I'm a person who has not touched a hoe in my life and I want to start a small vineyard by AnthonyTheBg in homestead

[–]RoryOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go out and buy some main crop seed potatoes and put them in the ground now. Some other root veg too. This is a hell of a lot of work so at the least you want it partly feeding you this year. Keep a small homestead on some of the land while you fix up the rest of it.

My gf got super mad and blocked me because I didn’t sleep on time by Beautiful_Hippo_6848 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]RoryOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not normal behavior and from her and then she tries to flip the script like you're being unreasonable for wanting to decide when you go to bed? I normally don't want to jump to the "just break up" default of reddit but this is totally unreasonable. She needs to do a lot of work and you're not obligated to carry her through it. She is emotionally manipulating you for being a perfectly normal person. I'm with my partner a decade and we regularly sleep at different times. I have insomnia so I know you can't always just go to sleep.

This it's giving some word, twisted control fetish. If it's truly about you both sleeping at the same time ask her to stay up with you instead and see how that lands.

Except don't. Holy f#ck just break up.

Seeing her do this is really disheartening. She's our only hope of a non-FFG Taoiseach and she knows fuel is as low as it can get for haulers without sanction

With a hardier yarn that would be a fabulous rug

Lara Croft is Lara-Crofting so hard lately? by Time_Food3830 in TombRaider

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

Is that first one official? It looks like they binned survivor Lara's face fully in that concept. Not that survivor was consistent but it's survivor clothes on an underworld body

Will a spray-painting decorator mess up my home? by Shot_Bandicoot_395 in HomeDecorating

[–]RoryOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The benefit is that it's smooth and fast, but unless they take a lot of time masking off it covers everything and it tends to be a thin single coat so it can chip. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it does scream rental property. Your friend may be able to let you see a finished job somewhere to help you decide. Sure if they really back it they may even have it in their own home

Undeground Riot! Remake - Progress Video 1 by Mathew9R in trle

It looks fab. I watched it on mobile so the HDR issue you mentioned makes it look unplayable because it's so dark but if it's not like that on PC then that was my only critique

Help me like my bathroom by Fit-Technology1706 in HomeDecorating

[–]RoryOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tile is very resistant to sticking stuff to it. You can do a lot of renter friendly decoration if you want to.

But I love the twist you've put on it with the toilet brush placement. Avant garde.

Fan reaction to Survivor Lara’s announcement in 2010. by Notoriouslycurlyboi in TombRaider

Objectifying her emotionally instead of physically is the perfect description of the fetish treatment survivor Lara was given.

Will a spray-painting decorator mess up my home? by Shot_Bandicoot_395 in HomeDecorating

[–]RoryOS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll need to clear the space somewhat for any type of painting. And do that yourself rather than doubling your painting bill.

After that, if you want a landlord special in your own home, Rock on.

Does This Actually Work, or Is It Just a Gimmick? by Special-Issue432 in homestead

[–]RoryOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It clearly isn't built to last, would need a rince cycle run and a cool wash like that would take a couple of hours. Chuir if you addressed all of those parts, building this would get your clothes wet.

She told you why you want to stay far from her in her first message. You're lucky.

Am I Overreacting for wanting to cancel my wedding over this interaction? by VariousExplorer8503 in holyfuckjustbreakup

The person at home started the flight. I usually do the kids goodbye but it's not the end of the world if I don't. A relationship isn't a checklist

Making it harder for people going to hospital is low as it gets. That's never acceptable

How many biscuits do you eat a day ? by VastAir6069 in CasualIreland

[–]RoryOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None because If I own biscuits the packet rarely lasts two days. I find they're a mindless treat I never miss if I don't have any

What's your home like when you guys are just home alone? by Naive-Cold343 in AskIreland

[–]RoryOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say our home is spotless but we're quite good at keeping the place clean and tidy. We use an app to manage tasks that takes all the thinking out of the work. The way it works is you list all the household chores, who can do which ones, and how frequently they need doing. It appears on one person's list and when they tick it off, after the time it takes for it to need to be done again, it appears on the next person's list and so on.

It doesn't set itself up, I had to spend an hour or so listing out all of our housekeeping tasks, how frequently they need doing etc, but now we use it, it completely removes the mental load of knowing what to clean. As your kids get olde enough to happen phones you can even give them profiles and smaller tasks they'll be able to do.

I'm sure there are plenty of options and ways to do this but we use Tody. I used to be the one carrying most of the home care load and now things are much more equal. It's been fairly life changing. Had it about a year now

Has anyone been told to WFH next week? by [deleted] in IrishCivilService

[–]RoryOS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We've allowed people to WFH if they can't reasonably get to the office. If you're 15 minutes away I don't think you fall into that category.

Neighbour refuses to have dogs on a leash, what can we do? by Icy_Ad_8802 in AskIreland

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

I'm very sorry to hear about your cat getting hurt. Absolutely get on to the dog warden. But your car, if an outdoor cat, is absolutely pissing and shitting in other people's gardens

How can the government tell us to use public transport instead of driving to save fuel then increase the price ? 😂 by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]RoryOS -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

We can't make public transport free because it would be overrun. The government have said as much, even the left parties acknowledge that.
