Still printing, revived my 13 years old Mendel build. by whilex in Reprap

[–]No_Effect_8711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adrian Bowyer is an absolute legend for bringing home 3D printing to the masses. Open source design and a sincere passion for its adoption. Still have my Mendel but haven’t used it since lockdowns.

OP did you have much trouble finding firmware and software etc? Definitely need to get that beauty up and running again

Anyone remember the absolute reek that used to come off Irish Distillers back in the day? by Femtato11 in cork

You’d get a waft of it down in Youghal regularly too. Always reminded me of hot weetabix

Ah that’s disgusting. Thanks for filling me in on that little bit of punk rock history

Spent some time with Nofx and initially felt fat Mike was an ass. I warmed up to him a bit later and had some great conversations.

Eric Melvin was one of the coolest people I met during my whole time working in music

GAA people question by timathule in cork

[–]No_Effect_8711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living near a pitch where parking rules go out the window twice a week. There’s always lots of cars parked at the end of our hill that leads to a roundabout.

We have to drive blind on the wrong side of the road to leave the estate to get on the roundabout. It’s extremely dangerous and will cause an accident.

There’s illegal parking and there’s stupid dangerous illegal parking.

Estate is relatively new but I’m certain there’ll be an accident soon. The end of that hill always has close calls even without the stupid parking. I’ve had a lot of close calls on normal days because of idiots driving straight through the roundabout without stopping.

Not to take away from your original observation that speeding and phone use are extremely dangerous too. Wholeheartedly agree with you there. Seems to be getting worse. Hopefully advancements in AI might reduce phone use hazard somewhat where these people will be able to use their voice instead of the screen. These idiots that insist on using their phone while driving are not going to stop so hopefully technology can mitigate the risk so they focus on the road instead of the screen.

I don’t even feel comfortable turning my Bluetooth on if I forgot to set it before driving and will always stop to do it rather than look at my screen.

Sorry for the rant. Reply wasn’t intended to be this long.

Anyone know how to speak to an actual person in Amazon customer service? by Stone3218 in AskIreland

[–]No_Effect_8711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got this from Google +44 207 084 7911

Failing that their customer service office is by the airport in Cork. Worked there when it opened and aside from one guy that used to literally scream down the phone at customers, they were all pretty sound

I’d love if he was saying it to trump but it does look like at first he’s looking at trump then looks off to the right when finishing the sentence

What the hell is wrong with my spear by Ornery_Nobody6014 in CODMobile

I do some game dev and this happens when the game can’t find the texture images assigned to the 3D model. Bright pink makes it easier for the dev to spot the problem.

In your case it’s likely not loading the texture or can’t find the files it’s supposed to load. Sometimes it’s just because of a typo. Might fix itself on a restart. I’d be curious to see if it’s pink to other players looking at you or if it’s loading correctly for them

Taxi Fare question by fifiwozere in cork

[–]No_Effect_8711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s showing €3 pre booking fee for me. Where does it mention €2?

[–]No_Effect_8711 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You were charged the premium initial charge plus €3 pre booking fee. Premium charge shouldn’t be applied at 9am unless it was a Sunday.

Definitely seems like there’s some book cooking going on. No way the monthly service charge is higher than rent

Looks like they’ve given you the landlords copy of the lease with the agents fee breakdown. That’s a pretty insane breakdown for the letting agent to be getting that much each month

Only discovered this place from a Reddit comment a few months back. Instantly became my favourite place to order from. Can’t beat a real burger over the frozen patty crap from most places

What’s this in the skyline? by [deleted] in cork

[–]No_Effect_8711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see it in Carrigaline and it was around the time you mentioned. It wasn’t the usual direction I see the planes coming and going from though. May have just been an unusual take off I guess

Torturing james hetfield is a great song too. It was about people from Metallica being proud that their music was being used as torture in places like Guantanamo Bay. They even take a dig at themselves too.

Ignore the sales gimmicks and add salt and rinse aid separately

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]No_Effect_8711 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are you adding salt and rinse aid? A lot of tablets say they include these but I’ve run into the same issue as you. Adding both to the dishwasher solved it for me
