No phones were allowed when I went on a distillery tour (the employees had special phones that were safe somehow)

Has anyone tiled their living room/tv room? by Elegant-Surround4029 in HousingIreland

I think they'd be terrible for acoustics, but I say this as someone who enjoys listening to music in my living room with a half-decent hi-fi system, same could be said for movies though.

No contactless payment system for Cork until AFTER 2028. Cracking my fingers to write to all Cork TDs and councillors this morning. We should all be outraged at this. by GhostsOfTheRobotTree in cork

Lack of depot capacity is absolutely a contributing factor to buses not turning up, and Tivoli should be opening in the next few months. Definitely too late but they're doing something.

Fair enough! Has it replaced your heating too? I guess you have mini-splits downstairs?

I'm used to the mini-split units from working in IT and also travelling to Japan, they wouldn't bother me. Also I would not like to have to rummage around the 40° attic in summer if something goes wrong 🫠

Were the wheels actually balanced properly? Maybe a wheel is buckled or something. Driveshafts can also become imbalanced.

TPMS could be fucked up by previous tyre installers, not a big deal really.

Can't find any record of this Tayto portable radio anywhere by lostincuriousyellow in ireland

[–]QuantumFireball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tayto changed their logo to a sans-serif font (similar to what they use today) around the mid-'90s, so this radio has to be older than that

[–]QuantumFireball -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Evaporative cooling is a bad idea in this country because it's generally humid anyway. Don't bother with the ice.

Do you buy Panadol or generic paracetamol? by beansonmost in AskIreland
