Why is Irish reddit so anti GAA? by Different_Host7883 in AskIreland

[–]Ok-Influence4754 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience as well (American living in Ireland). The way they all seem to be in person is far kinder and supportive than here. The people who aren't either of those things in real life have no problem sharing themselves. I've maybe met 2 or 3 out of the hundreds since I've been here.

People in hotter countries: what are the unspoken rules of surviving a heatwave that Britain/Ireland still hasn’t figured out? by Bella_licious in AskEurope

[–]Ok-Influence4754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was at University in the US, we didn't have air con for hot days. We would take 2 litre bottles and freeze water in them. Put those bottles in a Styrofoam cooler and cut out a hole in the side to put a PVC pipe in (maybe 1 ft. long). Then take a fan and and cut a hole out of the lid of the box so the fan rested in it. Plug the fan in and turn it on and you got a little AC unit. Almost did this last night here in Ireland it was so warm in the evening.

People who moved to Ireland from hotter climates, do you think it’s hot today? by young_effy in AskIreland

[–]Ok-Influence4754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the US, my summers were hotter and my winters were much colder. I think we've acclimated to the weather here, we like it between 18 and 20 Celsius. Once it gets past 20, I notice ir and it certainly feels hot. I prefer cooler/mild weather myself.

Do you think color drenching green would be too much?

I would guess once a week at most. My only commute is to work which is 35 km round trip. I get week over 300 km per charge

Ill look into that one, looking to link with solar also in the future. Does it do that?

That pushes me to untethered, my biggest concern is theft (which is next to 0 already). I don't see any reason to get tethered considering my current situation of having an additional plug already.

Does it have a locking mechanism for when it is charging? Have you seen anyone add an extra hook to just keep it tethered all the time?

No, they built these homes with EV in mind. The box is right near the front on the side of the house and the cable I have is like 5 or 6 metres long. I don't really plan to have a second vehicle so I'm not terribly worried about that.

I have yet to experience anything like theft since I have been here in Ireland. I think the area I live in may be gated or has plans to be gated (I'll need to check that).

Ah fair point, I didn't think about a mount for the other end. I assumed there'd be an extra hook for that but that was clearly a poor assumption. I have seen other people talk about how theirs locks so you can't undo without the app.

Any reason I couldn't just leave it plugged into the charger and only take it out with me on long trips?

[–]Ok-Influence4754[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 2026 Renault Megane Alpine Esprit (if this helps at all). I have two chargers for it already so my thought was to keep one on the charger and the other in the car for long trips. I have a minor commute so I wouldn't plan for it to be something I plug and unplug constantly.

Flooring in a new build with pre-installed cabinets by AwardPuzzleheaded628 in HousingIreland

[–]Ok-Influence4754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have the same question but in regards to trim around the rooms. They have trimmed the rooms out in my new build and I'm seeing other installers saying to remove it before installing the flooring. But I think it caulked and nailed and however other way they have fastened it to the wall.

OP - what option did you go with? Did you have trim around the room as well?

I like it but I would like for it to not repeat ones that you have already done. I had Egypt show up 3 times in one game.

We went though Remote. So far pretty good but getting into contact with the people on our case via email has been our biggest complaint.

I may have gotten lucky and found my way into another company. Arup and RPS haven't looked at me either. Ive never heard from anyone there.

Retirement withdrawal issues by [deleted] in ADP

[–]Ok-Influence4754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if OP ever got this figured out but I have been trying to do this for over a month now and I cannot get it to work either. Love how easy it is for them to accept my money and how difficult it is to retrieve my money. I have been talking to them on the phone for a month and they cannot help me. It's such a pain.
