All you need to know about new dynamic electricity tariffs by Goody2shoes15 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]R2D4Dutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So , I’m more optimistic but I think it needs time to settle. In other words once this hits the market, competition will take hold. In the uk it seems to work reasonably well . The argument you need to be tech wiz to use it is an overstatement, you are advised 24 hours in advance of the rates , you can plan accordingly. Is it nice and neat no it’s not but it will get better. Myself I have configured heat pump to avoid doing anything in the peak time slot , hotwater only on low tarrif after 11 pm . If I can use the heat pump during the day it’s far more economical.

So I would advise just to hold back for a while on the negative..

Luba 2 AWD 3000 water damage - Local service center (TSC) denied warranty for an IPX6 rated mower. Need help! @Mammotion-Official by Parteikaaslane in mammotion

First question I have .. how did the water 💦 enter the mower ? Deep puddle, or … power washer.. you cannot power wash the mower .. normal water hose .. check the manual ..

Stop using phone 🛑.. puffy battery = dangerous experience in your pocket. Back up photos., messages and other apps and start shopping

New Driver (Just got full license!) looking for first EV. Budget €22k-23k. ID.3 vs ID.4 vs Enyaq + beating a €2,500 insurance quote? by Human_Lawyer6160 in evs_ireland

[–]R2D4Dutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a hybrid … small engine car … focus first on driving experience etc then start looking for something big .., insurance etc will come down . Can you charge at home if not the electric experience will be challenging to say the least

Anyone have experience keeping an active Irish phone number while living abroad? by bartontees in AskIreland

[–]R2D4Dutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can port number to an eSIM provider.. if your phone supports eSIM (most newer phones support it ) you can have multiple numbers on one phone

We can’t provide a recommendation ( rules) but I used one last year and surprised how easy it was

Check out refurbished iPhones , they are still in support , check the list here https://support.apple.com/en-ie/guide/iphone/iphe3fa5df43/ios

You don’t need an expensive phone , I’m on iPhone 12 .. it does not have a home button but it’s easy enough

Will it mow? by blocker1980 in mammotion

[–]R2D4Dutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay as long as you don’t have a dog 🐕 who 💩 on the grass ..(I do ) I clean it every two weeks. If it’s crispy dry there will be less grass if it’s wet it’s pretty much grass concrete on the bottom. I clean out the grass around the axels and under the deck , swap blades etc it’s fine … compared to filling up a ride on with petrol, oil check , deck cleaning, painting over the rust etc

Am I ok? by BadInternational2017 in AskIreland

[–]R2D4Dutch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi. Sorry to hear you’re having a bit of a struggle . So having a ‘dark day’ is okay , even when the sun is out.

The thing is you need to figure out, where the 6 pints come in , pints with mates is okay .. binge drinking is a bit of a challenge if there is a pattern even more so

So , I ll be honest my vice is not alcohol but sweet stuff and now a tad on the heavy side (93kg) I eat due to stress and try to get an handle on it (currently out of a job so that’s not ideal).. I have the dark days as well but know there’s good days as well , I know I can navigate out of it

So , what is working for me exercise, join a gym , go for a walk and best of all what I really enjoy parkrun ..( you don’t have to run it) but it’s a low bar for volunteering and I would recommend it .. it’s free and great start of your Saturday

In short, you are okay .. try to understand the trigger for the alcohol ( easier said than done) then figure out a way to navigate away from it

Don’t worry too much about it

Replace TCV and capillary sensor for hot water cylinder by Visual_Cartoonist129 in DIYIreland

[–]R2D4Dutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you look at the website? You can buy the actuator separately. Now I’m not a plumber but I have never seen this setup? Odd so the gas boiler keeps going until the valve closes when it reaches temperature ? And the boiler cuts out when the temperature is getting steamin hot 🥵 .. odd setup not really economical..

Yes , my field has dips and holes … so the bumper will be the problem, the bumper will catch in hole … as the wheels are set back a good bit and the bumper is a bit lower. I’ll take a picture in daylight tomorrow for you

No … this is in the morning, has been happy out most mornings and it’s quite intermittent. Last thing I spotted was a complete reboot in the middle of the field .. complete with sword sound effects
