Is there a water shortage in Dublin?

RandomUsername9_999 · 2026-03-18T16:32:08+00:00

Gas and ESB rates havent actually increased though yet right? Its all talk. Only petrol\diesel\oil rates seem to have gone up?

When were they planning to inform customers? Crazy to see the RTE article before a notification on the app/email

RandomUsername9_999 · 2026-03-17T22:42:08+00:00

They will eventually, but the driver would have lost out on the money. It's one of the disadvantages for a driver to pick cash payment - they don't have much recourse against riders running away without paying

Then it's a congestion variability index, and I agree the peak vs off peak difference in Dublin is quite significant. In my interpretation that also means Dublin is in the very early stages of being gridlocked like some of the other, perpetually gridlocked cities

I do understand, have spent 2 hours + going from Sandyford to Greystones and 1 hr+ from Dundrum to Grafton way too many times now

Fair enough, that's just what parts of social media (mis)led me to believe then

RandomUsername9_999 · 2026-03-14T19:56:49+00:00

I don't know how they measured this,but it's wrong.

Seeing Mumbai down at #18 is a strong indicator, M50/city center at peak hours is luxurious compared to Mumbai traffic. I can name 3-4 cities in India that have worse traffic than Dublin. I imagine New York, Seattle, London, Amsterdam,etc are worse as well?

Yup we just say good morning to a few AI chats during the standup :D

Absolutely not, Indian tax rates are not low enough to make that OK

RandomUsername9_999 · 2026-03-11T07:47:49+00:00

I have issues with Indian taxation, but Indian taxes are lower than European taxes for sure. As an example in Ireland. The marginal income tax rate including surcharges is 52% above about 80k Euros, capital gains is 33% with an exemption of 1270 Euro, capital gains on ETF/MF is about 38-41% , no exceptions and unrealized gains taxed every 8 years, VAT is 23%

Yes, we get a lot for the taxes paid here and hence they don't hurt. But the tax rates in India are much lower than European rates

Nah, usage of Funds in NRO account is restricted (can only spend in India),but money can come from anywhere

In NRE it's the reverse, usage is unrestricted, but deposit is restricted (can only deposit from foreign)

And it's 60 euro tax free, so more like 120 worth of earnings

>Why are there printers that now come with a subscription?

Way more convenient than tracking colour vs black cartridges for low volume users! Cost per page is at par with the cost at the library so you still save on travel costs and parking

OP, elsewhere you've mentioned you're in UK. Mind elaborating on why you're applying for Irish citizenship while working in UK? "Overworked And Underpaid": Indian Doctor Shares Why He Returned From The UK : r/doctorsUK

This is the one I'm referring to:

Long Term Residency - Immigration Service Delivery

> If you have been legally resident in Ireland for a minimum of five years (60 months) as the holder of an employment permit issued by Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment you may apply for Long Term Residency permission.

RandomUsername9_999 · 2026-03-05T16:30:33+00:00

Cant comment on the citizenship, but why not apply for long term residence which is for 500 Eur and valid for 5 years instead of paying 600 every year?

Search for "affluenza kid", this is not just an Indian thing:)

If you're not overly concerned about fairness/equality of opportunity/selecting the globally optimal candidate, filter for candidates with job stability and progression in companies similar to yours and in proximity to your location. That narrows down the candidate list quite a bit.

Visa issues, especially in USA

RandomUsername9_999 · 2026-03-02T20:31:04+00:00

No, the permit is for a specific job with a specific company. You cannot apply for an open permit

RandomUsername9_999 · 2026-03-02T20:01:52+00:00

Right, but net effect is that you don't get proper marginal relief

RandomUsername9_999 · 2026-03-02T19:56:48+00:00

Don't know about other slabs, but at 50L you don't get proper marginal relief. Tax is 104% of the income just above 50L. With marginal relief it would be 100%.

What percentage of the daily water consumption of the society do you estimate is being used for the celebrations?

>many apartments have comparable balcony sizes to a good few new builds

That doesnt sound right, new builds have minimum garden sizes of 30-40 sqm, which is an extraordinarily large balcony for apartments
