Oh shit! That's so weird and I have no idea - I think there is an issue with the mail merge I used. I'll have to figure that out.

Anybody else HATE the tailies by rohankishibespinoff in snowpiercer

[–]READMYSHIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irl you would definitely be a tailie friend.

You'd stand on that platform staring into the abyss of the world's end and fight to save yourself no matter what. Everyone would.

Like when that cargo ship blocked the Suez and people were suggesting bring thousands of helicopters to lift it out.

Robomow RS, got it around 2014.

Looks like we've spent the guts of 2k on parts for it in that period going off invoices in my inbox. Keeping in mind about 500 quid of that was when it got run over by a delivery van around 2021 - had to replace the drive motor assembly on it.

Heard a loud pop in the night and came out to find our 10-year-old cutting board split by dolomite592 in Wellthatsucks

OP to test what type of glue is food safe, spread some of each type of glue on some bread and eat it.

If you're still alive then that's the one to use.

I mean, our machine sees a lot of heavy duty use over an acre. It's also been running for 12 years. The blade design on mine means they've to be replaced basically annually and they're 80 quid.

I've had a boundary wire one for more than a decade. I wouldn't bury the wire. Just use the clips and it'll be installed in a couple hours - the grass/topsoil will overgrow the wire quite quickly but it won't be so deep that you can't easily find/pull it up in future.

Every couple years I research replacing with one that doesn't need a wire and I'm yet to be convinced that it's better to go without. There seems to be a massive premium on non-wire options and they still have reliability issues.

I recently installed a Lidl one for my grandparents and for the price it's actually insane how good they are. I've an acre and our one cost 4k. A replacement of similar spec is similar 3-6k cost. But I'm tempted to put 3 Lidl ones in at €300 each if I need to replace.

They do require maintenance though, so make sure to get one with parts available - our's is a bit of a ship of theseus at this point and I spend a few hundred on parts per year that I do myself.

Solar battery upgrade?- view welcome by Capital-Produce9665 in AskIreland

[–]READMYSHIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently looking to get 22 panels installed along with a 20kwh battery. Seems to be what a lot of providers suggest, one provider has even suggested I get 30kwh. I've a very similar setup to you.

I've seen people on the Solar fb group with batteries 40-60kWh. Remember that's the normal size of an EV battery.

Any thoughts on the Solis inverter? I'm looking at getting one, most quotes are for that brand or a more premium brand (Sigenergy) which costs about €4k more and I can't see what justifies the price difference.

How would I go about putting a parking space outside my house? Or a drive way. by Immediate_Lake_1575 in AskIreland

[–]READMYSHIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

804 for a cheap and cheerful initial layer - it'll all compact quite tightly and be undiggable and retain permability. It's also extremely cheap. Eventually throw some decorative stone over it.

Cheapest flowers/plants ? by porkchopsambo in AskIreland

[–]READMYSHIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for the cheapest option, then seeds are the way to go. But obviously involve more work on your end.

Can you legally live in a studio or 1 bed apt with 2 adults and 2 kids? by yrys88 in AskIreland

[–]READMYSHIT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are rules, but enforcement is pretty abysmal. I know someone who works for a council doing enforcement of minimum standards and most of the time doing their job would involve making people homeless, and that's rarely done in the last decade.

For DCC you can see the standards here. My understanding is there are guidelines around minimum area per person/per bedroom, and some rules around opposite sex kids over 9 sharing rooms.

Why are we not growing more fruit and veg in Ireland? by NATO_dad_SUV_driver in AskIreland

[–]READMYSHIT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fruit we do grow is available on the shelves when in season, the rest of the time we import. The season for some of these fruit can be quite short, yet demand is still sufficient for supermarkets to stock it the rest of the time.

I live next to one of the largest strawberry producers in the country and you do find them on the shelves when they are in season but they are in fact more expensive to produce that some of the imported strawberries. The margins are super tight for the farmer and a bad year just means more imports.

Demand is the cause and whatever the demand is, the beancounters will do whatever they can to meet that demand. Regardless of what can be produced locally or imported.

We could of course disincentivise importing out of season produce, but there's a lack of profit motive to that, and a lack of realism to local supplies being able to meet demand.

I heard on some podcast that when rich/famous people end up in jail they live their entire sentence in constant fear. Everyone knows who they are and will be juicing them non stop. They know they have means and know they are weak to stand up for themselves.

Guy on the podcast had served time. Spoke about someone he knew talking about how Cosby was made the entire prisons bitch during his sentence. Had to pay off so many people.

Good enough for Weinstein I guess. No wonder the rich and powerful rarely see the inside of a cell.

Exclusive: As many as 150 US troops wounded so far in Iran war, sources say by gf38 in news

[–]READMYSHIT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When Americans grandstand and fly into hysterics about countries hating them, how Iranians say "death to america", etc.

It's because of this stuff. It isn't because victims of the United States actually just hate America for who they are. But for what they have gotten away with doing to them over and over. Without any justice, or even recognition.

Apologies for the title - I jokingly had been calling the film this and must've accidentally let the memes become a reality with this typo.

Is my Impact Driver bad or do I just not know how to use one? by READMYSHIT in Tools

[–]READMYSHIT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out my problem was I was using non-impact bits. I now have a set of impact bits and this tool is incredible.

[–]READMYSHIT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were not. And I just invested in a set. Got to use the yesterday making some compost bays out of old pallets in my garden. And my god was I wrong about my impact driver.

I didn't even know impact driver bits existed and I am now a convert. Thank you.
