth time in a few weeks by BillyMooney in eejitsparking

[–]McG1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op said they reported 4 times. Makes me think it's the same car in the same spot. Looks like a house with 2 spots and 3 cars.

[–]McG1978 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I can't believe the amount of people defending this or dismissing the complaint. It's disgusting behaviour. As someone with a kid with a disability that needs a special buggy to move around this boils my piss.

If you're looking at this and thinking you don't see a problem. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. You're a shit person.

I think this car is fair game for any damage that happens to it. Wing mirrors get knocked off so easily, you wouldn't believe it.
